The two sat together at a park bench. The windy day made people bring out their scarfs and knit hats. A few couples walked with their arms linked together, smiling. Will glanced at Jem, who was sipping on hot coffee. Will watched Jem's hands wrap around the cup tightly. He wanted to hold those hands and lace them together. But Will was still unsure if they were going out or just friends with benefits.

"Is there something on my face?" Jem asked.

"No. I just like looking at you."

Jem blushed, setting down his coffee. He noticed Will looking at his hands. So Jem held Will's cold hands and blew warm air on them. Will had this pulling and pushing feeling inside him. It was telling him to ask Jem if there was anything between them.

Jem looked up at Will. He was tugging nervously at his scarf. "Do you want to say anything?"

Will pulled his hands back, startled. "Er - no - not really..."

"Just tell me." Jem smiled warmly.

"I don't think it's a good time to," Will said, laughing uneasily.

Jem frowned. "No, seriously just tell me!"

Will sighed. "Are we going out?"

Jem's eyes widened. "Oh - uh - erm - I - "

"I knew it," Will mumbled. "I'll see you later, James." He picked out a dried leaf stuck to his laces and got up.

Jem quickly held onto Will. "Don't. Please."

"I just have to sort things out."

Will softy pulled Jem's hand down and walked away.

Again. It was happening again. But Will will come back again, like last time, right?

Jem walked home after Will disappeared from the park. He went to Will's apartment. He didn't know why he was there. But he knew something had to happen. Jem pressed the doorbell. He waited in front of the door for an hour. Will wasn't home, but Jem stood in the hallway, waiting.


Will walked up and down streets. He didn't bother reading street names. He didn't care where he was. Will just needed to think.

He stopped in front of a mini café. The store seemed like a nice peaceful place, and it was. Will entered. Little chimes on the door chimed when Will pulled it open. A nice woman smiled at him.

"Welcome to Charie Cafe. I'm Nenny. What can I get you today, honey?"

Will followed Nenny who gave him a quick tour of the pastries in the display counter. Cute little decorative ones, chocolate filled, colorful cookies adorned with fall leaves and frosted acorns. Will ordered the plainest ones, making Nenny question him.

"What type of person doesn't like sweets?"

Will forced a smile. "I'll order some different ones next time."

Nenny waved him off. "Enjoy your first time here, honey."

Will thanked her and took a seat next to the large window.

He wondered why there weren't a lot if people here, even though many pass by here. Will did a quick scan of the room. A girl sat by herself Skyping a boyfriend or so, a couple feeding each other, and a customer walking in. Seeing the couple made Will's mood dampen. Would him and Jem ever do that? James.

The customer who came in was Gideon. The Lightwood sat across from the dark-head.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Gideon flashed his pearl whites. "I'm just confirming a gossip."

Will sighed. "Of course. It's not like you're here to have a lovely chat about life."

"Let's just get straight to the point. They are saying you and James are going out. What's the truth truth?"

"We are not going out, apparently," Will mumbled the last part.

"So what is going in between you two?"

"I don't know. I asked him today but he was unsure. Wait, why am I answering this?"

"Because I'm incredibly irresistible."

"You're joking."

Gideon shook his head seriously. "I believe I am in many desires of women and men.

"Oh my gosh.." Will swept his hand down his face, annoyed.

Gideon mixed spoonfuls of sugar into his tea, while chatting about nothing. Will shut out the blonde.

Jem's face popped into his mind. The smile Jem made when he was with Will made Will's heart melt. But what if that smile was never to be his? What if that smile was just a common smile Jem made when he was with all of his friends? Would Will ever own that smile?

Gideon left after he noticed that Will wasn't listening to him.

"Finally."

Nenny was cleaning up the café, ready to close it for the afternoon. "Are you going home already, honey?"

"Yes. Thank you, Nenny."

"Come back soon. You better order something other than those sugar cookies!"

Will smiled and walked out. He tightened the scarf so that it covered his mouth and nose. The chilly breeze swept through the scarf anyways.


Ding.

Will stepped out of the elevator. He dug in his pockets for the keys to his apartment. A small figure curled up across from his door.

"Are you okay?" Will nudge the person's shoulder slightly. They fell over, their hood pulled back.

It was Jem. He had his eyes closed, sleeping.

"Shit." Will opened his apartment and carried the silver-head in.

Jem was incredibly cold, and considering that Jem had a weak body, he was far from just cold. Will brought out all the blankets he had and wrapped Jem up.

Will sat on the floor by his bed, his laptop on his lap. He looked over his shoulder once a while to check Jem.

He was in the middle of reading an article when a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. Jem pressed his lips along the side of Will's neck. Will shuddered, the laptop falling to the floor.

Will jumped on the bed and pinned down Jem. "Why are you doing this?"

Jem cupped Will's face. "I'm sorry for not thinking about what type of relationship we have."

"James." Will kissed Jem hard, thirsty for him.

His hand ripped open Jem's button-up and pants. He rubbed the growing erection, earning lusty moans.

"Will, slow down," Jem whispered. He held Will's hands from yanking open his boxers. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Yeah, but -"

Jem chuckled. "I shouldn't be the one to say that, since I'm the one who's worried about you leaving."

Will laced his fingers through Jem's messy hair. "I like you, a lot."

"Me, too." Jem shyly smiled.

"Can that pass off as 'will you go out with me?'"

Jem pulled Will down in for another kiss. He arched his back off the bed, body begging to be touched.

"I guess it can."
