[ while raleigh would get that if yancy voiced it--he's been in yancy's head, he knows exactly how he views being a big brother--he would also be a little offended. because while most of the time he's completely okay with yancy being the caretaker of the two of them, they're co-pilots. that means raleigh is supposed to have yancy's back just as much as yancy has his. the fact that yancy hardly ever lets him do that is infuriating sometimes. ]
Enough. [ a beat, and he amends: ] Everything, really.
[ it hurt his heart to hear. really, yancy's just laying in the bed he made, but it's hard to not have sympathy for him when he's such a miserable mess. raleigh sighs softly and holds on a little tighter. ]
It's not gonna be this shitty and fucked up forever.
[Realistically, Yancy knows that it can't be like this forever. Either Tendo will forgive him or he won't. Either he'll get over Alison or he won't. Something will have to change with time and he'll adapt and make his peace as best he can. He did when Dad left and Mom died and those were pretty shitty times too, this time just feels exceptionally shitty because he did it to himself.
Can't blame anyone for this one, not that he didn't much finger pointing before.
He nods slightly and leans more of his weight into Raleigh.]
[ raleigh really doesn't think alison and tendo are going to get divorced. the two of them are so sickeningly in love sometimes it seems impossible. even recently, which he's assuming was after yancy and alison had slept together, they were ridiculous.
but he does realize saying that probably isn't going to help yancy, so instead he goes with ] Then we deal with the fallout and move on.
[ we because even if he's still a little pissed about all this, they're brothers and co-pilots. if raleigh's going to have anyone's back in this ( and he really, really, really doesn't want to, for the record ) it's going to be yancy's. ]
[Yeah well if they were so sickeningly in love, it wouldn't have mattered what Yancy felt for her or wanted because she wouldn't have looked at him twice. Except that she did and he looked back and wasn't strong enough to stop.]
[Yancy laughs and shoves him off at the same time. He knows Raleigh better than anyone and he knew that was coming and he's grateful to his brother for doing it because it actually manages to cheer him up a little.]
[ oh, good. it worked. raleigh leans back with a little laugh of his own, still sticking close to yancy even if he's not being overly physically affectionate anymore. even though they're acting a little closer to normal now, he's still a little worried. ]
I totally know what zen means. [ wait for it... ] I've seen more martial arts movies than you.
How did I end up with such an idiot for a co-pilot anyway?
[But he's saying that with love and what can only be called an affectionate smack to the back of his head and he's pretty sure that Raleigh is joking but on the off chance he isn't... well he still loves you, kid.]
