"I do not wish to win. I only wish to have you safe and whole, Finlay,"
Willy replied. "And to do so, I think first we must discover what is
happening to you."
"I think it would be best to get you home. From there I can call Sunny, or
call her tomorrow and tonight we can simply rest," he said. Whatever it was
that was gripping Fin would not likely go away, but it didn't seem
immediately dangerous. Surely they had time for peace tonight.
"...But it was enough to frighten you," he surmised. Will kept his arm
around Fin and lead him toward home. He knew there were dark forces in this
world. Dark magics, dark spirits, and then there were the demons that
walked to world that had nothing to do with Willy's realm. Too many
dangers, and Fin was just one terribly fragile man caught up in the chaos
of it all.
"I'd give anything to just be normal again. Whole, human... Normal," Fin said quietly. "That's never going t happen, is it? Even if- Even if we manage to get rid of this thing inside of me. There's always going to be the heart. There's always going to be some catch, some miserable downside..."
"I do not believe you are fated to be normal," Willy said. "But you
are human and you are whole. What you would wish for I do not think
even my mother, the queen, could give you...and if she could the cost would
be unbearable."
"No offence, Will, but I wouldn't ask your mum for a penny to use the loo.
I'm certainly not about to ask her for anything life changing," Fin replied.
"None taken...I do not think she would help you, either. I do not know if
it is worse you two do not see eye to eye or if it would be worse if you
colluded against, me," he chuckled.
"But it is the only word we have," he replied with a smile. "And so that
small word must do the work of twenty words all on its own. It barely
scratches the surface of how utterly devoted I am to you, as well."
Fin let the kiss linger, letting it warm him, then slowly pulled back.
"Come on, one more block, then we can just...forget all this. At least a
for a bit."
"An excellent idea. Let's get in out of the cold and the damp," he agreed
with a nod. He kept an arm around Fin as they started out again, just to
make sure he was alright.

"Fine, alright. You win Will," he said quietly.

Date: 2016-05-12 01:19 am (UTC)Fin was silent for a long moment, then sighed.
"I know. I'm sorry. I'm just- I ache. My bones are so fragile already, and they feel like they might shatter."

It was wise to be frightened.

Re: Monday Night
Date: 2016-05-12 02:36 am (UTC)"I must say I am happy I will not have to worry about that," he said warmly. "I am fine with that. As long as you love me then I am happy and whole."

Re: Monday Night
Date: 2016-05-12 02:53 am (UTC)Fin pushed up on his toes then, despite the ache in his bones and his pounding skull, and pressed a kiss to Will's cheek.
Re: Monday Night
Date: 2016-05-12 02:58 am (UTC)Willy caught him, winding his arms around him, and bent to meet him.
"Oh, my love," he said softly, then kissed him properly.
