Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 17: An Adventure

Will stood in the corner, fidgeting as quietly as possible. The dining room was silent, save for the occasional clink of cutlery and clearing of throat. Will knew Ford was absolutely pissed with his sassy behavior yesterday, and most likely still brooding over the whole Fidds thing.

"So, Will? Still think Mason has nice hair?" Ford asked, turning to him with an evil smirk.

Will blushed, "Pardon me, sir?"

"Oh, you told me in your delirious state just how amazing it was" the man said, Mason bit his lip.

Will covered his face "I don't remember that" he whined, his hair turning pink. Mabel looked a little shocked at the colour but said nothing, she had never seen it change colour before.

"Cheer up, Will, if you stay out of my hair for the rest of the day, I might leave you alone for a little bit. Before I get you to answer that question."

"Question?"

"Oh, don't worry about it now, I'll jog your memory later" Ford said, standing up to leave, "Eat, I won't say it again" the man added as he left the room.

Will did as he was told, sitting down to scarf the food left over.

"Slow down, Will, you'll hurt yourself" Mabel insisted, Will nodded but continued his maniac eating.

Mason huffed "Slow down."

Will slowed down, slurping up a slice of bacon as he did so "Happy?" he asked, Mason nodded. "Yes, but how the hell did you just slurp up a slice of a bacon like a wet noodle?"

Will grinned "Magic!" he said, doing the jazz hands. Mabel laughed.

"So, how about that walk?" Mason asked, Will nodded "Sounds good" the demon said, wiping his hands on a napkin.

Mason stood up "Come on then" the nineteen-year-old said, happy that he could finally spend some time with Will.

Will raced around the table and picked him, lifting him up over his head as he made for the door. Mason shrieked and grabbed for him as he wobbled "Will! Put me down!"

"Bye you two! Have fun!" Mabel called after them as Will ran to the front door.

She, it appeared, was stuck on breakfast clean up, Mabel sighed and started stacking the plates together "You're lucky I like you two idiots" she muttered to herself.

The forest was warm as the sun streamed through the canopy. Will realized he had been at the Manor almost three months now, he had arrived just before the Winter Gala, which was held on the first day of Winter every year.

Mason slipped his hand in his as they trekked through the under growth. "It's nice, thank you" Will said, smiling down at him. Mason held his hand more tightly and sprinted for it, and Will hurrying to catch up as he was tugged along "Whoa! Slow down!" he giggled, almost tripping over a tree root in Masons adamant sprint.

Mason stopped seconds later, panting and out of breath. "So, we have the whole day to ourselves, what do you want to do?" he asked, putting his hands in the air.

Will thought, and thought, until an idea popped into his head.

"Can we do that human thing?" he asked,

Mason blushed. "I mean, we d-don't have too" Will added, his hair turning pink.

"Sure, if you really want too" Mason replied, leaning on his toes to kiss him.

"Only if you want too"

"I do."

Will quickly fumbled with his buttons, his face flushed as he got dressed. Mason was tying up his laces and also looking a little sweaty. "You want to go for a swim?" the nineteen-year-old asked, Will looked down at him "Isn't there a small lake nearby?" he asked.
