I'm trying to write more I promise... :)))))
Ok: (left to right: Henry, Gregory, Errin.)
Henry -> Gregory - Henry doesn't have a lot of friends and it shows. He might trust him more than Errin and this ticks the latter to no end. Doesn't want to admit that he likes the way that Gregory listens to him. His polite interest is refreshing. Like, you actually want to hear about what I think? Are you joking?
Henry -> Errin - Should be a little bit wary of him by now, but the boy doesn't learn. It always seems like Errin has his best interests at heart, but has trouble showing that in a healthy way. He loves him unconditionally, but as he grew older and more aware of how clingy his brother was, he's starting to think he should start asking for space. Henry just has to find a way to tell him.
Gregory -> Henry - Henry started opening up to him. That was really unexpected to him. Why would he want to be friends, with him, of all people? After two back-to-back relationships, that only now, he knows were both super abusive, and the health troubles that he was having, having a real friend was refreshing. The illness was likely cancer, his doctor said, but he still believed that he could make up for lost time. Now that he's in a hospital, again, there's no nurse in sight. Errin flat out told him that it was his job, which is weird, but Henry is easy to take care of. Help him in and out of his chair, turn on the shower, make sure he eats well, etc. If he was bolder, he would call him brother, too.
Gregory -> Errin - Gregory is terrified of Errin. Not only does he seemed ticked off at him 24/7, but he reminds him of his late boyfriend (bi). He was really controlling, and his passivity pissed him off to no end. Errin is too similar for comfort. He feels like he is going to have an anxiety attack from being in the room with him too long. Maybe if he is as nice to him as humanly possible, he'll leave him in one piece. Because, unlike both of his exes, he actually thinks Errin has killed someone, and will have no problem doing it again. He's kind of figured out that Henry is a trigger for him, if he's safe/well then he's good. If only he could avoid telling him the truth. If he found out, then he's doomed. No, he's not going to find out. He likes friendship he's gained with Henry too much to let that be jeopardized by his obsessive older brother.
Errin -> Henry - The earliest memory he has is his mother leaving them; telling the small boy that he has to protect his brother, that it was the most important thing. This only in the wake of his father's funeral and his brother's third birthday. Being sent off to the nearest aunt or uncle, never having long to settle in. Errin never forgot the promise he made to his mother. Over time it morphed into something akin to co-dependent obsession. (That's exactly what it is.) The amount of people he's dragged into the back to protect his brother. Around him however, he doesn't really know how to act. He tried for years to fit into the supportive older brother role, but it always seemed out of character for him. So he's tried to mask how he feels and only recently has the mask started to crack.
Errin -> Gregory - Errin's obsessive tendencies towards Henry has come out in full force with a third person living with them. It doesn't help Gregory's case that he is around their age either, seeing as Errin is better at pretending with adults/therapists than he is with people his age. At the very least, Gregory annoys the fuck out of him; at the worst, at least so far, he has had to hold back, a lot, of what he wants to say to him. It's not like Henry doesn't understand how far he's gone with someone, he hasn't witnessed it. So death threats off the table, since they are all dead anyway, he's resorted to giving him "looks" that help Gregory gauge his mood. Does Gregory deserve any of this? No, but he doesn't really care. He's going to have to get over his attitude if he wants to be friends with him. If that is even possible. :)

Lol, thanks for reading. I'm sorry if this was short, I've been writing for a while for a post that was supposed to be quick, and my fingers really hurt. :L
I'm also sorry for Errin, he's a mess. The meds he takes, given to him by an unknown person, are some sort of mood stabilizer. He's only started taking them. (As mentioned in this fic: Here)
