Will Cipher x Reader

Chapter 3

Guysssss, I'm so sorry for not updating T~T but I guess I kinda lost motivation. I'll try to add more to the story soon.

After nobody answered, you knocked again. "Will...? Can I come in?"
"Y-yes... the doors o-open..." you heard from behind the door. You slowly opened it and stepped in. The room wasn't as well taken care of compared to the other rooms in the Manor. Some of the wallpaper from one side of the wall was peeling, and it was illuminated by a single lightbulb. If it were any darker you wouldn't have been able to see anything. There was a clouded mirror on one side of the room, a small wooden closet, and a bed with a rusty bed frame. Sitting up on the Bed was Will. You could see that he was, or had been crying. You walked over and sat down next to him. He jumped back a little at the sudden gesture, but then seemed to get used to it. "Will... are you okay?" He looked like he was about to say something but then started crying. You pulled him into a hug and started to stroke his back gently to calm him down. You kept doing this until he relaxed and hugged you back.
"I-I'm so sorry {y/n}... y-you probably think that I'm a-a big crybaby..."
"Hey, it's okay... I guess they don't treat you very well here, do they...?" You replied.
"N-No... they don't..."
There was a long pause. You wanted to help him, no matter what the consequences.
Will then looked at you with an expression that you haven't seen on him before. It was serious, more grown up.
"{Y/n}... T-there's something that I need to tell you..." he said as a faint blush started to form on his pale face.
He was about to speak, but then his eyes went wide and he started looking around the room in fear.
"Oh no..." he said quietly.
"Will? What's wrong?" You asked.
"You need to leave... Now."
"What?" You were confused.
"T-they're watching... I can feel it..." He said, the confidence that was there a moment ago now replaced with fear.
"There's no time to explain! Go!" He said quickly pushing you out the door.
"Wait, Will what are you-"
He closed the door behind you before he could finish speaking.
You knew something was wrong. Very wrong, and you wanted to help him. You wanted to pull open the door and be ready to protect him with your life, but you knew you couldn't. Instead you stood there, frozen in fear and confusion. When you were finally able to move, you decided it was best if you went back to your room. You went to your room, which was a door down the hall, and trusted that Will would be alright.

That night you couldn't sleep. You were kept awake with thoughts of Will. You thought about ways to help him, the mystery behind your strange cousins, and even plans to escape. You had a lot of guy friends back at home, but you never cared about them in the same way that you thought about Will. You picked up your phone and put in your earbuds. Music always helped you calm down. You were staring up at the ceiling when you came to a realization.

Shit.

I think I'm in love...

The more you thought about it, the more true it seemed. You were getting really tired, and you just wanted to sleep at this point. You closed your eyes as you mouthed the last lyric of the song.
"I love you..."
