OLIVER
Loren was very obviously not used to this sort of affection, especially seeing as he assumed anyone who showed any sort of kindness towards him had a crush on him...and that honestly broke Oliver's heart. Had Loren never received platonic affection? Someone who cares for him deeply, but not in a romantic sense? Loren would simply go on to ramble, and Oliver would allow him to say whatever he wanted.
A lot of new things would be revealed, things that Oliver appreciated hearing. Knowing that Loren at least semi-trusted him enough to reveal a piece of his dark past was something he would cherish and keep safe. He wouldn't abuse this sort of trust, rather, he would keep the secrets close to him for his knowledge only. That didn't mean he necessarily agreed with the assumptions Loren chose to make.
Loren... I am sorry that your brothers were unkind to you, but that doesn't mean you're a bad person. You did what you had to do...you had to protect yourself and you didn't deserve to have a shitty family. Already off to a fantastic start. You deserve a proper family. You deserve to feel happy and to have a family member you can talk to and feel safe with and know that they care for you deeply...and if you'd trust me to do that, then I'd love to be a brother to you. What your brothers did does not define who you are, Loren.
