..."Tha.. Parakaló.."
"Parakaló, Caleb?" The voice vibrated across his skin and Caleb shivered as Will pressed her lips against the nape of his neck. She was smiling on him; laughing as she tried to keep herself serious. In the moment. "Are you insulting me?"
"Always." Caleb pulled her back then, forcing his lips against her grin and swallowing her light-hearted laugh that followed. She'd refused to close her eyes until the last second, but Caleb was more glad for it; warmth fueling him on from her eyes, which seemed to drown the situation in slight amusement. He relished in that fact. "Thélo na meíno edó gia pánta."...
Caleb sat straight, panting slightly. "Forever..?"
Then it hit him - well actually it had been the night before that things had hit him, and then.. Will.. Had it been a dream? He vaguely recalled being driven by someone, then laughing too hard when Will had offered to help him to bed..
"Rrrggh!" Caleb groaned, the headache was barely existent, but Will was very very real and having had dreamt about her throughout the night meant he had no idea what was real and what was best left unsaid. He truly hoped he hadn't asked her to stay forever.. But that had been in Escanor.. "Oh, please kill me."

"Good morning Heatherfield, Mr Giggles is awake!" Will announced in her best radio voice as Caleb slogged into Hay Lin's kitchen, one hand perpetually clasped against his head, and Hay Lin almost felt sorry for him. "What's your poison?"
"Huh?" Caleb stared blankly at Will, his face slightly puffy from sleeping so long, and Hay Lin watched the plight over her cheerios, stunned by what Will had just said.. Did she just offer..
"What do you want for breakfast?" Will had offered to make Caleb breakfast. Will. Caleb. Hay Lin shoved a spoonful into her mouth and smiled as Caleb's brow furrowed and raised; not sure if he was more surprised or suspicious. It wasn't so much of a surprise to her though; Will had arrived all of seven in the morning, all but asking to check his pulse, and Hay Lin probably would've too. Caleb had given them a scare, and Will was the one who'd had to stay calm and figure out what to do, all in the space of a few seconds after he'd hit the ground.
Caleb seemed to consider Will's seriousness, or maybe he was stuck staring at her face while he tried to concentrate on staying on two legs; he looked like he could collapse again at any second. But he proved her wrong, managing to walk over, and slip into a chair across from her, "Uh, I usually just have-" He jerked up, his eyes widening and for a split moment Hay Lin believed he was going to be sick. "..Just water."
"Ooh, okay.." Will was babying him, and quite frankly Hay Lin would expect her to be embarrassed, though perhaps, Hay Lin wondered, she and her bowl of cheerios had been forgotten as Will pushed a large glass of water in front of the rebel leader. Perhaps Will was making a show out of being the one to look after Caleb to make a point, considering it usually went the other way round. Hay Lin didn't know, and frankly didn't care particularly, as she pushed away her emptied bowl and slipped from the room, Will nervously rattling on with a smile plastered across her face, "And Vathek said he'd take care of th.."

Lord Cedric let his fingers run through his hair as he pulled back his blond hair into a long pony-tail. It wasn't until about half-nine that Elyon had left, resistant at that as well. She'd cried about her boyfriend first; cried about her friends. She'd said how Cornelia had seemed so off last night and how she thought it was because Will had spent the whole night with 'his boy Cornelia really likes'. Caleb. Now that was interesting. But what made him more excited was the spiteful words Elyon spat out, that not only had Will and Caleb not been with the girls when she'd seen them last, but she even 'bet Caleb asks Will to the party'. Irma and Taranee's. Water and Fire. That was tonight.
Tha.. Parakaló.. - Will.. Please..
Thélo na meíno edó gia pánta - I want you to stay here forever.
