Henry's POV:

William and I sat together at the table in the restaurant, with only couples around us. Did they think William and I were one, too? Hopefully not.

I looked at Will, who was sitting across from me, engrossed in the menu. "Have you chosen anything yet?" I asked him. He looked up and shook his head. "Have you never been here before?" Again just a shake of the head on his part. I smiled crookedly. "Are you talking to me too?" "Hm? Oh sorry... I've never had anyone to take out to dinner before, so why should I come here alone?" he offered. "Hmm," I said, "but why me? I mean, isn't there a woman who did it to you?"

William blushed a little. "No, not a... woman," he mumbled. I looked at his face. He had gray-blue eyes that seemed to dart nervously and a straight, pointed nose, his lips were thin and his cheeks were a little sunken. He tugged at his shirt tensely. "Everything okay?" I asked. "Yes, I'm... Just glad to be here with you," he replied, smiling warmly. I smiled back at him, feeling the heat rise in my face.

"Hello", the waitress greeted us at this moment, "What would you like?" William and I each ordered our food and the waitress disappeared again. It wasn't long before she and one of her colleagues reappeared, full plates balanced on their hands. They put the plates down and the waitress leaned down to us and said: "You know, we don't often have gay couples here. Happy to see you."

William blushed and also did I. "W-we're not together", I explained quickly. "Ohhh, I'm so sorry! I didn't meant to- Oh my god, sorry", she apologized nervous laughing. "No problem, Miss", I reassured her. She nodded and walked away fast.
I looked over to William who tried to hide is red face.

I chuckled.
"Well then. Enjoy your meal."

William's POV:

As we ate, I kept thinking about these few phrases the waitress said.
Did we really looked that much like a couple? Well, I wouldn't have minded if we actually did. I kept glancing at Henry and thinking about it. What it would be like to be with him. But he had a girlfriend he lived with and loved. I should be okay with that. But that's exactly what I didn't do. I wanted him but for him I was just a good friend, nothing more.

"Hey, Will, why are you so absent at the moment? Are you really alright?" Henry snapped me out of my thoughts for the second time that day. I nodded. "Are you sure?" he asked, adjusting his glasses. "Yeah... It's just a bit much recently. Private stuff, you know," I replied. Henry nodded understandingly. "I see."

I cleared my throat and put the cutlery aside. "I'm just going to the bathroom." With these words I got up and left. Once in the restrooms, I stood in front of the sink and turned on the faucet, put my hands under it and slapped a load of water on my face.

"Come on you idiot, pull yourself together," I scolded myself. I couldn't stare and admire Henry all the time. What should he think of me? I dried my face and threw the paper towels into the overflowing trash can. Before I left the room, I took one last look at myself in the mirror and straightened my hair if I was already here.

Henry's POV:

I politely held the door open for William to go out into the cool night. When he passed me, I followed him.
"Shall we go to my place? O-or to you, we still have time. Jelena is coming in...", I took look t my watch, "in three hours."
'Well, that's what she said', I added in my mind.
"Yeah, I would love to. Want to come to mine?", Will asked. I nodded.

"Then come on, just follow me", he purred mysteriously. I laughed. "You sound like a murderer. 'Follow me, right into your doom."
"Maybe I am one, who knows?"
I chuckled. "Shut up, you creep" He laughed. "Okay, okay, officer."

"But still tho, you need to follow me."
"I know, let's go then." William started walking and I came after him. While we were walking along the street, the street lights casted their lights on us and our hands were suspiciously often touching, but I didn't think anything by that.

It didn't take us long until we were standing in front of the unnoticeable apartment, wich William unlocked so we could get in. 'Looks very sparse and thrifty here', I thought by myself. "I know, It looks really lonely but no one ever sees it, except for me." He looked at me, smiling.

"And you."

I smiled back and took off my jacket. "Just put it there", William said, pointing to a clothes rack in the corner. I hung my jacket on it and put my shoes under it too. Then I started walking around.

"Hen, where the fuck are you?", William shouted. "I'm in... Oh, I'm in your bedroom", I replied. I heard footsteps coming near, then William stood next to me. "I never thought I could loose somebody here", he joked. I shrugged my shoulders. "Well, you didn't really loose me. I just magically disappeared." I giggled, while William looked at my with an are-you-serious face. "Ha ha, very funny tho."

"Anways... Let's see how soft your bed is", I grinned mischievous, took a run up and jumped onto the bed, before William could stop it. "Don't you dare break it!", he threatened but holding back a smile. He came over to me and dropped next to me.

"I didn't know you were that... childish." I sat up. "It's just sometimes... Jelena always rebukes me when I'm like that." I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "Ha, take that." Shortly after I got one of the pillows smashed in my face and fell onto the mattress again. William let out a half laughing battle cry as he lunged on me. "Now I've got you!"

I started blushing as I realised that his face was very close to mine so I could feel his warm breath on my skin. Slowy I looked into Williams eyes. "What are you gonna do now, huh? Going to kiss me? Kissing your best friend?", I fooled around. Strangely enough, I didn't think the idea was that bad.

"I would never", William grinned. He hesitated before moving away from me again. He rubbed his hands and asked then, "So, do you want to watch something? A movie or else?"

I nodded. "With pleasure."
