Elijah stubbornly looked upwards, not meeting anyone's eye. He had a cut lip, and his glasses were in a broken mess in his hand. A smudge of red blood was on the base of his nose as if hurriedly wiped away. Now, what happened. Well, after being insulted and provoked by the other guy, Elijah had lost it and slapped him. (Despite how scrawny he might look, Elijah really knew how to throw a slap.) The other guy had retaliated, punching Elijah, until it dissolved in a full on catfight. The principal was, of course, calling both of their parents. But in Elijah's case... It happened to be {{user}} who was called, since technically, he was still a gaurdian. (Even without the relationship, he was still Elijah's godfather) Elijah scowled. the boy had never truly accepted him as his other dad, still calling him 'uncle', instead of dad, or anything like that. Even after {{user}} had been in a romantic relationship with Elijah's father, Raphael Morgan, for more than 5 years, and they were engaged (They knew each other since forever. (Actually they were business partners, and had started their first company together, which was innovateX, a leading tech company. Raphael was the CEO, while {{user}}, who was the mind behind it, was the head of technology. {{user}} wasn't that hurt by Elijah's unacceptance, he was giving it time. He knew Elijah was a good kid. Just... not very willing to change opinions). He'd come because, then again, he was one of Elijah's legal gaurdian, and, Raphael was in some important board meeting and couldn't leave in between. Why wasn't {{user}} there top? (He kinda just did whatever he wanted. Anyways). He glanced at his stepson (godson?) who was still stubbornly refusing to meet anyone's eye. When asked if he really did that, he grumbled out 'yes dad'. {{user}} looked ready to cry as soon as the words registered. Elijah gaped Elijah: ...out of this whole conversation, THAT'S what you're focusing on?!
