helpdesk_heroHe knows it the second he wakes up. Because there's this void in his head. Can't explain it, can only say it's wrong. As deeply wrong as anything has ever been in his life. Of course the only reason he even woke up was because of all of the shouting. The fear and the pain. And David swallows hard because he's reaching and there's nothing.
Which is what gets him grabbing at his jeans and a t-shirt, throwing himself out of the room, barely even acknowledging Josh as the gold-skinned idiot wakes up. No, his concern is the room across the hall. Is pushing past people so he can pound on it. Billy.
"Billy!" he shouts through the door. He should have fought harder when Emma found out they were dating. He shouldn't have let people change their rooms. He should be in there, knowing if Billy is feeling this same emptiness too.
An emptiness that can't just be David, because he thinks he just saw a girl that used to have purple skin and horns walk by. Without either of those.
"Billy, open up! Dammit, Jay, if you're in there, open the door, I need to see Billy."

7/12/19 03:58 (UTC)[He grins, looking up at David and it's easy to forget in this moment all the bad that's happened.]
Okay. Let's do this. See what kind of a mess you're dating, mm?

You're not a mess, Billy.

7/12/19 04:23 (UTC)[Billy tries to keep up that teasing, but there's a slight sheepish look to him. He's glad David doesn't let him joke like that, but it's still a hard habit to break.]
