Helliam/Willry (William x Henry)

Forgiveness

*looks over at the view count* yeah It would only make sense that there are no requests-

Well, let's see what I can come up with-

------

*this is taking place a few weeks after Henry found William*

Henry of course noticed William's scars on his skin from what he went through, and he knows that William has anxiety, but he never thought it would've been this bad. He would have nightmares every other day, he would get scared that he did something bad again whenever Henry looked at him weird, He would never go into the kitchen to help with dinner, (he would only go in if the knives or anything sharp for that matter was out of his reach) and he would always look worried all the time. Like he didn't feel safe.

But there was a benefit Henry guessed to this, William cared about Henry and his well-being so much. Often to the point where he forgot about his own well-being. But right as Henry noticed this, he recognized the problem not long after. William didn't care if he got hurt, or if he started feeling depressed or in pain at all. He just went along with it until it stopped and then went straight back to being afraid, like he didn't quite forgive himself even after all this time. So, now is the time where Henry tries to fix that. (emphasis on the "tries to")

Wednesday, 7:33 PM

Henry walked over to the couch where William was taking a nap and sat down next to him, rubbing his back slightly as he looked worriedly at his partner. William stirred awake, smiling tiredly when he saw Henry. "Hello love." Henry said, helping William to sit up. Almost immediately William noticed he had something on his mind. Something serious. "Henry..." Henry flinched at his partners sudden tone change, realizing that he knew something was up. "I'm guessing there's something you want to talk about?" Henry sighed and nodded. William sat up straight and scooted closer. "Do you want to tell me? Or will it take time?" The taller held up two fingers, signaling that it was the second question. William smiled and nodded, pulling Henry into a hug. "You do whatever you need to. I'll be here no matter what." William said quietly in his ear. 'But that's exactly the problem...You're always here for me but not for yourself.'  Henry thought.

~A few days later~

Saturday, 11:40 AM

Henry was laying in bed, thinking. 'Is there something I can do to help him? I've tried talking before, but it's like it didn't even effect him. But if I try to-'  "AGH! Shit..." Henry shot up, noticing both the sound of William and broken glass. He got up out of bed and ran into the other room. In front of him was a broken vase, and William trying to pick up the pieces, not even acknowledging the cuts he was getting. "William, are you okay?!" Henry said, racing to his side. "I'm fine Henry, sorry about your vase-" "I don't care about the stupid vase William, you're getting hurt." Henry interrupted, pulling William up and leading him into the bathroom. "Henry really, I'm fine, it doesn't matter-" "Quiet." Henry said, interrupting again. William was sat down on the edge of the tub as Henry pulled out the first-aid kit. William didn't say anything as Henry bandaged him, not wanting to know what Henry would do if he protested again. 

"Hey, uh...I know that this may seem necessary in your eyes, but this is a little sudden. Why do you seem so panicked? This has happened before and to be honest it doesn't deserve this kind of reaction." William said, causing Henry to stop for a moment before continuing. He finished bandaging his partner and pulled him up again, leading him to the bedroom and pushing him on the bed, climbing on top before William could sit up. "W-What's this for-" Henry kissed the male while laying down on him, putting both hands on either side of his face. He parted and looked at William sternly. "Why?" He asked, furrowing his brow. William looked at him in confusion. "Why do you keep ignoring yourself? You matter too, William." William looked at him worriedly. Henry sat up, William following him. 

"I just...feel like I don't deserve it. I did so many things I wish I never did...and yet you forgave me, I just don't think I've forgiven myself. And to be honest, I don't think I ever will." William chuckled, looking away. Henry pulled the male forward by the waist and pressed their lips against each other. "Please don't ever say that again. You deserve forgiveness. HELL! You were springlocked and was trapped in that place for 30 YEARS William! That sort of punishment is just cruel! I forgave you because I love you. I forgave you because you didn't deserve being trapped in there after losing everything. Please Will, accept that you need this sort of attention." Henry said, tears rolling down his rosy cheeks. William's expression softened as the male hugged him tight, sobbing softly into his shoulder. William rubbed circled into his back, whispering loving things into his ear.

"Hey, i'll try to be more...forgiving to myself. Are you okay?" William said softly, pulling the male off his shoulder. Henry smiled and looked at him, wiping his eyes. "Yeah, but are you okay? The cut was pretty deep." Henry said, examining his partners bandaged arms. "It stings a little, but i'm fine. Thanks to you." Henry smiled. 

"I love you."

"I love you too Henry."
