86 Feelings (Stan x Kenny)[Completed]

39

A/N: Final chapter!!!!! Took me an extra few days because honestly, I wasn't exactly sure how to end everything. Endings are not my strength so I tried something a little different, please let me know if I should do a little more, or if the ending is fitting for them. Thank you so much for taking the time to read!!!!

I've already started a new Stenny story called Depths of Gloom (on here & ao3) if anyone wants to check it out, updates will be sporadic though! Chapter two will be up by the end of the week <3

(Day 660)

The courtroom was surprisingly sparse. Stan figured there would be a media storm around the story, but it seemed like no one had heard about what happened between Tammy Warner and Carol McCormick. He wondered if maybe the McCormicks chose to keep it that way.

Notably, however, Kenny tensed at the sight of a particular person - his father. Stuart McCormick had unfortunately decided to make an appearance, and a drunken appearance, nonetheless. Stan recognized the way he swayed back and forth on the bench in the front row, and mumbled incoherent things to no one in particular.

Karen refused to be apart from either of them. She made sure to place herself in the middle of the two people she trusted most. When she inevitably noticed her father, the mood between the siblings shifted to something he had yet to see in the youngest. He could see the rage in them both. Besides Kevin, their father was the one other subject Kenny refused to speak in detail about; Stan figured that opening up about that trauma would take some time.

But, witnessing how uncomfortable it made them displeased Stan to the point where he could barely sit still. He tried not to think about how the situation was bound to devolve further once Tammy managed to make her own appearance. Fuck.. Ken and I didn't get to talk about Tammy.

They'd been preparing for this day for a while now. Stan was careful to only watch for a necessary prompt to support Kenny and Karen if they needed it. With Stan arriving later in their lives, in the midst of an extremely challenging event, the McCormick siblings had proven how well they could take care of themselves, and adapt to nearly anything. They were truly resilient.

The moment Tammy finally waltzed into the courtroom with a lawyer, Kenny grabbed Stan's hand. She stared at them as she passed, her eyes lingering on the blonde refusing to look her way. It just made Stan frown. With everything Kenny shared about Tammy and her life, he had a hard time shrugging off how little closure they got in the end.

Resolving things with Wendy (again) was astonishing enough, but when he mended things with Kelly too, it made him think about what Kenny possibly needed. Stan didn't like Tammy, yet the two had an important history.

She sat with her lawyer in the front before Stan could suggest anything. He squeezed Kenny's hand back, and offered a small smile to comfort the small hints of anxiety in the other. Words really didn't seem like enough during something so serious.

Karen was curled into herself on the bench, knees hugged to her chest as she stared daggers into the back of Tammy's head. Her nails scratched the fabric of the new jeans they just bought for her, the feeling of the denim helping to calm whatever trauma this all seemed to be triggering. Stan hated seeing her so stressed.

"Kar?" Stan whispered to her behind Kenny, the scratching immediately coming to a halt. "Round of basketball later?"

He didn't know what else to offer her, and the moment it was out of his mouth, he considered apologizing for speaking in the first place, yet a chuckle spilled from her previously trembling lips: "Sure, if you can keep up this time. You can't have Ken on your side either, so don't even think about it."
