Stuck chapter 23

Will felt like he was out of his body. He felt like the ground under his feet was melting. Like he was wavering. Like... like it wasn't real what he was watching.

He had been the first one there. He had been the one who took the steps toward Mr. Walton. But he had thought the man needed space so he just stood back so the man could pour all his anger on the sand bag. He had no idea what had made him this enraged but it was obvious the older was trying his best to control it even though he wasn't very successful in doing so.

And then suddenly someone he didn't know ran to the man, held his hands and hugged him. The way the honey-brown eyes lost all tension when Mr. Walton saw the guy had him feeling like crying. He knew it. It was jealousy. He was so jealous he felt like exploding. But, he forced himself to stay put. It wasn't like he had any right to interfere. They weren't anything, the husbands and him.

Benji. His name was apparently that. Not a very pretty name if you asked Will but it felt like the man uttered it with so much affection. Will also wanted the guy to stop singing already.  Because... if it had been Will trying to calm the man down, he'd have no idea he would do it by singing. He really didn't know anything about Mr. Walton at the end of the day.

Benji was short. Very petit. His skin was fair. Golden hair and eyes a darker shade of blue. Unlike Will who chose to wear mature outfits, Benji was all boyish styled. Was this the man's taste? Will bit on his cheek because even if he forced himself to, he could never wear such things. And that made him angry at himself for some reason.

Benji had to come up on his tip toes to be able to look directly into his boss's eyes, telling him he was his friend before they were-- ............ boyfriends.

Boyfriends

Benji stood there for a while even after Mr. Walton left them both. Well, that is, if the man even remembered he was also there in the first place. It hurt so much. But he was just being dramatic. Of course someone with a beautiful heart like Mr. Walton would still hold on to the love for his ex. But why had they broken up when the both of them clearly felt so much for the other?

He was lashing out at the guy in his head, screaming at him to leave already. Will wanted to be the only one when the man came out. Benji turned around and made eye contact with him after seconds, smiling sadly with tears in his eyes.

When the guy started walking toward him, he felt like backing away but didn't.

"Hello. I'm... Benji. You are...?"

"William." He said. "Mr. Walton and Mr. Carpenter's assistant."

"Ah!" The smile looked genuine. It made Will feel ashamed of himself and his ugly thoughts. "Nice to meet you, William. I'm gonna leave but could you please make sure he gets home safe? I'm sorry I'm asking this of you."

"Of course. That's why I'm here." Benji looked so healthy from up close. A healthy amount of meat under his skin, glowing and perfect. But then Will was all bones. He really wasn't the man's type, was he?

"Thank you so much. Have a nice weekend, William!" Benji smiled at him, patting his arm before looking back at where the man had disappeared to and leaving.

It was perhaps ten minutes or so later when Mr. Walton came out. Will quickly got up on his feet but remained quiet. The man was frowning at his phone but when he looked up and saw him, he froze. All he saw before the intimidating CEO ran to him were the eyes that grew as wide as they could go.
