      I said, "I would rather
die than feel this pain."
You said, "I know, I feel very
much the same, but I'm afraid
that I don't know, knowing
is not my thing. But I would
like to dance with you
awkwardly in haze
to this little tune."

                                                                                   ┘

Tears leaked from his eyes and rolled down onto my cheeks, I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him deeper into the kiss. He groaned as I bit his lip roughly, "God Y/n, I know I shouldn't say this and I understand the consequences, but I fucking love you so much."

I gasped and tried stopping him from saying it, but to my surprise nothing happened. I smiled and shook my head yes, and kissed him again. He pulled away and then picked me up into his arms and began carrying me bridal style back to the house.

When we finally made it to the front door of my house I panicked because I'd forgot about one of the most important things. I sighed loudly and William stopped and looked down at me curiously, "What's wrong love?" He said with a concerned tone and expression.

I smiled up at him, "I'm okay.. it's just well... Johaan is basically living here with me.. and I'm worried of how he may react to-" I stopped talking as I saw a devious grin appear on Williams face. "No William, do not do anything stupid." He only smiled widely and opened the door.

I looked up into the kitchen and was immediately met with glaring eyes. I groaned under my breath, and wiggled my way out of Williams arms. I got in front of William and looked up to Johaan, "So Johaan... I'd like you to meet William. William, this is Johaan." I said nervously.

William grinned at Johaan, and Johaan scoffed at him. William just chuckled lightly to himself, "It's nice to meet you Johaan, Y/n has told me so much about you. I must say I'm thankful for you for keeping so close to her for all of these years." Johaans eyes widened a little at the compliment and he looked away for a moment then back to William. "Yeah of course, it's only what I could do..."

He pauses for a moment then stands up from previously sitting at the bar and makes his way standing in front of William. He extends a hand out, and William takes his with a sly smirk on his face. "After all, she means 'SO' much to me, it's the least I could do." Johaan said with a shit eating grin spread across his face.

Williams grasps tightens around his extended hand, and Johaan does the same. I groaned loudly causing the both of them to look back down at me. I grabbed Williams hand and pulled him away from Johaan, "I'm glad y'all met, now if you excuse me William needs to take care of my ankle." I said with a annoyed tone.

Johaan quickly went over to me and stared down at my ankle, "Y/n, are you okay? What happened?" . I smiled up at him, and put my hand on his shoulder patting him, "I'm alright, I actually had a tree fall down on my ankle and well William saved me." Johaan let's out a breath of relief then nods to William in a 'thanks', and William nods back with a smug smirk.
