"Gone fishing."
[ so don't leave messages to ruin the after fishing glow !!!
your one stop shop for not leaving him alone, previous contact post can be found here ]

No, you didn't. [There isn't a waver in Will's voice.] It was taken from you. In small, gradual increments. Then completely, all at once.
[If he sounds like the voice of experience with this, good. Perhaps there is some projection going on, but it's all very personal to Will.]
That's what'll eat you alive, if you try to unravel where and when everything happened. Kill you more than a bullet to the head.
[Kill you on the inside.]
no subject
There's nodding, judging by the shift of his head against Will (or maybe he's just using that time to wipe his eyes on his bro) but he's not entirely sure what to say to that. Will sounds like he speaks from experience, but maybe that's just Will; the empathetic guru who knows way too much. Perhaps it's not experience but understanding that has him getting it so well.]
Sorry.
[Finally muttered as he decides to speak. Vague and muffled and not even entirely certain what he's sorry for, except EVERYTHING.]
no subject
You're good. [He mumbles in place of anything else. It's easier to just forgive instead of put up protests about how Jeff has nothing to be sorry for, to wrap both of those in one go without making it super obvious. If Jeff and Will weren't good, Jeff would know. Perhaps brutally.] Glad you're back. We missed you.
no subject
He sniffles, lifts his head, chin propped up on Will's shoulder in the damp patch he's left and still keeps his hold, because he may be done with totallynotactuallycrying, but he sure as hell isn't done with hugs.]
Missed you more, buddy. [Okay so maybe he can be encouraged to let go. Eventually. Maybe. When he's not busy thinking deeply.] Y'know I've been thinking... maybe I need to work on my powers a little more. [Because can a bullet kill hulk Jeff? He's not sure, but he'd sure as hell feel safer with the concept of super strength on demand. Shit, why didn't he just shoot Walt in the eye with a paintball?! That might have at least helped.]
no subject
That's a good idea. [Shoulder squeeze for his best buddy, yep.] You need any help, let me know. We'll find a way to get you on top of them.
[Some people fear their powers. Some love them, some hate them, some have had them all their lives. For Will, there had always been a mix...until he'd just accepted them.]
no subject
Will's reaction is encouraging, like it's definitely something Jeff should be doing.]
If you ever got the time... I dunno anything about how to make stuff like powers work or not work. Not exactly something I'm used to. [He needs all the help he can get, and he definitely needs someone there throwing compliments at him. Will is a pro at bringing out the hulk.] Whatever. Maybe we can sort something out later. I kinda just wanna sleep for the next few days.
no subject
[Boy does he ever, both with the whole inner beast aspect and getting powers down. If they run into anything new or difficult to understand, there are people he can call. Ask, meet up with, whatever is necessary. They're fortunately stuck with quite a few others who are familiar with powers, so. Push comes to shove, they can ask the entire Network and put it all out there.
Will snags up a bit of fruit from that garnished plate, popping it into his mouth while the other grabs the plate itself and points to the kitchen table.]
Or you wanna do breakfast in bed?
[As if April and Will don't do the same thing. He couldn't care less if the people in their house eat in their rooms. That's their space but, really, before anything can become a sad pile attracting pests and growing diseases all over the place, a raccoon will have noticed it and brought dishes to the kitchen. Raccoon, human, whatever, it'll be taken care of. It's fine.
Jeff's state of being is always more important than dishes anyway.]
no subject
[Will can carry the plate, Jeff is bringing his own coffee as he slinks into a chair, huddled forward and tired looking. He's still not hungry, but he knows he should at least attempt to eat something before going into hibernation.]
It's early, you should go back to bed, or whatever it is you do at this time.
no subject
Yeah. Need a shower.
[He opts for with a nod, taking a sip from that slightly-busted mug as he moves past Jeff. One hand goes to Jeff's shoulder as he does so, a friendly, supportive squeeze before he's gone. You know where to find us if you need anything.]
no subject
Thanks. [Mumbled as his gaze lifts towards Will during that shoulder squeeze. A simple thank you doesn't seem like enough, but it's the only thing that he can offer right now.
And as Will retreats, Winger turns his attention to the food before him, picking at it idly in silence until he'll eventually choose to drag his way to his own bedroom.]
