@ritterlich sent : you told me it was a scratch , this is not a fucking scratch!
scott had expected this reaction - and he knows it wasn't fair to lie to him , but wil had been about to get on a flight just after it happened and he hadn't wanted to worry him unnecessarily. not about this. IT'S THE WORST SERIES OF INJURIES HE'S EVER HAD , and in hindsight , saying it was just a scratch when he'd been in a fucking car crash that had ended with a broken leg and bone showing - was a pretty stupid thing to do.
"i know okay , i fucked up! but i didn't want you sitting on that plane , thinking i was dying or some shit. i couldn't -" wil has lost too many people ; fought tooth and nail to get through some serious shit and scott couldn't add to that. he wouldn't. he's sitting in a hospital bed , after having surgery just a few hours ago. the drugs they'd given him were keeping the pain at bay , but making it very hard to think straight.
all he can do is watch as wil seems to fall apart - exactly as scott had expected. he holds his hand out as if to say 'i'm here , i'm alive , i'm with you'. he doesn't mention the broken ribs yet , he's not sure that wil could process that , the arm fracture and broken leg were on display and that felt like enough.
"wil....baby look at me." his voice is soft now. "i'm sorry , it was a dick move. i thought i was protecting you."
@ritterlich liked for a small starter from luca
" it's my day off , so ...i made breakfast." a plant based omlet for wil - and chicken nuggets for scott because he was going through a safe food phase & luca did not judge. "also , started the coffee." AND MAYBE HAD MORE THAN ONE CUP HIMSELF - but then he's expecting to be called in ( one of his interns was slightly more nervous than most ).
@ritterlich sent : it's you. it's only ever going to be you.
it's like a dam breaking - that moment when scott realises everything he's been searching for , is right in front of him. his fingers brush slowly against wilhem's jaw ; bright eyes searching his. ( he feels like he's missed every sign - every thing pointing towards this ). his forehead rests against his best friends and he takes a shaky breath. he caresses every part of his face he can reach - trying to sort out every thought thats spinning around in his head like a carousel.
he feels it in his chest. 'it's only going to be you' - that was mutual. EVERY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP SCOTT HAS HAD , has failed , but one thing has been consistent. wil. always there. always having his back. loving him , silently whilst scott was struggling to piece things together.
fuck running - there's no way he's going to give this chance up. leaning forwards , his lips press against wil's with an urgency he hasn't felt in a long time. HIS HEART RACES , face flushing slightly. it's like a vow in a way ( 'im yours' ).
@ritterlich gets something small & soft for wil from aaron bond
he's only been in the room for a minute & he can already tell wil's close to cracking ( aaron can guess why too ; it's the same answer as always ). "okay , what's he done now?" MORE IMPORTANTLY , was james playing dead again? because aaron really didn't want to have to fake grieve , it was getting boring.
@ritterlich gets something small & soft for wil from scott
" don't come in!" scott scrambles to move towards the bedroom door. "i mean technically you can't - i started cleaning up y'know? and then i got distracted , give me a second." IT TAKES A MOMENT ( at least five minutes ) , to pull the bedside table away from the door , before he can open it. "okay , so....uh...on a scale of one to ten , how much trouble am i in?"
@ritterlich gets something small & soft for wil from ilya
" why are you out of bed?" eyes narrow - brows furrow and ilya spreads his arms to hide the breakfast tray behind him. "jonas is at school - no hockey practice today. shoo." as if to make their point , ilya gestures towards the bedroom ( they think wil makes it impossible for him to do nice things for him , on purpose ).
→ @ritterlich said: " Don't give me the eyeroll. I stand by it. " 😂😂✌🏼
Just to make her point she rolled her eyes again, this time without turning her head away in annoyance. " And I, " she began, crossing her arms across her chest, " stand by the fact that you are being RIDICULOUS. " And how easy that was for her to say. Always on the defence, always all too ready to jump at any chance to argue for her superiority in any way no matter how trivial the occasion was. It was for her own protection though the habit had extended itself to any argument she engaged with. It was hard to shed the desire to prevent a catastrophe by arguing her case even when there was little to NO need to actually do so.
After all, they were surrounded by allies, friends even, though she might be more hesitant to hand out that label to any of them ( never feeling safe anywhere, hm? waiting for one of them to wise up to how much money they'd make by betraying you? ). She shook her head. " No, I think I will KEEP rolling my eyes at you for as long as you spout such nonsense, frankly. " And who was he to demand she keep her thoughts to herself, hm? Especially when she was involved in the conversation.
