Henry's PoV:

As William and I entered our classroom, the first thing I saw was an angry Jelena walking over to us.

"You said you'd come over yesterday!", she promptly started yelling at me. "W-what?", I asked, then I remembered.

She was right, yesterday as Jelena had called me, I told her to visit her some time later. But lucky me, I had fallen asleep.
Why didn't William woke me up? That was a bit strange, didn't he also know that I wanted to visit Jelena later that day? I didn't want to know how exhausted and panicked she must have sit there... alone.. No, she wasn't alone, she had her new boyfriend. Or was he gone that day?

"And, what is it? Don't you want to apologize?!"
I startled out of my thoughts and replied: "S-sorry, I fell asleep and then totally forgot about you...!"

"Oh, okay! I got that!", Jelena kept shouting. Because of her loud voice the other people in our class started watching us.

"Calm down, please... Can't we talk about it at another place...?"
"No, I won't calm down, Henry! I was sitting there and waited, I-" Suddenly William sighed and interrupted my ex: "Shut your goofy ass up and let Henry and me go, okay? Thank you."

With that he passed her and I followed, until we had to sit doen at our places, which weren't right next to each other. Luckily, William still sat behind me.

Tommy*, a boy who was placed one row before me, turned around and said: "By the way, you know that you guys are fucking gay, right?" His friends giggled scornfully and I looked at him questioning.

"You and William. Everyone thinks you both are... you know, gay."
Huh? Didn't they already know? I thought, Jelena had already told my class about the thing between Will and me.

"Uhm, well...", what the hell should I anwer on this? I knew how homophobic they were. Well, I didn't really know it but by the look of them and the way they acted they definetely were.

"W-we're not, ha... We're just good friends, yeah, not a couple or anything like that", I answered and laughed, trying not to seem nervous.

What the fuck was I talking about?! Of course William and I were a couple! Was I just scared because of that goddamn dream I had? It was just like William had told me, it would be non of their buisiness if Will and I were in a relationship or not.

"Oh, god. It would be fucking disgusting to have two fags in the class. But okay, everything's good."

Tommy and his friends laughed. I just hoped that William hadn't heard anything of what I just said.

William's PoV:

I heard everything.
Like I was freezed I just sat there, staring at Henry. We weren't a couple? Seriously? Wow, that hurted.

That really hurted.
Why was he saying that? Why was he denying that we were a couple? A gay couple?

I mean, was it a bad thing for him? Was he scared of getting mobbed? I knew he was scared of his dream to come true, but was that a reason to delay that we were together?

The rest of the lesson and also of the following ones I thought things like this. Why was he doing this? I didn't know.

As the teacher said us goodbye I got up and walked away. "William, wait!", I heard Henry behind me. I stopped and turned around.

"Oh, sorry", I excused. "No problem! Come on, you know what we gotta do now, right?", Henry smiled.
"Huh? Oh, the meet up, right!"

Henry nodded. "Mhm. Let's go then!", he said. But he didn't take my hand as usual. These fucking immature assholes... I blamed them for this, yeah. Because it was their fault that Henry said these things and didn't act like we were a couple, just as we were!

I sighed in my head. Now I had to think about other things. Also I had to act like I didn't noticed anything of what Henry said. For now.

So I was the one who grabbed Henry's hand and crossed our fingers. I saw his face as I did this. Cramped and tense. How I hated this.

"Okay then... Where do we need to go?"

"Oh, hey there! Nice to see ya!", Scott shouted and waved Henry and me. We waved back and walked over to him.

He grabbed Henry's hand and shook it. "Scott Cawthon, nice to meet ya, Mr..."
"Mr. Emily", Henry fulfilled Scott's sentence. Scott pulled away and now took my hand.

"We already had a call, also nice to see you, Mr. Afton", Scott smiled. It was a crooked and silly smile, but it was frankly.

"Want to see it from the inside?", he asked and pointed on the old building behind him. Henry and I nodded. "Hell yeah, let's go", I said and Henry chuckled.

I took his hand as Scott had opened the front door and we walked into a dark room. Henry hesitated but then grabbed my hand too. At least still something.

"So, first we have to go to the control room to rurn on the lights, follow me you two", Scott explained and walked into the darkness. Then a flashlight lightened up.

We three walked to the 'control room' and Scott flipped a lever in an electrical box. Suddenly everything was full of light.

Henry took a look out and mumbled: "Ugh, dirty." "The place was abandoned for many years, so what were ya expecting?", Scott returned and laughed.

We left the room and started a little tour around the building, Scott as our guide. He was good. He explained things and said stuff about the things the place was used to be back then.

He, the ex owner of the building, had a little electric market in it. But he also told us that it was once a strip club also.

"Great, a kids restaurant with a strip club as grandfather", I joked. Henry giggled. I wanted more of this...

After around two hours our visit was finished. "And? What do you say?", Scott asked and rubbed his hands. I looked at Henry and he looked at me. "Shall we?", he asked. "You know what my answer is", I replied and grinned. We both turned back to Scott.

"How much was it again?" Scott smiled his smile again. "16400, good?" "Deal", I said and took his hand to press it.

"Good, then it yours now. Here, the keys." Scott threw a key bound to me and I catched it. I laughed and shouted: "YES!"

Happy I kissed Henry, but of course he didn't wanted the kiss in front of Scott, it was easy to feel. So I pulled away again. Was he really that upset just because of these homophobic bastards? Tch.

Maybe I'd have to talk with him sooner or later if this is gonna stay for longer. But I think I was just too much... overthinking and -reacting. It was just that one day. It would be all better again tomorrow.
