Sequel to this thing; let's see how many lines from the most recent episode of The Amazing Digital Circus I can find from Jax that remind me of Dabi (and or lines from other characters that remind me of associates of Dabi. Hope you like the sound of Fudge For One).

~~~~

Dabi, seeing the League's new 'War Rig' run someone over as it pulls into a lot: Ooo, violence. I call shotgun! *Get in and honks the horn, producing the most disappointing noise you've ever heard* Oh god is that the horn? That sucks. Spinner you drive. *Pulls Spinner into the dirver's seat as he moves over.*

~~~~

Dabi: Okay Spinner, when we catch up to them, I'll jump over, crawl inside, and burn them repeatedly until they're unrecognizable.

Spinner: I fell like that violates some kind of convention.

Dabi: You're violating my ears with your clapback, get driving driver.

~~~~

Twice: So, Skeptic, I'm sure there's someway you could help out here. Maybe when we catch up to them we could-

Dabi: you could be assertive. like this!

Dabi grabs Skeptic and tosses him out the window at the enemy vehicle. Skeptic grabs hold of both vehicles, stretching his lanky body to its limits.

Dabi: Ah, that's perfect, just hold that pose.

Skeptic: Dabi you a**hole!

~~~~

Dabi: Alright Skeptic, you just stay like that and I'll cross over.

Skeptic: Are you kidding me! *A bump in the rode cause him to lose his grip on the war rig and get flung on top of the enemy truck*

Dabi: Nice going Skeptic, now I have no bridge.

~~~~

Dabi: Hey Spinner, you should ram into them.

Spinner: What?

Geten: You should not ram into them, Skeptic's still on board- *Gets shoved into the back by Dabi*

Dabi: Do it, it'll be epic!

Geten: Why are there so many knives back here!?

Dabi, quietly: Do it or I'll tell boss about the figurine thing.

Spinner, worried: Guh, hehehehe. *slowly turn the war rig to ramming position.*

~~~~

Dabi, seeing spikes along the enemy vehicle: Aww, no more ramming? Guess I have to tell Shigaraki about the thing now.

Spinner, poking his head out the window: What?!

Skeptic: Guuuuuys?

Twice: Skeptic, take this! *Throws an anchor on a rope from the war rig directly over the truck Skeptic is on and off a cliff*

Dabi, after a bit of the rope going out: Hey Twice, is that rope attached to anything?

Twice: Uh, I don't know. Let me check. *Finds out it is the hard way.*

~~~~

Spinner: Oh man, poor Skeptic, I hope he's alright.

Dabi: Poor Skeptic? How about poor us? We're one tanker away from getting Augustus Glooped.

~~~~

AFO: I used to live in civilization proper, but I was chased out by that rotten All Might after liberating too many interesting quirks from their human hosts. Oh, they were all such fun. Sometimes, I can hear them...calling to me...

Spinner: Oh wow, that just sounds like theft & maybe murder.

AFO: Is it really theft & murder if it's fun and profitable? Answer me that.

Dabi: You make a great point.

Geten: Uh, no, bad point!

Dabi: Why don't you leave this to me before I start thinking your quirk seems cool and powerful.

Geten: Dabi!

Dabi; Well Mr. For One, You seem like an upstanding guy with real noble goals.

AFO; Oh I'm not. If you knew what I did in my free time, oh you'd be sickened.

Dabi: *clears throat* As I was saying...

~~~~

Dabi: Gotta say, this is a lot more anti-climactic than I was hoping it'd be.

Twice: What were you hoping for?

Dabi: Y'know, like, one big final battle. Bloodshed. Death. Chaos! (The humiliation of my father and brother.) Whatever.

[osleeplessflowero]

Day 1: Decorating + Pumpkin Carving🎃

You wake up in your bed a liiiittle bit too early, but once you remember that it's now officially October, you couldn't bring yourself to go back to sleep.

Since the universe decided to wake you up on its own, you're gonna make it everyone's problem.

You get up from the bed, changing into your clothes for the day and immediately walking to Killer's room, knocking on the door for a bit before it opens to reveal a just-woken-up Killer, rubbing his eyesockets.

"huh- what- what's going on- did nightmare need us to go out or something-"

"Good morning, Killer-"

"oh, hey. so what's the reason for waking me up?"

"It's October- We must decorate for Halloween!"

"..this early?"

"Yes, this early. We should decorate the castle before everyone wakes up to surprise them. And you were the first person I could think of to join me." 

"...can we set up pranks for everyone-"

"Yes, Killer- But they have to be on theme, remember that."

"i can work with that. okay, let me change-"

You wait outside his door as he changes into his usual attire, before walking out of his room and spinning his knife around.

"where to first?"

You eagerly grab his hand and run to your room, grabbing a few boxes of decorations you've been saving since you started living at the castle. 

"we're probably gonna need more than that-"

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Now hold this." You hand him a fake spider web, moving the boxes out into the hall.

He simply chuckles and walks out after you, leaning back a bit before jumping up and hanging the spider web along the wall.

You take some smaller props and place them around, like small obviously-fake spiders in the most random places you could think of.

"what are the pumpkins for? like these are real."

"We're gonna carve them, obviously-"

"you still carve pumpkins?"

"Uh, obviously- come on, it could be fun. And I'm sure you'd be able to carve one with ease considering your skills."

Killer looks at his knife before looking back to you.

"yeah, alright. just let me move 'em before they get smashed or something."

You look through the box, putting up some mini (properly clothed) skeletons. (If they weren't, that'd certainly be scandalous..)

Killer takes some more of the spider web material, hanging it around Dust's doorway and taking some mini spiders from you, placing them in it. 

"How's this one gonna work?"

"simple. opens the door, face-to-face with spiders in a tired state. let the chaos commence."

"I like it-"

You take some toilet paper and throw it around, jumping up and trying to make sure it stays in place, dangling above the two of you. You tend to fall a few times until Killer just uses his magic to lift you up via your soul, which makes things easier. Once you've hung it up properly, you give him a thumbs up, and he puts you down to grab something else. 

You dim the lights in the halls, hanging up some pumpkin lights once Killer lifts you again, illuminating the hallways with a calm orange glow. A nice contrast to the usual color. 

You place some bats above the skeletons' doors as Killer sets up a can of silly string to go off in front of Horror's.

You pour out some fake blood under your door, putting some caution tape around it for both the effect and so no one steps in it while it dries. 

"Oh, I missed a bat- Killer, help me-"

"again?" 

"Yes."

He lifts you up. 

"where?"

"Nightmare's door."

"you got a death wish?"

"Might. It'd be fun-"

"if you say so." He lifts you over to Nightmare's door, and you carefully hang the bat above it. The door to his room is fairly big, so it's difficult to reach the top without assistance. 

As you carefully adjust the bat, Nightmare's door opens and you pull your knees up. 

"The hell's going on out here?" He observes the decorations you've placed. 

Killer, having not been paying attention, is startled and loses focus, letting go of his hold on your soul. 

You fall down with a surprised scream, before Nightmare catches you in his arms. 

"Morning, Night. Nice save." You smile at him before he puts you down. 

"Morning. Now answer my question."

"We're decorating for Halloween since it's October. So far we've only decorated this hallway, but we're gonna move to the other spaces." 

"Isn't it awfully early for something like that?"

"It's never too early."

"If you say so. Just don't decorate my office, I like keeping it clean."

"you've got it, boss-" 

"ah fuck- KILLER-"

"oh hey, dust woke up-"

"I didn't think you enjoyed Halloween this much." Nightmare turns to you.

"Halloween's super fun! Eating candy, dressing up in costumes, decorating, watching horror movies, carving pumpkins- there's lots you can do."

"Hmm..fair enough. Well, just keep doing what you're doing, I'll allow it as long as it doesn't mess up my work."

"You got it." You give him a mock salute as he makes his way to the kitchen to get some coffee.

"i thought he wouldn't like it."

"Same-"

Dust walks out of his room after cutting down the webs around his doorway, stepping out.

"like that one, dust? i put a lot of work into it."

"not your best work."

"oh COME ON-" 

Horror exits shortly after, unfazed by the amount of silly string that just shot all over him. 

"oh..is it halloween? did i miss a couple of days?" He puts his head up to the side of his skull that doesn't have a crack in it. 

"No no, it's only the first of October, Horror. You're good." 

"oh, good. can i help you?" He looks at you specifically, ignoring the other skeletons in the room.

"Of course- before we continue decorating the rest of the castle..why don't we take a break to do some pumpkin carving? We could show off our work to each other."

"i haven't done that in..years-"

"come on guys, we can see which one of us has the best design."

You motion for everyone to follow you, picking up one of the pumpkins you bought. Killer grabs two of them, and Horror holds one with ease. Dust didn't care to carry anything, so he just followed along. 

You make your way into the kitchen, sitting the pumpkins down on the table in there, before grabbing some knives and carving kits. You lay out some old newspapers and place the pumpkins on them.

"So do you guys wanna just wing it or follow a pattern on one of these sheets?"

"wing it, it's more creative." Killer points finger guns at you.

"Improvising it is." You close the small book of patterns, cutting the top off of your pumpkin of choice. 

Horror stands beside you to watch, the other skeletons across from you doing the same thing to their pumpkins. 

"Alright, time for the gross part." You reach your hand into the pumpkin, beginning to remove the seeds. 

"don't they make like..scoops for this-" Dust observes you.

"Yeah but it's kinda fun to do it with your hands, even if it's a bit gross. There should be scoops over there with the kit if you guys wanna use them, though."

Horror completely ignores them and just shoves his hand into his pumpkin, doing the same thing you are, pulling out the seeds and guts.

This process continues for a while until everyone's cleaned out their pumpkins, beginning the process. 

Killer decides to go for a cat design, Dust keeping it simple and carving out a classic face with triangle eyes. Horror decided to make the pumpkin into a house, adjusting it to build a small door on the side. He then places a mini pumpkin you got as a decoration in there, drawing a face on it with a sharpie. 

"is that a reference to the one meme-"

"yes."

"nice-"

"mhm."

You stand there a moment, trying to think of what you want to carve onto your pumpkin. What to choose, what to choose..

Then an idea hits you, and you get to work, using the carving kit for more precise carving. When everyone finishes theirs, they try to peek and see what you're working on, but you turn the pumpkin away. 

"Eyelights off until I'm done."

"the curiosity is killing me- let me seee-"

"Nope, not until it's done, Killer." 

Nightmare enters the room, leaning on the counter to observe the group. 

"Alright, there." 

You turn your pumpkin around so everyone can see, showcasing some mini skeletons, each carved to look like members of the group. 

"Like it?"

Killer gives you some thumbs up, Dust gives you a small smile, and Horror admires your craftsmanship. 

Nightmare puts his hand over his mouth, not showing the smile beneath it at your goofy little carvings. 

"I've succeeded then- we've got our pumpkins for the month. Let's go put them outside- last one out's a rotten egg!" You run out holding your pumpkin, the others chasing you down, and Nightmare walking behind each of you with an amused look. 

Everyone having fun is a nice change of pace. He'll let them have this.

Me low-key thinking about yandere Hughie and Butcher again. cw: Butcher saying that an author should kill themself

We've already established that Hughie thinks Butcher's recklessness/instability will get you killed, Butcher thinks that Hughie's quote on quote 'pussy attitude' will get you killed.

Reader met Hughie first.

Hughie most likely met you at a comic or retro video game shop. He was stressed and thought maybe seeing some cool old stuff would help. He bumped into you and he was like 'wow'. He got this weird feeling. It was the same feeling he got when he first saw Robin.

He nervously got your number (somehow) and tried to keep it from the others.

Of course Butcher found out!

"Oi, ya twink, how you get this darling's number? Seems out of your league. Ain't you fucking sweet ole orphan Annie over there?"

Hughie runs over and awkwardly waves to Annie and wants to jump off a bridge, for like the third time this week. (It's Monday for him.)

"Shh, we're taking a break! They just seemed nice, okay?"

"Doubt it. No chick like this would talk to someone like you unless they wanted something."

"Hey! I have charm. And charisma."

"You got just as much as the ugly ass duckling from that one book."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"No—I wished that fucking twat killed themself."

"It's a fictional duck, Butcher!?"

"I was talking about the author. No one should make such a shitty book and live."

Sooooooooooo the cat is out of the bag now.

It was just a shallow crush Hughie had on you until Butcher knew about you. Hughie started feeling oddly protective and possessive. Butcher doesn't know anything about you! Why is he being so nosey?

"Why am I even talking to you? I could get you killed! Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

That you are Hughie, that you are.

Hughie continued to meet you in secret. You got in bad trouble with some people who wanted The Boys dead. Everyone had to save you.

Which triggered Butcher's ptsd from Becca. What the hell was the kid thinking!? Of course Hughie can't take care of you. He can't just throw you back out on the street. You look like a stray dog.

So you joined The Boys. (you had to join them. you had no choice.)

And it is just a constant fight between Hughie trying to impress you in his awkward, nervous boyish way... and Butcher sweeps you off your feet with flirtatious remarks and a protective presence always near you.

Butcher is scary dog privileges. Just make sure to keep a hold of his leash. Shut him up with a kiss.

Butcher obviously will kill for you.

Hughie would, but it'd kinda be like Translucent all over again.

Still... MHM

Imagine walking into some sketchy place and having Butcher and Hughie near you. Hughie got anxious so you are holding his hand and he's standing on one side of you. He's kind of leaning over onto your shoulder a bit. (He looks like a kid needing his mother's warmth and protection.)

Butcher has his hand around your waist. He's got his 'I will fuck anyone up' face. He's also glaring at Hughie and almost growling in anger. He's purposefully using cute nicknames with you 'darling, babe, doll- doll is his favorite'. Prince(ss) is the one where YOU KNOW smth is about to happen.

So you just have two boyfriends now. They won't leave you alone, but at least you're protected now. The entirety of The Boys is gonna have to be killed before anyone touches you. (Butcher and Hughie fight less if you are giving them equal attention, and Butcher is in a better mood-and they saw what happened with Becca... so it's a silent understood agreement.)

Trouble?

Get you out first.

Kimiko is usually the one that does so because of her abilities.

Okay okay I’m finally back online and of course this is gonna be the first ask I reply to!! And honest to FREAKIN’ god- this headcannon is actually so much more interesting and fun to read than the new episode they released today y’all 😭😭😭😭

Off the bat, LOVE the convo between butcher and Hughie. I could literally hear it in their voices so accurately 😂

I feel like it’d be a reoccurring argument too, no doubt about that. But especially with the parts where reader gets involved and dragged into their business just from (barely) being associated with the group. From that alone, the tension would heat up fo sureeee. ((Especially from Butcher’s side, cuz like you said “Becca”

But there would be tension in other ways too, like how Butcher could ensure their physical safety better than Hughie, which in return would make Hughie feel insecure and incompetent, even more so than usual. Meanwhile, the way Hughie is able to be effortlessly vulnerable and pour his heart out to reader would contrast starkly with Butcher’s own brutish and borderline cruel behaviors, since he’s not really known for his moral compass. And perhaps Butcher might be afraid it’d be a turn off for reader, which could actually be the case at times if he goes too far.

So it’d be a very interesting dynamic that would potentially strain their friendship on the occasion (which is already kinda a thing in the show to begin with)

But at the same time, this dynamic surprisingly still works pretty well though. I feel like they both can be “too much” in their own ways, so together they could balance each other out for reader. After all, teamwork makes the dreamwork yk 😭

Also kinda going off course here, but can we talk about Annie for a second? LIKE POOR GIRL LMAOAOOO. It shouldn’t crack me up but the way Hughie is brushing her off???

CRIMINAL. THAT IS CRIMINAL 😭😭😭💀💀💀

Fantasia of the Bookstore Following Footsteps into the Future Chapter 5

Previous Chapter

Murr: Guuuuys! Over here, over here! I'm pretty sure this is the place where those old bags were kicking up a fuss 'cause they saw a weird bird!

Chloe: Uwah… It's super creepy and gloomy here.

Rustica: Fufu. It's so exciting not knowing what might jump out at you, isn't it? Do you think the books are excited as well? I'd love to ask them when we meet.

Shylock: We'll just have to find them so you can do just that, then. The first step, of course, is actually making sure if one might be here. I'll check for their presence with my magic. <Invibelle>

Chloe: Ah, Shylock's smoke is floating over to those bushes…

Murr: There's one of the flying books! It came out 'cause of the smoke! I'll go catch it!

Chloe: Woah, Murr's so fast! He caught up to it in the blink of an eye! …Wait, huh? Hey, Muuuurr! Why are you just hovering next to it and not catching iiiit?

Murr: Cause I'm gonna have a race with iiiit! Do you wanna race with us, Chloe? <Eanul Lambru>!

Chloe: What do you mean, with you… Wah!

Rustica: Oh my, now Chloe's flying in the sky as well. How delightful it must be for the two of them and that book, running through the sky without a care in the world. Do you think they would like an accompaniment?

Shylock: Yes, that sounds lovely. Please play something upbeat. We're doing very important work, so let us highlight how important it is as well to delight in times that are delightful to their full extent.

Rustica: Then I shall perform a most spirited piece.

Murr: That's Rustica's music! Makes me wanna spin and dance! C'mon, Mr. Flying Book, dance a dance with me! Tell me, are you hiding the mysteries of the world on the other side of your cover? Or maybe unforgivable secrets?

Chloe: Murr! Remember, being too rough with the books is a no-no…! Wah. It managed to avoid Murr, and now it's coming this way! I've got be careful… There!

Chloe: …! Yes, I got it!

Murr: Nice catch, Chloe!

Chloe: Thank you! Ehehe… Let's keep on just like this and catch as many as we can!

✦✧☾✧✦

Central Citizen: A book-like bird? I saw one in this market earlier… Yes, it was just over there.

Central Citizen: I saw one over on that bridge that leads to the castle. There were a whole bunch of them that way, actually…

Akira: Thank you very much for telling us about them. You've helped us out a lot.

Riquet: We're getting so many more witnesses than I thought we would.

Cain: Yeah. It's great that we won't have to go too far, either.

Akira: What shall we do? Should we split into another two groups here?

Arthur: That seems like it would be easiest. Lord Oz, how do you think we should split up?

Oz: …That will be unnecessary. I will finish things here and now.

Cain: Okay, hold on. It's true that you could round them all up in half a second, but we don't know exactly where they flew off to after they were sighted. It'd be a better idea to split our forces here. Even you can't be in two places at once. Riquet, Master Sage, and I will take the bridge. Oz and Arthur, you can take the marketplace. Sound good?

Arthur: Yes, I've got no objections.

Riquet & Akira: Of course!

Cain: Then that settles that. And Oz? I'm leaving my master in your hands.

Oz: …I am aware.

Arthur: We shouldn't be going too far outside the capital marketplace, so you don't need to worry! But Cain, Riquet, please look after the Sage.

Riquet: Of course, you can leave it to us!

Arthur: Now then, let us be off to return Hugo's precious books to where they belong!

Cain & Riquet & Akira: Yeah!

✦✧☾✧✦

After we parted with Arthur and Oz, Cain, Riquet, and I walked to the bridge we'd heard about.

Akira: Ah, there they are! There's a whole flock of them, just like we heard.

Riquet: But if we flew over on our brooms and caused a tornado, the castle gatekeepers would likely get suspicious of what we're doing…

Akira: For sure. The young-looking one with black hair is already staring at us…

Cain: A young gatekeeper with dark hair… Hey, does he have a braid?

Riquet: Yes! His hairstyle looks a lot like yours, in fact. Do you know him?

Cain: Yep. Pretty sure that's the guy I met on this bridge a while back who told me how things are going with the knights these days. Let me go see if I can negotiate.

✦✧☾✧✦

To say the black-haired gatekeeper was excited to get to shake Cain's hand would've been an understatement. He was acting like getting to shake the hero Cain's hand again was a blessing from the Goddess. And that was how Cain and Riquet got permission to use magic on the bridge.

Riquet: Now then. Let's round them all up before before they can do anywhere else!

Akira: The gatekeeper's keeping an eye out, but just in case anyone starts coming this way, I'll wave my hand to warn you!

Cain: Lots of thanks to both of you. Let's go, Riquet!

The two of them took to their brooms and lifted into the sky. They charged at the flock of books, net made from magic held between them.

Akira: (If this works how Riquet thinks it should, then we can get them all in one fell swoop…!)

But…

Riquet: Wahh…! They all started flying in the other direction!

Cain: These books are smarter than I thought!

There were so many of them fluttering around, it was almost impossible to catch any of them.

Riquet: Ah. They ran away again…! And we almost had them that time, too!

Cain: We're getting nowhere like this. Riquet, here's the new plan. Riquet, when the books all gather together again, I need you to kick up some wind. Once they're all caught up in the wind, that's when I'll catch them.

Riquet: Understood.

Riquet: <Sunrotea Edif>!

A heavy wind whirled out from Riquet's lantern, catching the books in the gust and blowing them in the same direction. Once enough of them were in the right spot, they started flying away, towards Cain.

Cain: You got this, Riquet! Now!

Riquet: Yay! We caught them!

Akira: You did great, you two!

Cain: Yeah! It's all thanks to Riquet's amazing work. Akira, can you hold onto the books for us? Since we've got a whole bunch, I'll shrink them with magic so you can tuck them in your bag. It'd be a huge pain if they started flying around again.

Akira: That's true…! I'll make sure they're safe and secure in my bag. (I'm glad we were able to catch them all without hurting any of them. But if this is how things are going, it'll be hard on the two of them to catch them all…)

Riquet: Ehehe. Don't you think I cast that spell well?

Cain: Yeah, it was great! We can definitely catch all of the books around the bridge like this.

Akira: …… (It'll be hard on them, but… If these two can keep having fun while doing it, I think they'll manage just fine.)

✦✧☾✧✦

Arthur: <Pernoctant Nixzo>! …There we go! Lord Oz, I've caught our very first book.

Oz: Yes. I saw.

Arthur: However, I can still feel the presence of several others. It seems they've spread all throughout the marketplace.

Oz: …You have gotten better at sensing magic, Arthur. I recall how when you couldn't sense my presence in the castle, you would get lost and start crying until I found you…

Arthur: Th--that only happened when I was very little. The fact that I can sense such trace amounts of magic today is all thanks to your guidance, Lord Oz. That's why I'd like to use today to show you the fruits of my training. I believe that Cain and Riquet undertook the task that awaits them at the bridge with much the same feeling in mind.

Oz: …Is that so. You are all free to do as you wish. At the moment, the books in the marketplace are single-mindedly searching for their owners. If you can catch their notice all at once… You shall be able to capture them all with their attention so strongly taken. Use a spell that would make the Western wizards proud.

Fans were nagging, desperate to know what happened to their favourite YouTuber. They were trying to find answers through everyone. Friends, family, even those who were barely connected to Will. Everyone was tight lipped. Alex had tweeted about it, "Will's not feeling to great at the moment. His next videos are pre recorded so after the last one, he won't be posting until he's better. Don't be a prick, he'll post when he's ready."

Will knew the fans were desperate. His heart broke when he read a message from his friends whilst the taxi made its way to his parents' home.

Will paid the driver and collected his stuff. He pulled his suitcase, backpack on his shoulders, a pillow under one armpit, whilst he walked Otis to the front of his childhood home.

His mum quickly ran out and hugged him. "Oh honey I'm so glad you're home!" She beamed despite the circumstances. Will knew so it wasn't to trigger anything. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Will almost cried. His mum shushed him and pulled away. She smiled sweetly before looking down at Otis.

"Now this lovely boy must be Otis!" She bent down and started stroking Otis.

"I bought his dog bed if you don't like him on the sheets." Will rambled. "I also bought my pillow, a little reminder of London. I also bought his bowls and food and toys. I didn't even think about Darcey and-"

"Honey, you're my son; not my house guest. He can sleep on the sheets. How about you unpack and I'll make us some tea?"

Will nodded before taking his stuff up to his room. He opened the door and sighed contently. Nothing had changed. The walls were still a light blue and all his old football posters were plastered on the wall. He placed the dog bed on the floor and let go of Otis so he could explore the room. Will put the pillow on the bed. He immediately started putting his clothes in the wardrobe.

A knock at the door startled him. He turned to see his mum holding Darcey by a lead.

"I figured it'd be best if they'd get introduced." She said. Will nodded and held onto Otis' lead as he walked him over to the bigger dog.

After the dogs got introduced Will's mum explained that his dad was on his way home with Will's siblings. Will had simply nodded, anxious about the inevitable "talk" that was bound to happen.

Will and his mum were watching Eastenders when the rest of their family wondered through the door. Will quickly jumped up and gave them all a hug, before lying to his siblings that he was home for a break. His brother immediately asked about YouTube and all the famous people he's met.

Later, they were all sat around the table for dinner and the conversation was flowing easily. Old memories and silly stories were brought up. Will smiled at how peaceful he was at home. It wasn't until his siblings had left the dining room that it became tense.

"Will, we should talk about what's been going on." His mum had stated quietly, worried that her other children were listening in.

"We want you to talk to us." Will's dad added and it made Will feel physically sick. "We can't have a repeat of what happened when you were sixteen okay?" Will tensed.

"You promised you'd never talk about that again." He spoke through gritted teeth.

"It needs to be spoken about, Will." His dad said.

"This is different." Will stated, anger over taking him. He had made his parents promise to never talk about what happened at age sixteen.

"How do we know it's different?" His dad's voice raised a bit. "How do we know you won't try to take your own life again, Will? How do we know?" His dad yelled.

"Shut up." Will growled.

"How do we know that you won't try to jump off that bridge again? How will we know?" His dad yelled.

"I said shut up!" Will screamed, standing up suddenly. "You said you would never talk about it again!"

Otis bounded into the room and started to try and help his owner calm down by licking his leg and nudging against him. Will was shaking as he leaned down to stroke his dog.

"I'm going to bed." Will sighed. As he walked out the room he saw his siblings all stood outside. He quickly ran upstairs and got a hold of his phone before calling up James.

"Hi, mate, everything alright?"

"Um can I rant quickly?" Will stuttered out.

"Of course."

"I just got into an argument with my dad."

"Oh."

"He brought up what happened when I was sixteen. He yelled it and they heard. My siblings heard!" Will sobbed. "He promised to never to talk about it again."

"Will... what happened when you were sixteen?"

Will froze. He hadn't told any of his friends what happened, he couldn't.

"Will?"

"I tried to kill myself, James." Will whimpered. "I was so close to jumping off that bridge."

"Oh, Will."

Will flinched. "Don't pity me."

"Will are you gonna be okay there? Or do you want to come back?"

"I need to stay, have a break."

"Will putting yourself in a place where you are uncomfortable, is gonna make everything ten times worse. I promise you."

"But I can't be in London."

"Why not?"

"I- I don't know." Will whispered. "I thought this would help, but-"

"Give it a few more days. If you need to come back to London and we'll look after you here. Okay?"

"Alright." Will whispered.

"Hey, I love you, man."

Will swallowed the lump in his throat. "Love you too."

Will hung up and laid on the bed. He stroked Otis lightly when there was a knock at his door.

"Who is it?" He asked. Slowly, his younger brother walked in. "What's up?" He sat up a little bit.

"Why are you home? I want the truth this time." His brother sighed.

"I missed you all, needed a bit of a break." Will said.

"I said the truth, Will. I saw what Alex put on Twitter. I also saw that video online of you having a panic attack." Will quickly sat up. "What's going on Will?"

Will patted a spot on his bed and his brother wondered over and sat next to Will.

"I've got anxiety. And shit's been real tough lately. Gee and Alex and all my other mates told me I needed to take a break." Will spoke quietly.

"What happened when you were sixteen? What was dad talking about?" Will's brother asked. Will felt his eyes water.

"Dad and I were talking about how, when I was sixteen, I tried to kill myself." Will stuttered.

Will was expecting questions or disgust or something bad but instead he was engulfed in a hug.

"I love you. You're my big brother and one of my best friends. Please don't leave me." His brother's voice wobbled.

"I won't. It was a long time ago anyway." Will promised and kissed the top of his brother's head. He wasn't going to kill himself but the intrusive thoughts weren't going to leave.
