Fandom: The Dark Is Rising
For: eventual Will/Bran untitled WIP, snippeted before here
Quality: Briefly checked
Character: Bran, Will
The door opened. Bran looked out of the house, leaning against the wall just inside, a dog -- Bryn, surely, still -- at his feet. "You didn't give me a time," he said, calmly. "Luckily, I have an instinct for these things, when it comes to you. The kettle just boiled."
"Bran," Will said, dumbly.
"Yes, that's still my name. I suppose that is a question with you. Do you still call yourself Will?"
"When I'm with you, I do," Will said, taking a deep breath. "Bran -- "
"Get inside already," Bran said, rolling his eyes, and he straightened up. "Unless you want to be shut out."
He was never really aware of how he got there, how he closed the gap of six meters or so, but all of a sudden he had his arms tight around Bran and his face buried in his friend's shoulder. "Bran."
"Will," Bran said, and his arms came around him, tightly, so tightly, so he almost couldn't breathe, and it didn't matter.
