Getting Ready
Will
Will was more nervous than a high schooler taking a test they didn't study for. Sure he had gone on dates before but Ashley was different, she was special, she brought light to the darkness, she made his heart beat at a thousand miles an hour. Her presence made his life good, her smile brought him a joy that he never knew existed.
He remember the moment they had in her bedroom thanks to the Nubbins. He remember how close they came to kissing and maybe more. He wondered if there relationship would be any different if nothing had distracted them that day. Would they have realised the feeling they had for each other or would they have just chalked it up to hormone induced sex and let it ruin there friendship
'Hey Dude, what you doing ?'. Will noticed that Henry was standing at the door looking in. 'Getting ready for a date' he replied. 'Anyone i know' he asked. 'Just an old friend' Will replied. He and Ashley both decided they didn't want anyone finding out about them for fear that Magnus would intervene and fire Will or worse.
'Really' Henry said 'Cause that the same excuse Ashley gave me ten minutes ago' He was on to them. 'Ain't that a coincidence' Will said 'Wonder who she going out with ?'. He was hoping this would throw Henry off. It didn't.
'You ever hear of occam's razar Will? he asked. 'Yeah' Will said putting in his contact lens 'The simpliest solution is usually the right one'. 'Good, cause occam's razar's telling me that you and Ash are going out on a date with each other' Henry said.
'You know if Magnus find out there's no telling what she'll do to you Will' Henry said 'Not to mention me and the Big Guy, Ashley's our family, she's like a sister to me , so i'm just letting you know, you break her heart , you'll have to deal with my inner wolf. He said the last part very grimely and Will didn't need psychological training to know he was telling the truth.
Ashley
Ashley was getting ready for her date with Will. Life is funny cause if someone had told her the day Will joined the Sanctuary that within a few months she would be getting ready for a date with him she would have given them direction to the nearest mental hospital.
Still Will was one of a kind. She expected him to be eaten within a week of joining the Sanctuary yet a week after she thought that he was still there. Her Mom had always thought her to look beneath the surface and never judge a book by it cover and ever day in the Sanctuaryproved that expression right. After all some of the scariest looking things in the Sanctuary are actually quite friendly and vice versa.
After a few weeks in the Sanctuary her opinion of Will changed from seeing him as this little wimp to seeing him as a nice guy who just wanted to help. And with some of the Abnormals he took on , he was definately no wimp. She came to respect him and after that she began to enjoy his company and after a while she began to wonder how she ever lived without him.
Now her she was making herself look pretty for their date. She had butterfly in her stomach. She never had butterfly in her stomach. She could take on giant monster without fear and she had gone on dates before without fear but this was different, Will was different. He wasn't just some guy she wanted to sleep with then leave she wanted more.
Both of them were very confused about the dream. They wondered who the weird boy with the almost prophetic words. But the real thing that they wondered was if he was right, was the little suburban life possible, could they have that beautiful house and perfect child like in the dream.
Will had always wanted that but because of his inability to fully comit to a relationship because of how he buried himself in his work. Ashley never really thought about it, she always thought she'd hunt monster for the rest of her life. But when she looks at Will she could actually picture herself walking down the aisle in a white dress, she saw herself giving birth to their children, she could see the little house in the suburbs. She didn't just picture it ,she wanted it.
They meet at the front door 'Hey' Will said 'You look nice'. Ashley started to blush and said 'Thanks'. 'So you ready' he asked sounding nervous. Ashley started laughing and said 'Relax Will i'm not going to bite your head off '. Will began to laugh to and they shared a happy moment. 'Henry knows about the date' Will said. 'If he tell anyone i'll shot him' Ashley said jokingly.
'Do you mind if we don't take your bike , we use my car' Will asked. 'Aww your no fun' Ashley said teasingly. They got into Will's car and drove to the pizzaria. Both were looking forward to the date
