Forced to move (glad I did) Ziggy Katz X Will Byers

Chapter 14 - Ziggy

Thanksgiving weekend was in the rear view mirror.  It was Monday morning and Will was picking up Ziggy for college. 

"You should've been with us Will.  This trip was one of the best we had.  They had a new Christmas play that was awesome with a funny story and decent musical numbers.  The shopping was good too."  Ziggy grabbed Will's hand as he was excited.  "How was your weekend?"

"Not bad at all.  Thanksgiving day was awkward, especially when Mike and a friend of my parents named Murray was at our house.  The food was really good."  Will was trying to figure out how to say the next part.  "You know Mike Wheeler used to be my friend, right.  Well we spent a couple days together this weekend and actually talked.  Anyway we are best friends again.  We aired all of our grievances and forgave each other.  This means you might be seeing more of him.  If you don't like him I will keep your interactions with him to a minimum.  We are going to try spending 2 hours a week together at first.  I WILL NOT take away our time together, ok Ziggy."  Will hoped Ziggy wouldn't be to angry and would be happy for Will.

"That sounds good Will.  I will hold you to the second thing though.  Ziggy needs to be near his inspiration."  Ziggy stared right at Will with a toothy smile while Will turned away with a flushed face.

Will was in Ziggy's bedroom sitting on his bed while Ziggy held his seafoam green Stratocaster.  Ziggy was trying to figure out which chord progression to use on a new song he wrote.  Will would turn on the tape recorder for Ziggy and off when Ziggy ran through a certain progression to see what sounded better to him.  Will loved watching Ziggy in his element.  After sitting quietly for over an hour, Ziggy landed on what he wanted.  After he played the song on his guitar he was satisfied.  Ziggy moved on to Will who was on the bed.

Ziggy ran his hands on Will's face before pulling him in for a kiss.  Ziggy ran his tongue over Will's lips before they relented and let him in.  Their tongues danced with one another until they pulled back for air.  They kissed again until Ziggy pulled back and stared directly into Will's eyes.  Brown meets hazel.  The lust was there but they wanted to take it slow. 

"How was that?"  Will was flustered and completely serene at the same time.

"That was great.  Let's do it again!"  Ziggy moved in and Will closed the distance.  They kissed and kissed again.  After they pulled away Will sat directly beside Ziggy and they held each other in their arms.

"Mom said we are going to Chicago the second weekend of December.  We want you to come with us this time.  She is going to ask your Mom herself for you to go with."  Will hummed his approval and nodded his head.  Ziggy was happy that they would get to spend some time together in Chicago.

It was a couple days before Ziggy and Will were going to Chicago.  They were in Will's room on his computer talking to Will's friend from Portland named Doug but was known as Deuce.  Deuce was a musician and was plugged into the local music scene in Portland.  Will met Deuce from his other friend Kelly known as Kiki.  Everyone had some kind of nickname, but Zebra was all nickname, nobody knew his name.

Ziggy was on the computer questioning Deuce to death on the wave of 'Seattle Sound' style bands popping up in the Pacific Northwest.  Deuce was telling Ziggy that a couple people from the record labels were frequenting the clubs there looking at the talent.  Deuce even said his band was approached but was low-balled.  Deuce figures this coming spring they could score a contract but he wasn't holding his breath.
