Rykah barely looked up from his position when Will came back, rocking himself back and forth as he tried to make sense of everything right now,

(*his. Autocorrect sucks. Sorry.)
Will sat down in front of him, unsure of whether or not to touch him.

“Rykah…. you want to talk? Distract yourself?” Will asked cautiously.

"I don't know what to say…."

Will wasn’t sure either. He was sort of afraid that anything he did would result in Rykah getting more upset.

Rykah carefully scooted up to him, nuzzling the other boy carefully, really just wanting a hug.

Will pulled Rykah in closer, wishing he could make everything all better.

Rykah melted, not sure what else to do, and wishing he break the suffocating silence.
(Rykah isn't gonna do anything for awhile, he's in too much shock. This'll go on until the potion wears off, or until one of your other characters does something.)

Will planted a kiss on Rykah’s head, before looking at the door when someone knocked.
He looked at Rykah sadly, before saying, “Come in.” Finn appeared in the doorway, looking directly at Will, not even bothering to ask if Rykah was ok.
“Anna wanted me to see if you guys were ok.”
Will nodded.

Rykah didn't bother moving, just wanting to melt and disappear. why me…… why did it have to be me…..

“We’re good.” Will answered. Finn raised an eyebrow, but could tell that Will wanted him out of there, so left.

Rykah curled up tighter against Will, really just needing comfort.

“It’s ok…. everything’s ok….” Will said quietly.

Rykah looked up at him, his eyes filled with confusion, before pressing into him. "I know… but… what…. what if it comes back…."
(Note that Will never told him the effects of the potion.)

“Rykah, I gave you a potion to make it go away. I can give you a new dose when you need it. Which will be in a few minutes.” Will said. “I’ll work on a longer lasting one if you continue to need it.”

Rykah tensed, pulling into Will even more. "it … it has to stop eventually….. always has…." he said shakily, just remember… the original was a lot worse.

“I need to get the potion worked on anyway. I’m kind of afraid that Jesse has some odd wound somewhere that we don’t know about.” Will said. “Or he might be under the influence of a drug, hence the fainting…. but I’m not totally sure what drug would induce random fainting but not any other symptoms, especially at the rate he wakes up…. although I suppose if someone mixed a couple drugs together…. or maybe they used a potion. Or hex bag…. but both of those things would likely have more symptoms. I guess it would be the drug most likely, but that idea isn’t sound either…” Will had already gone I to doctor mode again.

“And it’s time for more potion….” Will said, snapping out of being doctor-like for a second. “I’ll be right back, ok?”

"Will don't" Rykah reached for him, catching his arm."Just stay…." he tried to keep pain out of his voice, but it wasn't working so well.

“Rykah…. you need the potion….” Will sighed. “Can I ask someone to get it for us?”

"Just… stay…" said Rykah, gasping in pain as it got worse, gripping Will's arm tighter.

Will sighed. “Okay, Ry.” Will climbed back in bed, praying that his phone was in his pocket. To his dismay, it wasn’t there.
Will sighed again, and pulled Rykah close to him.

Rykah melted into him, pain becoming overwhelming as he burst into tears.

Will sighed, whispering quiet comfort to him. After a few seconds, Anna quietly came in, and dropped his phone on the bed, before leaving again. Will got the phone, and texted her to bring him the potion he had left outside.

(Surely Anna would notice something was wrong with Rykah??)
Rykah whimpered, burying his face in Will's chest.

After another minute, Anna came back holding the potion, which she gave to Will, then headed back out.
“Rykah, will you take this please?”

Rykah carefully, tried to pull himself up again, taking it, falling back as the pain alevieated again.

“Better?” Will asked.
