Look came back! Anyway, my charger is on the fritz, might need to replace it soon. Also, I haven't read the Book of Bill yet, but from what I've gathered from spoilers, it's pretty gay, so that's cool.

Anyway, back to the melodrama
——————————————————

As soon as he gotten far enough, Ford collapsed on the ground. His body wrecked with rampant breaths as he thought back to what he had done.

Tad's lips...he could still feel the warmth emitting from them. The softness—

Stop, Ford thought, abruptly.

What had he done? What possessed him to do such a thing? Tad surely despised him now, and Ford deserved every ounce of it.

Despite his willpower, tears were falling quickly. Ford choked back sobs, curling into himself, wanting to disappear from the world.

"Sixer?"

Ford groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Go away, you're the last person I want to see."

There was a pause, then Ford heard footsteps draw closer, and he finally looked up to see Bill staring down at him with a neutral expression and carrying a soda can.

"Spill it, nerd," the blond said. "This is the first time I've seen you act human, and I'm curious."

Ford let out a miserable sigh. "Forgive me...I've done something unforgivable to your brother."

Bill's eyes widened, then grew angry. "What did you do to Will—?"

"Not Will. Tad," he said. "I...I kissed him..."

The blond blinked a few times, then said. "Oh, is that all?"

"Without permission," Ford admitted, shamefully.

"Okay, now that's screwed up," Bill said. He took a sip from his soda, before giving Ford a long look. "Did you apologise?"

"I-I did."

"Did he forgive you?"

"He didn't say, but most likely, he hates my guts now," Ford said, bowing his head.

Bill tilted his head. "Why did you kiss him?"

Ford bit his bottom lip, not saying anything.

Bill took his silence as an answer. "Ah, so you are in love with him."

Ford tried to deny, to say anything other than—

"Yes," he said, the truth hurt so much. "I think I've always loved him—but that's not right!" He stood up. "I can't have these feelings—not for a Demon!"

Bill sighed. "For someone so smart, you sure are stupid. For once in your life, look past your hatred for Demons, and see past the surface. I know deep down, you don't care that he's a Demon, you love him for him."

Ford stared at him. "You really believe that?"

"Yeah..." Bill said, with a shrug.
