With that kind of reaction it wasn't like his friend even needed to say the words out loud - his body language and every movement he made was screaming out 'yes'.<br/>As Mads came to his side and slid down the wall to sit on the floor, Case closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. He filled his lungs for a moment and held it before slowly releasing it out.<br/>He'd had his crazy moment - not to say there wouldn't be many, many more - so he needed to calm down and at least try talk this through with Maddison. It wasn't like he had any better ideas anyway. Talking through or punch it out - as much as he would have loved to have taken up the second option, he wasn't stupid enough to think it would actually solve anything whereas talking to Mads, who seemed to be feeling something at least a little similar, may help a little. Case would tell himself anything so he wouldn't have to believe that it was actually hurting to see his friend in pain. He had to make it about himself so it would 'prove' that he didn't care about anyone else.<br/><br/>Pushing himself from the wall, Case took one step forward, swivelled around and dropped his lanky frame into a crouch. His elbows rested at his knees and he lent forward, tipping his head to one side.<br/>"Sounds nice." He grinned a little, putting on a face, even if he was still feeling like steamed up shit inside. "But I don't think you mean it in the good way, right?" That grin widened as he lifted a hand and pushed his chin to rest in it, his elbow on his knee still taking the weight.<br/>"So, what now?"  His smile faltered a little to show some of the beat up feeling he had going on inside. It wasn't like he was alone it all this, so a little bit seeping through wasn't the end of the world.<br/>"Are we just going to pretend it never happened? " He paused, raising his eyebrows as Mads as though it was an actual suggestion before his eyes lit up. "Or! Or we could invent a time machine and go back to before it ever happened. Then you could have yours and I could have mine." His lips pulled up in a wicked grin, the hand hold his chin dropping away and instead taking Mads' chin softly and holding it up so they he was forced to make eye contact. "Provided 'yours' isn't the one I want...." With neither of the boys having disclosed who they were heart broken over, it would be a delicate subject - at least for Case it would be.
