Note: I didn't like writing this chapter, but it's essential for the story, so I hope I did ok!
Will wakes up with his head pounding. Ouch. He tentatively opens his eyes and takes in the unfamiliar room. He looks to his side and sees a naked, sleeping man. Finn. Despite himself, and his very painful hangover, he can't help but smile. He looked at the clock on his bedside table and sees that it's 10:00am already. Fuck. This is why he doesn't get drunk on Sundays anymore. He crawls out of bed, picking up his boxers from the floor and putting them on, and drags himself to the living room to call Figgins.
After calling in sick and pouring himself a glass of water, recollections from last night begin hitting Will. God, he was all over Finn in the bar. Not that he minds, he's not the same closet case he was all those years ago; he just hopes he didn't embarrass Finn. Then, he remembered their confession in the bar. He smiled, and decides to go out and get some breakfast. He leaves a note, throws his clothes on and leaves.

He comes back with a Denny's, and finds Finn awake wearing his jeans and no shirt. God, he is so sexy. He must have stared to long, because he hears Finn cough to get his attention. He looks up to see the younger man smiling smugly. Blushing, he tries to end the awkward moment. "Breakfast?" He pushes the bag towards Finn, who grins and grabs the food.
They eat in a comfortable silence, both absolutely starving. After they had eaten, Finn turns to Will looking quite serious. "I think… I think we need to talk." Will was taken aback by how direct he was. "You're right. Can I start?" Finn nodded, and so he launched into the speech he had been practicing the entire way back from getting breakfast. "Finn… When you were gone, I didn't feel… Right, you know? I really missed you. I love you, Finn, and if you feel the same way, I hope we can maybe make this work."
Finn looked incredibly shocked for a few seconds, before he broke into a huge smile. "I love you Will. But, when we broke up, it was… It hurt me. A lot. And I know it was just the circumstances back then, but I don't want to go through all that again." Will felt guilty – it was the same guilt he felt all those years ago for ruining Finn's high school relationships. He pushed this aside and kissed Finn gently on the lips. "I'm so sorry I hurt you Finn. But… Things are different now. It's not illegal for a start." They both laughed at this. "And we don't have pregnant girlfriends. We don't have Sue breathing down our necks. It's just you and me, and I'm never going to hurt you." Finn smiled and grabbed Will's cheek, pulling him in for a tender kiss. He pulled away, and asked "Promise?" Will kissed his cheek. "Promise."
