Summary: Scout and Will are in St Martins (not totally sure that's where they went but I don't really care)

They were in their hotel room, Will was sitting writing in his diary and Scout was reading a brochure about the area stretched out on the bed.

Will look over what he had just written and frowned.  He had thought that writing about his feelings for Scout would make things clearer but they hadn't.  And he realised it never would, he just had to accept that he was in Love with his best friend, one that just happened to be a guy and one he was sharing a hotel room with for 2 whole weeks.

Scout watched his best friend as he read over what he had written and watched as his half smile turned to a frown and although he could only see half his face he knew that his usually bright eyes would be dull and sad. He felt a pain deep in his heart and it took all his will power to not get up and run over and wrap his arms around him because he knew that as soon as he did that he would be making his feelings for Will to obvious, not just to Will but to himself and he wasn't ready to believe that he was gay even though deep down he knew he was completely in love with Will.

I've got to tell him how I feel even if it wreaks our friendship and I've got to do it now before I chicken out.  Will got up and strode quickly across the room to where Scout lay on the bed.

Scout sat up as he saw Will heading his way looking terrified.

Will stopped just before he reached him, took a deep breath leant down and kissed Scout lightly on the lips.

He began to pull away but Scout grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back down into a passionate kiss filled with all the fillings they had both been hiding for so long, want, need, longing, love and lust all rolled into one long, hard kiss.

Eventually they pulled apart when they both needed air and collapsed onto the bed side by side.  "God, we shouldn't have done that!" Scout said after they had both had time to catch their breath and he jumped off the bed and started to head towards the door, he needed time to think, to decide what to do.

"I'm sorry" Will said quietly and it was this that made Scout stop, he could hear the pain and fear in his voice, pain that he was causing by walking away from him.  He turned around and was shocked to see Will crying softly muttering "I'm Sorry, I fell in love with you". Scout felt as if a thousand daggers had pierced his heart at that moment as he saw the guy he loved in tears.  He moved back onto the bed and gently put his arms around Will. Then held him tightly and whispered "I'm Not sorry I fell in love with you" Will's eyes flew open at the sound of him saying that.

"What did you say?" Will asked not entirely sure whether he had imagined that or not.

"I said I'm not sorry I fell in Love with you" Scout answered sincerely as he looked deeply into Will's blue eyes, smiling as a smile crept across Wills lips, "I'm not sorry I fell in love with you either" he replied as Scout wiped away the remaining tears from his face and then lent in towards him for a gentle kiss which clearly displayed their feelings for each other.

They spent the next hour like that, lying on Scouts bed just enjoying being able to hold each other and kissing every so often too afraid to talk because they both knew that when they did they would have to accept the fact that this wasn't an ordinary relationship.

"We are going to have to talk about this sometime" Will said breaking the silence.

"I know, believe me I know" Scout replied

"We're Gay" Will said mater of factly and he saw Scout flinch at the mention of the work gay and he had to blink to keep back the tears he could feel approaching. "Look Scout" he said his voice shaking slightly "If you can't deal with this. With us. Then just say I'll understand and we can forget this ever happened"

"Could you really forget this?"

"Of course not but I could cope, but not if you don't tell me soon, every minute I'm with you I fall for you more and I'm not sure I could take it if you told me in couple days you didn't want to be with me" Will said sadly

"That's not going to happen Will.  This is going to take a while to get used to but I've loved you since the day we met and I'm not going to do anything to hurt you or to ruin what we've got" Scout said running his finger gently across wills jaw line.
