ain’t fair. you’re meant for better than this shit.” another sob begins to build up in his throat.

he looks at charlie miserably. “and I just keep screwing it all up.”

[𝒕𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝖓𝖔 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉.ᐟ @troubledempath]

will sinks down when directed that way and leans his back against the wall. his whole body shivers as if he can’t get warm but he’s coated in sweat.

now and then like something is jumping at him from the corner of his eye, only to vanish when he turns.

“I’m sorry.”

[𝒕𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝖓𝖔 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉.ᐟ @troubledempath]

a sob bubbles out of will’s chest: small, frightened, almost childlike. what horrors had chased him here?

he watches the rise and fall of their chest, listens to the inhale, the exhale. his sobs die down to whimpers which die down to shaky sounds as he tries to breathe.

“wow, handcuffs? you're kinda kinky.”
“sir, you’re under arrest.”

[𝒕𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝖓𝖔 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉.ᐟ @troubledempath]

tears begin to struggle past the tightly closed eyes.

he shakes his head.

“sorry, sorry, sorry.”

sorry excuse for a friend, for a 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅.

he puts his hands on his face.

will comes tumbling through the door. he stands there, in the middle of this entry, shaking and twitching and looking around.

he almost never goes through the door.

and now he’s in here. it briefly occurs to him through a fog addled —

brain that he had no idea when he got here if charlie’s dad was or wasn’t home. if he had been, will could have been the cause of hell falling down on charlie’s head.

rubs the arm like there’s something on him.

“I don’t —- I don’t know,” he manages, his voice rising, falling, becoming a low rumble. his accent is thick, too.

bright blue eyes are wild and confused and 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝.
