Ellis shuddered a little bit, still snuggled close.

Lloyd gently kissed Ellis's cheek again and nuzzled against him to try and make him feel safer. "I'm sorry this happened to you… I'll try to get both of them arrested."

Ellis let out a breath, clinging to Lloyd. "Thank you…" He whispered.

"Of course, El… I'll stay here as long as you want me to."

Ellis shuddered a little, a sob leaving his throat

"Shh… you're gonna be okay… we'll get through this…"

He let out a shaky sob, looking up at Lloyd with teary eyes. "I-I'm sorry for causing all th-this trouble…" He whispered.

"Hey, hey… don't apologize, El. Don't blame yourself for any of this. This is not at all your fault, okay?"

"B-but if…I…" He sniffled. "If I-I had f-fought ha-harder, o-or…"

"Shh… it's not your fault. It's Anton's fault. Don't blame yourself, El."

He let out a quiet sob.

"I'll have another conversation with my father later to see if I can get Anton and Drew arrested, okay?"

(Gtg bye!)

"Okay…" he whispered.

(Bye)
Lloyd held Ellis close, running his fingers through his hair gently in an attempt to calm him. "I want things to be better for you here."

Ellis swallowed softly, letting out a shaky breath as he tried to calm down. "Thank you…"

"Of course, Ellis…" Lloyd fell silent, just holding Ellis close to soothe him.

Ellis sniffled a little, eventually calming down, though he still clung to Lloyd.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Lloyd asked gently, still running his fingers through Ellis's hair.

He shrugged a little bit. "I-I don't know…"

Lloyd nodded and pulled Ellis a bit closer. "I want you to feel safe here…"

He looked up at him. "I…I do." he replied softly.

"That's good… if you ever don't, come find me and let me know. I'll see to it right away."

Ellis nodded a little bit. "Okay. Thank you."

"No problem. Like I said, your safety and happiness are my top priority."

He swallowed softly, and nodded. "Thank you."

Lloyd nodded a bit and cuddled closer to Ellis. He buried his face in the other's neck again.

Ellis clung to Lloyd, letting out a shaky breath again.

Lloyd held him securely, occasionally nuzzling against his cheek.

(not gonna be too active. Got in a fight with my siblings and we're all in trouble)

Ellis held onto Lloyd quietly.

(Okay)
"Do you need anything, El?" Lloyd asked.
