"The room, maybe. To get some air because you drive me nuts."
Come on Chuck. You need to lay down.
Chuck's going to be incredibly insecure for a while, Raleigh, you're going to have to be able to handle that because he hates feeling vulnerable and it comes out a little viciously.
He leans on him. "Shower first." He's gross. He smells like hospital.
He does. Antiseptic and bleach and hospital.
He reroutes them to the bathroom, Yancy trailing along behind.
"Shower or bath?"
"Shower." He just wants to feel sluiced clean, not comforted. "I've got it from here," he suggests, leaning on the doorjamb. "If you guys wanna get settled or something."
Why not both?
Raleigh fidgets.
"Sure. Where do you want us to wait for you..?"
"Wherever you want?" Chuck bites back the unkind comment that it's not him they need to worry about. "I just want to wash, you guys...I don't know, eat. Make out. You're staying here, if you both want, just...consider it home."
Treat it as such.
But a home you respect.
"Are you hungry?"
Yancy leans in behind Raleigh.
"We can order something. Have it waiting."
"There might be something in the fridge, but if you can't find anything yeah, Indian."
Which will work out so well with a tender stomach but he needs something more interesting than pizza.
He leans in to kiss them both on the cheek. Raleigh first, then Yancy.
"Indian it is."
Raleigh smiles at him, thumbs his cheek before backing up. He can handle getting Indian delivered. He's got this.
Good, he figured he'd be happy getting kissed first.
....They really need to go over stuff. Maybe after food. Things that set Raleigh off, what they can do to sop him being upset.
But first, Chuck takes a luxurious shower in his luxurious shower that turn people shower-sexual. Nevermind boys he's marrying the shower.
They would totally understand if he married the shower.
Meanwhile, they're downstairs and ordering dinner and getting it set up while they wait. They're quietly talking, and maybe Yancy sneaks a kiss or two. He's missed you, Rals.
Chuck comes down in his softest pajama pants and most comfortable sleepy shirt, making no sound as he walks barefoot.
He sees Yancy sneaking a kiss and leans against the cabinet, smiling faintly.
It's an emotional moment. Raleigh looks like he's been crying and Yancy's eyes are red. They quiet when Chuck comes in, and Raleigh moves first.
"Feel better?"
"A little. Do you guys need some time alone?" Or with Chuck present but silent? He can do present but silent.
He reaches for Raleigh when he comes to him, just curling his fingers in his shirt and tethering him close.
Raleigh wraps him right up.
"It's okay. Don't go anywhere."
He goes ahead and tucks his face against Raleigh's shoulder, breathing him in slowly.
"...Did you get saag?" he mumbles into his shirt.
"Yeah babe," he says, pushing his nose into Chuck's hair.
"Course we did."
"You're a point towards being fully forgiven." He wraps his arms around Raleigh's waist and gestures for Yancy to join them.
Come hug your boyfriends, idiot.
He chuckles and grips him tighter, ducking his head and stifling a sob when he feels Yancy come and wrap them both up.
What is he going to do with you?
Lots and lots of sex eventually, hopefully. Yes? Yes.
"Do you guys wanna keep kissing because I'm okay with that," he mumbles into Raleigh's shoulder some more. It's not like he hasn't noticed what's between them, he's just never felt like it was his place to say something, didn't want to step wrong.
Hopefully yes.
And they love each other. Chuck wasn't wrong when he accused Raleigh of being in love with Yancy.
"Mm. Maybe later. We should eat this while it's hot.." Yancy is sort of mumbling.
It wasn't so much an accusation as....wanting confirmation. If it was accusation, it was to make him feel bad for leaving two people he's in love with.
He does pull away from the both of them, then, making a beeline for the food.
"Do you want to talk about it while we eat, then?"
Yancy lets go so they can fix plates and get comfortable.
"Where do you wanna start?" Raleigh asks.
Might as well.
"I mean--you two are in love with each other too, right?" That--he's taking a risk bringing it up but he's also so tired and he's really fucking sick of all the lies and hiding feelings.
"Because I want all of this to work, not just the V." They need to stop pretending to be a V and start being a triangle.
Raleigh's cheeks burn, but Yancy just nods.
"Yeah. Not conventional but..we had a strange childhood that pushed us together more than most and it just..happened."
