Ed thanked Poseidon that Will's punch didn't connect because if it had then
it probably would have been lights out and he did not have the sort of face
that looked better with a black eye. He should have known that Will was
too drunk to actually make contact though when he had called out their dead
brother's name. Henry would know what to do here, he'd know how to handle
the situation to calm Will down and then be there for him. But Henry
wasn't there anymore. Just Ed.
"It's been three days," Ed said before reaching down and hauling
Will to his feet. Once with brother was standing, Ed stripped off his
trench coat and threw it at Will. "Don't you ever, ever disappear like
that again. Not- not after Henry. Just- don't. Please."
And if Ed had to wipe away a few years, so what? He was the baby of the
family after all and if he wanted to cry at the idea of losing another
brother he would damn well do it.
