Angelo watched quietly as the scene unfolded in front of him. Serina admitting her crush on  Izzy, the awkward reaction of Izzy's, and Adrian's heart breaking. His face fell as he held witness to such saddening things; the day was<i>not</i>going well at all.<br/><br/>He'd have gone to help out Serina and Izzy immediately, had Enzo not shown his dirty little face. His face twisted in irritation as nothing but foul words came from the magician. "<span style="color: red">That fire will be in your ass if you keep being such a fuckhead,</span>" he said sharply before leaving the scene without another word. While it seemed that Izzy and Serina were doing well enough working out their situation, Angelo instead followed Adrian. He jogged in the younger man's direction, eventually catching up. He put a hand on Adrian's shoulder, gripping it tightly. It was made clear that he wasn't about to leave his little brother to wallow in despair alone.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: red">Hey, hey,</span>" he said calmingly, "<span style="color: red">Don't let something like this get to you, my brother.</span>" He stopped the both of them and stepped in front of Adrian to hold both of his shoulders, looking into Adrian's eyes with his own warm, reddish brown ones. His expression told that Angelo was going to be there for him, stick with him until the end.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: red">You need to think of us as a family, Adrian,</span>" he continued, trying to keep his voice supportive and, for the most part, succeeding. It was obvious that Angelo was not happy, but looked able to bear it. "<span style="color: red">All that being romantic will do is cause problems with everyone else. Look at what Izzy is going through.</span>" He motioned in her direction. "<span style="color: red">The only thing that her love life has done is made trouble for all involved, and I can't deal with the sadness that comes along with it.</span>"<br/><br/>Angelo stood tall, letting his hands fall from Adrian's shoulders. "<span style="color: red">Learn from this, and let yourself grow. I don't expect you to all of a sudden be perky, but you need to strengthen your heart, my friend. <i>My brother</i>.</span>"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
