Yeah...? [ raleigh pops his good shoulder up in a shrug. ] It's not like I'm still interested in her or anything, so. Yeah. Good for you.
[ the fact that yancy is so shocked about this really just drives home how fucking co-dependent the two of them are. raleigh would probably be weirded out by it if it weren't for the fact that he's too busy getting warm fuzzies over yancy not wanting naomi to screw up their brotherly relationship again. ]
You're happy, right? [ 'cause in the greater scheme of things, that's really all that matters. does she make him happy. ]
[No he's not actually happy. But that doesn't have anything to do with Naomi. He's a fucking wreck and he has panic attacks on a nearly weekly basis, sometimes it's more sometimes it's almost a month between them but Naomi actually distracts him from that. Makes him think about something that isn't wrecking Gipsy or letting Raleigh down and you could probably call that happier than he would be without her.
None of that comes out of his mouth though.]
Yeah. I am. I thought you were going to try and punch me again too.
[ raleigh laughs a little and reaches for the bag of chips that he'd completely forgotten about when yancy dropped that little tidbit of a life update.
he's not stupid, so he knows that yancy isn't happy like he used to be. neither of them are or ever will be again. knifehead fucked them up royally and there's no real going back from that. but if yance is happy by certain definitions of happy, raleigh's happy for him. ]
Nope. Not this time. [ he pauses. ] So long as you don't do anything that'll make me walk in on you two.
[ because no he's not letting go of the fact that yancy was thinking about that of all things when they drifted that one time. it was horrifically scarring. ]
[Because they are almost always at Naomi's place instead of the one that Yancy shares with his brother because of that very problem. Yancy didn't want to involve Raleigh in it, and so he didn't and now it's just habit to go there. Habit and it's easier to pretend like he's something resembling normal when he's there.]

[You're a good brother, kiddo.]
