"One week till the exams", he said nervously.

"If you're good at math, you're good at literally everything", Harry said.

"Why don't you just say that you hate math?", he asked, his bottom lip twitching slightly.

"Math is the worst subject ever. But my dad wants me to learn it. I have a personal tutor for math, can you believe it?", Harry said in an annoyed tone.

He chuckled lightly. It had been ten days since Harry was kidnapped and he hadn't yet seen William's proper smile.

"Hey, why don't you ever smile? Amusement is clearly visible in your eyes. Your eyes speak more than your mouth does!", Harry said.

His cheeks turned pink. He looked away from Harry.

"I should start wearing shades whenever I'm with you"

"Of course, you'd look hot" Harry muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

"N-nothing", Harry said with a wide grin, dimples popping.

And to Harry's surprise, William slowly moved closer to him and poked his left dimple and smiled lightly. Then immediately pulled back, eyes wide.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to, I just...err...sorry"

"It's okay, I don't mind", Harry said with a wider grin.

William was silent.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Harry asked. He just wanted to have a casual conversation, obviously.

"Why are you so nosy? You won't stop asking questions, will you?"

Silence.

"Define girlfriend!", William spoke again.

"To be honest, same", Harry nodded.

William gave a confused look.
"Same what?"

"I don't know either, the definition of girlfriend hehe" Harry said with a small laugh.

"So you don't like girls?", Harry had to ask. But what was the reason Harry?

"I didn't say so", William said with a half smile.

"I mean, umm, of course, girls are great but like, I asked whether you were into girls", Harry what are you doing.

"I'm into girls, but not just girls, if that's what you are asking and I don't have a partner at the moment", Willam said.

Harry just said "Oh".

"Why was it necessary to ask that?"

"Just trying to build a casual conversation" Harry don't be awkward.

"Umm...I think I like boys" Harry gulped.

"Okay"

"My dad doesn't like it"

"Okay"

"I kissed a girl once and didn't like it, that's when I started thinking that I'm not into girls. I told it to Gemma. She told me that I was probably a gay. She had observed me for a long time and that made her think like that. She also told me about other sexualities and it was okay to be not straight. Dad heard it and shouted at her. I think she was sent to boarding school for that reason" Harry said with neutral expression.

William looked at him for a while, concern visible.

"Okay"

"Do you talk to everyone like this?", Harry asked.
