Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 27: Sleep

Will knocked on Stanford's door at around 10 am that night, tired himself and looking forward to a good sleep, hugging his boyfriend to him. Mason was shorter than he was and although he was top, he liked to rub it in just how more dominant he could be.

"Come in" came Ford's bored voice. Will twisted the knob and pushed open the door "Master, it's time to sleep," he said, trying his best not to sound creepy. Ford looked up from his desk in confusion. "What?"

"Sleep, we talked about this, this morning?"

"Oh, right."

Ford stood up from his desk with a sigh, grumbling at the time, it was far too early in his opinion,

"Come on, sir!" Will said as Ford tried his best to delay the inevitable.

"Pushy much, I'm not even tired" he said, slipping under the covers of his bed.

Will came over and put a hand on his forehead, connecting to Ford's brain with his magic. There was a horrid blocking feeling, something pushed him away and made his skin crawl. He flinched and blinked for a few seconds, trying again, the resistance thankfully moving away.

"Something wrong, Will?" Ford asked, noticing the look on his face.

Will smiled "No no, I just thought of something I need to do" he answered, using his magic to knock him out. The man's eyelids slipped closed, "Goodnight Master" Will whispered, tucking him in better. He shut the curtains and left the desk mess alone. Ford would have everything in its place there, messy or not. Will closed the bedroom door behind him and sighed, leaning on the painted wood. That had been strange, very strange.

Almost as if someone-

Will's eyes widened

-as if someone had tampered with Stanford's mind.

But then the question was, who?

And why?

2 weeks later ~

Will nudged Mason awake, giggling softly "Mas!"

"Hghrhrhf"

"Mas! Wake up!"

"Whyyyy?" Mason complained, Will giggled "Happy birthday to meeeeee!"

"Oh, my goodness! I forgot!" Mason hugged him tightly "Happy birthday Will!" he added, peppering his face with kisses,

"Thanks! I could evolve any time from now till midnight! I'm so excited!" Will replied, his eyes shining as he got out of bed to get dressed.

Mason rolled over to the warm spot Will had left behind "What will you look like?" he asked, so ready to go back to sleep.

"I have no idea!" Will said, finishing up the buttons on his shirt "Welp, I better go wake up Stanford" he said, heading over to the door. Mason raised an eyebrow "He can't wake up without magic either?"

Will nodded "Nope, got to wake him up, or he'll sleep forever."

Mason chuckled.

Ford was drooling on his pillow when he opened the door to the dark stuffy room. The demon pulled open the curtains and opened the window to let in some fresh air before he went over and placed a hand on Ford's forehead. "Morning Master! Good sleep?" he asked, smiling down at him as Ford's eyes opened, "Huh? Will? What's the matter?" the man asked, sounding confused and concerned.

"Nothing, I was just waking you up, don't be alarmed, everything's fine, you've had seven hours of sleep, more than last time" Will said,

"Seven hours?" Ford echoed, Will chuckled. "Yup! Breakfast in ten," the demon replied.

Ford stopped him as he made to leave. "Happy Birthday, William."

Will grinned "You knew?"

Ford nodded.

"Thanks!" Will replied.

"Wait!"

Will stopped in his tracks yet again. "Yes?"

"Come here," Ford said, motioning him over.

Will did as he was told, looking concerned. Ford reached out and tapped the glowing chains around his neck and wrists that had appeared. They disappeared from their respective places. "We're still bound, there's no way to reverse that, but you still must serve me I'm afraid. You just don't need to wear those chains, there's no point in rubbing it in," he said sheepishly.

Will was shocked,

Fucking heck no, who was this man?

It wasn't Stanford, that's for sure.

"I uh, also evolve today, if you're wondering"

"Ooo, can I take notes? Or record it? For scientific reasons, of course" Ford said, looking positively excited, like a kid on Christmas.

"I want cake in return" Will replied.

"You're going to get more than cake, I assume," Ford said, getting out of bed.

Will frowned "Should I be worried?" he asked,

"What? No no, I'm just utterly SICK of the delivery man turning up with a parcel for 'Master William Cipher' every now and then, you've got some er, interesting stuff to count as presents, it's all in the ballroom though, but first, Breakfast!"

Will blinked "You guys got me stuff?" he asked in shock.

Ford nodded. "Of course!"

Will rubbed his eyes. "I'm dreaming! I must be..." he grumbled, making his way to the kitchen to start breakfast.

~

Mason was in the kitchen making a start on breakfast. Will hugged him from behind as he practically skipped in. "Thank you for helping with breakfast. Notice anything different about me?"

Mason surveyed his boyfriend "Uhhh? Your hairs got glitter in it?"

Mason narrowed his eyes "No! My chains are gone!" Will said, spinning around to show him, the usual lighting up of said chains didn't happen.

Mason smiled "He got rid of them? Really? Good, I hated those things."

"Now I can scratch my neck!" Will said, giggling. He looked down at his fingers in shock, the tips had appeared to have been dipped in a purple galaxy.

Mason gasped and Will smiled "Seems I'll be evolving bit by bit, now, can I borrow your phone? I want to call Fidds."

"What? Why would you want him here?"

"For Master Ford of course, he's always happier when Fidds is about."

Mason handed over his phone, focusing on not burning the bacon.

Will went into the hallway to talk, coming back moments later with a smirk on his face "He said he'd be here, and get this, he wants me to try to get Ford to wear those boots"

"Oh god no, Will, you think if Fidds asked him, do you think he actually would?" Mason asked with a grin.

Will rubbed his hands together. "I have a plan."
