WILL POV-
---- 12:33 PM ----
Will awoke from his nap on edge. As the bell for lunch rung, he jumped up from his seat making a bee-line to the bathroom before El could even turn to him or ask about lunch. The boy rushed pass all his friends including Mike; just wanting to be alone for a few minutes.
Standing in the bathroom, he remained idle checking his reflection, throwing water on his face to feel the coolth of the water calm his nerves. Now you may be asking, why is Will acting... well so strange? and that's a great question! It all started a long, long time ago; many millennia prior...
No... it didn't! He's joking; they say laughter is the medicine of the soul, trying to ease his own nerves making up a joking story but realising it didn't work. Nothing like that happened, the real reason he was acting like this was because...
"Will?" a voice called looking both ways before entering. Dustin had a hunch something was wrong and seeing Will in this state only proved his theory. There, huddling in the corner staring at the sink spaced out was the brunette; his hands under the flowing water from the faucet, he turned around startled hearing footsteps behind.
"Oh... hi" The brunette whispered attempting to portray composure.
"Hey!" The curly haired boy said softly, his voice laced with genuine concern "I noticed you seemed on edge during the whole lesson... is everything okay?"
The brunette sniffled, wiping a hand over his nose leaning against the sink counter. Will's face was red from embarrassment among other reasons. "I'm just a bit homesick! I miss my mum and my brother... sometimes it's too much!"
"Did something happen?" Dustin questioned "Is that why you're here?"
"It's nothing!" The brunette looked up; his eyes teary with droplets threatening to fall. "I just had a dream... about my home and it felt so real!"
The curly haired boy's heart sank, realising the weight of the situation stepping closer to place a hand on Will's shoulder, "I can't imagine how hard it must be for you! But we're here for you... We all are!" Emphasizing his words.
Will nodded, his voice wavering "I know... I just tried to not think about it for the past two weeks and then this dream came out of nowhere and yeah-" Sighing, unable to formulate a logical sentence.
Dustin took a deep breath hoping to find the right words "Dreams can be tricky; sometimes they bring up things you don't want to. But remember, for however long you're here for, this is your new home, and we are your new family!"
The brunette chuckled hearing the words come out of the curly haired boy's mouth, always relying on him when the situation arises, but glad that at least out of everything in this comic, he had friends, ones he could count on. Managing a small smile, the gratitude glimmered in his eyes allowing him to speak "I'm lucky to have friends like you... thanks Dustin, for always being there for me!"
"Anytime dude, anytime" The curly haired boy softly smiled patting the boy's shoulder
"Oh gosh" Will wiped a singular tear of his face, taking a deep breath "How did you know I was here anyway?" retaining composure, crossing his arms
"We went looking for you!" Dustin blinked
"We?" The brunette's eyes widened
