Short epilogue to 'Something Whole'. A little fluffy but sometimes it's just what we need! Hope you like it ;)
Roughly 1 year later...
Hal paces the garden fingers tapping together and his mind racing with thousands of negative outcomes to the situation that he has stupidly put himself. Tom steps outside, sees Hal and rushes over to him.
"Are you alrigh' Hal? What's wrong?" Tom asks checking him over for any sign of injury. Hal stares at Tom; he can't do it. 500 hundred years of living to be undone by a sweet young werewolf who is helplessly messy, utterly oblivious at times and thought a skinning knife was a great birthday present.
Hal looks up at Tom his brown eyes watching him carefully back. The words are stuck in his throat and he's wondering how on earth people managed to do it. How do people manage to gather the courage to alter their lives so significantly?
"Tom…I…Will you…" he bites at his lips desperate for his mouth to form the words he wants to ask.
"Will you go to the shops with me?" he breathes out desperately hoping Tom will understand. That he will see what Hal is trying to ask him.
For a second there is just silence and a small frown on Tom's face as he studies Hal. Hal can feel his body tense and his heart thunder in his chest. Understand, please understand...he thinks. But then Tom smiles...
He gives Hal the biggest smile he has ever seen. Tom chuckles quietly shaking his head looking at the emotionally constipated vampire stood tapping his fingers against his jeans. He looks at him adoringly and replies without a trace of doubt.
"Yeah, Hal. I'll come to the shops with you…"
I know! I know! I just can't resist a soppy ending! I hope I have been clear with what Hal is asking...Please review and let me know what you think! Thanks :) x
