Chapter 6: His Protector

Will stared at the coldness in Sebastian's eyes. Almost all of Will's body was shaking with rage. His fists were digging into Sebastian's shirt. Sebatian smirked as he watched Will struggle to do anything to him. Will's blood was boiling even more after that bold comment Sebastian had made. He wondered why he even made it at all. Will realised that the reason he said it was because it was only him and Sebastian in the hallway. No one else was there with him. Not his friends or even Grell. Grell! Will released Sebastian and quickly walked out of the darkness to find Grell. Will felt so stupid to leave him alone with Sebastian's friends alone. Soon Will found Grell who was on the floor next to his locker with his head in his hands whispering words unaudiable to Will's ears. Will crouched down to Grell's level and gently touched his shoulder making Grell jump not so much out of pain but more out of surprise. When Grell's eyes became visible to Will he had seen they were red and puffy from him crying. Will held out his hand for Grell to take and he did. Will supported Grell's weight when he stuggled to get up off the ground. Grell's eyes went wide and to the group when he seen Sebastian coming out of the dark hallway. Sebastian walked up to the two of them, he pushed past Will and whispered into Grell's ear, "Whore." Sebastian then walked away leaving Grell to begin crying again. Will pulled Grell to the bathroom and shut the door.

Will turned on the sink."Don't listen to him Grell." Will angrily but sternly said as getting a wet brown paper towel to have Grell clean up his face. He handed the damp cloth to him, Grell held it in his hands. At first he just stared at it then Grell squeezed it out of frustration and utter torment as he let out more sobs letting water droplets fall to the tiles of the bathroom floor.

Will brought himself closer to Grell, "What did they say to you?" Grell looked to the side as if trying to think about weither or not he should tell him. "Answer me Grell. How am I supposed to help you if you won't let me know what is going on?"

"Its my own problem." Grell cried.

Sighing Will pulled his hand through his hair. "Grell we've been friends now for over four months. We need to communicate more."

"It doesn't involve you Will."

"To Hell it doesn't involve me. I almost hit Sebastian square in the face. I worry everytime your by yourself, about weither or not your safe. I can't stand it. Your just so-"

"Clueless?"

"What?" Will asked wondering where that word came from.

"Thats one of the things they said. They said I was 'clueless' that no one wanted me here. Even you would get tired of being around me just like everyone else. They said that I was 'stupid' thinking that anyone would love me let alone like me." Grell said with every racking sob.

Will trying to controll his confused feelings he awkwardly hugged Grell trying to grant him some slight form of comfort in his wrecked state. Grell's eyes were wide as his friend hugged him softly against his body. "Try not to think too much of this." Will stated, "You just needed this." Will felt two hesitant arms wrap themselves around his back pulling him closer to Grell's body.

"Yes, I do need this." Grell said calmly, trying to calm down his words along with his tears that were still flowing rapidly from his eyes down his cheeks.

"Ok." Will began as releasing Grell,"Time to go we've got class."

"Yeah, class." Grell hid his blush that was forming on his cheeks underneath the bangs hanging low on his face.

School went by very slow for the two of them. The seconds turned to minutes the minutes to hours and so on as the day went by. It came to the weekend and the two of them remained inseperable. Both exchanging secret glances at the other when one of them wasn't looking. Will was begining to realise that this boy, Grell, was begining to be so much more than just a friend to him. Will was begining to fall in love. He tried to hide it on the count that he told Grell he wasn't gay but keeping it in just made the butterflies in his stomach churn even more. Will began to watch and notice every little thing Grell did. Like when he was nervous or scared he would nervously look at the floor and bite his lip. When Grell would get excited he would jump up and down like a little girl. Grell to him, was beyond cute, and he thought it too. He admitted to himself he thought Grell was cute. One of the things he loved about Grell is that he loved the color red. Everything that was red he was attracted to. He even loved red when it was blood on a movie they seen together. The fascination with red that Grell had fascinated Will all the more. After being with Grell for so long as friends. He finally decided he should at least tell him he kinda liked him. Oh who was he kidding he wanted him bad. He wanted Grell all for himself. He wanted to clean Grell of any scars that Sebastian left on him. He wanted to bring Grell out of his shell. Sure when they were alone Grell would be really goofy and clutzy. He would fall on his couch after tripping over a rug and he would look at Will with a smile saying 'I'm a clutz but I love my life and I'm going to have fun with it.' Will noticed everything, and he loved everything about him and what he did. There was just a small problem: His family. Will's family was not so excepting with the facts or individualism and differences. So Will was deathly afraid of his father finding out about his little crush. All he could wonder is what was he to do?
