Chapter 6

Warren really had no idea where this left them now. Because, yeah, he was gone beyond words for Will, but who knows? Things could change in a heartbeat. After all, they already had.

Will had fallen asleep on him, and Warren--Warren was able to keep his eyes closed for exactly four minutes and thought he'd fallen asleep until he actually saw the time. Now Warren just ran his hands through Will's hair, watching his chest rise and fall with every breath, and noticing how very long his eyelashes were, dark against the ligment of his skin. "It's creepy to watch people when they sleep, y'know that?" Will asked, not opening his eyes. The sound of his voice, husky with sleep, went straight to his cock, but he ignored it, laughing softly.

"Creepier than using some kid who looks like a vampire to make me jealous?"

"Much creepier." He smiled and finally opened his eyes lazily, brown locking with hazel like maple syrup poured on fresh pancakes. He dragged himself up to meet Warren's lips in a kiss. It wass lazy and sweet, and the smile Warren could feel taking over his face was mirrored when Will pulled away. He looked down, though, rolled off Warren to lie on his side next to him and propped his head on his palm, tracing invisable patterns on Warren's chest.

"Hi," Warren said, a little belatedly.

"Yes, I am,"Will smiled, continuing his languid movements. "Uh... what're we going to do about Layla?"

"You said you guys broke up."

Will shrugged. "I don't know, we fought, and when we do, it's usually an unofficial break-up."

"Well, what do you want me to do? She's your girlfriend. Or ex, whatever."

"Yeah, but when you thought I wanted to get back with her, you gave me advice." Will dropped his head to dip his tongue inside Warren's navel, feeling the way his stomache caved when Will lightly ran his fingertips across where his sixpack faded into his hips.

"Mmm..." Warren answered helpfully, arching into Will's mouth as he made his way up Warren's chest in tiny kitten laps. The sweat had long since dried from their skin, but they still tasted like salt and sex.

"Love you," Will murmured, so soft he wasn't sure he'd really said it.

"You say something?"

"No."

"Mm." Warren tugged Will up and kissed him, fingers playing on the soft skin of his waist, fingering the bruises and scratches that were already forming. Will hissed softly when he pressed down too hard on a particularly violet mark, and he whispered, "Sorry." A beat. "Did I hurt you?" He lowered his hand to Wills ass casually, so that he'd know what he was talking about.

"A little," he answered softly. "It's okay. More than worth it."

Warren looked a bit skeptical, but didn't say anything. "Okay."

"Do... I mean, should we tell everyone else? The guys, I mean." The about us is unsaid, apparently unneeded, but the way Will looked at him from under his eyelashes told Warren he still wasn't sure if Warren wanted this.

As if he was the one who should be worried.

"If you want to," Warren shrugged. "If you don't want to tell them, I won't make you. Although we should. We don't have to tell the whole school, just Ethan, Zach, Maj, and Taryn. And obviously Layla," he smirked, watching Will's face fall comically.

"But you don't think they'll find it odd when I can barely keep myself from attacking you?"

"Eh, not really. Besides, I'm not one for PDA, you know that." He grinned. "Have to content myself with groping you when no one's around."

Will smiled back.

"I need to shower," he muttered, taking Will's hand off his chest. He kissed his palm and got up, smirking once his back was turned because he could feel the way Will's eyes were buring a whole in him. He turned back, smirked wider when Will's eyes snapped up to his own. "You coming, or not?"

"Uh... yeah," Will answered, and scrambled after his boyfriend, pointedly ignoring his laughter.

---

And it was lunch again. Warren was reading Kane and Abel, Taryn was writing in her journal, speaking haltingly as she said every word she was writing, apparently going into intricate detail about her latest screw. That kid had an uncanny way of turning straight girls. Magenta was watching Larry and the rest of the heroes--minus Warren and Will--with startling interest for some reason, clutching her phone in her hand, as if waiting for a text, and Zach and Ethan were constructing the Eiffel Tower with the plasticware and mystery meat.

Will and Layla were missing,but Warren wasn't worried. Knew he had to leave the two to do their thing, and if Layla wanted to kill him afterwards, so be it. He knew her almost as well as he knew Will, and of course Will would have a horrible way with words and Warren might have to fix the damage, but he knew that at the end of the day, Layla would be that sweet girl who understood that Will and Warren were telling her because it wouldn't be fair to any of them for them to stay together.

"Guys," Taz said, setting her pen down and closing her notebook, "I have big news. You guys are never going to believe this; sit down." She looked around. "Good. Now, for the first time in my life, I am in love!" She waited excitedly, but no one said anything. However, a simultaneous groan came from the whole table. "No, no, I'm serious! She's amazing, she's beautiful, she's smart, and it's for real this time, I swear!"

No one said anything, and it wasn't from disbelief--okay, it was a little--but it was mostly 'cause no one really cared. "Alright now about this: I told her."

Zach and Ethan stopped their sculpting and Zach said, "Okay, what'd she say?"

"That she loves me too," Taryn beamed. "So there."

And that was the end of that. Will got back then and sat down next to Warren. He lefted his head, raised one eyebrow in question and recieved a headshake in return. Okay; he hadn't told her yet.

"Guys, we have something to tell you." And that was Warren's cue; he dog-eared the corner of the page he was on and put the book on the table, flicking his hair out of his eyes and folding his arms, not saying anything, but his quiet presence letting Will know he'd fill in if he messed up.

Like he always did.

"I'm with Warren."

Well, that was subtle.

Ethan stared blankly at him, Taryn grinned, Magenta lifted an eyebrow and continued to watch Larry with one eye, and Zach nodded with that vacant smile of his like he was waiting for Will to elaborate on that.

"Er... that's it. No, wait, it's not! I mean--"

"You don't know it you and Layla are officially broken up," Ethan supplied.

"Uh... yeah and..."

"You'd appreciate it if we kept it quiet till you tell her yourself," Magenta answered, looking at Will while she talked but everting her gaze when she was done, back to Larry.

"Right; also..."

"And of course don't say anything to your parents or anyone here at school until you decide to go public," Taryn nodded.

"Uh-huh." Will looked at Zach then, waiting for his imput.

Zach stroked his chin and managed not to look mocking at all, in that way of his, and shrugged. "Nah, I got nothing. But I got your back, don't worry."

Will smiled genuinely to everyone. "Thank you, guys, you're the greatest."

"We know," Magenta said solemnly. She looked back at him. "I'm happy for you guys." She took a deep breath. "One more story, but again, mum's the word. You know Layla, she would never cheat on you, even if she didn't love you, but, really, I think she has a teeny-weeny nearly non-existant thing for Larry."

Which wasn't as absurd as it sound; the boy had gotten much taller, not as lanky and had gotten contacts. He was really not bad-looking.

"But you know she'd never act on anything, so I think it's best for you to break it to her easy, when you tell her."

"Okay," Will nodded, discreetly laying a hand on Warren's upper thigh. "Thanks again, you guys."

----

"Okay, so crisis averted," Will said as Warren spooned him. He grinned inwardly. He'd never pegged him for a cuddler. They were at Warren's house, getting ready to go to sleep.

"One, anyway, you still have to tell your parents and Layla. Never mind the school, they'll get over it. It's not like you're gay."

"Yeah." He was bi, that was pretty much a given, and the school already knew it. One of those things that was known but no one ever really talked about. Will's cell phone rang on Warren's bedside table, and he groaned, but picked it up.

"Yeah?"

Hey you," Taryn chirped in his ear. "I'll get right to the point, 'cause you know I have a life, unlike some people. Do you want me to talk to Layla?"

"Of course not, Taz, I have to." He'd love nothing more than to have her do it instead, but he did have class after all. Er, well... some.

"I know, but I'll talk to her, tell her not to go all Carrie on you, and say it in a way that makes it seem like it ws a secret and it slipped out."

Will contemplated this. It wasn't a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all. "Okay. But please, don't make it seem like I cheated on her and don't give a crap about her feelings. And please don't make it seem like I only got together with Warren to make her jealous."

"Got it, boss. Now go get laid; I know I will."

"Bye."

He set the phone back on the table with a sigh, and explained to Warren, expecting... not what he got, which was a nuzzle to the back of his neck along with a soft kiss to the same spot."Hope you know what you're doing."

"Me too."

A few minutes passed, and Warren's kisses stopped as Will got sleepier, and Warren got more and more tired, knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep. "How come I'm the little spoon?" Will asked, half-asleep.

"'Cause you're the girl."

"'M not."

"You bottomed."

"Well, my cock wouldn't be able to fit in your ass, no matter how great it is."

Warren snorted "What's great, your cock, or my ass?"

"Pick," Will murmured into his pillow, felt the smile against his back and whispered as an afterthought, "I love you."

"I know."

Will stiffened. "I didn't know you could hear that. And how do you know?"

"Heard you the first time."

"Why didn't you say anything?!"

"Wanted you to be sure. Why didn't you say it louder?" Warren countered.

"Didn't want to say it loud enough and risk not having it said back."

"I haven't said it back," Warren reminded.

"But you've shown me." Will wiggled around till he turned in Warren's arms, and draped one leg over Warren's hips. "You don't have to say it."

And he leaned forward to capture Warren's bottom lip between his teeth, biting hard enough to swipe his tongue avross it and them processed to map out Warren's mouth with his tongue as Warren did the same.
