It took a bit of doing, but eventually, Damien willed himself out of bed. He glanced at the clock in his room. Almost two hours on the nose. He would have been impressed with the punctuality, if he hadn't been feeling so down.

He opened the door and remembered his friend was on crutches. It was at that point he felt like a total heel.

"Hey, let me get your bag for you bro. Thanks for getting here so fast."

"Thanks," Billy said, shrugging off his packpack. Damien did not look good. He look exhausted and pained, something that made Billy forget about any injuries he might have had. "You okay man?"

Dami placed the backpack on his desk and gestured to Billy to have a seat on the bed.

"I ... I some how managed to forget you were on crutches, Bill. I would have just came to you, if I had thought about it. I'm ... sorry."

He hadn't consciously avoided the question, he was just overcome by his own thoughtlessness.

Damien needed not be alone, Damien needed his best friend and when Bill realized this he didn't give it a second thought, crutches or not. Damien honestly did not need to feel guilty.

"It's okay, Damien. You needed me, so I came. No questions asked."
