Super duper rough draft since I'm just trying to get a gist of this scene. I swear it won't be this rough after editing lol.
'Stop, please stop.' Wels thought. 'You shouldn't be telling me any of this.' But Etho continued on as if interpreting the other man's silence for permission, or maybe it was his nerves rearing up and making him feel as if he had to fill the quiet air between them. "I was in and out of it for days cause of the meds. Bdubs said them having to wire my jaw was pretty freaky but my whole eye thing probably was the grossest in his opinion. The older man's rambling came to a stop as he must have looked back to see Wels no longer by his side, his footsteps growing in volume as he circled back and rushed to Wels. "Wels?" Wels pressed the palms of his hands more firmly into his eyes, the pressure behind his lids feeling almost like a dam. "Why -" he choked out, swallowing thickly. "Would you tell me that? I don't - we don't know one another like that, why would you - you don't owe me that." He heard Etho sigh before a hand pressed lightly against his shoulder, squeezing softly despite the flinch. "I know that. I did it cause I wanted to." Wels could feel Etho lean forward slightly, the other man's hair tickling his cheek as he gave Wels' shoulder another squeeze. "I said it cause I get it if your hand thing is like my eye thing. Like I really get it man." 'No. I don't think you do.'
