Always All Ways (Apologies, Glances and Messed Up Chances)

The door was opened, and to their surprise, it was James. He was looking suspiciously calm, and it made Robert nervous and Greg angry. “Can, I, uh, come in?” he asked, more calmly than he has talked this past week. Greg stormed away from the door, and James took that as a more angry “Yes, sure! Come on in!” Robert hated any kind of tension, so he immediately felt uncomfortable. Greg was able to detect this and grabbed Robert’s hand, and felt the tension ease away. “I came…I came to apologize. I know I shouldn’t of yelled. I’m so sorry.” Greg smiled, but Robert could feel something wasn’t right. “That’s so sweet of you. I’m really glad you came here. I guess I didn’t have to come and find you to tell you this.” The cheeriness in his voice made James happy so he replied “Oh really? What?!” “Oh, come stand with me.” Greg opened the door and was still smiling. “James, do me a favor? Please leave us the fuck alone. I never want you near Robert or myself again.” He slammed the door and watched Robert giggle.
