(( When Will gets back to the hotel after a shift at the coffee shop, the first thing he does is look for Pete. Whether he's hanging out in the Fae's rooms or his own, Will plops down beside him and holds out a plush. He offers a bright smile as he waits for Pete to take it from his hands. ))
[Pete's actually sitting outside of his room leaning against the post that divides the hallway and the courtyard. He's smoking and staring at the door, wanting to go in to clean up but not having been able to work up the energy or the will to open the door to go inside.
Hearing Will, he watches him come to sit with him and takes the toy. Only to see it's a stuffed capybara. He lets out a laugh as he keeps looking at it.]
(( His expressions sobers and he glances at the door Pete was staring at. His room. His and Veags'. Will isn't sure Pete's been back in since... whoever happened happened. ))
[Putting out the cigarette, he takes the offered hand and gets up, still holding the plush tight to him. A grounding breath in and finally he unlocks the door to let them inside to chaos he caused in here.]
(( Dark eyes scan the room, assessing the extent of the mess/damage. He knows enough of Pete's history to suspect the man could have a violent temper when so provoked. This is just the evidence of it. Better to take it out on a room than on others. He should be commended for that! ))
[He nods and goes over to start doing that, picking his way around the disaster of everything else he caused. Notably, all of things that would be really important to Vegas are untouched. Like even in his fit of rage and sadness he couldn't bring himself to destroy those.
Grabbing a corner of the bedding, he yanks it up to fold it in on itself without looking at the center of the bed. Honestly he thinks he should just throw these sheets out. He doesn't want to take the time to remove the droplets of blood or cum stains off of it this time.]
(( They're stains Will doesn't fail to notice. But he wisely says nothing. Between that and how the pair have been behaving, it's enough to fill in the blanks. Will presses his lips together, but he keeps his anger in check. He'd have words with Vegas if he thought it would change anything. However, what's done is done. And Will can express his disapproval with a glare as easily as with words.
The Fae moves to the other side of the bed to help bundle the sheets up. Once they're stripped off the bed, he looks at Pete, his upset carefully concealed. ))
[Looking up, he blinks a few times as if he's trying to comprehend what Will is saying. But then he nods. They have more bedding. Losing this will be fine. He doesn't mind that.]
(( For now, Will just drops the bundle of soiled sheets on the floor. He's not going to take them to the laundry. He's going to take them to the trash. But right now, he has t help Pete re-make the bed. That's a start in getting the place tidied. ))
[Going to where he keeps things stored, he pulls out the bedding to bring it over, spreading it out so they can work together to put the bed back in order. When it's done, he runs his hand over the blanket before grabbing the blood stained belt he spies to throw it in the trash.
From there he drags the trashcan around with him to start throwing smaller things into it.]
[He'd been moving on such auto-pilot to make the bed and pick up trash that Will's words surprise him. Blinking slowly, he takes a moment to comprehend the simple words before nodding. He can wipe down the floors while he's gone so he doesn't mind being alone for a moment.]
(( The perk of living in a hotel is a larger trash bin. Large enough that when Will stuffs the bedding in it, it's not even remotely full. No inconvenience to anyone else. He walks back to Pete's room at a clip so his little brother and best friend isn't alone for too long. ))
(( Will pads off to the bathroom to check. He doesn't see anything broken, but he does walk carefully just in case. He tidies up anything overturned or seemingly out of place so Pete can find things when he decides to settle back into thie room. ))

Might be confusing if you're Pete too. But P'Will likes calling me a capybara.
[Yes, he's talking to the plush and calling Will his phi to it.]
Maybe you could be CapyPete. So we know which is me.

You really live up to your name. You're so strong.
