For Will, sex is about connection, but the aftercare is about intimacy. Regardless of the type of sex you two had, Will likes to hug and cuddle you afterwards. He keeps you wrapped inside his arms, caressing specific parts of your body - especially the ones he grabbed a lot. He likes to feel your sweaty body against his, the sensation calming him down as you catch your breath and comes down from your high, feeling safe and satisfied next to him.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Will is pretty proud of his chest. Even with the few scars he has, he likes how firm it is - and part of it it’s because you like his chest, to lay down on it, kiss his scars, and stuff. Your love makes Will feel more confident.
On the other hand, Will loves your back. He loves to see you arching your back while he pleasures you, and how sweaty they get as you tire yourself making love to him.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
Will is much more about the whole sex - on seeing you whisper his name and be euphoric in pleasure - than the actual orgasm. Of course he likes it, but he rather see you cum first - preferably, more than once. He likes to see you in every step before you cum - how you arch your back when he licks you; how your face get all flushed when your whispering; how you scratch his back mercilessly, and just how beautiful you get when you squeeze your thighs and call his name while you cum. After that, you know he doesn't mind not cumming at all, but you sure as hell ride him until he does, in that beautiful congested face of his, squeezing your legs, looking you straight in the eyes, as always.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Like everything in his life, Will keeps count of how many times he has sex with you. He doesn’t tell you he does that, but it’s not that hard to figure it out. Not only he keeps count of it, he also keeps a top 3 best nights he had with you. His top 3 is is 1) the first time he had sex with you, because it meant a lot to him and God, it was amazing; 2) the sex he had with you after coming back from South America - it was about healing each other’s wounds, caused by how much you missed each other, and also about being there for him after Tom’s death; 3) the time he has sex with you on his truck’s hood, in the middle of an empty road - it was rough and quick, but he came so fast and so hard he swear he would never come down from his high.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Will knows the stuff. Not just because he's been engaged for sometime, but also because he was with a few women in his life before that. He's not the type of person that hooks with someone all the time when he's single, but when he was he liked every person he ever been with - not in a romantic way, of course. Will is the type of man who likes women - no matter how tall, or short, or dark-skinned, or white-skinned, or skin, or with some fat; not that he had been with so many women, though. Will loves women in all their ways and gestures and smiles and textures. He liked to know how women responded to him in bed - how something that was heaven for some ones was hell to others. So yeah, he's not the "I-don't-like-this-or-that" in bed. What gives you pleasure and whatever you want, that's what he's gonna do - but if he wants, he knows exactly how to drive you crazy.
You are good experienced enough, you believe. You've been in a long term relationship before - although you didn't get engaged like Will. But you also hooked up with some people before and after that, maybe not so much, but enough to know what you like and what a man likes too, learning to respect your own body and will - and some tricks along the way, of course.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Will loves every position as long as he does it with you, but his favorite is you on top of him. He likes to see your reaction, your boobs as you bounce on top of him, and how beautiful you look gasping for air with messy hair all over your sweaty face.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Will can be surprisingly serious at the moment, especially if you're in an intimate kind of sex. He gets his jaw all contracted and his eyes all over you, with that sexy frowned expression that you just love to see. Sometimes, you can see that he's been through a stressing day - when he's kind of agitated, with lots of adrenaline to waste -, and he just wants a rough sex. Not exactly a brutal one, just something fast, without many prelimimaries, to discharge the energies; something that you really understand because sometimes that's all you want too. In some special occasions, when he's hiding some surprise from you - on a Valentine's Day or something -, he gets all goofy in his own way, and the sex that comes after that is a very funny and loving one.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
He’s pretty well groomed, although he doesn’t shave it entirely. It bothers him to have long hair down there, so he used to shave it just enough to not bother him. After he met you and started a relationship with you, he never actually talked to you about how you prefers it, but he keeps his maintaining down there so it won’t become a problem.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
Will is not the proud type of man. He doesn’t feel bad or any less of a man knowing that he’s romantic as fuck. But it’s not that cliché of giving flowers all the time or anything like this. He’s romantic when he cooks for you whenever he gets home erlier; when he helps you shopping when you don’t want to do it alone; when he’s patient as fuck during your PMS. And also when he fucks you nice and slow, looking you in the eye and making you feel like you’re a goddess. He likes to sense your smell, he’s face in your neck; he likes to squeeze your thighs and he loves it when you’re close to your orgasm. He knows it perfectly, and sometimes he asks you to cum when you’re on top of him, just to watch it completely.
You are in love with every aspect of this man. You know when he wants you because he gets really close to you - in bed or in the sofa - and starts caressing your thigh, real slow, then you just wait to see he starting to squeeze it a little. You already know that, if you look down on him, you will see his stiffness right there, and that’s just when you can’t take it anymore. That’s how he works, most of the time - silent, but with an intense heat that can drag or sanity with it.
You love it when he smiles during sex, and when he kisses you while he’s smiling, all during a delicious rythm down there. You also know when he’s about to cum, and you don’t deny that you love to provoke him a little bit before he does - seeing him with that furrowed brow, the face congested with pleasure, all tense, fingers sunk on your skin; it’s just too good.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
He likes to jack off only when he’s away from you. Before he met you, it was an usual thing he used to do maybe three times a week, since he felt lonely sexually. But now that he has you, he doesn’t need to do it (although when he does, he fantasizes about you) - he much rather have you jerking him off with your soft hands.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
- Hair Pulling: Will likes to pull your hair during sex, and even more to have his hair being pulled. He doesn’t get aggressive while fucking you, but he does like to have a little bit of that type of excitement in bed. It just makes him groan louder when you’re on top of him, riding him, and you pull his hair.
- Voyeurism: He doesn’t like to watch or being watched, but he sure likes the thrill of almost being caught. Will did everything right his whole life, or at least he tried to, so the idea of almost being caught during such an intimate moment, for him, it’s exciting. It makes him hard and even more horny.
- Orgam Denial: Will likes to tease you in sex and deny your orgasm when you fight over something banal and he “wins”, or when you loose some bet you both did - or even when you win, but gives him a hard time afterwards. So he does his best performance - kisses you all over, touches parts he knows you like, bites you lip and your neck and lots of other tricks that just makes you almost beg to be fucked. And after he does, he let you come real close and then just stop, loving to see how angry and horny you are.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
- The bed you two share
- The couch
- His car
- Basically any wall
- The kitchen counter
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Anything about you can turn him on, but there are some body parts of you and some contexts that he just can't fight with. Will loves your back, so anything that includes them naked can make him go nuts; but he also likes very much your inner thigh and your ass, these fleshy parts that he finds perfect to squeeze.
Will is very visual, but at the same time you know how to play with his imagination, which is something delicious to do. When you wanna get him real crazy, you just have to let him know you are provoking him, that you know you're making him go nuts, and "not" caring about it, sort of speak. Like when you appear in front of him with just one of his big T-shirts, with no underwear, and crouch down to "get" something, doing something boring right after. When Will knows you're all naked under that one clothe and that you're playing him, it really can get him wild in a delicious way.
Will also likes it when you initiate the sex, when you get all controlling and intense, with urgency to take him down anywhere and ride him until you have no more air in your lungs - just "using" him but at the same time making him feel like his the only man in the world for you, which he is, actually.
You don't differ much. You love everything about him, but his chest and his ass are just his best parts for you. When he squeezes you on the wall and kisses you as if he never did before, you just can't even think of resisting - is almost something naturally impossible for you. Or when he gets all bossy. God knows how much you love it. Will knows what to do and he loves to give you pleasure, but he's not always the one who slaps your ass or pulls your hair - except when he's like this. He really can make you beg to be slapped and squeezed if he wants. The idea of hurting you is impossible for him to conceive, so when he's feeling wild - which is not so often exactly because of this -, he uses this power he has on you and makes you really beg, just to be sure you really want it - and, of course, because he just loves to see you like that sometimes.
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
It is not common, but Will doesn’t like to do it when he’s angry or when he’s in one of those really bad days. He gets easily stressed then and he just doesn’t feel like doing it. It’s not like when you fight over something “normal” and then fix it with sex - that’s still okay. But when he’s in a bad day - one that he wakes up like that and just feels horrible for some unknown reason -, he’s just trying really hard not to be rude to you, and he thinks that if you start something, it won’t be with a good and genuine desire, it will be with that anger and just the thought of it makes him feel terrible.
You hate to do it if you’re in your period. For you this is something obvious, because you’re all stressed out and horny too, but the blood just turns you off, it’s really uncomfortable. But for Will is not at all and you find it really weird of him - sometimes he even tries to insist a little, just a little, like trying to persuade you to do it in the shower. He really doesn’t care and you have to tell him for the thousandth time that it is just impossible.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Will definitely likes to give oral. Of course he likes recieving too, but for him, giving is the best. He likes to kiss you until you're completely out of your mind, touch you in parts he knows that turns you on, just to go down there and find out you're more wet than ever. And God knows how much he likes to lick you, not only because he like the thing, but also because seeing you arching all your body and squeezing his head sometimes on pleasure means like and orgasm to him.
But, as said before, that doesn't mean he doesn't like receiving it from you. When you start getting down over his body in bed - or getting down your knees, if you're standing - his heart starts beating faster. Just to see you with that malicious look in your face, grabbing his dick as if is the only thing you want, it just blows his mind. By the time you actually starts doing it, his so horny is like you've done it already. He doesn't pull your head or anything like that, he's just very visual, so he wants to see everything of what you're doing. If he's not, that means he's concentrating not to cum.
P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
It depends. Usually, Will is about enjoying the sex, so he likes to do it slow and deep, feeling you around him more and more with each thrust until you two are a moaning mess and cum. Some other times, when he’s on a hurry (read below), he likes it fast and rough. These times are all about how you two are horny and can’t keep your hands off each other. The one thing you can be damn well sure is that he’ll do his best to always make you feel him and the other way around. Will is a fan of sex, regardless of how it’s been doing it - since it doesn’t past his limits.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
You really doesn’t know if it’s something weird of you, but both you and Will just love the quickies on his truck. When you did that one time in the middle of the road - rough and wild, you bouncing on his lap, that dry sound of skin hitting each other -, that was one of your best ones, and there are a lot more fucks that truck witnessed.
You particularly like it when you’re drunk from some party you went to, and you’re both too horny to go nice and slow - one time you almost did it in the elevator, so in a rush to do it you both were. It’s too exciting when you just grin the door kissing each other desperately, hands all over one another, just walking without seeing where you’re going and hopping to find something solid to lean on along the way. The sofa and the kitchen counter have been the two most used places, but in these hot moments any wall can work - or even the floor.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Will loves to experiment new things during sex, as long as they don’t mean any harm to you or to him. He can’t take the thought of hurting you or getting hurt during something that is supposed to be fun.
But he does like to take risks. Will likes the thrill of almost being caught whenever you two has sex in somewhere public (like the time he fucked you in the middle of a road, or when you two almost fucked in an elevator). He rather have sex somewhere safe, but if he’s feeling adventurous and can’t wait to have his way with you, then you sure is down for a crazy ride.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
Are you kidding us? Will likes to jog and exercise ever since he was in the US Special Forces (and a little bit before that). This man’s stamina is out of this world. He can go for as many rounds as he wants to - or as you can take it, which is usually two, three if you’re full of energy. But Will, Will is a freaking machine when he wants to. He can go from thrusting hard into you on a random wall, to eating you out on the bed, to have you riding him. He likes to burn energy by making love to you, but of course you gotta want to. He would never force you to do anything, and in the moment you say you’re done, then he’s done too - even if he can go for more rounds.
When it comes to longing, it depends. Will is very disciplined, so he can hold on his orgarm to see you cum first for as long as he wants to. But he thinks you’re super hot and sometimes he just can’t with the sight of you boucing on top of him, moaning his name and claiming you’re close to your orgasm. It’s too much for him, and next thing you know he’s filling you with his own fluid.
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Will doesn’t have toys himself, but he doesn’t mind if you do. He much rather use his bare hands to please you, but more often than not you like to play him a show and make him watch as you please yourself with your vibrator, which makes him go crazy. He will then step in and use the vibrator on you, asking you if you rather being fucked by that piece of rubber or by himself. He will tease the hell out of you, and make you cum hard before eating you out.
But besides the vibrator, Will isn’t against toys, he just doesn’t use them that much - but he’s pretty open to do so, if you have any ideas.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
It depends on his mood. If he’s feeling quite playful, he will tease you until you’re begging for him to fuck you. He will touch you in all the right places, kissing and slightly biting your neck and shoulders, making his way down your body with his hands until he’s fingering you and feeling you wet on his fingers.
He also likes when you tease him, slowly dry humping on his lap as he grabs your waist and looks straight to your face, enjoying how you look like you have all under control when the truth is you’re dying to have him inside you. In moments like these, he will just laugh at your actions and all of the above will happen, so he can show you who’s more dependent on each other’s touch.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Will isn’t that loud when it comes to sex. He’s quite a talker, because he likes to say things like “yes, darling” and “cum for me”, among others. But when it comes to moaning, he prefers doing it quietly on your ear, as he knows it will drive you crazy to hear his rough voice moaning just for you. He also groans a lot, trying to control himself when you’re giving him that much pleasure.
You, on the other hand, can’t contain your moans. Will sees them as a sign that he’s doing a good job, so he does his best to make you moan, groan and sometimes even scream as much as he wants to.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
- Will loves morning sex. He loves waking you up with an oral, you all sleepy and soft, and then seeing you go in a calming orgasm in the first hours of the day.
- It’s not very common, since Will always tries to be a better person everyday, but sometimes when he’s too rude to you in a discussion or just upsets you for some reason, he tends to compensate it with something sexual.
- Of course he apologizes first, but sometimes you just have a hard time letting it go and being fine, and that’s when he tries to kiss you gently and be there just for you - with his tongue, fingers and all his soul.
- Contrary to what many people think, Will is not a womanizer and never was. He did sleep women when he was single, but wasn't used to just have sex with them and then never see them again. The first time he ever had sex with someone was with his first girlfriend, when he was in high school. All the teenagers were thinking about sex and stuff, and so was Will, but he never wanted to just fuck someone and brag about that.
- And there was this girl from some of his classes that he liked a lot. They were kind of friends because Benny and the girl's brother were close to each other at that time, and they helped Will to ask her out - which led them to date. She was the first person he ever loved, and the first woman he slept with.
- It was a hot summer night, they were listening to some music in her room, and it just happened. It was slow, messy, but very passionate sex. Will never forgets that night, it was pretty special to him.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
12 inches cock. That speaks for itself.
Okay, I’m just kidding. But Will is thick and long, something around 5 or 6 inches. He’s slightly curved and full of veins.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
It’s not like he’s crazy about sex or a nympho, but he likes to have sex quite a lot, maybe three times a week - if you’re up to it, of course. It’s a good way to burn out energy and to be intimate with you. But like I said, he’s not crazy about sex. He could easily go three, maybe four weeks only relying on his bare hands to please himself. There’s more ways to connect to each other too, so it isn’t like sex is the only option.
When you’re on your period, he patiently wait for it to end before he tries anything - even though you two are completely horny and crazy to touch each other. So yeah, he has quite a high sex drive, but nothing out of normal.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
If he’s really tired after making you moan like hell, then Will fall asleep pretty fast, having you wrapped inside his big arms and resting your head on his sweaty chest, feeling his compassed breath. In these moments, Will just keep in mind how lucky he is to have someone who he truly loves as he drifts to sleep. Now, if you two had sex in the middle of the afternoon or whatever, you might fall asleep, but Will will stay awake watching you with a cute little grin on his face, trying to catch his breath and come down from his high while feeling satisfied.
I've seen a lot of Benny Miller headcanons and fics, but I can't stop loving his brother Will 😍😍 He's so rough and manly, but also soft and caring. We want some general headcanons 💕💕💕
Writer: Jess/Lari
Will has this horrible habit of biting his cuticle when he’s nervous
It’s something he can control, most of the time, but if you wanna know how he has been, just look at his fingers and try to find any sign of redness or blood
Will has a truck, better than Tom’s truck
It’s not like he lives for his truck, but it has a pretty special place inside his heart. He likes to wash it, take care of it
Will likes to jog to clear his thoughts, get his worries out of his system with his sweat
Sometimes, when he’s frustrated with something or when his past comes back to haunt him, he takes off his shirt and runs around the nearest blocks, until he’s dripping and gasping for air
It’s his way to deal with what he can’t do something about it
Will can’t help but to be the typical big brother who cares about his little bro probably more than he should
Benny is a grown ass man, who served the US Special Forces, but Will still act like they’re two little kids on the state’s countryside
Which means he likes to always make sure if Benny is okay, about everything - from his fighting career, to this new girl he’s going out with
But he also knows that Benny can take care of himself and that he doesn’t need him all the time
To be honest, Will wouldn’t call himself a family person, properly
Besides Benny - for whom he’s capable of doing anything - he isn’t that close to his relatives
After their mother’s death, when they were very young, their father just became someone different, distant, so Will and Benny just became one huge base for each other
When they got into the military, sometimes it felt like it was them against the world, so it isn’t weird to see Benny or Will including one another in almost everything
Maybe that’s why Will likes spending time with the guys - because of this lack of interaction in his family
Of course he’s not like Pope, Catfish or Benny - who would just make a simple friendly reunion turn into a real party. He also likes being on his own sometimes, when he isn’t in a bad day
In a reunion, Will is the one that’s part of the jokes and involved in almost every stories, laughing and making fun of the others - most of the time having to carry Benny home practically on his shoulders
On the other hand, he doesn’t like drinking too much, and the guys know that he is afraid of doing something he’d regret, so they don’t give him a hard time on it
Will, as a single man, is not the type of guy who needs to get someone home for the night when he gets out
Actually, it’s not that common, and he just don’t care too much about it
He likes to have some casual things here and there, but he’s not very fond of having sex and just pretending the other person don’t exist anymore
Even though he knows that’s going to end at some point, he likes to have the company, talking about preferences and aspirations in life, see a little bit of what the other person sees too, even if it’s just for a while
Will is very self-contained
After the episode in the supermarket, he spent a very long time trying not to be that kind of man - the idea scared him more than he could admit
During this process, everytime he noticed he had been too rude to you in a discussion - or just had a bad day and put it all over your shoulders at home -, he felt like someone else, someone he thought he would never turn into, especially not with you
He tries to put your feelings first in every possible situation, sometimes even when he has the reason
On discussions, depending the kind of situation you’re arguing for, he listens to you first, because that way he can see your point of view and, at the same time, makes you see it on your own
Incredibly, most of the time you speak your reasons why out loud, they become more clear to both of you, turning the situation a lot more easier to solve
Of course it’s not always like this
Sometimes you just been through a stressful day and Will just woke up in one of those days where he’s just feeling he’s the worst version of himself
In these discussions, sometimes you tell each other things you don’t really want to, and end up turning the day worse than it could ever be
Usually, the day after these discussions, Will wakes up and holds you tight, feeling your hair against his chin and solving your smell, waking you up for one of those baths that heals everything, where you just stay there leaking each other’s wounds, hoping the other always stays there, never letting go
Because Will loves to have baths or showers with you
He thinks it’s more intimate than sex itself, because it’s about connection and it warms his heart to have you so close to him, in such a peaceful and relaxing moment of his day
Hi loves! Could you please write a head cannon all about Will and Ben and their brotherly relationship, I think that would be so cute!
A/N: I could totally write a part 2 of this (:
Writer: Jess
Will started keeping count on everything and anything on his life when his mother told him he was gonna have a little brother
Will was only 5 years old but he asked his mother help to count how many days until he could meet his little brother
Little did they know that would become a habit
Will almost chose Benny’s name, he got beaten by his father who wanted his youngest son to call Benjamin
After his birth, Will and Benny became inseparable
Will would gladly not play with his friends if that mean he could play with his brother
When they were little, Will taught Benny this secret handshake that they’d do all the freaking time
They still do sometimes, when Benny wants to annoy Will
What Will said is truth, he has supported Benny from the day he was born
And same goes the other way around
Benny supported Will when he decided to go to the army, with the condition that Benny could go too
They got into the US Special Forces together and got out together
After picking up fights with almost everyone from his squadron and demonstrating a violent behavior, Will got a scold from his superior (that wasn’t Redfly at that time)
So they used him for another mission, and then told him to take some time off, like an absence
That’s when the supermarket episode happened
And he didn’t want to get back, because he saw what they turned him into
Benny was the only one who Will talked about how that episode made him feel, how scared and lost he was
Aftewards, Benny gave him a hug, reminding him that he wasn’t a monster or anything like that
When Will told Benny he was coming back, Benny told him that then he would leave too
He told Will it was because he didn’t feel like it anymore
But truth was he didn’t want to keep going without Will fighting by his side
Will tried to talk him into staying, tried to tell him he had a talent
But Benny don’t usually listens to Will
So he got out and started fighting
And Will didn’t like that at all
Will and Benny fought uncountable times because of Benny’s MMA career
Partly because Will still blames himself for Benny leaving the US Special Forces
He thinks Benny has an amazing talent and that’s why, in his opinion, he was the second best soldier (behind only Will himself)
And now he’s acting like a clown for those guys just for a bit of money
Benny says that Will know nothing about it, and that he likes what he does so why can’t his big brother be a little bit more supportive about that?
That’s one of the few things they fight about
Because overall, they get along pretty well, like all siblings should
Will takes care of Benny like a father takes care of his first-born child
And that includes scolding Benny when he’s being reckless about something or whenever he’s being stubborn - becaus believe me, Benny Miller is PRETTY stubborn
He gets on Will’s nerves sometimes
But their love overcomes anything
Like, Will still doesn’t like it, but he makes sure to be at every fight Benny has, cheering for his brother and supporting him
Partly because he still blames himself for Benny leaving the Special Forces, that’s true
But most of the time it’s just because he loves his brother more than anything else
On the other hand, Benny also likes to take care of Will
Even though Will says he doesn’t need someone to take care of him, Benny knows that’s not entirely true and that Will is still the same little boy who used to cry whenever he dreamed about his mother after she died
So Benny makes sure that Will is never alone
There’s a party? Benny will drag Will with him
Benny doesn’t have nothing to do on the weekend? He’ll call Will and ask him if he wants to go to the beach or do something
Benny loves motorcycles and he has an old one, that used to be from their dad
So it’s pretty common for Benny to call Will over and just be the both of them at Benny’s garage on a Sunday afternoon repairing something on the motorcycle
Even when it doesn’t need any repair
Their dad died when they were at the Special Forces, and both of them felt guilty for not being there with him during his last days of life
Benny, as always, felt and expressed his feelings more than Will ever did
Even though they became a bit distant from each other after the boys’ mother’s death, he was still their father and Benny crumbled when he realized he only had Will left now
So they made an oath to one another, to never let each other go
Hi loves, could you write a head cannon about the miller brothers backstory and just one dedicated the love they have for each other both before, during and after special forces x x x x
A/N: I didn’t really understand if you wanted two separated headcanons, so anyway, I just did one mixing everything that’s asked hahah xxx
Writer: Lari
Will got so excited he was going to have a brother that he actually ketp counting everyday until his birth - including informations about his mother: if she felt sick that day, or if she had a weird will of eating something crazy. Not knowing he would ketp accountancy of pretty much everything he cared about after that.
When Benny was born, Will was curious and kinda nervous too, so when they let him see his brother - resting in their mother’s chest, sleeping deeply -, he just sat on the bed by her side and watched him quietly.
Will was observing everything about . His pretty little fingers and toes, wrapped in a blue blanket, his breath - slow and peacefull. They’re parents almost cried - in fact, they cried a little bit - when Will unconsciously smiled when little Benny moved his hands in the air for a while, turning back to his sleep afterwards.
Will wasn’t the kind of brother that felt jealous of the other after his birth. At first, he was all around their mother, just to see how she treated him and took care of him, and also to observe his expressions and things he didn’t like.
After a while, Will was taking care of Benny almost by himself, and he got very protective about him, especially when he learned to walk.
They would do everything together, and Will never felt upset at all to cancel his childish appointments to stay whit his brother.
After their mother’s death, everything just turned upside down. Benny was still too young to know she wasn’t coming back - only five years old -, and Will, at his 9, was old enough not to cry in front of their father.
But the truth is that Will had the hardest time of his life in that moment. He’s always been too attached to people he loves. He grows strong roots of love inside him - even if no one notices -, solid, intense and quite like a wave forming far away, but never breaking at the coast.
When he lost his mother, it was like this big and solid wave broke right in front of him, taking his heart and all he lived for with it.
He got so confused and introspective, that he almost didn’t notice that Benny was right there, suffering too. Suddenly, he knew he had one more reason to live for, and then he just let the roots of his love for his little brother raise and grow as never before.
In the other hand, their father didn’t think the same way. He didn’t get addicted to drugs of anything like this, but he wasn’t the same man he was when his wife was with them. He did everything a father should do - left his boys at school every day, and picked them up too; always gave them money to buy candy; didn’t let them go to a party if it seemed weird and dangerous. But it wasn’t with care and love - it was just because it’s a roll of a father. Just it.
By the time they were old enough, Will couldn’t stand more of that. He just couldn’t live with that cold care their father gave them everyday after their mother’s death.
Benny just didn’t care - if Will was with him, he really didn’t care their father wasn’t caring enough.
And so one day Will told Benny he wanted to go to the military. He wanted something more, something he didn’t know what was, but that he claimed he would figure out and that was his chance.
Benny, as always, just said that it was ok only if he could go too. They have this thing unsaid but always kept between them: Will, even though is the big brother, always sick for Benny’s help and thoughts about some big decision he has to make; in the other hand, Benny almost always gets in with everything Will wants to do, not caring how dangerous or boring it can be - sometimes just because his big brother is doing and he wants to do too; sometimes because it’s his big brother and he doesn’t want to leave him alone. And sometimes because both the reasons, like in this case.
Will had his worries, but it turned out better than he could imagine. He knew the love he got for his brother - he loved him more than anything in the world; but when they got into training for military - and even more after that, when they went to actual missions -, he just became more aware of this strong feeling.
In every test they had difficulty on accomplishing, in every night they couldn’t sleep well because of some harsh training - in every of those moments he just could feel how much he was never gonna last a week in that place without Benny. Not because he couldn’t complete the training, but because the unspoken care and love each one provided to one another was essential to their survival.
Will never knew how to put that in words - that’s why he never did and Benny either, but both of them always understood. Because it was intrinsic to them, too obvious - and too precious.
There is always that moment when they were all covered in dirt, surround by the enemy, just trying not to get caught, and they just look at each other - just for a second -, and realize everything is going to be just fine. That somehow they’re going to get out of there, no matter what. Because they’re together. Because it’s them against the world. And it I’ll always be.
