Me and William spent the afternoon just talking. He did steal my cigarettes and throw them in the toilet, though. "I don't want you making your lungs turn black." He had said. I guess it's reasonable. He has been rather nice lately; cleaning my house and everything. William has been making me some really nice dinners too! I think he took the frozen food in the freezer as a personal insult. He's always despised frozen food.

"Henry?" William asks, coming out of the bathroom. "What is it?" I say, turning around on the couch. He furrows his brow. "Where am I to sleep?" Oh shit. I hadn't thought about that. "Uhhh. You can choose between the floor, the leather couch, or sleeping with me." William's face brightens with the color red at the last option. Oh. I feel my own face heat up as I think about the two different meanings of that. "Obviously you don't have to share a bed with me! I'm just offering.." I mumble. He shakes his head and sighs.

"I'll take up on your offer. I really don't feel like sleeping on hardwood floors or getting stuck to a leather couch." I blush and turn back around. "Alright!" I squeak, embarrassed. I hear William walk back into the bathroom. Strange. He'd already been in there for thirty minutes or so. I get up, curious. What could he be doing in there?

I walk to the bathroom door and press my ear to it. Is he pissing? No... he's talking. Why is he talking to himself? Then I hear another voice. It's slightly distorted and sounds like and echo but I can make out what it's saying.

"You're falling for him again, William."

"I'm not!"

"You are! You just said you'd share a bed with him. I can see in your mind. Don't forget that."

"I wasn't thinking anything!"

"Ohhhh yes you were. You have a fairly dirty mind."

"S-shut up, Weasel!"

"Why don't you admit you like him, Eggplant?"

"Bring it, Bugs Bunny!"

"You brought your fists to a knife fight? Idiot..."

"Who said I didn't have a knife, creepy smiley bun bun?"

"I'm going to fucking kill you, William Vincent Afton."

It must be the glitch. He said it wasn't gone. I shiver, getting the chills. That thing is so evil sounding. I don't like it.

William suddenly opens the bathroom door and I fall forward into his chest. He catches me, and rather then pushing me upright again, he hugs me to him. "Eavesdropping, Henry?" I bite my lip. "It's fine I guess." He continues. I look up at him. "Sorry. I feel kinda like a stalker now heh." He smiles a sinister smile. "Stalkers don't bother me." I'm not surprised. This man has seen a lot.

He's still hugging me. I think I might kiss him before he lets me go. I want him to know I regret not telling him I love him. I wish we would've stayed together from the start. If we had, he never would have lost his family and life wouldn't be so difficult. I think I might kiss him before he lets me go.

He stares down at me, most likely trying to piece together my thoughts by staring into my soul. I stare back, waiting for the perfect moment to kiss him. Suddenly he smirks. Why would he be smirking? "Will-" I get cut off. Not by him talking. Not a finger to my lips. Not a gag. Not a knife through my throat.

William is kissing me, and god... it feels so good. Just like how it felt that one time in college. So god damn good.
