Quinn seemed to favour the idea of avoiding everyone at all times no matter what. During break, he insisted the two sit out the back of the building - Not that Adriel minded the cold because he's always on fire inside but sitting outside staring at literally nothing but plants was boring.

The bell rang for lunch and a few people left the room possibly to go to either the cafeteria or a nearby vending machine. Quinn stood and was about to grab his bag when Adriel pushed him back down so he's sat against the wall, the demons hand rested on top of the teen's head, he looks at Adriel and he can tell a few others are looking too by the worry that's spreading throughout him "You went somewhere private and secluded because you didn't like how people treated you. Now, you've got me. So you don't need to leave." Adriel murmurs quietly, his eyes moving down to the desk, Adriel removes his hand from Quinn's head.

You could tell he was scared. And he had every right to be. People didn't care whether he knew if they was staring or not. And a majority of them are. Why should he have to give up warmth, comfort and company just because they think he's a tad bit on the unique end. The staring was becoming quite annoying though.

Adriel Looking around with animosity flowing around in his eyes like a temperamental sea of lava, people turn as soon as his eyes meet with theirs. Sighing in triumph when all eyes are diverted Adriel looks back to Quinn who's looking at him - unamused "Is that what your going to do now? Stand by me and death glare anyone who looks at me?" He asks, Adriel shrugging, he raises his hands "What can I say, I'm like a human force field." He chuckles mockingly, immediately laughing when he punches him, the action itself not hurting whatsoever "So are you always this annoying?" He asks as he rummages through the packed lunch he clearly made for himself "Rude. I am not annoying, I'm quirky." He hums, Quinn's brows furrowing "Your annoying." Adriel Smiling at his response, he leans back "Well, I have siblings, so being annoying is kind of my job." Adriel responds honestly, Quinn moving so his arms are folded over my chest "How many?" He asks "Three, two younger brothers and a younger sister." Smiling when he exhales "Same for me. Except I have two older sisters and one older brother." He mumbles "Being the youngest isn't always bad. I'm the eldest and everyone's looking at me like I'm going to be the next big thing. My dads shoes are huge - he's done a lot for my realm." Adriel says honestly, Adriel watching him nod Quinn shrugs and looks down "Perspectives." Is all he replies with.

Adriel followed quietly behind Quinn as they neared the exit, Adriel stops as the three from this morning and a few others step in front of Quinn, worry spreading across the smaller male's face "So, what's with you and this guy?" The taller Male of the group asks, his green varsity letterman sporting the words 'Zack' on the back, Quinn clearly searching for answers, Adriel clears his throat "Does there have to be something. He's my friend." He interjects CD, a few chuckles amongst the group "Harlequin Byers has a friend. Yeah, right. He's your slave isn't he." An athletic Male scoffs, immediately causing Adriel to scowl, he looks to Quinn briefly before returning his gaze to the group "I don't know what it is about you guys and needing to have someone to do all their shit. It's pathetic, honestly. Get some backbone." He laughs pitifully, one of the jocks going to grab his shirt, Adriel grabs his wrist within seconds, pressing his hand into the middle of his back, He holds him against the lockers, the jocks face pressed to the metal whilst his group goes to intervene but stop when Adriel shoots a glare at them "see ya, tomorrow. You cliche twats." He chirps before petting the furious subbed jocks face, letting go of him and turning back to a shocked Quinn.

Adriel sat happily on his car around the back of his house, Occasionally looking to Quinn who's staring at the trees. His eyes held sadness, Though he didn't bare a frown - his facial features remained completely nonchalant, with the exception of his eyes. Sitting forward, Adriel leant on to his left knee "So who were they?" He asks in a more softer tone, Quinn's hazel eyes migrating over to the demon "Zack is my brother. He's the eldest. The two girls are my sisters, Jasmine and Samantha. They're identical." He responds, nodding Adriel looks down at the matte grey paint on his wonderful car "I didn't mean to be rude towards your siblings." He state after a moment of hesitation, Quinn releasing a laugh pitifully whilst shaking his head "Why would I care. It's not as if they've been caring, gentle siblings. They hate being associated with me." He responds.

'Humans confused me. We obviously had underdogs over in the demon realm but not to this extent. We still respected them. Over here, Humans just blatantly disrespect each other consistently and for no apparent reason.' Was all that Adriel could think about right now, his eyes still focused on a depressed looking Quinn.

Turning to Quinn, he looks to Adriel and jolts "Sajak, What the hell?!" He freaks, cocking an eyebrow The prince tilts his head as He looks around "What? What's wrong?" He asks honestly, watching as Quinn points to his eyes He looks into the wing mirror, his bloody red iris' glowing "Ah dammit." He sighs, Quinn leaning forward with a confused look "My father is summoning me. This shouldn't take long, don't worry I'll be back before tomorrow." He explains, a look of excitement spreading across Quinn's face, He immediately raises his hand "Not a chance. Get some sleep, Harlequin." He laughs before slamming his right foot down on the ground and vanishing in a cloud of dark scarlet flames.
