crying lightning

<div align=center>"You know, I can't believe you." William sighed audibly, though it hadn't really been Gabe's fault, William had... Provoked him in a way. Gabriel hadn't known what was going to happen, the poor boy had been over-excited, that was all. He felt frazzled, quite literally, he'd forgotten Gabriel lost control of himself every once in a while. William had hissed and cried when Gabe had tried to fix it, it stung and his skin felt like it was cooking. At least William's boyfriend had the courtesy to come and sit with him in the infirmary, it could have been worse, Bill thought, it could have been much worse.

It had happened during, well, things that perhaps shouldn't have been spoken about. William had done something and poor Gabe had just reacted to it, unfortunately that meant some rather nasty electrostatic burns for William. His forearms had been burned rather badly, and part of the ends of his hair had been singed, though thankfully not too badly, cutting them off wouldn't make much difference to his appearance, it'd grow back fast enough anyway. But God it stung, it stung so badly it brought tears to his eyes to touch it. He'd had burns before, but not this bad, "I hope it doesn't scar," he frowned, "do electricity burns scar?" He tilted his head to one side, this was one of the many occasions when William badly wished he could use his healing powers on himself, unfortunately, it didn't work that way, he wondered if it ever would.</div>

<div align=center>The boy whimpered sadly, and frowned at Gabe, he couldn't blame him though, he couldn't find it in his heart to ever blame Gabe for anything, he was too soft. William didn't really want to be permanently disfigured, he wasn't really sure how to judge the seriousness of burns, his skin was blistered though, he'd already been burned recently, but this was much worse than that. "If it scars I'm never going to forgive you." He chirped rather nonchalantly, beaming at Gabe and tilting his head to one side, chances are he wasn't being serious, and Gabe would be alright whether he scarred or not.

Are you guys okay? The boy blushed hard, he hadn't realized someone else had been there. He arched his back and squeaked, shuffling closer to Gabe and frowning. "I.. I... I'm... I'm not... Not really okay..." He stammered, he wondered if she was a nurse or just another student who had hurt themselves, he asked her if she was okay, and fumbled backward for Gabe's hand, though winced as skin brushed against skin, and squeaked, "ouch!" He shuffled away and frowned, they hadn't been seen to yet and William perhaps would have liked to have his arms bandaged.</div>

<div align=center>William jabbed a thumb back at Gabe, frowning a little. "It wasn't really his fault, though." He glanced to him, and leaned up against him, poor Gabe was so distraught about it that Bill felt bad for him, he pressed a short, affectionate little kiss to the skin just underneath his jaw, "he was just... Over excited." He confirmed, nodding a little. It'd probably heal fine, William's healing ability was just a little better than everyone else's as far as wounds went, his powers helped that along, which he was thankful for. He was less likely to scar, and he hoped he wouldn't, he already had enough of those.

"An electrocution burn, I guess." He shrugged, he didn't really know different types of burns, he wasn't familiar with medical knowledge and he didn't really know much about it. He knew how to help colds and he could fix headaches but that was just about it, his mother and father hadn't really been involved in all of that, so he didn't know much about it, he was just able to heal wounds and scrapes and illnesses and such, on other people that was, his powers were more or less useless when it came to himself.</div>

<div align=center>William nuzzled Gabe softly and apologized, he'd forgotten about that, Gabe had a thing about his neck. He could feel that the poor boy was worried, and he thought that was cute, he didn't want him to be worried, he'd be alright, he'd get them bandaged up and it'd be fine, it'd sting for a little while and the blisters wouldn't look very nice, but it would heal over at some point at least, it wouldn't hinder him, and he told Gabriel that, frowning very softly. "Don't be sad," he frowned, "I love you." He mumbled, letting his eyes flutter shut and snuggling against him.

His eyes flickered open again as Lucy spoke, he wasn't sure what elevating burns would do, nor how it would help, he just needed salve or something similar. He didn't say anything to her though, the boy tended to be shy around new people, they made him feel nervous and intimidated. William was generally an incredibly nervous sort of person, it wasn't his fault, he was just a lot more timid than other people, which was why Gabe was good for him, Gabe was more or less the opposite, he wasn't really frightened of anything, William thought he was so brave.</div>
