A boy made of bones and not wings

Will liked that idea. Something being his choice. It didn’t seem likely to happen, but maybe if he made the decision in his mind, it could still feel sort of in his control when whatever happened happened. To make decisions, he needed to gather information. He needed to listen.He pointed at his brother, and whispered quietly “want?”(Words came easier around Jonathon. There were no expectations. No applause, just a conversation. He could speak as little or as much as he wanted. Jonathon didn’t care how many words Will did or did not have).
