Instead, he gives a sympathetic, yet shy smile, and he cups Will's cheek and strokes the bone under his eye, the touch light and gentle.]
It's okay... Really, it is. I... sort of know? I only read about it... But I know the where and how, at least.
[He pauses, debating with himself, before he gives Will's forehead a little nudge with his own.] I can tell you what to do. [His smile widens, more teasing now.] It's a little weird - it really is, but if you stick with me? It'll be really, really good. I promise.
lolol
