I guess I'm not making it very easy on you, am I? I'm sorry.
[Even Will has to laugh a little at that, caught between apologetic and just exasperated at himself. It's such a difficult imbalance to address, when correcting it feels so unnatural. He's used to being known by what he does and how he acts, not..... not who he is. He's supposed to be a larger than life stage presence--the sort of active friend you do things with, more than you really talk to. He's supposed to know much more about other people than they'll ever know about him, because it's just not something most people care about, let alone need to know. People are supposed to think he's incredibly open, feel like he shares a lot, and maybe never realize they barely know anything at all.
Most of the time, it works incredibly well. Maybe a little too well, if Cor doesn't even know what he wants to know. It's really not fair to him, is it? Cor's sharing his heart with him, and in return, he just.....
Will closes his eyes and dismisses that train of thought as well as he can, shivering a little under the soft brush of a finger along skin that's hardly ever touched, the almost uncomfortable heat licking at his own fingers. It's impossible not to feel hopelessly small and fragile like this--Cor is so much taller and more strongly built, his hands are so much bigger, his magic is so powerful..... How could he ever forget who he belongs to now?]
You..... But that--doesn't that put a strain on him?
[Cor wants to share him? But why, when he struggled with that idea so much? And from what he remembers of Cor talking about it, he draws his magic from Regis directly, right? He doesn't want to overburden him.....]
