William tried to pay attention to the paperwork in front of him, but he couldn't. He was too distracted. He'd been distracted for months. But why couldn't he focus? Why couldn't he stop thinking about it? It happened months ago! It didn't matter anymore!

"Will, you can't ignore me forever," Henry's familiar voice rang throughout his office.

William slumped in his hair, his head dangling from his neck as he breathed a heavy sigh.

"Will, come on."

"I don't want to talk about it, Henry. Just please leave me alone."

"But we need to talk about it!"

"No, we don't!"

"Yes, we do! I don't want this to ruin our friendship. I just lost Doc. I can't lose you, too."

"You bloody kissed me!" William exclaimed. "A-A-And I went along with it! Dammit, I even kissed you back! What in the world is wrong with me?!" He covered his face with his hands as he groaned, slumping further in his chair. "I don't even know why you want to stay friends with me. Heck, I wouldn't even be friends with myself."

Henry stayed silent for a minute. "I'm... I'm confused. Are you mad at me or not?"

William dragged his hands down his face. "I don't know..."

Henry chuckled as he rested a hand on his hip. "Well, did you at least enjoy the experience?"

William stared at him, dumbfounded. "Excuse me?"

He laughed. "Did you enjoy it?"

William's face turned tomato red. "Wh-Why do you care?"

"Because I'm curious!" he exclaimed, laughter filling his voice. "Come on, Will! You know me better than anyone. You seriously didn't think that I would ask you this?"

"Oh, shut up."

"Did you enjoy it?" Henry repeated with a smirk.

"I said, shut up!"

He laughed. "Would you like another one?"

William spun around in his swivel chair so his back was facing Henry. "Cut it out. We're at work. Now is not the time for your bisexual shenanigans."

Henry stayed silent for so long that William thought he left. But apparently, he didn't because he draped himself over William's shoulders, mumbling, "I wasn't trying to upset you. I'm sorry. I was just trying to mess with you."

William begrudgingly sighed, still annoyed. "It's fine."

Suddenly, Henry stood up and turned William around, a teasing smirk resting on his face. "Just so you know, I know that you enjoyed it. I just wanted to see if you would admit it."
