Well, you probably would've still been blissfully ignorant about all the joyful nuances of leukemia, for one thing.
[He's joking, of course. He's joking because he knows he's already said too much; because he sees in the way that Travis fidgets that he's growing uncomfortable with the steady stream of compliments. Jesus, Wilson-- you don't always have to spill your guts out of your mouth.
But also because that statement-- don't know what I'd do without you-- is so equally frank that he's not sure how to react to it either. Obviously Travis cares for him a great deal-- he wouldn't have spent all that time visiting him, buying him meals; tending to him while he was sick if he didn't-- but it surprises him sometimes, just how much he's invested in Wade's health and happiness. Wade can't remember anyone doing that for him before, not since his parents died.
He clears his throat. Time to change the subject.]
So. What's our next course of action, here? Should we form a secret club with coded handshakes and everything? The Coalition of Havenites Who May or May Not Be Crazy?
