Stuck Chapter 8

The hand that grasped his out of the blue actually surprised him but Theo did his best not to show. He didn't like it at all when people he hadn't given permission to touched him but somehow William emitted such harmless energy that he didn't mind one bit.

The boy was adorable, really.
The blushing cheeks he tried so hard to hide every time he got embarrassed and the puffy face after all that panicked crying was inviting him to squish it but he suppressed the desire.

He was only really truly thankful that for once that incompetent woman that called herself a 'mother' had been useful. Theo did not want to even think, for a second, what could have happened to their assistant had they not left the club when she told them she had a sudden plan and they had to come pick Daisy up.

Would it be too much if he asked the boy to just move in? It was. But he felt so protective over William more and more with each anxiety attack he witnessed.
There were of course times when the boy didn't do exactly as he wanted in the office but having seen one of his episodes at his very first day with them, he pushed down his frustration every time and edited whatever it was he wanted differently himself, without even telling Joe about it.

Entering their bedroom, he let his body slam against the bed, limbs spread all over it.

"Tired?" Joe asked, taking his shirt off.

"Mhm. It's like all of my energy's been sucked right out of me." Turning to the side, he tucked his arm under his head, looking at the juicy thing that was his husband.
"The boy is helpless, Joe. What are we ever gonna do with him?!"

Joe chuckled as he took a shirt, a pack of fresh underwear, and a pair of sweatpants out of their 'special' drawer.
"We have to put a bodyguard on his cute ass for sure if he continues being this defenceless." Bending, he pecked Theo's lips briefly. "I'll take these to his room."

Humming, he watched the other leave and got rid of his clothes — except for the underwear — before crawling under the blanket. He knew the reason for his extreme exhaustion. It was always the same after a bad episode or when a situation called for his passed down violent side of personality to show up. That reminded him, he needed to buy a new pocket knife first thing in the morning. His eyelids were heavy and they forced sleep on him before he could welcome Joe into his arms.

The next morning William came down the stairs with those clothes in hand as Joe was preparing breakfast and Theo was making sure everything was in Daisy's backpack while answering a business call from abroad.

"Good morning." The boy said, obviously feeling out of place.
Theo looked up at him momentarily, nodding his head in response, before going back to his conversation.
The other two started talking and he had to leave the kitchen to be able to focus on the phone call.

When he came back, they were eating. He stood there for a few seconds, grinning with pleasure as he watched William chew enthusiastically on the simple breakfast they were offering.

"How did it go?" Joe asked, blowing his undercover watch.

"You'll have to go to France for a few days." He announced, sitting by the other at the counter.

"Damn. Thanks for asking for my input before deciding!" Joe teased, squeezing his thigh playfully.

"You'll do as I command." He shrugged, winking at his man flirtatiously and forgetting entirely they weren't alone. That was how silent and motionless William was being!

When he remembered the boy's existence, he looked at him. "Did you sleep well?" He asked, taking the toast Joe handed him.

"Yes, thank you. I just... would like to ask for a plastic bag to put these clothes in please."
Ah. The poor boy was so uncomfortable.

"Why? Trying to steal our clothes, William? Then you shouldn't be announcing it openly like this." He took a bite from the toast through his the huge grin stretching his lips.

William chuckled, relaxing a bit. "These can't be your clothes, Mr. Walton. They're size small." The pretty face got covered by the mug and the two hands that held it afterward.

"Are you saying I'm fat?" He raised an eyebrow, knowing full well it wasn't what William was saying.

The poor thing chocked on his coffee. "Of course not! I don't think you have any fat in your body whatsoever. Everything is muscle on you!"

Pft! There went William blurting out something he was going to blush profusely over in a few seconds.

aaaaand there it was!

The big eyes came first when the young boy realized what he'd just said: The fact that he had observed him enough to know how bulked up he was. The red cheeks followed right after and the adorable face looked down to hide it instantly.

Laughing shortly, he finished his toast and got up. "You can take the clothes, William. If you're thinking of washing them before returning, don't. We have lots of them here."

The big blue eyes settled on him at that. "Why?!" There was a pause. "Oh, sorry! Forgive my curiosity..."

Smirking, Theo stared right into the ocean orbs. "We like to prepare for our guests so their stay with us will be a pleasant experience."

Why would he tell William that? Why would he give away such private info to the assistant that hadn't been working with them for that long in the first place? Just... why?! Theo couldn't tell. He only knew that teasing William, cornering him into absolute tomato level, was so much fun.

Clearing his throat, Joe stood up as well. "You can go change at home before coming to the office. And don't speed up while driving. It's okay if you get there a bit late today."

Saying a quick goodbye, William practically dashed out of the front door, leaving them both to burst out laughing the moment he was gone.

"It's such a shame we can't tease him further." Joe said, hugging Daisy who had slept through all that to his chest off the couch. "And it's even a bigger shame we can't take him to bed. I bet he's adorable during sex too. You'd have the joy of a lifetime fucking him."

"Please don't talk those words right into your daughter's ears, Joe!" Theo panicked, covering Daisy's ears as he glared at the other.

"She's asleep." Joe deadpanned.

"Her subconscious is not! And you know how good she is at acting! We can never know for sure!" He took the girl into his arms, leaving the house.
When they sat in the car, he said, "Also please don't put that image in my head. It's getting harder controlling myself and we really need to find some fun before you leave for France or I'll go insane." Theo was a switch and while he enjoyed taking Joe wholeheartedly, sometimes, like now, he was in desperate need to be the top. Joe didn't like it so they agreed, quite early into their relationship, that they'd be taking someone home when he felt so. Thankfully, Joe did not feel jealous toward those boys like he often did with every other man that breathed the same air as Theo. How his husband wasn't sensitive about the care he was showing William was unknown to him. Maybe the boy had found his way into Joe's 'strictly Theo biased' heart as well with his cuteness. Or maybe it was due to how extremely hot and beautiful he was. Who knows. For now, he was not going to address this in case he'd be poking at a sore wound!
