<div align=center>"I'll return the favor at some point!" The boy promised, "I swear it." He was beginning to feel a little better, at least he'd been kept awake for a little while. He didn't really know why it was bad to fall asleep with a concussion, since his medical knowledge wasn't all that good, but he thought it was best to listen to the doctor rather than take things into his own hands. He smiled a little when he caught the man looking his way, and the doctor returned a small smile in reply to him before continuing with whatever he was doing. He's not so bad. A little grumpy maybe, but not so bad.

William nodded when Ha Long spoke again, he supposed he was right. Since he'd left his family he hadn't really had anyone else but Gabe, he was like a stand in family member, best friend and a boyfriend all in one. That was something Bill appreciated, he was a very difficult person to be around if you were as close to him as Gabriel was. He was a handful for the most part, overly sensitive, cowardly and a whole horde of other problems that came along with his personality. He smiled a little and shook his head, "it's just him."

"Would you mind if I asked you what he's like? William looked up at the man and blinked, no one ever really asked, Bill just often sort of... Trailed into conversation about him. "He is a good person." The boy stated, "he has to put up with a whole lot of crap... He looks after me well." He drew his knees into his chest and rested his chin on them, "he's very sweet... I'm very difficult." The boy's brow creased ever so slightly, "I love him lots."</div>

Wong Ha Jung

Since it was becoming a little obvious to him that William might have some issues to deal with, Wong Ha Jung simply smiled pleasantly as the boy spoke. "He sounds like a kind person," the man said after William had finished. "I have to admit that I can't very well see the difficulty that you're speaking of, though."

Even as he commented, the counselor's mind was running back to the stash of files he had been presented with on his first day. Though what his predecessors had left behind was surprisingly scarce -perhaps the students were that used to hiding themselves away?- Wong Ha Jung still had access to the general student records. Any report with a preexisting situation had already been sent up to his desk by this point. At the time, there wasn't anything off the top of his head that he could remember about a William, but it might have been because the name was common enough to become confused among a number of different boys.

I'll have to check that more carefully when I get back, Wong Ha Jung mused. The things that he was starting to see didn't seem to be severe on the surface. But then again, he thought, edging somewhat uncertainly around a certain matter, I guess I've always been kind of lousy in that area, huh?

Trying. That was really all he could do in these situations.

"How long have you been together?" Wong Ha Jung asked, folding his hands in his lap. "It seems like it's been quite a while."

<div align=center>William frowned a little, "I uh. Do I have to talk about that?" He asked, glancing down to his feet. This man however, was a Councillor, he realized. Gabriel had been pestering him to talk to someone, but in truth he didn't really want to. He struggled opening up so people he'd known for years, how would he talk to someone he barely knew? That's the trick. They don't know anything about you. They can't judge you. "My head just gets messed up sometimes. That's all." He mumbled, running a hand through his hair, fingers absently brushing the bandage bound up around his head.

There most likely were files on the boy somewhere, doctors reports, mainly. He'd been supposedly diagnosed with Schizophrenia at a young age, though that had turned out to be telepathy rather than a mental illness. Never once had they been hallucinations. However, nothing else had been done. He'd never once seen a Councillor, the only person he'd really talked to about feelings was Gabriel.

"How.. Long?" William had to stop and think about that. Truthfully, he didn't know. They'd met last October, he recalled, but he didn't remember when a relationship had actually been established. Early November, perhaps. "I guess it'll be... Seven months, soon enough." He answered, "yeah. Seven months."</div>

Any weirdness here, I blame on the flight.

Wong Ha Jung

Seeing William’s hesitance, Wong Ha Jung mentally shifted slightly away from the topic. It wasn’t his intention to drive anybody into a shell and to be fair, it wasn’t like he had set out to psychoanalyze somebody. Initially. But because it was his job and because he genuinely wanted to help people, the counselor had to wonder. Messed up was such a vague statement, covering everything from chronic daydreaming to schizophrenia and back. And, he supposed, any sort of mental based power. That last one was the one that he seemed to always be forgetting.

Oh, maybe it’s that, then? the man realized suddenly. That would explain why the name William hadn’t especially stood out to him. A lot of the medical and school files in storage consisted of misdiagnoses related to powers. They were very much moved out of focus.

“Seven months is quite a while,” Wong Ha Jung remarked, just a little wistfully. “I’m glad that it’s worked out so well for you two.” Personally, he wasn’t any good with relationships. They seemed to run right through his life like water through a sieve. It might have been a little sad but he tried not to think too much about it. And it did always make him happy when he saw others’ going smoothly. Ah, there’s just not much else to do about it.

So he smiled. “Is this your first real relationship?” he asked. “The way you’re acting is kind of reminding me of mine…” It was an awfully familiar feeling that he was getting. I wonder if it’s unprofessional to be talking about that? the counselor worried. But William already looked partially out of it anyways.

He's probably exhausted right now. Well, that was fine. Wong Ha Jung would stay and talk for however long the boy wanted. And if it just so happened that he'd like him to go away soon, that was fine, too.

<div align=center>William, meanwhile had curled up on his side on the bed. Nothing the man was saying was really going into his head anymore. He was feeling fuzzy and strange, and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep here for a little while. The doctor said.. Don't go to sleep... He suddenly didn't really care what the doctor said, he'd do what he wanted. "I.. I'm gonna.. Take a nap now..." He murmured, his voice slowing a little toward the end of the sentence. The boy shifted a hand up to stifle a small yawn, he was going to sleep whether Kida liked it or not. No one could stop him now.

"Maybe... I'll talk to you some other time." He murmured, "thank you for keeping me company. You're really nice. I like you." He offered Wong Ha Jung a small, friendly little smile. He was glad for his company while it had lasted, but it was best to leave William alone for a little while to let him nap. He yawned again, moving his head to muffle it into the pillows, before turning over onto his other side and tucking himself up underneath the blankets on the bed. William was more or less out like a light, he only had to shut his eyes to fall asleep. </div>
