Author note: A little late, again, but RL commitments are eating my brain.
Warning: Sex, pseudo-science, Henry being emotional.
Pair: William Zimmerman and Henry Foss.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sanctuary, because if I did the ending would be more of an ending, rather than just stopping like it did. Stupid cancellations...

Henry gently disengaged, and allowed Will to greet the three people hovering near them.

"Richard! Good to see you, man. Long time no see!" they did the awkward bro-hug that Magnus always found so amusing. "Lucy, Laura, you girls look as gorgeous as I remember." More hugs went around. "Henry, these three were my best friends in high school; Richard McCord, Lucy Armstrong, and Laura Greene. Guys, Henry Foss, my-"

"Boyfriend!" Lucy squealed. Henry and Will both winced.

"Not the term we like, but yeah." Henry held out a hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Lucy shook cheerfully. Laura seemed a little apprehensive, but accepted his hand anyway. Henry had seen that before – people who were wary of how to treat him were usually sensitive in some way, picking up on his Abnormality. Will saw it too, and glanced at his lover worriedly. Henry bit his lip.

"You're sensitive?" he asked. Richard and Lucy gave him a funny look, and Laura looked taken aback, but she nodded. "That explains it."

"How did you know that?" Laura asked, sounding nervous. "Explains what?" Henry started chewing the lip, and leant back against Will, who understood immediately.

"Henry has a similar ability." He explained, snaking a hand around Henry's waist, running little circles across his hip reassuringly. Laura nodded, still anxious. "You're both good with feeling things other people usually can't."

"Was that a sex joke?" Richard smirked. Will flushed as the girls giggled. Henry raised an eyebrow, holding in a dirty joke or flirtatious retort.

"How about we all go to the bar tonight and catch up?" Will floundered. "I mean, you know how it'll be this afternoon – this is probably the only time we'll get to actually talk, and I can see the old Prof getting on the stage, so there's probably a speech, and then the dinner with the shitty seating plan, and-"

"Will." Henry cut him off. "Babbling is my job, remember?" Will chuckled.

"I know." He squeezed gently before removing his arm from around his lover's waist. "So... you three fancy coming out?" Will slipped into his faked English accent.

"Aye, let's make a proper night of it." A soft Scottish drawl rolled naturally off Henry's tongue, making the others laugh. "Free buffet here, drinks at wherever you want to go, back to ours for snogs and scrabble." Will recoiled, mock disgust written across his features.

"You have spent far too much time with Magnus." He laughed. "Next thing you know, you'll be drinking tea instead of coffee, and reading instead of playing with your computers." Henry snorted, and rolled his eyes.

"Me without coffee? Unlikely. Which actually reminds me..." he pointed at the drinks table and wandered off to grab a drink.

"Two sugars for me." Will called after him. Henry flipped him off over his shoulder, making Will smile fondly. Unbeknownst to him, the smile was accompanied by a slight blush as blue eyes hesitated on Henry's backside as he walked away.

"Don't think I don't see that look, Zimmerman." Lucy cooed. "You, my friend, have it bad for that boy." Will raised an eyebrow at her. "Come on, Will. You were this dork version of a ladies' man during high school, and now you're in a serious relationship with a guy? It must be love."

"It's complicated." Will sighed. Laura patted his arm reassuringly.

"So, you're in lust rather than love. That's cool too."

"Yeah, Will. We're all adults, we can live with you banging another guy." Will's eyes flicked across his friend.

"It makes you uncomfortable." He stated. "I'm paid to identify and recognise peoples' body language; and everything about your posture is screaming that you don't like it."

"It's not that I don't like it." Richard disagreed. "I'm just not really experienced with this... kind of thing. My son came out as gay last week, and I'm not really sure how to take it, that's all." The others blinked.

"You have a wife and kid?" Lucy asked.

"Two, a boy and a girl. Twins." Richard corrected.
