[One hand covering his eye, the other latching onto Basil’s own grip.
He wanted to let go. He wanted to push away. He wanted… some sort of support, but it wasn’t right for him to accept that, was it?
The only reason they were in this situation was because of Sunny. It was his fault. Again.
So as much as he was frightened, as much as the words Basil spoke only sent him back to that fight, that night four years ago…
Sunny nodded. Leaned forward, till his forehead was resting against Basil’s shoulder, bloodied hand moving from his injured eye to grip the ground. He allowed himself to breathe.
Even if the support that he was so clinging to was his friend. Even if all he was doing was relying on Basil again, forcing the other to shoulder his burden…
Those thoughts spurned movement into his legs. Automatic, standing like a newborn foal, legs wobbly and leaning on the other boy, but… he stood. Remained standing. Right, they needed to find… something. And as he allowed his friend to support his walk away from the River, a bloodied handprint was left behind.
