Chapter Ten:

"So let me get this straight. Warren was your everything, but he screwed up really badly, and two years later he comes back for you. So you sleep with him and dump your perfectly good boyfriend, but now you don't know what to do?"

"Wow, you sure are good at getting right to the point." Will replied.

He had been sitting in the diner for over an hour, pouring his heart out to this complete stranger. He knew he should feel stupid, after all, he didn't even know this girl, but it felt so good to get it out and talk to someone who didn't already have an opinion.

"Well," she said as she twirled her finger through her hair "It seems to me like you've already decided."

"Hardly. I know I did the right thing with Daniel… but what about Warren?"

"Did you miss him?"

"Yeah… god yeah."

"And, you're happy now that he's back."

"Of course. It was so hard not to see him everyday."

"And you still love him right?"

"Well, yeah. I'm always gonna love him."

"Will." She said, smiling broadly and shaking her head slightly in disbelief. "It's so obvious you want to be with him. I don't even know you guys and I can tell that."

"It's not that simple." Will said. "How can I trust him again?"

"Life is hard Will. Sometimes you get hurt, but you can't just shut down. He left because he thought that was right and it clearly wasn't, he knows that. I don't think he would do it again now that he knows…"

"So what should I do?"

"Get in your car. Go see him."

Will smiled and stood up. He was nervous, but excited at the same time.

"Thanks….um… god I've been talking to you for this long and I didn't even ask your name, you must think I'm so lame."

The girl laughed softly and rubbed Will's shoulder.

"Nah, you're just distracted. I'm Sophie."

-

Warren growled slightly under his breath, angry at himself for getting so worked up. What he was about to do was beyond moronic.

"Jeez Warren, snap out of it." He thought "You're not a fourteen year old girl!"

He took one more moment before knocking on the door of Wills house. It had been a long day, especially since he had been searching for Will all day. He didn't want to push Will, but not seeing him at all left an ache he just couldn't get away from.

The door opened slowly, revealing Steve Stronghold, the one person who was certain to make this day even worse. Warren frowned. So far he had been lucky enough to avoid seeing Mr. Stronghold and he was hoping for his luck to continue. Of course, his luck never worked out the way he hoped.

"Hello Mr. Stronghold." Warren said, trying to keep his tone even, verging on politeness.

"You." Steve spat. "What the hell do you think you're doing here?"

"I'm not here to fight sir... I'm here to see Will. Can I come in?"

"Like hell you can!" He yelled, visibly shaking. Warren swallowed hard. If Steve were to really lose his temper, this could turn into a fight one of them wouldn't walk away from.

"Mr Stronghold, Look, I appreciate that I'm probably the last person you want to see, especially with your son, but we have a lot of history... a lot of unfinished business... I'm still a part of his life."

"Peace, you are a stupid, arrogant child. You really have no idea how badly I wanna kick your ass right now. I could handle the fact that you turned my son into a homo, I could even handle that fact that out of all the men in Maxville, he had to choose the son of my arch enemy, but there is no way in hell I'm letting you back into his life now. You broke him Warren."

He clenched his fist around the doorway, not even blinking as it cracked under the pressure of his vice like grip.

"You broke him Warren. That's something you can never make up for."

Warren took a deep breath. He wanted to lash out, to curse and yell. He wanted to burn the superior look right off of Steve's face. But he didn't.

He just turned and walked away.

-

"What the hell am I doing?" Will asked himself as he stepped out of Warrens shower. After leaving the cafe he had driven directly to Warrens home. When he found that nobody was home, he let himself in with the key Warren had given to him years ago.

He had come here many times after Warren had left, sleeping in their bed and trying to recapture the feelings he had had when they were together, It had never worked, but wandering around in Warrens home today felt just as natural as it had two years ago.

He dried his body and hair silently before walking into the bedroom and climbing naked into bed. The sun was shining through the open window, keeping Will warm as he drifted off for an afternoon nap.

-

Warren sighed, banging his head softly against the front door of his home. All in all, today had not gone as planned, and he was sure nothing would make him feel better.

It felt like it had been forever since he had seen Will and he was getting nervous. Antsy really.

He let himself in and slowly walked up the stairs, dropping his jacket and shirt on the floor as he went. Maybe he would pick is up later, or maybe he would leave it there until the smell started to bother him.

He walked into the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed, kicking off his shoes and socks before pulling off his leather pants, resisting the urge to burn them off.

"That wouldn't be pleasant." He thought to himself, smiling slightly. He pulled off his boxers and considered closing the curtains before getting into bed, as he was sure his elderly neighbors wouldn't appreciate the free show.

He crawled into bed slowly, ignoring the fact that it was still far too sunny to go to sleep.

"Hey Warren."

Warren jumped out of bed immediately, clenching his fists, ready to power up, before registering who had spoken.

"Shit Will!" He cried, his relief dampened by the sense of confusion he felt. "What the hell?"

"Sorry Warren." Will said, smiling coyly from the bed.

"Not that I mind..." Warren said slowly as he tried to slow his heart rate, "But what are you doing?"

"Ren... I'm sick of everything."

"What do you mean Will?"

"I'm sick of my friends, my family, school... everything. I'm tired of worrying about what other people think is right for me. It's so tiring trying to please everyone all the time... so I quit."

"You... quit?"

"Yeah. From now on, I'm just gonna do what I want to do."

"And what do you want to do?" Warren asked, a small smirk playing at his lips.

"You." Will said, without shame or embarrassment. He pulled away the blankets, revealing himself to Warren. "So instead of just standing there looking sexy, why don't you get over here?"

Warren climbed onto the bed, wrapping his arms tightly around Will and kissed him hard. He pulled away suddenly, smiling.

"Will... I don't know where you went today, or what happened, but damn, I love this side of you!"

AN: Ugh lack of updates = college is crazy. Apparently I'm not too old to get caught up in all of the craziness, but its going pretty well. This semester I'm studying English literature, film studies and American Marketing.. so maybe in the end I will write a book, make it into a movie and market it to Disney?

Somehow I doubt Disney will go for hot boy on boy action though :P Oh well, at least I can feel superior to my siblings when I get my degree. Happy reading, hope you're all working on some hot WarrenXWill goodness :P

xoxo Dylan.
