✤ The grave below the flowers ✤ (CRAIG OF THE CREEK)

Sleep on the couch

So sorry that I forgot to mention this in 'The scout n' me' but for the head canon Jason collects Swiss Army Knives is from DumbassWhoWroteat3AM I stole it cause I liked it then ate it for breakfast.

Craig held his bag full of things, he held onto the strap while walking out with Jason who was standing behind him. "Thanks for having me over"Craig smiled "Oh, you're welcome! I actually really liked having you here..."Jason smiled while Craig nodded, rubbing his eyes due to not getting a lot of sleep last night.

After Jason was done showing his knife collection they spent the rest of the day at the creek, Eleanor nor Jason's father noticed them leave.

Jason ended up walking Craig home, he found no rush to go back to his own home, after all no one was waiting for him he could take years to get home yet no one would notice. Craig once again rubbed his eyes and looked back at Jason.

As he looked at Jason, his vision felt blurry and he wanted to shut them to go to sleep but he noticed something right above him. He looked up above Jason's head.

Fuck.

He didn't know if he was used to this by now, but damnit was this making him sleepless. What was she doing here? He had made peace with Jason, was that it? What else did he need to do?

"Y-Yeah...I enjoyed you too! I should get inside now- B-Bye!"Craig slammed his palm on the knob, the panic rushing to his head made him forget the door was locked. Craig lightly giggled at his mistake grinning to Jason until he finally got hold of his house key and let himself inside.

Jason watched him with a confused face, he looked around at anything that potentially could have frighten Craig off.

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Jason sighed, muttering a useless bye to Craig and turned to walk home.

"Jason?"Tony stood there, blinking at him under the sunglasses. "Oh...Hey Tony"Jason sighed and took steps toward Tony "Where were you today?".

"My mom had to run errands, dunno about Boris, forgot to ask"Tony shrugged "Wanna walk home together?"Tony tilted his head to the side, "Sure...".

The walk was quiet, until Jason looked back at Craig's house and almost looked sad. "Hey Tony, I think I'm worried for...Someone"He hesitated the words but figured it wouldn't hurt if he simply said 'Someone' instead of 'Craig'. "Who?"Tony raised an eyebrow. Fuck, now Tony wanted him to get specific. "Tony don't ask questions...I-It's private!"Jason was almost irritated and moved blond hairs from his face and temples. He needed a haircut, he knew he did. But a part of him felt the hair should stay, it wasn't eating trash from the ground and dragging itself. Why bother?

Tony sucked in his lip staying silent, "*Sighs* Where do I start...They haven't been sleeping, I can tell, they have these circles around their eyes. I haven't said anything cause it might be rude but it's hard to ignore it's only a matter of time before me or someone says something about them, they've been real jittery too like someone has been hiding behind bushes and trees trying to attack them! I don't know, Tony...I guess I can give it sometime, yeah...They probably need some space, I shouldn't pry"Jason sighed walking with Tony until he looked to his left and saw his three story home. "Well, this is my stop. Bye, Tony...Hey, I know we haven't been hanging out much, I just became friends with Craig and we wanna keep the friendship going...But tomorrow we can hang out, me, you and Boris can".

Tony nodded and waved his goodbye, he kept walking forward towards his own house.

Jason sighed getting his house key from his left pocket and put the key in the keyhole and let himself in.
