a Beautiful Drummer; byler

. creep .

After class he got up with his kitty doodles in his sketchbook and excitedly walked over to teddy tapping him on the shoulder.

Teddy let out a large sigh, "yes William?" Teddy asked, "hi Ted's! So are we going to see each other at lunch?" Will asked quickly, "you didn't make it very clear when we were going to hangout last time we talked??"

"I don't like eating in the lunchrooms it's to loud." Teddy stated, "oh where do you eat I'll eat with you? I want to get to know you!" Will was excited to have someone to talk to that isn't a stupid romantic interests like all the other guys in his life.

"Art room.." teddy responded to his question, "okay cool I'll see you in there for lunch, the heat in the hallway surrounded them like the fog in the morning cold air.

Both of the boys walked away with a smile at least on wills face..,when will got to his locker he opened it up and pulled out the water bottle he had, it was filled with pink lemonade and some edible glitter that el had filled it with.

He then headed to his excess classes after hours of waiting and waiting so he can see the kitties again but it was chemistry, and now he was wondering if mike would show up.

When he walked through those class doors there was no mike just an empty seat, will sighed his stupid boyfriend has to get a cold seriously...

He walked over to his seat but then he heard a small piece of paper hit the back of his head, when he turned around it was Jason.

He picked up the paper and unfolded it, "you get a ten second headstart fruit bowl your boyfriend's not here to save you now".

Will let out a sigh and sat through the class in nervousness his stomach was aching and twisting and he was just begging it wasn't bad. When the bell rang he ran straight out of the class like a lighting blot running down the halls.

He knew from experience to not hide in bathroom stalls so he ran to the hellfire room and shut the door leaning up against it letting out a big sigh of relief as he slid down the door and sat on the floor.

He suddenly smelt smoke and laughter, when he looked over he saw Gareth reading out of a comic book with a cigarette in his hand.

"H-hi" will said nervously he's barely ever made contact with Gareth, "sup" Gareth nodded "your uhm Mike's boy toy right?" Gareth asked and will looked at him offensively.

"Is..is that what he calls me?" Will asked his mind was all over the place he had kittens to take care of, a new friend to meet up with, his boyfriend's sick, and he just got done being threatened by Jason.

"Oh no! I call you that, Mike's boy toy" he said with a sarcastic voice" will had already lost his cool but he just nodded "have mercy I was scared for a moment!".

Gareth chuckled and put out the cigarette onto the dusty table, they hadn't played much DND since Eddie died so in result a really dusty table.

Will set down his water bottle on the table and took a seat, "I hope you don't mind if I sit in here for a while I got threatened.." will explained, "let me guess... Jason?".

Will nodded "how'd you know that??" Will asked I'm a surprised tone, "you and mike deal with the same problems y'know..he doesn't mean to lash out?"

Will sighed and understood where this was going, "I already forgave him..I understand!" Will cleared up and Gareth nodded back to him.

Right outside of the door you could hear some snarky laughs..some football player kind of laughs, the ones that make you turn your head I'm annoyance because it's all so fake.

Will ducked down into his seat in nervousness as he saw blonde hair pass up the window, he tried to lean back to get a better look but instead he headed straight for the floor his seat went all the way back and his back hit the floor.

Gareth got up frantically "bro you good?" Will took this in offense due to his past experiences "I'm fine! Jeez I can do things on my own!!" He impulsively remarked. The dim lights hit wills face and you could almost perfectly see his snarky expression.

As he got up his legs began to shake and the lights got dimmer "crap, crap, crap" he freaked out as his thoughts brought him to Troy and Lonnie and he got this overwhelming sunken feeling like broken glass spewing right into your lungs.

Panic attacks were normal for will which is something he wishes he didn't have to be used to, Gareth grabbed will by the face rushingly and told him to breathe "breathe!, C'mon breathe!" He yelled.

When will caught his breathe and he needed to grab onto anything he grabbed gareths arm and hugged it for as long as 20 seconds, "I'm..I'm sorry!!". He frantically apologized for his behavior.

(( I probably wrote this wrong, I've never felt with a panic attack I have anxiety attacks, so I'm sorry about my mistakes!!))

"Sit there for a while, I'll get your water bottle!" Gareth got up and grabbed wills water bottle handing it to him sweetly, "it's got sparkles in it?" Gareth asked as will took a few sips.of the lemonade out of it, "mhm..you want some?" Will asked handing the bottle over to him.

Gareth grabbed it and sipped out of it, "mm pink lemonade.." Gareth looked over and wiped the tears off wills face, ((don't get any ideas!! Strictly platonic guys!!)).

"I think they're gone bro- you should probably go!" Gareth said as he got up to go grab a new cig from his pack, "right..I'll go!" Will said as he got up to leave the room, he opened the door and headed straight out.

After a good two classes it was lunch time, he headed straight for the art room after grabbing his thermos when he walked into the art room he instantly saw teddy he had a sad gaze as he organized his sandwiches Into a arranged manner and took out his miniature spoon with a cup of yogurt.

"Hey!!" Will exclaimed and walked over to set his thermos on the table, and that's when teddy's gaze softened. That's when teddy realized he just might have a friend.

Will moved his table closer to teddy's so they could chat but teddy stopped the foot of the table half way through, "not to close.." teddy told will.

"Oh sorry!" Will apologized before sitting down and looking over to teddy with a smile, though teddy had very monotone facail expressions you could still see a smirk on his face.

"I've missed you." Teddy said as happily as possible with his lack of expression, "that's surprising-" will said I'm a slightly sarcastic tone that flew right over teddy's head.

"So do you like video games?" Will asked him his head empty of thought, he was at peace with a person who didn't have too much to say or express, it wasn't so overwhelming.

"No? Video games are to violent." Teddy told will and will nodded in agreement, he was always excited to go over to people's houses and play video games but I'm sure teddy has something much greater to offer.

((I'm speaking off experience and research as an autistic person, I was RLLY excited to add a new character anyways y'all r gonna get a lot of Mike's dad next chapter!!))
