will woke up feeling better than he's ever felt ever since he was dragged into the upside down. though he could still feel the occasional burn in his lungs and throat whenever he breathed in, he came to a conclusion that if he just stayed around within a few meters of frederick, he would feel better. better and safe.
he sits up from the bed and stretched his sore limbs out. running from another dimensional monster seemed to do that to you, he joked to himself.
"oh, you're awake." will could hear the other boy rummaging through the cupboard, "good morning, starshine." frederick greets with a light-hearted tone.
"i have some reece's pieces, some skittles and, well— there are a bunch of.. sweet things here, if you want to eat them." frederick turns around to meet the other boy's eyes. he ignored his thoughts of how adorable will looked like with his hair all over the place, getting himself a chocolate bar to distract himself. "water too, and some canned drinks."
frederick was glad that most of the awkward atmosphere was thrown out of the window, and instead, the air was comfortable around them. must be because we broke down to each other.
frederick ended up sleeping on the stool while leaning against the wall the other night — and though his back was aching, he's never felt better in his entire life. the adrenaline of finally having some company was still rushing through his veins, and he wasn't about to let himself ruin that by.. being the awkward teenager he was.
will walked to where frederick was and grabbed the packet of skittles, thanking the taller boy for his hospitality. to say he was grateful was an understatement — will practically owed frederick his entire life.
frederick shook his head and gave the shorter boy a smile, telling him to not worry about it.
the both of them then agreed to retrace will's steps back, just to see if there was a way they could leave this world that will had named, 'the vale of shadows'. it was a bit mouthful in the young wanderer's opinion, he would've rather called it 'dark world' or something akin to that — but it seems like it was another.. dragons and dungeons reference frederick didn't understand, and will looked like he really was into this d&d thing. fred wanted do understand, too, so he agreed to call it the vale of shadows.
frederick decided on bringing his bag once again and filled it with snacks and water — along with some bandages just in case someone got hurt. he swung his baseball on his shoulder and stayed still for a second, trying to sense if there was any movement around the area they were in.
