Main street [OPEN TO ALL]
"I hope you're satisfied with our arrangement, I know I am." her voice intoned, sly and bemused but cracked with age. Her face pulled back in a grim satisfied line as Will winced and cleared his throat. Watching her hand tighten around the deeds, she nodded before taking the mostly healed heart before placing it against his chest. "This will hurt, love inevitably does."
Will pressed his hands into the chair, his grip tightening as the two younger women held him down as their grandmother pressed his heart back into his chest. The pressure, the pain, the feeling made him gasp and push against their hold until it was done. His heart was his own again, the feeling of hurt and loss and despair gone finally.
"Next time dearie, don't make deals with the devil or a sea witch. And remind your brother he's to come visit me, such a handsome young man." Will collapsed forward as the two women let go of him, one rushing to collect their grandmother's things and the other looking at him calculatingly. As if assessing his worth. "Now, whatever shall I do with all this land? Well, we'll soon see won't we?"
Will stood up blearily taking two steps into the sunlight as the matriarch of Harpy Bay stepped into her car and her granddaughters followed suit. Taking out his phone he sent a text out to those who might want to know that he had It back before collapsing, shirtless of course, to the floor in the street outside.

Ed tore out of the house the instant he got the text from his brother. He wished that Will would have told him what he was doing so that Ed could be there for him. Viola might not exactly like Ed but she didn't seem to mind him too much. Plus someone should be there so Will didn't do anything more stupid.
When he found his brother on the ground though all other thoughts fled his mind. Had the Sea Witch done something to Will when she gave him his heart back?
"Oh god, please tell me you're alright," he said, rushing to Will's side and kneeling down.

"I'm alright, just knocked the breath right out of me. What is it with women? They never go easy on a guy," Will said, clasping his hand on Ed's shoulder. Looking at his brother, he smiled easily at him before pushing himself up onto unsteady feet. "Stop worrying about me little brother, pretty sure that's my job."

Ed immediately noticed that Will was different. There was something in his eyes that Ed hadn't seen in a while. His brother definitely had his heart back, even if it had knocked him for a bit of a loop getting it. Ed didn't care though, he had his brother back and that was all that matter.
"I missed you," he said, grabbing his brother in a crushing hug. "I'm glad you're back."

"I didn't go anywhere, well not really. You know I think selling my heart to that woman was a good idea, I feel... good." Will said, letting go of his baby brother and ruffling his hair affectionately.

"You were gone. You were here but it wasn't you, not really," Ed said. Of course, having been the person missing his heart maybe Will couldn't really see that. It didn't matter now though because his brother was back and that was all that mattered. Well, mostly what mattered.
"Oh, well, I'm glad the whole experience was so enjoyable for you because, you know, the rest of us weren't freaking out," Ed said, punching Will in the shoulder for good measure.

Ed didn't think that Will had it under control at all, but he was too happy at the moment to harp on that point. Maybe it wasn't really his place to call Will out on that anyway. Hopefully their father would. Someone had to.
"I don't want to hurt you. Who knows, if I hit your arm too hard you might to give it to Nerium or something."
