Happier

Walking down 29th and park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier

Gavin and Conan were almost inseparable back then, almost everything was in place. Obviously they hadn't started out like that but eventually they warmed up to each other. They loved solving cases together but sometimes it wasn't always perfect.

Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours yeah,
You look happier you do

That was until Conan wasn't there for Gavin when he needed him. Gavin had broke down and nobody was there to comfort him. Connor was with Hank and Conan had gone to Jericho to "talk" to North.
When Conan had come back Gavin wasn't there only a note 'I hope you're happy jerk'.

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
Ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal baby,
If you're moving on with someone new

Conan didn't know what caused Gavin to leave suddenly, of course he had been away a lot but surely that couldn't of been the reason, he thought. Secretly every time Conan had snook at to meet North they would end up getting rather intimate. But Conan knew that couldn't of been the reason dean had left because Gavin wasn't like that.

'Cause baby you look happier you do,
My friends told me 'one day I'll feel it too',
And until then I'll smile and hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

Conan had tried everything to reach Gavin. He had rung, text, wrote a letter, sent emails but alas didn't find him. He asked Hank, Markus, Simon, Josh and even North herself! Nobody had heard from him for 2 weeks. Conan was desperate and didn't make any attempts to go and suck Norths face off, all his time he was trying to find Gavin. 'This would be whole lot easier if I wasn't this stupid to let him go' was his last thought before he set off to find him.

Sat in the corner of the room,
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?

It had taken a while, around 2 and half months to be exact to find out where Gavin's location was. Conan was upset to say the least, he had spent so long searching for someone who didn't even care, and he couldn't bring himself to actually do anything except confront him peacefully. To be expected Gavin was confused why Conan was there but that confusion was soon replaced with anger and hurt.

But ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you,
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know there's others that deserve you
But my darling I am still in love with you

Conan had listened to all of Gavins crying and shouting and listened to every word, though he was confused why he had ran off in the first place so he asked. Gavins eyes and filled with tears and more shouting. "I loved Conan! So much and nearly every night you were snogging that whores face off! You were hurting me so much and you couldn't even see because you was never there for me! Do you know how long I waited for you to come back and tell me you actually cared for me and meant it? I waited so long Conan and you were never fucking there!'

But I guess you look happier you do,
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
I could try to smile and hide the truth
I know I was happier with you

Conan didn't really know how to react, I mean his best friend of like 4 years just admitted he's liked him for so long. Conan looked at Gavin with a saddening expression and rambled about how sorry he was and wished he could make it up to him which almost made Gavin run into his arms right there right then. But he didn't, after all Conan had hurt him for too long and he spent too long with a unbearable pain latched onto himself. Gavin only stood back and wiped his tears that were running down his face "Im sorry Conan but you hurt me for too long, I've been happier with Connor and I can't forgive you" Conan winced at deans words, they weren't harsh but Conan was expecting a better ending than this but not everyone gets their happy endings. He was also angered Connor never told him anything. So Conan walked away muttering his last words to Gavin;

"But baby you look happier you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you"
