Noah still didn't know how to feel about this whole Colby+Blaine thing, other than somewhat confused and maybe perhaps just a little bit jealous. But he had more than his fair share of shitty drama at the moment, so that didn't really matter. It was whatever. As far as he was concerned, the three of them were still his best friends, even if things were weird right now. He tagged along after Colby, determined to be cheerful.

"Blainey," he greeted him, wrapping an arm around him and giving him a quick squeeze while Colby was preoccupied with Ben. "How was California? How'd you convince yourself to come back?"
