Fever Dream /Schlattbur\

1: Can't Kiss the Homies Goodnight?

(Fool, Cavetown)

"Will! Come on, they won't find out, I promise." Will shakes his head at Schlatt and shivers, the cold midnight air slowly seeping into the house through the open window.

"I said no Schlatt, remember what happened last time? And in or out, it's getting fucking cold in here."

"Hey! I told you to tell me if they did that again, your parents are assholes." Schlatt sighs and holds a hand through the window for Wilbur to grab.

"First of all they aren't my real parents." Will points and the man outside. "And where would we even go?"

"I was thinking about going on a walk, or there is this new park about 2 blocks away too."

"I don't know Schlatt...." Wilbur really wants to, he does, but his parents...... He glances over to the clock on the nightstand.

3:55 A.M.

"Just have fun for once Will." Schlatt steps through the window and into the house, and walks to where Will is.

He puts his hand on Wilbur's shoulder, Will leaning to where the hand was placed. Will can't help it, his parents never showed him affection or any signs that they loved him. The only time they talked to him nowadays was to yell at him over something he did wrong, and hugging someone was one thing he got yelled at for a lot.

Will backed away from Schlatt and pushed his hand off his shoulder.

"Just leave me the fuck alone Johnathan."

Schlatt's eyes widened in shock and he nodded his head in understanding. It became silent then, Wilbur looking down at the carpet and Schlatt looking at Wilbur.

"You know your 18, right? They can't control you anymore. Hell, you can move in with me until we graduate. Unlikely that you'll move out by then though." Schlatt smiles and laughs at his own joke.

Wills face turns into a slight smile before going back to a frown. His mind filled with thoughts l. 'They will go and find you if you move away' or 'what if you do something wrong and he kicks you out?' His head was spiraling with thoughts and he backs up to the wall, his breathing starting to go faster.

"Will, hey, just breathe with me okay? In...... out....." Schlatt puts his hands on Wilbur's shoulders and looks him in the eyes. 

"B-but Schlatt I'll just do something wrong and y-you won't want me anymore. I-I can't do everything right Schlatt. You'll kick me out."

"Wilbur, look at me. Yes, people make mistakes sometimes, but that doesn't mean that you should get kicked out because of it. I would never kick you out Wilbur."

Wil can feel himself start to blush and looks away. He can feel Schlatt's eyes staring into him but he doesn't look back until he feels more tears coming down his cheeks. 

"Johnathan, I-I can't live here anymore." Wilbur looks away when he feels more tears fall down his cheeks, all of the built-up stress of the years coming down.

Schlatt puts his hand on Wilbur's face and wipes the tears off with his thumb. Will looks up at him and smiles. 

"Just come move in with me Will. I would never not want you over. Also, keep calling me Johnathan."  

"You got it Schlatt." Will smiles and looks down again. 

"What about Johnathan?"

"We will save that for special occasions." Will winks and moves to the window, opening it and feeling the cold breeze on his face before stepping onto the roof outside.
