Hey guys sorry I haven't been posting... Again. Hopefully you guys like this, I really hope so. I've been going through a crap time lately. I won't go into details cause I know you guys aren't interested in my problems, but instead your interested in what happens to these characters in this story. Honestly same. I'll continue to update as regularly as possible. Hopefully cause it's my school holidays I can get more out than usual. Thanks to those who leave comments, you are all so nice I honestly love you all. Sorry about my grammar and spelling. Hugs, kisses and cookies (::)
Will didn't know what to do, he really didn't. The guy that he was absolutely and utterly infatuated with basically said he wanted to be with him. But that was a problem in itself, he didn't say yes or no, he didn't really answer Wills question at if he had said that out of pity? Out of awkwardness? If Will said yeah he wanted a date and then it didn't work out then their friendship would be ruined and it would be all his fault because he couldn't just leave it at friends. But then again it might end up being fantastic with a sappy happily ever after. Will groaned burying his head further into his pillow. "Dude come on your making a bigger deal out of this than you need to" Will heard Connor say to him with a mixture between annoyance and amusement. "Yeah man come on, you can't just stay here hiding, you haven't even spoken to the guy since this shit happened. You have to figure it out eventually" Travis agreed with his brother.
Will groaned again slowly rolling over turning on his back staring at the ceiling "of course I haven't spoken to him, what would I even say? 'Oh hey Neeks, yeah I would love to go out with you but I'm super self conscious about myself to the point of literal self hate that makes me feel unworthy of the happiness I feel when I'm with you. Oh and I'm terrified that I will lose you if I go out with you which is not something I want to happen because I'm super clingy and dependent on you being here, oh! And I have abandonment issues. Ready for that date?'" He heard as sigh from the boys "Dramatic much?" Will heard Travis chuckle "shut it Trav I'm really not in the mood". Connor rolled his eyes for what was probably the hundredth time during this conversation and sat down on the bed with Will "dude, the guy is head over heels for you. Just talk to him, tell him how you feel and communicate. Staying here stinking up the room with your depressed man-child sadness isn't helping anything. So get off your ass, get your wanna be doctor self in the shower and wash the sadness and shame away, get frigging dressed and go and talk to him."
Travis nodded enthusiastically behind his brother "yeah seriously dude you need to get your ass out of this bed and on to Di Angelo" Will groaned throwing a pillow at the boy "why can't you both just let me wallow in my self pity?" Conner rolled his eyes moving to flick Will on the arm "cause then we wouldn't be us, the world would be terrible without us" Will looked to the boy who shot him a lopsided grin "indeed brother, well put" Travis said with the same identical smile. Will sighed heavily sitting up and forcing himself out of bed. Both boys applauded him whistling triumphantly, Travis pretended to cry saying how proud he was of his "widdle billy Will" and Connor then began acting like a news reporter reporting on the shocking new news on Wills movements. Even with all of the crazy stuff that those boys put him through he couldn't help but be thankful to have them in his life. They always knew how to lighten a mood and make him smile.
Will grabbed a towel and a change of clothes before going for his shower being sure to give them both the bird on the way. The shower helped Will think, just like the ocean did. He hadn't surfed in what seemed to be forever but he could imagine the water abound him, the crashing waves. It was calm at the beach, away from medical supplies and ever looming responsibilities and expectations. Will liked going to the beach because it was so natural, the beach was untouched by people. It was permanent and pure. What scared Will more than anything was the fact that Nico was his other calming source. Nico despite his dark mysterious exterior and his grumpy sarcastic nature was permanent too. The way he would speak in soft whispers to calm Will, his soft touches and his gentle eyes. The way he would quietly listen to Will when he needed to talk about his problems, even though Will knew Nico already knew about his problems.
Nico always knew when something was wrong. He always knew how to make him feel better. He knew Will. Will sighed sliding down the wall of the shower putting his head on his knees letting the water run over him. Nico had become the one Will had come to depend on, the one he looked to for advice, for company, for help, for anything. Because any excuse to see Nico was a good one. And now he was moping in his bathroom about the boy he liked and the only one he wanted to talk the situation out with just happened to be the same one the situation was about. Will sighed turning the water off before getting dressed and shaving away the stubble that had grown far too long. Will threw his old clothes in the laundry basket before making his way to the door but before he opened it a loud knock sounded outside it, a voice then spoke to him through the door. A voice that made him want to jump with happiness but also made him want to hide "William we need to talk" Nico said firmly. Will took a deep breath before opening the door.
