[ While not popular, he's never not had friends. Freaks flock to freaks and he was king of them, ruling over his little court. This is a new kind of loneliness.
Usually a little younger than him, the eternal senior, but friends all the same. People who were around when he needed the company. And the great thing about always having a minimum of three is usually, one is on the outs of any issue you're having. People to distract him when things were shit.
He misses Gareth being a fucking downer, and he misses Jeff's rationality, and Grant always being ready to go to war over absolutely fucking nothing. Misses Dustin being the eternal spot of sunshine, ready to be a goddamn know-it-all about shit no one else cares about. Lucas being just a little too cool for them and knowing it, loyal all the same. Mike not knowing what the fuck he was doing at any given time being being ready to jump in when you called for him.
