The next day. William was waiting in front of Percy's bedroom door, waiting for him to be done changing clothes.

William knocked on the door.

-Are you done there?

-Almost!

-Hurry, Percy, or else we will arrive late.

William paced back and forth in front of Percy's bedroom door, glancing at his watch. They had planned to meet Percy's friends for a movie and lunch, and Percy was taking longer than usual to get ready.

-Come on, Percy, it's just a movie! -William called out, half-joking.

-Yeah, but I want to look good! -Percy replied from behind the door, a hint of laughter in his voice.

William shook his head with a smile, leaning against the wall. He couldn't help but think about how much things had changed between them recently. The previous night had felt different, more intimate, and it had left William feeling a mix of confusion and curiosity.

The door finally opened, and Percy stepped out, looking more put together than William had ever seen him.

-Wow... -William said. He looked from up and down at Percy and tried not to blush or say anything that made him uncomfortable -Going for a red carpet look?

Percy laughed, rubbing the back of his neck.

-Just wanted to make a good impression. Ready to go?

-Yeah, let's go -William replied, still smiling.

They headed out, making their way to the bus stop. As they walked, Percy couldn't help but steal glances at William, who seemed more relaxed and content than usual. It was a sunny day, and the light breeze carried the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers.

-So, what movie are we watching again? -William asked, trying to make conversation and distract himself from his thoughts.

-It's that new action movie everyone's been talking about -Percy replied. -You know, the one with the crazy stunts and explosions! Should be fun!

William nodded, trying to focus on the day ahead rather than the whirlwind of emotions he felt whenever he was around Percy.

When they arrived at the cinema, their friends were already waiting for them. 

-Hey guys! -Percy greeted, smiling brightly. -Look, William! These are my friends. She's Lila -Percy pointed to a short girl with pink-dyed hair. -He's Ben -Percy touched the shoulder of a guy of the same height as William, with dark hair. -And he is Stuart -Percy pointed at a short blonde guy.

-Nice to meet you all -William said, smiling and feeling a bit more at ease.

Lila, Ben and Stuart looked to eachother, doubting to greet William as well.

-Yeah, hi... -Said Lila, while she was chewing gum.

Ben and Stuart kept silence.

A minutes later, when they were about to enter to the movies room, they felt someone runing behind them to reach them.

William and Percy turned around. 

In that moment, William wished he hadn't get out of bed that morning.

-Hey!

-Hi, Marco! I thought you wouldn't be able to come! -Percy greeted Marco with a smile on his face.
