so he clings back, just as tightly, hooks his chin over eddie's shoulder, barely conscious of how he's shivering all over. residual adrenaline and relief and joy at them finding each other again, even if it's in a place like deerington. the unfinished sentence makes will shake his head once, hard. he doesn't want to think about that.]
I'm right here. I'm. I'm here again. [he should be terrified. this place is terrifying. so why is he smiling and breathlessly laughing like this is the best thing that's happened to him in years?]
