✦Will ✦

"You're an idiot. Why aren't you in ISS?" Will asked, taking Connor's nurse pass.

"Said I needed an ice pack," Connor said, grinning as Will smiled and walked to the refrigerator, pulling out a bag of ice and wrapping it in a paper towel. He handed it to Connor, smiling and blushing as their fingers brushed.

"Hey, Will, I need - oh."

Will stepped back from Connor as his father entered the room, eyeing their close proximity and almost touching hands. The blonde quickly scribbled Connor's back to class note and handed it to him, Connor handing Will a different piece of paper, before whispering a cute, small, "bye" and rushing back to his ISS room. Will smiled and shook his head as he saw a line of sloppy numbers written on the small, torn piece of paper. Will looked up and saw his father grinning with raised eyebrows.

"What?" Will asked, slipping the piece of paper in his pocket. His father shook his head and turned to his computer, typing whatever school nurses needed to type during the day.

Will hadn't seen or heard from Connor in a few days, so naturally, he was worried. Then he had to remind himself that Connor had gotten in trouble and was more than likely grounded at home for his behavior.

Right now, Will was at Apollo's music store, sitting behind the cash register in an office chair and spinning around. Business was slow today and he was the only one working, so he was quite bored.

He turned to the piano in the back of the room, grinning to himself before hopping up from the chair and ecstatically running to it, plopping down in the wooden seat. He placed his hands on the keys softly so they wouldn't make a single noise, before grinning, tapping a few keys experimentally. He looked behind him to see no one coming in, so he played the chorus of one of the few songs he knew.

  "Just know you're not alone," he sang quietly, "I'm gonna make this place your home." He slowed the tempo down so that it was more sensual in his opinion. He recalled one acapella group doing part of the song in a song mashup similar to what he just did, but couldn't remember what group it was. He thought about what other songs he knew on the piano, before grinning as he began to slowly play his favorite song.

  "Wise men say, only fools rush in, but I can't help, falling in love with you," he sang quietly and slowly, not hearing someone entering the store.

  "Oh, hey," someone muttered and Will jumped, almost falling out of the seat. He turned to the doorway and saw Connor standing there awkwardly, rocking back and forth on his heels. "You're amazing."

  "What?"

  "You're amazing. At singing. And playing the piano," Connor said and Will smiled, a small blush coating his cheeks.

"Thanks. But uh...why are you here?" Will got up and walked back to the cash register, sitting in the office chair, which creaked underneath him. Connor leaned against the counter that Will was behind, smirking.

"To see you."

  "Oh," Will murmured, blushing darkly and looking down at hands, which he fiddled with anxiously. "How did you know I was here?"

  "Well, I kind of remembered the way here when Travis dropped you off after ice cream," Connor admitted, before blushing. "Is that weird?"

  "No, not at all," Will said, feeling himself smile. "It's sweet."

  "Oh, and also..." Connor moved his hands from behind his back to show a small bouquet of flowers. "I asked your dad what your favorite flower is and I brought you some," Connor said, smiling and blushing as he handed it to Will, who blushed darker and mumbled a cute, sweet 'thank you'. "I figured out that it's symbolic of joyfulness and paradise, so I-" Connor stopped himself, wanting to say, 'because I feel like I'm in paradise around you' but stopped himself, fearing it would sound too clingy. "Never mind."

"Thank you. They're lovely."

  "So are you."
