Sorry guys, I was at a family reunion all day yesterday, and I wasn't even allowed to bring my laptop because I had to "Spend time with my family" so yeah, sorry for the lack of chapter. How can I make it up to you? Maybe with a dorky Will trying to find a place to stay for $11.43?

"Please, 'mam, I really need a place to stay the night." Will pleaded. He's tried everything! He just got back from I hop shooing him out because "You can't stay the night, especially if you don't buy any food!"… Now he stood in front of a hotel manager, completely helpless and exhausted.
"Look, kid. I'd love to help you out, but the only room we have left is the kings' sweet, and that's one hundred and fifty dollars. You've only got eleven bucks." She said in a SOL way.
"And forty-three cents!" He added hopefully. He was begging with all his might, but it just wouldn't do. The hotel manager, whose nametag read 'Milly', stepped back and looked Will up and down.
She had a coat and purse in her hands, it was obvious she had somewhere to be, but she stopped and turned around very slowly and eerily. "Say, you're pretty good looking. I'll tell you what, after I go home and change, I'm going to an auction to auction off some bachelors and bachelorettes. If I can sell you for over $150, I'll give you the room. I'll even get you the tux for it. What'dya say?"
"Uhhh…" He was stunned. "I, uh, don't know if Nico would like that very much. And going on a date with someone I've never met, just seems weird..." He said avoiding looking at the manager.
"Oh, is Nico you girlfriend how sweet!" It was a bit obvious that this lady watched too many chick-flicks.
"No, actually… Nico's my, Uhm, friend-boy?" He sounded more like he was trying to ask her what he was… Milly looked odd for a second, but then her smile returned.
"Ooh! That's even better!" She was now smiling like a maniac. "The gay guys are always complaining because we don't have guys to be auctioning to other guys! Please say you'll do this, I'll even give you free snacks!" Will defiantly couldn't pass up free snacks.
"Do I have to wear a dress?" He asked sarcastically raising an eyebrow.
"Only if you want to, now let's get going! The auction starts in fifty-two minutes and you look like a wreck!" She said, shoving him out the door.
Will could understand the tuxedo, flowers and perfume. But she was doing his hair now! Milly stood behind Will, picking all of the knots out of his hair. "Ow… Ow! OW! Would you stop that?" he asked, clearly agitated.
"Just a couple more…" She muttered at the sensitive headed boy. "And… Done!" She exclaimed, shoving Will towards a mirror. "What'dya think?" She asked, although she clearly didn't care what Will thought.
"Wow… I look… Fancy." He said, almost not believing it was him in the mirror. He wore a purple trimmed tux, with a red tie and a white carnation in his pocket. His hair was combed and jelled back. His first thought? Nico needs to see this. He turned on his phone and, because he could, took a mirror selfie.
Hey DeathBreath! Guess who's being a bachelor tonight so he can hopefully not spend the night outside in the cold? THIS GUY!
Will attached the photo and sent the message; Nico was going to kill him. About a second later, his phone buzzed.
I'M GOING TO KILL YOU… Uh… INSULTING NICKNAME!
You're so cute when you're angry. Gotta go! TTYL! Will replied. He was literally flirting with death.
Gods there are a lot of people here, and I'm on a stage, I'll bet they're all silently judging me… Will was snapped out of his thoughts when the auction started; he was going to be the last item, or whatever. I'll just ignore everything until it's my turn. He was sure he was red faced and looked nervous, but, oh well!
"And last but not least: For those men still out there we have this cutie, Will Solace!" She pulled him up closer to the front of the stage. He was trying not to blush as everyone was staring at him, some of the women got up and stomped off, and some of the men perked up a little. "The bidding will start at $100!" She said, and the bidding began. It took a while, but finally, it was over. "$550 going once… going twice… Sold to the handsome man who I'm wishing wasn't gay!" She said with a playful wink.
Will's future date walked up to the stage. He had light brown hair, dark blue eyes and was slightly taller than Will, maybe, 6'4"? In other words: He was hot. "Hey, I'm Chris, and I'm assuming you're Will?" He said, holding out his arm, to escort Will out of the area.
Oh dang! Will's going out with another boy! Whoops! How will that turn out? Stay tuned to find out! Also, check out the stars tonight! It's the peak of the geminids, I've already seen, like, five shooting stars. Whenever there's a meteor shower I'm always siting outside crossing wishes off my list, like: All my wishes gonna come true while you guys are in there not freezing to death. BAM! I'm getting a pony tomorrow!
