Chapter Eight ~ Taco Bell and Discussions

William arrived at Taco Bell before Ronald had and he was a bit anxious to meet his friend's new date. He knew Ron had been flirting with the waitress but what could possibly have happened in the short span of time that they had been apart since yesterday. He figured he would find out soon and he took a seat at one of the outside tables as he waited for them. When Ronald finally arrived he was alone and William was completely confused. "Where's your date?" he asked looking around to see if anyone was nearby.

Ron smirked a bit. "On their way." He couldn't wait to see Will's face when he found out he was being set up. Adrian had gone to get Grell and was going to meet them there in a few minutes.

"There's more than one?" William asked, picking up the plural word 'their'. He was even more confused now than he had been when Ron showed up alone. "Or are you just being weird?" He questioned.

"I guess you'll just have to wait and see." Ron grinned.

William sighed and ran his hand over his face. He didn't even want to know what was being planned for him. The devious grin and secretive words told him he wasn't going to like this very much. "So should we wait out here or inside?" He asked.

"Inside definitely." He knew that Will would sit across from him so all he had to do was sit facing the window so Will would have his back to the window. Then the plan could proceed even more perfectly. It would be a complete and total surprise and he was dying to see Will's face when that happened.

The seating plan worked perfectly and they sat there talking about relatively nothing. Then Ron watched Adrian pull into the parking lot with Grell in the passenger seat. He kept the grin from his face and made it seem as if he was still checking to see if they were there yet. William completely dismissed the fact that Ronald was checking again and bought every single part of the performance.

Then Adrian walked in with Grell right behind him. The redhead had dressed up a little for the occasion and put a bit of make up on as well as thoroughly brushing his hair instead of leaving it a little messy. At first William didn't notice and that was even more perfect for the surprise. Adrian walked up to Ron and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek, sitting down next to him. William stared, thinking it was just another strange thing that the guy did, but when Ronald gripped his shirt that Adrian was borrowing and pulled him in for an actual kiss, Will's eyes widened and he stared in shock. He hadn't realized that Grell was there yet either, but that would be another thing he would have to freak out over in a minute.

"R-ron, I-I didn't know you were ... uh, y'know...." Wiliam trailed off as he watched the couple pull away from their lingering kiss.

"Gay?" Adrian helped, offering the word that William clearly still wasn't comfortable with. He smiled smugly and wrapped his arm around Ron's waist, squeezing his hip. Ron squeaked a bit and looked at him with a small blush.

"Yeah." William said, he felt sort of rude for gawking the way he was and for not being comfortable with a word that he was sometimes sure also applied to him.

Grell let out a small 'awww' at the lovebirds as he sat down next to Will. "Ronnie's got a boyfriend before I do? That's just not fair." He teased. "You two so adorable together." That's when William noticed him there, the thoughts of the previous night and his uncontrollable action made him scowl and look away from Grell, effectively giving him the cold shoulder and making it seem like he was pissed that Grell was there.

"Will, what the hell?" Ron asked. He was seriously messing with him right now and he couldn't help but feel like it wasn't the reaction he wanted or the one Will wanted to give either. Grell looked concerned and began to wonder if he had done something wrong.
