Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 41: Will You Do Me The Honor?

Will's frantic devouring of the evening meal had everyone watching him. Mostly in disgust and shock at the animalistic eating. Will looked up from his chewing. "What?" he asked, noticing the horrified gazes.

"Your manners are appalling" Mabel grumbled.

"Hungry huh?" Mason asked, poking at his toast.

Will nodded "Tiny flat stomach, now big human stomach" he explained as if his boyfriend was stupid. "I'm starving!" he added, shoving a good handful of bacon into his mouth. Ford pushed his food away as Will's cheeks bulged, "And I've lost my appetite," he grumbled.

Will gave him an apologetic look and swallowed his mouthful. "By the way, Bill? Mabel? I need to talk to you after breakfast...alone" he said, finishing his breakfast and wiping his greasy fingers on the cloth Mason passed him.

Bill sighed "Great," he said, not looking very happy about the fact that his twin wanted a private chat. Will rolled his eyes. "Relax you dope, you're not in trouble."

Bill visibly relaxed and Will grabbed some scrambled eggs when he realized he was still hungry. Marina hissed "Slow down! You're making me feel sick just looking at you scarfing food!" smacking his hand with her tail.

"Sorry, Marina" he replied, spraying crumbs everywhere.

"So? What is it?" Bill asked, once they had left the dining room. Will looked around the library he had dragged them to, to make sure they weren't being watched and grinned at them once he had mentally given himself the all clear.

"I'm going to ask Mason to marry me, tonight, Fords given his blessing" he answered, eyes sparkling as he watched their expressions change.

"WHAT!?"

Bill was utterly shocked and Mabel looked as if she was about to explode from happiness. Will raised an eyebrow as Bill choked on his words as he tried to get them out, "Is that okay, brother?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Bill shot over to him and pulled him into a hug so Will couldn't see him crying. "It's fine," he said, his voice strained. Will chuckled and hugged him back. "I still need a wedding ring, nothing fancy, just a plain band or something."

Mabel took his hands and grinned. "Leave that up to me! I have just the thing!" she exclaimed. Will smiled "Great, thank you Mabel"

"You're welcome," the young woman sang, racing off to go sort the ring situation before tonight.

"She's not going to let me do anything, is she?" Will asked, arms still around his brother.

Bill chuckled. "Nope, this is her wedding now."

Will snorted.

Mabel stuffed the small dark blue box into his hands behind his back as he stood there nervously. "Now!" she hissed, pushing him forward as he refused to budge from his spot. Ford watched with amusement and put his knife and fork down to enjoy the inevitable show.

Mason looked up from his plate, still eating and gave the three a confused look.

Why were Mabel and Bill grinning like that?

And why was Will looking so nervous?

"Is something wrong?" he asked, Will shook his head, took a deep breath and got down on one knee, bringing out the small box from behind his back and opening it up so that the ring inside glinted in the lights above. Mason's eyes widened in shock.

If this is a prank, you're all dead meat!

Will smiled, "Mason Gleeful, Ever since I first met you, you have been nothing but kind and patient with me, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my mortal days with you, will you do me the honor of becoming my Husband?"
