I have tried to put some Will & Grace references, I hope you will get it. Anyway let me know what you think !

Will went to look who was at the door. He wasn't expecting anyone, or at least anyone who was civilized enough to knock on the door, but Julia was in the shower. He was surprised to see Leo there but when he finally opened it he was even more surprised to see that he wasn't alone. Three men were standing behind him. He could recognize Frank, even if he had changed in the past eighteen years. He would always recognize the man who had put so much distance between him and his best friend. It was his fault he hadn't seen Julia in so many years, whereas, before Frank came into her life, they both knew every move the other was doing. Maybe it was for the best. That way they both had built a family and stopped that weird dependant relationship they had. He had "married" Vince and adopted two children. She had finally made it to Broadway and raised a son she loved. Even if her family seemed to crumble she had been happy. He knew it. But he still couldn't forgive Frank.

"Frank."
"Will."

They didn't shake hands. Just a slight move of the head.
He looked at the other two men, having no idea who they were.

Tom took one step towards him and shook his hand. "I'm Tom, Julia's writing partner."
Will smiled, he finally met his replacement.

Michael took one step forward and raised his hand too. "Michael." He didn't really know what to add after that. He wasn't really anything official to her.
But Will didn't need any more informations. He knew exactly who Michael was. His eyes widened a little at the surprise of seeing him with Frank, but he shook his hand anyway.
Michael could only see sympathy in his eyes. He felt a little bit weird seeing that the man in front of him seemed to know everything about him but he, on the other hand, had no idea who 'Will' was.

"I'm sorry but Julia doesn't really want to talk yet." He was standing in front of the door, blocking the entrance.

Frank was about to lose his temper and yell at that annoying lawyer who would do anything to make sure Julia didn't change her mind when it came to leaving him. He was probably glad she had finally gotten rid of him, but he couldn't let go without a fight. Tom sensed it and interrupted.

"We just want to know where she stands, she hasn't talked to anyone of us since Boston and we are a little bit worried. We all care about her."

Will looked at all of them. Tom was obviously honest and apparently had the best intentions. Frank seemed mad but he couldn't really blame it for it, Julia would probably have to deal with it one day or another. As for Michael it was more difficult to see what he was really after but he had that desperate look on him which ended convincing Will of letting them in.

The three of them sat on the couch, Tom in the middle, as Leo was looking for drinks in the fridge.

Will looked at them for a second before realizing they were waiting for Julia. "Julia is in the bathroom, I'll go look for her."

So he went in the bathroom and the room fell silent. Tom couldn't bare it.
"It's a nice apartment."
They all went with the beat.
"Yes, it hasn't changed much since I last was here, an eternity ago." Frank said.
"Mum told me she used to live here."
"Yes she lived here for a few years with Will."
But they were interrupted by shouting noises coming from the bathroom. Apparently Will and Julia had forgotten that the walls were really thin.

"Will, there is no way I'm getting out of this shower !"
"You have to ! I let you hide here for a week but it's time to face the music."
"I'm not going."
"Yes you are."
"Let go of me, I'm naked !"
"I have seen you naked a thousand times, Jules. It's not going to stop me. Take that towel and get out of the shower, I'll bring you some clothes !"

Michael was feeling really uncomfortable. It was already bad to be in the same room as all of these people who seemed to be judging him and with whom he couldn't exchange a single word, but on top of that he was still trying to figure out what Julia's relationship with Will was and his conclusions weren't really pleasing him. There was the fact that Frank seemed to really hate Will, the fact that he used to live with Julia before she married her husband, the fact that he hadn't had a second of hesitation before walking in the bathroom while she was in the shower, the fact that he called her Jules, a nickname he thought he was the only one to use... All of that made him jealous, even if he had no rights upon her. And the thought of Julia naked just behind this bathroom door added other feelings to all the ones he was already feeling, making his head an even bigger mess.

Finally she got out of the bathroom with a pair of shorts and one of Will's old T-shirts, her hair dripping water all over her back. She was really different from the confident woman with all her scarves and accessories that she was in the rehearsal space, but they had all already seen her like that. They were all part of her close circle. The one circle to whom she owed an explanation.

She went to plant a kiss on Leo's head and talked to him calmly.
"Maybe you could go for a walk with Will."
"Sure." He wasn't a boy of big words.

Will grabbed his coat while moving his lips to say : 'You're gonna be ok ?'
She nodded. She had no other choice.
He came really close to her and leaned to reach her ear : "I don't even need to hear him sing." He made a small move to leave but came back to her ear : "You little minx." They had always had their way of talking, and it was coming back bit by bit. He had missed it.
He then walked out with a knowing smile on his face, followed by Leo.
She smiled too. She had his blessing.

Michael hadn't heard what he had just said into her ear. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so jealous. Seeing them so close had just hit something in him. It was one of the strangest thing since he had never been jealous. With his wife he just didn't care, but there was something about Julia...

Once the door closed Julia sat down in the chair facing the couch. She had no idea what to say. Especially to the three of them. She couldn't even lay eyes on Michael. She knew too many feelings would immediately follow and it was neither the place or time. She looked at Tom with a misery look on her face. He immediately understood.

"Michael and I are going to let you talk. You probably need privacy. We will be outside."

They both walked out and closed the door behind them. Then they sat on the floor next to the elevator doors.

"You think she is going to be okay ?" Michael asked.
"I think so, Will is a really good friend of hers."
Michael's face probably did something weird to the mention of the name because Tom laughed.
"What's so funny ?"
"Jealous much ?"
"No I'm not."
Tom stared at him with a mocking eye.
"And what if I am ?"
"Don't you see that he is gay ?
"He's gay ?"
"Of course he is ! You heteros really don't pay attention to details..."

The elevator's doors opened, letting out a rather happy man. The man in question stopped at the view of the two men sitting next to his door.

"Holy Peter, Paul and Mary ! The great Tom Levitt is at my door !"

Tom's eyes widened. He wasn't used to such enthusiastic greetings. Now it was Michael's turn to laugh.

"I'm Jack McFarland, writer, composer, singer, dancer, actor and comedian." Saying that he bowed.
"Waow, I'm impressed." Tom rose and Michael did the same, trying not to laugh too hard. They went to shook his hand but he both kissed them on both cheeks.

"Dont talk to me like that ! You know I have thought about Leo !"

Apparently the bathroom walls weren't the only thin walls in the building.
Jack looked behind him, annoyed.
"Oh, Julia has always been such a drama queen. Just like Will..."
"You know Julia ?" Tom enquired.
"Of course. I'm Will's best friend, which meant having to live with Julia around all the time a long time ago. She has only been back for a week and it's like someone had glued them together all over again. Will's crazy wife is back." His eyes went up as he was saying that. "And she doesn't want to hear my new play. But I'm sure you will, come inside please." He was showing them the door facing Will's.

"Can you please stop bringing up Michael ?"

"Yeah Tom, why don't we go in and listen to Jack's play. I'm sure it will be very entertaining."
"I'm sure it will."

And they both followed Jack into his flat, not really interested by what they were going to see but way more interested in getting out of reach of the fight which was actually going on next door.
