[ Aaron frowns and his throat is tight at the words that Andrew says. It's not just the refusal to try to make him understand but then the subsequent retelling and more. He can still see it, he always sees it. But he still knows that it was worse for Andrew. Would Aaron have fought back? He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything.
All he knows is that he's angry at Andrew by the time the other stands up. He digs his nails into the burn on his hand letting the pain cut through the worst of it, keep his mind clear, keep the emotions from boiling over, keep his throat from getting tight or his eyes from watering up.
Aaron's the weak one. How could Andrew think that he's weak? ]
You can't or you won't? [ It hurts and maybe he's being selfish and blind but it once again feels like Andrew doesn't want him or doesn't need him. ]
I never thought you were weak. I just wished I could have taken your place. [ Aaron's not interested in talking more either and he pushes himself up, heading for the exit so he could get away, anywhere but there because Andrew doesn't want him there anyway, right? Aaron had been a burden since they learned about each other, since the womb. Everything that had happened to Andrew had been Aaron's fault. ]
