Sunday afternoon Rose found herself curled up in her favourite chair with a big mug of coffee and a pile of travel guides for Greece in general and individual Greek islands in particular. She knew plenty about Greece’s history and could probably recite every single archeologic site in her sleep, but when it came to the best beaches or simply touristy spots in general, she was at a complete loss. Of course, she and Rolf hadn’t set an exact time (or even a timeframe) for when they would go, and though Rose had found the intrigue of not going for work or study purposes, she did want to know where it would make the most sense to get the best of her very first experience as a tourist.

Dennis huffed in amusement despite himself. "I suppose he has some sort of issue about his scar, but I agree he was a bit of an arse dealing with it," he said, suddenly feeling a bit irritated.

"At least I've got you two," he said, the nasty tension in his chest lessening somewhat. "People leave me, Rolf," he said very quietly. "My brother, my best friend, my boyfriend - ex-boyfriend sorry - they all seem to leave and they don't come back and I hate it. Why won't they stay with me?" He was shaking again, this time with anger. If Seamus wanted to leave him, then he'd be fresh out of luck. Dennis would be the one to leave this time. "I don't want to talk to Seamus," he said with certainty, hugging Rolf tighter.

Rose drew in a deep breath, her heart breaking for Dennis and everything that had happened to him, the shit the people he had cared so much about had put him through. “Colin didn’t leave you,” she said quietly. “He was unfairly taken from you, but he didn’t leave you, love.” She had never known Colin, only heard about him from Dennis, and Tom and Paden? Lifting her head, she moved until she could rest it on top of Dennis’ shoulder. Slowly her fingers stroked through his hair. “Tom and Paden? The only thing you’re guilty of there, babe, is a case of poor taste, and I think we’ve all been there. They didn’t see what they had in you, and that is their loss, not yours.”

Rolf echoed Rose's words, one hand smoothing and ruffling Dennis' hair idly in turns, the other still wrapped firmly around him. It was natural that he stop and Rose take over with the hair stroking; his hand instead went around Dennis and curved behind her head on Dennis' shoulder. "Collin never would have wanted to leave you," he agreed. "And we've already discussed the arses today, and the plotting shall continue, i promise."

He shook his head slightly and brushed his lips across Dennis' forehead. "Don't make that decision now," he counseled quietly. "It was obviously a misunderstanding, and most of the those can be fixed, even when people are jerks about it." He'd go see Seamus himself if he had to, to make sure where things stood before he sent Dennis in though.

Dennis sighed but nodded, their presence made him feel oddly brave. Before he could think about it, he opened his mouth and began to speak, "I was angry at Colin when he left for the Battle. I'd hurt myself falling from a tree and couldn't come with him, and he said... something. I don't even remember. So I was angry with him, and then he died, and I just kept being angry." He righted his grip around Rolf's waist and burrowed further into his shoulder. "Logically I know that Paden and Tom are dicks, I just... I loved him so much, and he just... I... I opened up to him, and he helped me so much and then," he trailed off lamely.

"But I want to make that decision now," he complained bitterly. "I'm sick of not being able to control anything and I can control this."

Rolf rubbed Dennis' back soothingly. "It's easy to be angry," he murmured understandingly. "But maybe someday you can stop being angry with him." It would take time, and willingness. He simply stated it, not being pushy in the least. "I know, cubby," Rolf said. "But at least you took away those goods things, even if he was a horrid dick and did that to you."

Rolf's eyes met Rose's over Dennis' head. She gave him a small smile, silently passing the conversation to him for the moment. He smiled back softly, fingers of his other hand ghosting over the back of her hair. "Is it really worth abandoning a friendship you've treasured for years?" he said after a long moment of thought. He spoke slowly, in a mild manner. Dennis would probably change his mind in time, but at least he'd give him that much to think about. He nuzzled Dennis' neck again, comforting. He worried because he knew how much Seamus meant to his friend.

Rose was relieved when Rolf simply took over. Her own fingers were still massaging and stroking through Dennis’ hair as she let Rolf’s voice soothe her too. She knew that if she even attempted to speak, she would be counterproductive by railing against Tom and Paden, pointing out how Dennis had been their friend, had loved them, but that it could never have been mutual, because what they had done to him, how they had treated him… you just didn’t do that to anyone, least of all people you cared about… people she cared about.

However, even with Rolf’s soothing words, the sight of her best friends snuggling like that and the calm their little pile exuded, images and ideas of just how to get them back for what they had done to Dennis kept popping up in her mind. Seamus? Sure, he’d been an arse to Dennis today, which wasn’t alright, but it happened, and most likely they could smooth things out, but all he had really done was poke at the insecurities caused by Paden and Tom.
