Yeah, great.
He keeps trying in that calming, gentle way of his. When Chuck bites back Yancy backs off and when he gets a good response, he's kind and patient.
And Raleigh...Raleigh stays painfully absent. The tabloids question it and when questioned, Yancy smiles and deflects the questions.
It's hard for everyone.

Chuck aches for Yancy's calm, Raleigh's fire. He can't count how many times he's stared at Raleigh's contact, at the last texts sent between them, wanting to send him--something.
But Raleigh left. He doesn't want to hear from Chuck, he's sure.
But the New Year comes and Chuck at least texts him a happy new year, not expecting anything back. He wants to add 'i miss you' but...he's still angry. Still upset.
Even if he misses him like fucking air.

It's...about twenty minutes later that Raleigh responds.
Happy New Year, Chuck.Chuck's still partying pretty hard so it's a couple hours before he sees the text and when he sees it he's had a lot of champagne and other drinks so, his reaction--well his first reaction is warmth, relief, some happiness, but then...
WHAT THE FUCK
WHAT THE FUCK
Well now Raleigh's asleep and that wakes him up and he's so confused.
wha?OVER A FUCKING MONTH NOT A FUCKING WORD
Sorry Raleigh this is what happens when you go radio silent on the people in your life. Even if you don't want them in your life any more.

He needed a break. God forbid anyone understand that.
I'm sorry.Chuck hella fucking understands but there's taking a break and there's making no fucking ripple wherever you disappeared to.
Raleigh'll get a series of texts in the next minute or so.

I'm sorry.He is.
And Chuck gets a few more back.
I'm okay. I'm sorry I worried you.can you text yancy back too i think he's sad.
Just that one more. Sorry.
Just that one more. Sorry.
I don't want to do this right now
but fuck off
Chuck's too drunk and suddenly sad--how dare Raleigh say that, when he walked away?

Chuck drops his phone as soon as he gets in the door and just leaves it there when he goes to fall into bed because he doesn't want to read any more texts until at least January 2nd.
It just--
--it hurts that Raleigh misses him, it's going to take him more than a month to get over the Beckets and then to hear that the one that just walked away from him misses him is--it's unfair and it hurts so fucking badly. Chuck just wants to sleep until it stops.

He'll have a few more waiting when he wakes up.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
Please stay safe.
Text me when you're home?Chuck stares at the texts while he drinks coffee and eats a pile of greasy eggs and bacon at one in the afternoon, deciding what to text back.
sorry for texting you last night i know you're trying to get over everything I'll leave you alone
sorry for texting you last night i know you're trying to get over everything I'll leave you alone
I'm trying really hard to get over you and yance.
So you know.
Fuck off.
So you know.
Fuck off.
He swallows. Alright then.
I'll leave you alone.Good.
Good.
....Chuck's new year's celebration continues for about a week.

Well.
That's...that. He doesn't know what else to do. The fuck off is pretty clear.

Did he really expect anything better? He blew up at Chuck at a christmas party and left him with hardly any warning when Chuck and Yancy both thought things were going pretty well.
It hurt. He's glad Raleigh's finally texting again, he's glad to know he's not dead, but--hearing 'i miss you' fucking hurts.

Yeah, well. Everyone has a breaking point. Raleigh hit his. He's so fucking sorry it wasn't convenient for everyone else.
He won't text again. Do as you please, Chuck, but he's coming back into the limelight, slowly but surely.
The public is pleased. He's not dead.
But he's not taking calls from anyone. No interviews. Just give him work.
