The Blood-stained Deer

Chapter 27: New Adventure and a Relationship Twist

The next morning, I woke up before Will did and walked into the kitchen. I started the coffee maker and stretched as I glanced out the window. "Morning, winston." I said as I bent down to pet the dog that was walking around my feet. Just then I heard movement from the bedroom and walked to see what was going on. "Will, are you okay?" I asked as I was genuinely concerned.

Will jumped slightly and when he figured out what must have happened he chuckled to himself as he sat down on the bed. "Yeah, I guess. I thought you got....I thought something happened to you. Again..." I rolled my eyes. "Oh Will, nothing is going to happen to me at your house, you live in the middle of a massive field. It takes 30 minutes just for someone to get here from the city.

Will laughed again. "I'm surprised you timed it." He said. "Nonetheless, we should have breakfast before heading out. Jack wants to pick us up around 10. Another meeting." He said, rolling his eyes. He rubbed his face as he got up, and I left smiling to myself. He put on pants before coming out. "What do you- " he began, as he noticed there was already food on the table. "Thanks..." He said as he sat down.

"No problem, I made breakfast for you here a lot to know what you like." I said as I also placed a coffee beside him. "Maybe you should stay more often." He chuckled. "Maybe I will." I smirked, taking a sip of my coffee and winking. I could see a blush growing on his cheeks and he returned to eating.

"Hey... Are you wearing one of my shirts?" He asked, just noticing, as he put a dish away. "Took you awhile to notice." I laughed. "Yeah, I noticed that while i was sleeping, i wasn't wearing a shirt, so when I woke up, I just grabbed one and put it on." Will blushed again and so did I. "So I guess you missed your window of seeing me shirtless." I mumbled, just out of the curiosity of seeing what he'd do.

"Did I?" He asked, smirking this time. "I wonder who stripped you so Hannibal could stitch you together." I looked at the ground, trying to hide my blush. "Sorry that sounded...more awkward than I meant it."

"I don't mind Will." I chuckled. "Your awkwardness is kind of cute. Its refreshing after seeing everyone else's uptightness... Don't tell Jack I called him uptight." I laughed. Will let out a full hearted laugh. "I won't and between you and me, I think he already knows." I laughed again and hugged Will, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Well...I believe Jack's here. Thanks for making breakfast by the way, it was delicious." Will said, sticking his hands in his pockets. "No problem. I've been learning from Hannibal." Will chuckled as we both left and got into Jack's jeep.
