Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 19: A Little Music Fixes Everything

Will practiced his violin in the ballroom for the evening's events, while Mason was in the kitchen, busy preparing the food for the guests.

The demon had chosen the light blue violin from the many that lined the walls, a same shade of blue as his hair that would also pair well with his white suit. After he was done with the cooking and had cleaned up his mess, Mason decided to go watch Will play a bit. The demon was just finishing up his song when he appeared at the door. Will bowed with a grin as he set the violin at his feet. Prompting Mason to clap "You're still amazing"

"I know, stop saying that," Will replied, pulling him into a hug. He leaned down to kiss him just as Ford was passing in the hallway. In an awkward panic the man threw himself behind the door before they could spot him. Unfortunately, the door wasn't locked and it opened as he leaned against it, and he fell to the floor in embarrassment.

Will and Mason pulled apart and looked down.

"Are you okay, sir?" Will asked, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Ugh, yes, I'm fine...Just...Never mind" he stuttered standing up, his face red as a tomato as he hurried out the room.

Will and Mason burst into laughter once he had left, trying very hard to rein it in. "He just fell over!" Will cried, wiping the tears from his eyes as he struggled to breathe.

"He- he tried to be inconspicuous, hiding behind the door but- but, oh my god!!" Mason said, wheezing as he laughed.

They stumbled to the door as they giggled "Lets go get ready" Will said, leaning against the wall as he fought to calm himself down.

Will snorted and the two burst into fresh peels of laughter as they made their way back to their only slightly shared room.

"I really hope he didn't hear us laughing," Will said as they reached their room. Mason yanked open the wardrobe door and shrugged "I bet he did"

"He's either going to murder me or see the humor in it all and not do anything" Will said, using magic to put on the suit, he made a few changes to the design as he did so.

"Well, the party is tonight, if you want to get away with anything, this is a pretty good day to do it" Mason said.

Will fixed his hair in the mirror and turned around, arms out as he smiled. "How do I look?"

"Stunning" Mason replied, coming over to admire him more.

"Well, oh gosh, now I feel all embarrassed" Will said, blushing a little.

Mason laughed "Was that a southern accent?"

Will shut his mouth and Mason grinned "It was!"

"Y'all have them, why not me?"

"They're not that strong" Mason said, rolling his eyes,

"I was trying, your accents are just, withered down"

"Oof" Mason said, grimacing.

"Oof" Will said, tilting his face and kissing him hard.

Mason mentally smirked.

Will pulled away and checked the time, "Time to go greet the guests at the door, I'll leave you to get ready, quickly!" he said, clapping his hands excitedly.

Will ran down the stairs two at a time and skidded into the entrance hall to open the door, just as the doorbell rang for the first of the guests. They came streaming in, one at a time, babbling to each other, and whispering secrets Will's ears didn't have time to catch. One lady thought he was just a sweetheart and patted his cheek with her hand as she hobbled in. Will smiled softly, face red, some people could be so nice.
