\u201cNeed some help there, Alex?\u201d Logan\u2019s laughter draws both their attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Alexander says shortly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2026 I can stand on my own,\u201d Nolan says. \u201cLet go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo.\u201d Logan steps up beside the two. \u201cYou\u2019ll fall over if you try that. Let us help you to the nurse\u2019s office.\u201d He gently grasps one of Nolan\u2019s arms, tugging it away from Alexander. \u201cYeah?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan swallows dryly. \u201cYeah.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander lets out a sigh of relief at Nolan\u2019s acceptance, loosening his stinging grip. He moves one hand to Nolan\u2019s shoulder. Logan stands on his other side, arm draped over Nolan. He tightly holds onto both of them. His arm is positioned under Logan\u2019s, clasping the brunette\u2019s side. Nolan\u2019s other arm is reaching around Alexander\u2019s taller form, hugging him tightly. Nolan slumps imperceptibly, his headache easing at the lack of effort it now takes to stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They take careful steps down the hallway, other students going out of their way to avoid bumping into the group of three. By the time they make it to the corner and take a left, they\u2019ve got an awkward rhythm going. Nolan takes deep, steadying breaths as they walk, wincing every time he gets jostled. Before he\u2019s fully aware of what\u2019s happening, they turn and a door is in front of his face. Alexander\u2019s hand appears and turns the doorknob, pushing it open.
