Set during chapter 3 of Heartburn after the food fight
"Darling, I bought you a new hat," said William, upon entering his home that he shared with his girlfriend Dorothy Unsworth. He stopped by Dorothy's favorite hat boutique after William lost his cool at the competition earlier. And if the look of rage and pure disappointment on Charlotte's face was any indication on how in the dog house Yami was going to be, William could only imagine that his narcoleptic cheerful girlfriend was probably equally as pissed and disappointed.
Dorothy was sleeping, not odd for her at any point in the day, but sometimes, William knew that Dorothy wasn't always sleeping.
This was one of those times.
She gave him the finger and William cringed.
He absolutely hated when she gave him the silent treatment. It was like torture.
William went over to the couch where she was sitting fake-sleeping and sat next to her. He placed the hat box on the coffee table. "Dotty, don't be mad at me."
Dorothy snorted.
"Please, I'm sorry that I made a big mess. But it was Yami's fault," William explained. "He started it."
"Are you two still children" asked Dorothy, not evening opening her eyes. She always complained that the world was too bright for her eyes. "Honestly, Will, you and Yami ruined Yuno's big moment and poor Asta did so well for his very first competition. Shame on you two for making it about yourselves and not your students."
William knew that he was going to have to apologize both to Yuno and Asta and he was going to have to talk to that big lug Yami.
"You're right, darling," said William, kissing her cheek before she could swat him away. "I'll make you some food and take a look at your new hat."
Moments later…
Once she was sure that William was occupied in the kitchen, Dorothy opened her eyes and spotted the hat box on the coffee table. He really was sweet sometimes, even if he did drive her up the wall with his complex towards Yami.
She opened the box and beamed. William really knew her tastes too well. It was a beautiful pink witches' hat with flowers on its rim.
Well, as she stood up, it wasn't like she was super, truly mad at him, only disappointed. She guessed that he deserved a kiss.
