Chapter Six

Warren peace stepped out of his shower, wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out into the hallway, shivering as his bare feet touched the cold wooden floor. He went into his bedroom and closed the door behind him. He sighed loudly, relieved to be back in his bedroom again. Clothes still littered the floor, and Warren grinned when he saw the posters on his walls. He was home. Safe.

Warren flicked off the light and pulled off his towel. he climbed into bed naked, slightly aware that if he went too sleep with his hair wet, it would be crazy in the morning. He closed his eyes and exhaled loudly through his nose, shivering slightly as his body touched the cold silk sheets of his bed. The phone rang,

"What the fuck!" Warren yelled. He considered leaving it to ring, but it could be important, so he jumped out of bed and walked naked down the hallway to the phone.

"One of the many benefits of living alone." he thought. He picked up the phone and held it to his ear. He yawned slightly.

"Hello?"

"Oh hey Warren." Said the voice. It was Will.

"Are you ok? What's wrong? Where are you?" Warren asked hurriedly. His insides tightened. Will wouldn't call so late unless it was important.

"Oh no I'm fine." He said "I just wanted to say hi."

Warren rolled his eyes and ran his free hand through his hair.

"You know, just because your my boyfriend doesn't mean you get to annoy me. I was just about to go to bed." Warren said, pretending to be mad.

"Sorry Ren." Will said quietly. "...are you in pajamas?"

Warren spluttered and laughed down the phone.

"No Will... a little less."

"Boxers?"

"Less..."

Warren smiled as he heard Will giggle down the phone.

"So what's up really Will? It's pretty late." Warren asked. He sat down on the floor and shivered.

"I can't sleep babe. Can I come and see you?" he asked.

A wide grin spread across Warrens face. He stood up again and stretched

"Will.."

"Yeah?"

"This is a booty call isn't it?" Warren said and grinned, feeling both foolish for saying "Booty Call" and excited at the idea.

"No!" Will said loudly. Warren pulled the phone away from his ear and grimaced. " I just wanna see you... and cuddle. You shouldn't be alone on your first night home."

"Ok, want me to come and get you?" Warren asked

"No, I can fly over quickly."

"You know where the house is?"

"Uh... no, you've never taken me!" Will exclaimed "Should I be worried?"

"Nah. its 211 Redington Drive, you will find it easy."

"Oh cool, I think I know where that it."

"Awesome. Hey Will, something's going on at school... I need your advice."

"Sure, we can chat when I get there. ...Oh and Warren"

"Yeah..."

"Don't get dressed."

Will Stronghold pulled the laces on his bright red converse all stars tightly before standing up and stepping out of his bedroom window. He floated in the air for a moments and then flew up above the cover of clouds. He shivered slightly, and was glad for the jacket he had put on before he left his home. Will bit his lip excitedly. He had never been to Warren's house before, and he wondered what it was like. Even though he loved Warren, it was hard to imagine him living anywhere nice. But then again, Redington Drive was in a good area.

Will flew fast, anxious to see Warren. The last couple of days back at school had been hard, a lot of work to catch up on, friends to see and teachers to apologize to. He hadn't had a lot of lime to hang out with Warren, and since they had told everyone about being together, it would be nice to spend more time together, doing things couple do. Will giggled while imagining going on a double date with Majenta and Zach.

"Ok, so maybe we will have to work on the couples bonding thing." He thought.

Will flew down lower as he reached Redington Drive, and landed carefully outside Warren's house. He gasped as he got a good look at it. It was huge. Will crossed the lawn quickly and smiled at the garden gnomes sitting next to a large oak tree in the corner of the property. He was sure Warren hadn't realised he could take them away if he wanted to. Will stood back and exhaled loudly. Warren's house really was huge.

All of the lights were off, except for in one room on the third story. He flew up and tapped quietly on the window. Warren sat up from the bed on the other side of the room and smiled his warm, inviting grin. Will blushed a deep red as Warren stood up and walked over to the window, revealing his nudity. Warren opened the window and grinned even more.

"Come on Stronghold, its nothing you haven't seen before." Warren said. He extended his hand to Will, and when he took it, Warren guided Will into the room. He wrapped his muscular arms around Will and pulled him close, sighing as he smelled the younger boys hair.

"I missed you baby." Warren said, before pulling Will into a long kiss.

Meanwhile, in another part of Maxville, Majenta stormed angrily out of Pizza Hut, with Zach following closely behind her. The slight wind pushed her long purple fringe into her face.

"Maj!" Zach called. "Majenta wait!"

She ignored him and carried on walking hurriedly. Zach ran up behind her, grabbed her wrist and span her around. Majenta yanked her arm away from Zach.

"What do you think your doing?" She demanded

"What?" Zach said "What's wrong?"

"How could you say that?"

"Majenta come on, we've been together almost a year now, what did you expect?"

"Not that. Really not. Anything but that!"

She began to walk away again.

"But it's true!" Zach called out desperately "I love you."

Majenta froze in place and turned around slowly.

"Zach... save it ok? That's so... mushy. It's just too much. That's more of a Layla word..."

Majenta walked away again, leaving Zach staring at her back in shock.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said it over pizza yo." he said quietly to himself.

-

Will pulled away from the kiss and smiled at his lover. Warren took held of his hand and pulled him over towards the bed. He lay down on the bed and Will straddled his waist. He leaned down and brushed the hair away from Warren's face. He kissed his nose and sat back up straight.

"So what's up War?" Will asked as he wriggled slightly. Warren groaned and placed his hands on Will's hips, holding him steady.

"Oh you know. Actually, I have something I wanna talk about." Warren replied.

"Sure. What's going on?" Will said, wriggling again. Warren smiled for a moment, but then sat up, guiding Will to sit on the bed. He stood up and walked to the other side of the bedroom. He then opened his dresser drawers and pulled out some white boxers and a tight white shirt. He put them on and sat back down with Will.

"Aww, spoil my fun!" Will said and gently punched Warren on the arm. Warren flinched slightly. "Sorry... super strength..."

"Will, it's about the new teacher at school."

"Miss Fletcher?"

"Yeah. There's something weird about her. She...she threatened me."

Will's eyes went wide 'What? What happened?"

"I don't know exactly. She um, she told me my father had a lot of followers...that would come after me... and I guess that means you too." Warren said. He hung his head, ashamed that he had dragged Will into this situation.

"Oh."

"Yeah. Then I..." Warren began, but he trailed off.

'What? You didn't do anything stupid did you?"

"No!" Warren said and stood up. He ran his hand through his hair and started to pace. "I went to Barron Battle's lair. And I found something. I found a list of his associates and their powers. She was on it."

"Oh...well that's not good."

"I know. When's it gonna be over Will?"

Will stood up and wrapped his arms around Warren's waist. He nuzzled into Warren's neck for a moment.

"I don't know." Will said "Lets just see how it goes."

"Yeah. Okay."

"Lets go to sleep, it sounds corny, but it'll all seem better in the morning."

Will took off hiss clothes and got under the covers, while Warren switched off the bedroom lights. He snuggled next to Will. Warren wrapped his arms around Will and kissed his forehead.

"You're right babe. That really did sound corny."
