“I’ve known you for years, Joey. I know when you’re lying.” Henry wouldn’t have made the accusation if he wasn’t absolutely sure of it. Joey wanted more from him; he always had. Henry wished he could provide it, and yet…
“She is.” A faint smile came across the animator’s face as he thought of her. Linda had promised Henry his favorite meal tonight.
But it still felt like he was abandoning Joey. If Henry needed something, Joey would be there in the blink of an eye. Now, Joey needed him, and Henry was leaving. He felt guilty.
“Should I stay and help clean up? Just for a few more minutes.”

@gamblealife asked: “Go rest, this isn’t up for debate.” ( Joey for Henry Iwouldnttrusthim :'D )
Maybe it wasn’t just Joey who was working him to death. Maybe it was Henry doing it, too.
Henry hadn’t realized how much pressure he always put on himself until he’d come back to the studio. He needed to relax more; he needed to give himself a break every once in a while and stop being so hard on himself. Even Joey, who was the definition of a workaholic, agreed.
“I will,” Henry insisted, barely even looking up from his paper. “I just… need to finish this drawing first.”

@gamblealife asked: “ i’m lost without you. and i’m not asking you to fix me or be something you’re not. i’m just asking you to keep being the lighthouse you are just by being you. and let me guide myself by it. ” ( ooofff. Joey for Henry :'3 )
Tumblr media
A SMALL SMILE spread across the animator’s face as he lowered his gaze. He normally wouldn’t be smiling, but he knew Joey, better than almost anyone else. “You’re asking me to… be myself?” He looked back at Joey and gave a light shrug of his shoulders. “I think I’m pretty good at that.”
In all seriousness, though, Henry DID worry about his best friend. The years had changed him — both of them, but especially Joey. His principles had shifted. And it wasn’t a bad thing — not necessarily — but it was different. A sign that something might be wrong. So, Henry continued, his smile fading. “I want to HELP YOU, Joey. Isn’t that what friends are for? I feel like I could be doing more than just being myself.”

@gamblealife asked: ▲ + falling asleep next to them ( honestly for either Henry or Sammy. Whichever works best - from Joey u3u )
It was late. Henry's eyes could barely keep themselves open. He wanted to go home, to leave this place, to sleep in his own bed. But he couldn't, not before he finished this.
Joey had come by his desk and pulled up a chair next to him, just watching him work, probably doing some sketches of his own; Henry was too tired to notice. It was only a matter of time before Henry's eyes started to close, his hand movements ceasing as his head flopped down onto the desk.
"Just... one minute," Henry managed to say before he felt himself drift off to sleep.

@gamblealife asked: ☹ My muse is jealous over someone else showing interest in yours. ( Ofc he would be. 🙄 Joey for Henry )
Henry wasn’t one to talk about things very often, especially personal things. But he couldn’t shut up about Linda. And Joey was his best friend; he had to discuss it with someone. Henry was smiling the whole day, unlike his normal serious demeanor, and he kept making comments. He couldn’t help it.
“I’ve never seen someone like her before.” Henry was drawing in his sketchbook, but he was hardly focused. “I swear she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. And she… she noticed me.” He couldn’t stop smiling. “Out of everyone, she noticed me.”
Finally, Henry looked up from his sketchbook to see Joey’s expression. Quickly, he lowered his gaze back to his drawings. “Sorry,” he apologized quickly. “This isn’t an appropriate conversation to have at work.”

@gamblealife asked: ▲ + telling them they love them for the first time. ( He's ready for the heartbreak - I think :'D - Joey for Henry )
Henry may have been oblivious, but he wasn’t that oblivious. He knew what Joey meant, and he knew he didn’t mean it platonically. Deep down, he’d probably known for a while. But Henry never liked to make assumptions, especially about how other people felt.
“Joey…” Henry looked into his friend’s eyes. “You’re my best friend. I’ll always love you. Just…” He felt a slight pang in his chest. He didn’t want to hurt his feelings, but he knew he would. It was inevitable. “Just not like that.”

@gamblealife asked: "I was sort’ve hoping you needed me. Is that selfish?" ( :'D One more your way - Joey for Henry )
It was hard to say. Because as much as he hated to admit it, Henry didn’t need Joey as much as Joey needed him. Henry needed Joey as a friend; Joey needed him as a friend and as a business partner… maybe even more.
Henry was married. He was happy. But Joey wasn’t; Henry could see it in his eyes. It made his heart ache. He wanted Joey to be happy. And if he made Joey happy, who was he to leave him in his time of need?
“It’s not selfish,” Henry replied with a somewhat sympathetic smile. “Of course I need you; you’re my best friend. And…” He paused, his smile fading slightly. “I have a passion for this, too. My life would be dull if I wasn’t working on cartoons.”

@gamblealife asked: "Because I care about you, okay?" ( Joey to Henry u3u )
Henry sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. He knew Joey cared about him; it was as clear as day. But the sentiment didn’t ease his frustrations. Henry wouldn’t be won over with a few compliments.
“I care about you, too. You know that.” Henry looked up at his friend. “But I’m already sacrificing a lot to be here.” Linda was always lurking in the back of his mind — Linda, and the fact that he wasn’t seeing her as often as he used to. Just like old times, huh?
“I don’t want to let you down. But… you’re asking a lot.”
