[ Gareth had been through enough shit, even before the earthquakes. The amount of bullshit he had to deal with from the rock for brains jocks and getting roughed up by Jason had him on edge more than usual. So when Eddie popped his head through the window Gareth's immediate reaction was to grab whoever it was, pull them into his room over his desk, and slam them to the ground ready for a fight. However his hand stalls in the air when he sees who it is.
Eddie.
His best friend.
Eddie who had been there for him through his parents divorce, Eddie who was a wanted criminal but had to be innocent. Eddie who wouldn't hurt a fly. His own eyes are wide before he's hauling the other up into a hug, not even questioning why the guy looks like shit or where he'd been. ]
Holy fuck, Eddie. You're really alive? Like seriously?
[ Pulling back Gareth is already looking the other over and taking inventory of Eddie's appearance. ]
