22 - Couch Potato

Y/N POV

"Y/n?" "Yes?" "I need you to leave the living room" Will told me. "What? Why?" I asked him. "I'm setting up a surprise!" he explained. "Oh, okay. I need to go make a phone call anyway" I said. "To who?" Will asked. "Not that important. I just need privacy when I do it" I told him. He nodded and watched me as I left to the bedroom.

I dialed a number and pressed it to my ear. "Your call cannot reach this-" I hung up. "Damn it" I whispered to myself. Did Mari change his number? I wouldn't be surprised. He was known for always accidentally destroying his phone so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a new phone and a new number.

My phone started to buzz I stared down to see it was Ash. "Oh, hey Ash" I said. "Y/n! I'm with Joe and we just got off the phone with Mark..." he started.

I flopped down onto the bed and listened intently. "We don't think we should have Charles on the team anymore" Ash told me. I audibly gasped. I froze then smiled, "About time!" I exclaimed. "About time for what?" Will questioned, walking into the bedroom. I glared at him and pointed to the door. He frowned and walked out of the bedroom.

I leaned over the bed to make sure he wasn't eavesdropping. "I know. We were murmuring about it for a while and last night kind of sealed the deal for us" Ash explained. "Well, I'm glad my punch continued to something not negative" I said, getting off the bed and pacing the floor.

"What? Is Wilbur hating himself because of that?" Ash questioned. "Augh! Pretend I didn't say anything!" I shouted. "Say what?" Ash joked. I rolled my eyes, "Anyways. Have you told Will?" I asked him.

"That's the thing...we want you to tell him" Ash explained. "What? Why?" I questioned. "He's stubborn. He was the one who came up with the idea for Charles to be our leader in the first place. He'd hate himself even more if he had to admit he was wrong. He hangs onto your every word. If he heard you talk about Charles being bad I-" "He won't listen" I cut him off.

"Why do you think that?" Ash asked Y/n. I thought back on this morning when I tried to tend to his wounds. "Just a hunch" I replied. "Y/n please. I promise he'll hear you out. He always does" Ash promised.

"Okay. I'll tell him after he shows me his surprise" I said, leaning on the wall. "Surprise?" I heard Joe question. I must be on speaker phone.

"Yeah, I'm going to go now because I'm actually curious now about what it is" I admitted. "Okay. If he hits you again you know who to call" Ash said. "Too soon" I hummed. Ash laughed, "Okay, see ya." "Bye." I hung up and walked into the living room.

I smiled, "What's this?" I asked Will. He smiled at me, "A little apology" he replied. I stared at the tv screen. A wide smile spread across my face.

"You told me when we went out for lunch that the food looked like Ghibli Studio food so I assumed you like Ghibli movies" he explained his reasoning behind putting on 'Kiki's Delivery Service.' I sat down on the couch and grabbed his wrist, dragging him down next to me. Ash was right. Wilbur does hang onto every word I say.

"I got some refreshments as well" Will said, pointing at the coffee table in front of us. "Ooh! Thank you!" I thanked him, pulling a blanket over both of us. Ash was right.

I sunk down into the couch and rested my head on Will's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me and put his head on mine. "You know you don't have to apologize" I told him. "It's not really about hurting you last night...it's about my freak out this morning" he told me.

"It wasn't really a freak out. You were showing me your raw emotions. I kind of wish you'd show me raw emotion more often" I explained.

He stared at me and I turned to stare back at him. "I show you raw emotion every day" he told me, kissing my forehead. I rubbed the pink tint off my face. "Right. Um, can I tell you something?" I asked him.

Wilbur sighed and frowned at me. "You sound like you're about to say something serious. Am I right?" I nodded, confirming his suspicion.

"Just tell me tomorrow. Tonight, is movie night!" he said, smiling. I smiled back and nodded again. I understood. He was still recovering from last night which I could relate to at the moment. I just sank back into Wilbur's warm side and settled in for the movie.
