Shit, how's he supposed to express how hearing that makes him feel? This is dumb! It's a normal thing to say, right? Obviously everyone's happy to have their friends around! You just take that for granted, or they wouldn't be your friends in the first place, right? So why does he feel all tight about it? Why does William saying that make it so hard to swallow?
What do you even say to acknowledge that feeling?
You probably just don't. He decides not to, not wanting to risk getting all—sappy or whatever. But after a beat, he does reach over to smack William companionably on the shoulder. It means, you too bro, or maybe more like please don't leave me.
Smack.]
Who even knows what's gonna happen between now and then? Right? That's how I see it! For now all we can do is go with it and see what happens!
[He laughs a little at the shoulder smack, but says nothing. Because no, he isn't going to just leave Leon if he can help it. Granted, such things are often out of one's hands. But as long as there is a choice...
But do what you can and all of that.]
Exactly. If one ignores their present life for the future, they will live to regret it. So let us make sure to prosper together.
