At least Syn hadn't wanted anything from him than just a simple affection. Will wasn't used to having anything taken at face value but always expected more. Just like he'd initially believed James to want sex if he requested him to go over and spend some time, he couldn't think that Syn didn't want to just run off and marry him right now. It was a thing he had to get out of.
Considering Syn's question Will eventually shrugged. "Guess I should make a room back at Ric's. Still got my clothes there. The apartment's out of bounds, neither of us are going there... just... when I came to TJS I had a plan. I knew what I was doing. I knew who I was and where I wanted to be, what I wanted to do... now I don't know or have anything. It scares me." He admitted this softly, staring at his hands.
