Summary: Craig visits Jamie like he said he would.

Craig was a bit nervous about walking into Jamie's and Dylan's suite, well more the walk in the hallway. He still wasn't really in the mood to talk to Sirius. It wasn't so much he was upset with the other man, more that he wanted to withdraw and give himself some breathing room. There was no need to get feelings towards someone who did just want to shag.

And it'd be easy for Craig to fall for Sirius, he already had started. Luckily he wasn't in too deep. Though likely Jamie and Dylan would say he was since he had taken the first steps. Would be easier if he wasn't such a good kisser.

Still he had more important things to worry about right now. Jamie and Dylan being those two things.

Though he was sure Jamie would be, well maybe not relieved, who knew what the reaction would be, about Craig having a date the next night. It should be a good distraction at least. Though he had told the bloke that he might need to cancel, a family emergency was going on and he could get called away. Jamie and Dylan were more important than a date. They were more important than anything right now.

Opening the door Craig saw Jamie in the living room and offered him a smile, "So you sick of me yet? Where's Dylan?"

"No, not sick of you, yet, but getting there," he said with a smile that he didn't feel. The latest attack had left him raw and he wasn't feeling well himself.

"He's... he's in his room. He had an attack, it's like the crutiatus, and he's resting," James explained, before nodding to the couch where he was. "Come on, grab a seat, and talk to me for a while. You can go and see him later if you want, but you got to check with Nott. He wants him to rest."

Craig chuckled but then noticed Jamie's smile, and how it didn't really seem right.

And then he stopped breathing for a second, already turned towards Dylan's room when he said he needed Nott's permission to see him. "Don't care what the damn healer says seeing him before I leave." Craig told Jamie before moving to join him, laying on the couch with his head in Jamie's lap.

"He's okay for right now though right? You haven't experienced any pain like that?" Merlin all his earlier thoughts seemed so inane now.

"Okay," he said, not wanting to upset Craig anymore than he already was. "I'm sure he'll be better than soon enough. You can stay here until then, just... for once, let's listen to him. Dylan needs some quiet."

James nodded. "He'll be fine. The potions will make sure that he can rest and there's no nerve damage." He shook his head. "No, not yet," he said, trying to keep his smile on. "I'm the special one. I get everything later." He brushed Craig's hair, smiling a little more. "You okay?"

Craig was even more suprised when Jamie said they should listen to the healer, "You saying that more than anything else tells me how bad it was." Craig said softly, beginning to feel even more frightened for his friends.

Chuckling softly Craig smiled as Jamie brushed his hair, "Always have to be the special one don't you?" He teased, knowing from anyone else that type of teasing would end in a hex, but then again he was special too. "Course I am." Craig told Jamie, knowing he was likely referencing Sirius, "Given everything I'm the one whose the most okay."

"It wasn't pretty," he said, trying not to scare Craig, but he should know. "You know I'm not the most cautious, but this was bad and it could have been worse... it is worse. I've seen it with Allison, but seeing Dylan- He's Dylan, you know?"

James smiled. "Of course, you wouldn't know what to do without me around." He sighed. "Yes, I know, but after last time- I wasn't sure if you ever got around to talk to Sirius, fix things there."

Nodding Craig sighed, "I know." Or well as much as he could given it was Dylan, he hadn't seen Allison in the middle of an attack either. Merlin he hated this, and it wasn't like he could vent to Jamie either. "I'd say its all going to be okay but I think you've heard enough of that." He offered instead, trying to get a small smile. Merlin he needed them to be okay though.

"Exactly," Craig admitted, feeling guilty for feeling like he almost had it worse than them. Though in the long run if they died he was pretty sure he would.

He then sighed when Jamie brought Sirius up again. "No I didn't." He told him, "Didn't seem much to say that wouldn't end with me sounding like a whiny brat. He's shagging someone, yea I'll admit he caught my interest but I already told you I'd rather know that before I feel in too deep. Figured I was better off just giving myself space and getting my head together." He looked up at Jamie, shrugging again, "Besides given everything we knew about him I should of known that. Don't really see the point in talking about it more, would rather not actually."

James chuckled. "Not so strangely, people are starting to admit that we might die. Might, you understand, not will." He took a deep breath, because seeing Dylan like that had been more upsetting than being sick. "It's scaring them more than it's scaring us, I think."

He squeezed Craig's arm. "If it makes it better, I'll try to be around for a while. Now that people are starting to give up, I have to get better just to prove them wrong, right?"

Craig was giving him the perfect way out, he could stay quiet and not be blamed, but he knew that it didn't work like that with Craig or Dylan. "There's something you should know, and after that, we don't have to talk about it." Craig might decide to punch him instead. "You can't say a word to anyone, but the guy he's fucking- it's me, and I swear I had no idea that you were interested when it happened or I would never..."

Craig nodded as Jamie spoke, "I can understand that." He said softly, hell he was one of the ones more scared. "I almost hate myself for thinking the might." He said softly. "Doesn't seem right to think that way." Especially since he still couldn't imagine not having Jamie and Dylan around.

Nodding Craig's smile became a bit less forced, "Yes. Be your annoying, pratty, stubborn self just to prove them wrong." Hell he'd loved that. Loved to have Jamie and Dylan laughing at him for being so worried. He'd gladly take all the teasing and jokes and comments.

Craig raised an eyebrow when Jamie said there was something he should know, his tone telling him to listen even though he started to say he didn't care.

When the words sunk in though he froze for a second, tensing up before sitting up then moving off the couch to stand in front of Jamie. "Why are you telling me this? " Craig asked him, wishing he didn't know this. It had been different, not knowing who it was. This was worse.

He believed Jamie though, when he said he hadn't known. He couldn't really fault Jamie that. "Are you still?" Though he wasn't sure he really wanted the answer to that either.

"It's all right, Craig. We've always known it was a possibility, a probability even. We're living with this. It's everyone else who feels guilty for thinking it, but it's really okay," he said.

"I'll try. How's that? I've offered to be Snape's guinea pig. He returned, I don't know when but he was here this morning. We'll find something just to spite everyone," he said, trying to convince Craig more than himself.

James tensed when Craig got up, but didn't move. Instead he looked up at Craig, meeting his gaze. "Because I thought you deserve the truth, because I didn't want you to find out from someone else, and no I'm not planning on saying anything, but secrets come out. I've learnt that recently. I didn't want to be a coward and keep this from you."

He took a deep breath and then nodded. "He doesn't want a relationship. If I thought he did, I'd back off, but he's a shag them and leave them kind of bloke."

No, it wasn't alright. Jamie saying it was almost made it worst. "I don't want your blessing for being willing to admit you might die." Craig told him, "Hell I'd rather you scream and bitch at me. Your blessing makes it sound like you've accepted it, you can't accept that. None of us can." Because accepting the possibility gave a better chance to it happening.

Nodding Craig said, "Damn well better," He told him, quirking his lips when Jamie said he offered to be Snape's guinea pig, "Bet he'll love that." He then nodded, "Won't forgive you if you don't." He told him.

Sighing Craig ran a hand through his hair as he moved to sit down in a chair away from Jamie not looking at him. "I almost wish you hadn't," He told Jamie, his gaze still focused away from him, "But you're right, its better finding out from you than someone else."

He saw Jamie nod out of the corner of his eye, and the words hurt him, yes, but.

Sirius wasn't important here. Jamie was. Jamie and Dylan were. Standing Craig moved back to the couch and laid his head back in Jamie's lap. "Doesn't matter." He told him softly, "Merlin right now nothing matters except making sure you and Dylan make it through this. Everything else can wait."

"I've accepted the possibility, Craig. I'm not stupid, and denying the obvious isn't going to make me better. I knew that weeks ago," James said. "Why do you think I was willing to go to Voldemort? I know I'm dying, and they still haven't found a cure."

"I'll still do everything that needs to be done, take all the potions they want me to, be subject to every spell. Even if I wouldn't do it for myself, I'd do it for Dylan, Scorpius and Allison. They are suffering because of me," he admitted.

"You would find out, and-" James ran his fingers through his hair, smiling surprised when Craig moved back on the couch. "We're not... I mean neither one of us wants a relationship, and you know we wouldn't be able to even if we wanted, because my Dad would go nuts. I guess what I'm saying is that it's just sex." They were friends, too, and James hoped that it would survive the lack of sex, but Craig was more important. "I'll stop if you want."

Craig sighed, "I really wish in this case you were. And that I could still get mad at you over that." He looked up at Jamie, "Hell I had the same thought after you mentioned, trying to trade my life for yours and Dylan's, or offer him, well anything." He closed his eyes, "Knew I didn't have anything he'd want though. Not after getting to you and Dylan." It hadn't been an easy thing to accept.

"They're suffering because Voldemort is fucking insane." Craig told him firmly, "We can agree on pretty much everything else in this situation but about this I'm right and you're going to fucking agree with me." Craig told him, knowing if nothing else maybe the guilt right now would get Jamie to pretend to agree. "It could have just as easily been me instead of Scorpius if I had been there, and you wouldn't have kept me away either. Voldemort started this, blame him, not you."

Craig offered up Jamie a half smile when he played with his hair, glad at least to see his friend smile, though it was hard to maintain. "You know I've never been able to understand that," he said sighing again, "Why I've always been the girl of the group." He looked back up at Jamie, "Do I want you to? Sure, a part of me does. But I can't ask you too. That's not really fair either is it?" None of this situation was. "I can see you just wanted to protect me, not a complete fool."

He paused as something else occurred to him, "You didn't tell Sirius I was interested did you?" He might have to hex him for that if he had.

"You can yell me when I get better, how's that?" he offered with a smile. "Not many people have what he wants, Craig. He wants me, my family. I'm the only one that could do it. I know everyone thinks I'm insane, but you understand why I'd do it."

James snorted. "There is that, of course, but his insanity is fixated on the Potters. So yes, I blame him, but I also blame myself. If I hadn't said anything to Dylan and Scorpius, they wouldn't have been with me, and they'd be fine. I really thought it was the werewolves, and I figured that two more Aurors could be helpful. If I though for a second that it was him, I wouldn't have allowed them to come."

He smiled. "Because you're the nice one," James answered. "Maybe you'll be happier than us. I don't know. I just find that relationships suck." He shrugged. "You're my friend. It has nothing to do with being fair. You want me to, then I do it. If I had known about you liking him or that date, I would have said something sooner. I didn't."

He bit his lip. "I might have said that he shouldn't flirt if he's not interested."

"Damn straight I will." Craig teased him, "Lots of things building up. You'll be wishing you were cursed again by the time I'm through," Craig told him, mostly joking. "I understand why you'd do it." Craig agreed, "But I think same goes for you as me where in the end it wouldn't help. Best way to the Potters is through one of them." He said with a sigh, Jamie didn't know it but Craig had had people try to get to Jamie through him before, he was pretty sure they had tried through Dylan as well.

"You didn't know," Craig told him, "And if Dylan or Scorpius had known for sure they wouldn't have let you go by yourself. Its kind of a cycle thing." Once which they could argue about for hours.

The nice one, of course. It didn't hurt though coming from Jamie. "Or I'll be even unhappier. One of the two." He nodded, "I've been there too." He then shrugged, "I don't think that even counts as a date Jamie, I wanted to but if he's as against relationships as you are it wasn't. Besides I know you wouldn't have if you had known, I can't really get mad over that." He looked up at Jamie, "I just want you to be happy, if shagging Sirius does that I can't ask you to stop." Even if he wanted too.

Craig groaned though when Jamie said that, "That I can get mad at you over though. You couldn't have just left that alone?" Merlin at least by just avoiding Sirius for a bit he could have saved some face.

"Sure, I'll make sure to find Voldemort again, just for that purpose," he joke. "Maybe it wouldn't help, and maybe I was being selfish, but I'd rather die doing something than die sitting here," he said.

"I know and I was stupid, but if I had known, I would have never told them," he said, grinning.

"Oy, you can always change your mind and just shag," he suggested. "Look at Dylan. He only cared about shagging and everything is fine. He decides he wants a relationship and he's miserable. Sex is so much more fun." James smiled. "Sirius is fun and the sex is great, but he's fun even without the sex."

He winced. "Well, you know, how was I supposed to know if he was interested in relationships? I would have broken off immediately if he'd said yes. I did send you to talk to him. It would have solved everything, but no, you refused to talk to him."

Craig's eyes narrowed, "Don't even joke." He told him seriously, one thing to say cursed, another to say go back to Voldemort. "I'd rather we just skip the you dying." Craig told him, "Besides given everything we know I don't think it'd be as simple as you giving yourself up." The selfish part was glad of that, he wanted Jamie and Dylan to make it through, not just one.

"Also not funny," Craig told him before chuckling as well. Though he did lean up to smack him across the back of his head before laying back down. "You deserved that," He told him with a grin.

Craig nodded, before a thought occurred to him and he chuckled, "Hell I think it'd make all three of our lives easier if some of those rumors in school were true. About us being in a threesome and just dating others to try and convince people we weren't. Gross but easier." He did have to nod and smile when Jamie said Sirius was fun even without the sex, "I can agree with that." He told him.

"I'm hexing you when you're uncursed." Craig told him with a pout. "That's not the point," He said waving a hand when Jamie said he'd tried to send him to talk to him. "Yea realizing that you're the bloke shagging him and you were telling me to go talk and see if I had a chance kind of makes my head hurt. And me think you're crazy." Craig told him.

"Hey, it's my job. Finding him might actually be a good thing." He didn't think it would happen any time soon, but one could hope. "Craig, please, no lecture. Really, I love you, mate, but not now. Today has been a long day."

James didn't even complain about the smack, but frowned when Craig talked about rumours. "Ewww, that's disgusting, and how the hell do you even know that there were those type of rumours. Really, who the fuck thought of that and why didn't anyone ever have the balls to tell me? I'd have hexed them to kingdom's come." In retrospect, that was why no one ever told him.

"All right, you can hex me," he said, without waiting. "I'm still not sure what the point is. You wanted something from Sirius, I didn't know if he wanted the same something, and if both of you wanted a relationship, I would have back out without even telling you. The fact that we're fucking isn't important."

"Not now," Craig agreed with a sigh. He doubted finding Voldemort would be a good thing. Unless he was killed right away. They needed a cure though so he likely wouldn't be. Merlin this was a mess. He smiled up at Jamie, "Love you too mate." He said seriously, taking Jamie's hand and squeezing it.

"That's why." Craig said with a chuckle, "Besides no one 'told' me either. I overheard a group of Hufflepuff girls giggling in the library about it being a waste and still being willing to be decoys." He made a face, "I was tempted to hex them but figured that would just make things worse."

Nodding when Jamie spoke Craig still thought he deserved a small hex. Maybe just a stinging one. "So is this a bad time to mention I had a date set up for tomorrow?" He asked after Jamie said him and Sirius shagging wasn't the important thing.

"Fine, I'll put in on my calendar, right after Christmas," he said with a snort. If they were alive after Christmas, but he didn't add that part.

"I guess, and you should have hexed them anyway, or you should have told me, so we could have come up with a plan to convince them and humiliate them at the same time. Really, do I have to explain everything," he said, not sure why they were debating something that happened years ago. Maybe it was just easier than facing the present.

James blinked. "You have a date set up for tomorrow with whom? Sirius? If you want to go, I told you I don't mind. As long as you understand what's going on, we're fine."

"Better make it after the new year," Craig said with a smile, "You know things will be busy till then." Hopefully, hopefully busy with good things, not funerals.

"It just would have made them think they were right." Craig told him shaking his head, "And yes obviously you do." He poked his side, "Thought you knew that by now, you're the leader you do all the explaining." It wasn't that hard to know that by now was it?

Shaking his head Craig said, "No, a bloke at the zoo. Henri, fairly new. Transferred from the Paris wizarding zoo I forget the name." Craig told him, "He asked and I figured it was a good way to distract myself. He seems nice enough. Not going now though."

He looked up at Jamie, "Why would you guess Sirius? I already said I was going to stay away, and if you're with him, even if it is just fucking you should know even more I would."

"Sure, we can have long term plans." It wasn't like they were dying or anything. "Yes, presents are always just hassle, and I won't even make jokes that I'd die if I could avoid it."

James snorted. "Now you remember. You couldn't have thought about it when we were in school and told me that little piece of news. It would have made things a lot more interesting."

He shrugged. "I don't know, you weren't talking about anyone else, so I assumed, and I told you we aren't serious, and yes, bad pun, but it's true."

Rolling his eyes Craig poked Jamie, "Like yours aren't." Craig tended to suck at thinking up presents, though every once in awhile he could come up with a good one. "You have to help me think of what to get Dylan." And of course he'd go to Dylan saying the same thing about James.

"Things were plenty interesting." Craig told him with a smile. "You just like hexing and being in charge."

Copying the shrug Craig said, "Hadn't been anything to talk about. He's new, we've talked a few times, seems nice, good looking. Today he asked me to dinner for tomorrow. Told him yes, but mentioned family emergency going on and I might have to postpone." He grinned up at James, "There all filled in. Happy?"

Sighing again Craig nodded, "Very bad pun. And even if its not serious I want more than casual, he doesn't. So I'll eventually go out with Henri and see if maybe something happens."

He rested his head on his hand, and sighed. "We'll take care of it." If they'd be alive on Christmas. "I'm sure we'll come up with something or more than one someone."

James snorted. "Of course, I do, but then no one else would have done it if I didn't step up to the plate."

He nodded, smiling. "Yes, I'm very happy. Mostly I'm happy for you, because I don't want to see you unhappy and Sirius... it was a bad idea, and I'm sorry, because I like both of you."

"Got plenty of time." Craig said with a smile. reaching up to tug Jamie's hair when he rested a hand in his hair. "We always do good with his gifts in the end."

"Dylan would have," Craig said offering Dylan up. "I was content to go along with you two." Which was true, it hadn't been often the pranks were his idea.

Craig nodded, "Well whenever I actually go on that date I'll fill you in and you can roll your eyes at me and tell me I should just fuck him and not bother with relationships." Craig teased him, knowing it would happen. "Never said liking Sirius was a good idea, or planned, just kind of happened. A good idea would be not talking about it." Craig told him, wondering why Jamie had to keep that part of the conversation going.

"Though I am proud I managed to trick him into betting against me in pool."

"Dylan would have got bored without me, but I'll let you leave with your delusions if you want," he said, grinning.

He nodded, smiling. "Sure, but you know, you could just put this in a pensieve. I tell you the same thing every time you do this, but you never listen to me. You'd be so much happier following what I tell you. Look at Dylan, he got into one relationship and he's miserable."

James groaned. "Can we stop with the collars now?" Or possibly any kinky reference about it.

"Well more like his delusions," Craig said with a chuckle.

"I've been happy in relationships too." Craig reminded him, even if it had been over a year since his last one and he hadn't been anywhere near happy when it ended. "And even that ending was more circumstances sucked than either of ours faults." His entire family moving to the states and him following had been the reason. One Craig had never been able to fault him for.

"The first time was an accident." Craig felt the need to remind him. "I was doing my job. You know we're not allowed to let animals wander the zoo." He nodded though, "And yes I planned on stopping." Any teasing like that with Sirius was done.

"Yeah, whatever works for you." He wished that it had worked for Dylan too, but maybe they were just programmed differently and they couldn't be happy in a relationship.

James chuckled. "Yes, I know, and he's been good wearing the second one and showing it to people." He brushed Craig's hair again, staring at him, and wondering if he should apologise again, even if he didn't know for what. "I hope this Henri is good to you."

Craig smiled up at Jamie, "Besides we both know if I suddenly switched to your tune you'd be demanding to know if I was me. Think I was an impostor or something." Smirking Craig added, "And I'll likely do the same before congratulating you if you switch to mine."

Shaking his head smiling Craig said, "Well good for him." Craig's eyes half shut as Jamie continued to play with his hair he shrugged when Jamie commented about Henri, "It's one date to get to know each other." He told him, "Though with you two getting worse I'm not even going to go tomorrow. We'll reschedule." He told him, being with his friends was more important.

"No, I'd say that you finally got smart, and learnt," he said grinning. Not that Craig would change, not if he hadn't changed by now.

"No, you should go, have fun, and then you can come back and tell us all about it." He tapped Craig's forehead. "Why don't you and talk to Dylan for a while? I'm sure he'll love some company that isn't me or Cass. I'm pretty sure he'll kill Cass otherwise."

Craig shook his head at Jamie, "You probably would," He told him though.

"You sure?" Craig then nodded, "Eventually." He teased him, "Maybe I should just refrain from all details till your well." Not that he would. Swatting at Jamie's hand Craig chuckled as he sat up, "I can take a hint you're sick of me and want to pawn me off on Dylan." He fake sighed, "I'm so hurt."

Leaning in Craig kissed Jamie's forehead, "You should go get some rest though. Fight this off as long as you can. I'll see you both soon." Craig told him before being a good boy and going to find Healer Nott for permission to see Dylan.

After getting the alright from Nott, including a lecture on not staying long, or wearing him out, and a few other things Craig had smiled, nodded, and given his best 'I'm the good one' look in response he had been given permission to visit.

Though Craig wouldn't be surprised if he was timed and after so long Nott showed up to kick him out. He'd behave though and leave if that happened.

So moving to Dylan's door he knocked softly before opening it and seeing Dylan lying on the bed and Cass sitting on the chair next to him. "Healer Nott said I could stop in quickly," He said hoping Cass wouldn't try and kick him out right away though he stayed in the doorway.

Dylan had never felt so drained in his life. He remembered Jamie's arms around him and falling asleep, then Nott coming back with more potions that tasted as vile as any potions and at some point Cass coming and Jamie leaving.

He would have preferred Jamie to stay but he was too tired to argue with Cass and he didn't want to keep Jamie from seeing Sirius or anyone else. When Craig arrived, he was half asleep, but he still sat up a bit when he saw his friend.

In the corner of his eye he saw Cass get up, as to help him or protest, but he shook his head. "I want him to stay, Cass," he said, receiving a reluctant nod. "Alone," he added, waiting until Cass had gone before he turned to Craig.

"Healer Nott? You really are too polite," he said with a tired smile. "Come, lie down, before I fall asleep."

Seeing Dylan sit up a bit Craig smiled, though it started to fall when it looked like Cass was going to argue. "I won't be long Mr. Vaisey," Craig promised him as he left, glad Cass hadn't argued with Dylan.

"And yes I know that was too polite as well." Craig teased Dylan as he moved to lay on the bed with him, giving him a gentle hug before pulling away. "Whats most comfortable for you?" He asked him before getting too comfortable on the bed, moving as directed.

"Not going to be able to stay long, Nott will pull me out by my hair after a bit I think." He sighed looking at Dylan, "You still in pain? Jamie told me what happened."

"How we ended up friends, I'll never understand," Dylan said with chuckle. Had he had more energy he would have laughed. "I think you might be scaring Cass with the Mr Vaisey. He'll be looking over his shoulder for his uncle now," he said with a grin.

Shrugging, he smiled. "I don't care. I'm mostly tired. A bit sore, but it's all over and not something that change no matter what you do."

"Just get comfortable and stop worrying."

"You just got lucky," Craig told him with a smile before shrugging, "Still feels a bit weird calling him Cass to his face. I can at least pretend to be polite." Craig told him.

Shifting Craig gently pulled Dylan against him, letting himself be used as a pillow before kissing his hair. "Just didn't want to hurt you. Not worrying, be kind, considerate, all those things you scoff at." Craig teased him as he played with Dylan's hair, "I'm fixing it," He added before Dylan could comment.

"If I weren't so tired I'd punch you for being so prissy," he said with a yawn, though he settled against him comfortably. "Nah, this isn't considerate, this is just you trying to feel me up," he joked.

"It's all right though, I know I'm irresistibly gorgeous." He yawned again, allowing his eyes to drift closed. "So tell me something that doesn't revolve around me. How are you?"

"Not prissy," Craig told him frowning as he he shook his head, "How many times do I have to tell you I'm just not into blondes? Honestly Dylan if you want me so badly just dye your hair another color." Craig told him, still playing with his hair.

"You would be irresistibly gorgeous if you were a brunette," Craig added, going along with the teasing.

Craig wasn't sure if Dylan knew about Jamie and Sirius so he didn't mention that. "Nothing much new with me. Going on a date tomorrow. Jamie won't let me cancel to make sure you two are alright."

Even though tired, Dylan raised an arm to box Craig in the stomach though there was no power in the move, even less than when he normally joked with things like that. "I'm always gorgeous, so of course I would. I look better as a blonde though, besides how would it look if we had the same hair colour?" He tsked. "Nah, much better that the three of us are all different."

He tensed slightly at the mention of date, assuming it was Sirius and a talk had somehow turned into a date in Craig's mind. He didn't say anything though, because that was up to James. "Good luck," he said. "And no hovering, we've hovered over enough as it is."

He closed his eyes, feeling the tiredness claim him again. "You'd better go," he yawned. "Either that or make yourself comfortable because if I fall asleep with you as my pillow you're not moving until the morning."

Craig chuckled, actually pleased that Dylan had enough strength to at least try and hit him, even if it didn't hurt. "They'd just make even more Three Musketeer references is all." Craig told him, "Sides thought you didn't care what people thought."

Feeling Dylan tense Craig asked, "You alright? Hurting again?" Merlin he hoped not. "I'm allowed to hover, best friend clause." He told him.

"I'd stay but I doubt you want me waking you in the morning when I leave for work. You can use me as a pillow this weekend if you want though." He offered Dylan, playing with his hair again for a second before shifting and getting up. "Owl if you need anything."
