He laughed a bit when he talked about how none of their siblings ever hit him and he shook his head at that. “Aw, but you were our little brat. I mean, to be fair, I’m pretty Hell came close to taking you out. But that’s nothing new with her,” he said with a grin, thinking of Helene. “And anyways, teenagers are going to act like assholes. It’s kind of what they do. I know I was pretty dramatic for most of my teenage years,” he admitted with a small shrug, finishing up with the cutting and starting to clean up the small mess he made. Hearing about what could have happened to Korbin, he sighed through his nose as he glanced over towards him. “You never know. But thankfully, Helene was so suspicious of her,” he said, knowing that Korbin had said before that the condom incident was the turning point for him. “And the good news is that none of that stuff happened. It’s only going to get better from here on out,” he said encouragingly, smiling at Korbin again. Hearing his question, the smile slowly faded off of his face as he sighed once more. It had happened a few years ago already, but it never really seemed to leave him completely. “I just had to keep reminding myself that none of what happened was my fault. That it was only his fault and that I was the victim,” he said, looking to Korbin, knowing that his brother had spent so much time and energy blaming himself. “It’s so important that you keep reminding yourself of that, adelfos. Honestly. Once you keep that in mind, it changes your whole mind set. It makes it easier to heal and move on,” he told him seriously, meeting his gaze as he left his cooking alone for now. “Being around family obviously helped, too. Being around people who cared about me and helped me keep my mind distracted worked wonders.”

Hearing Kelian’s words, Korbin chewed at his bottom lip roughly before looking over to him. It was his tone of voice, the way he stood, and how his demeanor changed that had Korbin moving over to him slowly. Wrapping his arms around his older brother, he hugged him tight. It killed Korbin when Kelian was brought back due to what happened to him. If Korbin had his way, he would’ve driven down to California and kicked that guy’s asshole. “S 'agapó, aderfí.” He whispered to him, kissing his cheek roughly before pulling his head back. “I need to find a new hobby. Mind helping me find one? I need something that’ll keep my mind off of it.”

“You’re the lucky one, since you’ll probably get some when you go out and see YiaYia and Pappous. And that would be the original source of it, too,” he said, his tone of voice showing just how much having the lamb their grandparents made was amazing. Their dad made it extremely well, but there was always something different about it when they had it in Greece. “To be fair, we’ve all acted a lot like him at times,” he said, remembering all the times they’ve heard their mother say that they all took after their dad. Cutting up the rest of his burger toppings, he looked over to Korbin as he started talking again. “I know it must be hard for you, Kor. But I’m so happy to see you trying. You’re a strong guy and you’ve got all of us standing with you during this,” he said, giving his brother a warm smile.

“That’s true. I probably will.” He said, smirking to show he was more than glad to go out and see his grandparents. Though, because of what happened, it slightly tainted the fun of it all. But, to be fair, he was going to be thousands of miles away from her, so that helped plenty. “It’s true, we have acted a lot like him, especially my stupid ass when I was a teenager. Seriously, why didn’t any of you actually hit across the face? I was an asshole.” Shaking his head, he started to wilt the spinach with butter and pepper in the pan. Though, as he listened to Kelian talk about how he had his family, Korbin nodded and sighed. “I know I got you guys. It’s what’s keeping me so positive. I mean, she could’ve fucking killed me or I could’ve been oblivious to the condom thing. It’s just hard. I got used to thinking I was the idiot, that I was the complete asshole and I deserved what she was doing. It’s a huge one-eighty right now.” Nipping his bottom lip and looking to Kelian, he sighed and let a serious look show on his face. “How did you cope? I know it’s not the same situation, but it’s the same feelings, same emotional torture. How’d you get through...y’know...?”

“Lamb’s different; you know that. And you call yourself Greek” he said with a roll of his eyes, giving his brother a playful scoff. He closed the fridge, looking to Korbin as his brother started talking about Greek places. “There’s a few places actually. Bampas told me about a couple of them and Helene and I found one when we were out awhile back,” he said, setting the veggies on the counter and sorting through them. Setting the bag of spinach aside, he gestured towards it so Korbin knew there was some available for his burger. “‘Fuckin’ decent’? Oh my God, you’re like a min-Bampas,” he said with a laugh, shaking his head as he pulled out some Romain lettuce and tearing it into smaller pieces.

“Hey, it’s still red meat. But shit that sounds good. We need to have that soon.” Nipping his bottom, he picked up the spinach and slipped the burgers into the microwave. He took out some of the spinach and bit down harder on his bottom lip as he turned on the water to rinse the spinach. “I might be, you all say I am.” He said with a smirk as he finished rinsing off the greens he had, letting his lip go as he moved to get a pan out so he could cook the spinach. “You know, it’s still hard to do some things, but I’m forcing myself to do them. But being here is making it easier since you’re here.”

“Hey, they’re easier to make like that. I don’t eat a lot of red meat, but sometimes Stephen wants a burger,” he said with a shrug, knowing that he and Stefan were sometimes too busy to go all out on making a meal. “But, that does sound kinda good. Yeah, make me one, too,” he said, hip bumping his brother out of the way of the fridge since he had already grabbed the hamburger patties. Pulling out lettuce, tomatoes, and a few other fresh veggies out, he looked to Korbin. “Are you going to have anything green on that burger?” he teased, smiling at his brother since he could see he was trying to keep his mood up.

“Why not? You eat lamb, that’s red meat. I should’ve had Bampas tell me where a good Greek place was around here. Unless you know? Or Helene? He probably recommended those places to you.” He said, scratching the back of his head. He knew his Bampas had gone to New York more than his siblings who were here now so he knew good places to eat. Feeling the bump to his hip, he laughed and bumped Kelian back before getting a plate and some paper towels so he could cook the meat. Though, as Kelian asked if he was going to eat anything green, he nipped his bottom lip and nodded. “Yeah, spinach if you got any. I had it on a burger and it was fuckin’ decent.”

“There’s nothing wrong with eating some greens now and then,” he said, joining Korbin in the kitchen and looking to the fridge. “But, we do have some microwavable hamburger patties in the freezer. The rest we have to thaw out.”

“Microwavable? Seriously?” Sighing softly and opening the freezer, he pulled them out and opened the package. “You want one? You can make it mostly vegetables since you love them so much.” Smirking faintly, he tried to keep some sort of his joking aspects alive despite everything that was going on.

Digging in Kelian’s fridge, he sighed and tried to find something to eat. “I love you, adelfos, but why is there so many vegetables? Where’s the meat?”
