STARTER FOR: @ryderxaeron
LOCATION: The Harris House.
SETTING: Afternoon.
The situation with Adrian and his sobriety was a tricky one. In truth, Oliver doesn’t mean to keep it to himself in the way that he does. With work, studying for his degree, aiding his husband out of a depressive episode, and figuring out how to adopt again, Oliver was spread pretty thin. And while he’ll always worry for Adrian and do what he can to help him, sometimes he was unsure what to do or how to help in the first place.
Another thing, Oliver isn’t even aware that Ryder was unaware. He only assumed he might have an idea about what’s going on with his own partner. Shouldn’t he? He wasn’t sure. Though Oliver just wants to be sure and he wants to check up on his friend, as well, just to make sure everything was okay. Especially after this storm. Not to mention Ryder and Oliver’s last interaction earned a pang of concern to pool through Oliver.
“Hey,” Oliver says once Ryder comes into view, walking up to where he’s sitting. There’s a small smile gracing his expression before he speaks, “If you’re not busy, I was wondering if we could talk?”
