[2] under water, liam dunbar

29 || the worst

Liam knew that he had probably messed up by telling Will he missed him, but he couldn't keep it to himself.

He had told Mason and Corey, and they said he should tell Will. It hadn't seemed like a good idea, and he was almost positive he'd regret it.

Turns out he was right. Liam wished he hadn't missed one of his best friends in a not so-innocent way.

"You need to talk to him, Liam." Mason speaking snapped the other boy out of his thoughts.

"I know! I just.. can't. I can't bring myself to hear what he'll say. What if he hates me?" Liam whined.

"He literally said he misses you."

"Not my point."

"What if I come with you to see him?" Mason asked.

"No."

"We're doing it anyway, get up."

Liam narrowed his eyes at his friend before sighing. There was no point in arguing, he thought. Mason always fixed his problems when Scott couldn't.

So, the two boys walked out of Liam's house and climbed into Mason's car.

"Does he know we're coming over?" Liam wondered.

"Kind of. I told him we might be over but I never say 100%"

"Lovely." The blue-eyed boy groaned.

"Okay. Get out." Mason said nonchalantly.

"You said you were coming with me!"

"And I'm here, aren't I?"

"You're the worst." Liam joked as he got out of the car. He took a deep breath and walked up to the front door.

"Why is Mason sitting in the car?" Will asked while he closed the door behind Liam.

"It's a long story. Are you uh.. mad at me?"

"No? Why would I be?"

"I don't know.. the phone call.." Liam mumbled.

"Oh. Why would i be mad, though?"

"Good question!"

Silence followed Liam's response, causing the two to grow uncomfortable.

"Is that all you came for?" Will finally spoke.

"Yeah, basically."

"That's fucking weird."

"It wasn't my idea! But I should probably leave." Liam said awkwardly.
Will nodded and walked him to the door.

"Hey, would it be weird if I hugged you?" The shorter boy asked.

"I don't think so?"

Liam pulled Will into a tight hug. His head was close to the boy's chest, making his cologne the only thing Liam could smell. It made him reminisce about when he used to go home and that was the only thing he could smell.

Will backed away from the contact, Liam fumbling for the door handle so he could leave.

"I'll see you on Monday?" Liam asked.

"Yeah. I might come home for lunch though. So you might not."

Liam stepped outside and turned around to say bye to his friend.

"Love you. Bye." He spat out. It took a second before he realized what he said, although the look on Will's face should've given it away.

Avoiding another awkward conversation, Liam quickly went back to the car.
