The Afton Family Reunion

A Mischance

The next morning, William was wandering around with his head in the clouds. Even Elizabeth (who had been told of what was happening by Michael himself) and Michael were amused at seeing their father's transparency. None of them noticed Roselle's absence.

That day, at work after dropping off the children at school, William seemed to be in seventh heaven. Every time Henry sent a glance towards William the man would blush and then internally chastise himself for acting like a lovesick schoolgirl. 

Needless to say, Henry was rather confused. 'Why is he acting like this?' he wondered... All of a sudden, it seemed to click together. 'The lingering glances... The soft blushes... and the general shyness... he likes me? But, I thought he and Roselle were married? Hmmmm.... I'll talk to him later...'

"Hey Will?" Henry asked.

"Yes, Henry?"

"Do you like me?" There was no point in beating around the bush.

"W-what?" He was stuttering? How cute.

"I said, do you like me?" Henry repeated gently.

"Um, well yes, I do but-" He trailed off.

"That's all I needed to know." He interrupted. "What about Roselle? Does she know?"

"Well, actually, she was the one that made me realise that I like you and she said that she would get the divorce papers last night, but she didn't return. She must've stayed the night in a hotel or something." He was squirming in his seat now, feeling embarrassed that it was his wife that caught on to his feelings for his best mate.

"That's strange. But for now," He said. "May I kiss you?"

"W-what?" William squeaked out. He had not been expecting that!

"You seem to be saying that a lot these days, Will~" Henry had crossed whatever distance was between them and leaning down a bit so that their eyes were at the same level. William felt his cheeks grow hot as their breaths mingled together. 

"I- Henry, what are we?" William, as if in a trance, noticed how Henry's lips curved up slightly.

"We can be whatever you want, sweetheart." William felt his blush grow deeper at the nickname.

Then, slowly as if trying not to freak William out, Henry leaned in and pressed their lips together. William let out a soft whine and pressed back to reciprocate the gentle kiss.

~Later~ (They only kissed and hugged, no smut this early)

As William was driving back home, he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong... He neared his house still lost in his thoughts as he tried to shake off the feeling.

As he reached the driveway, he suddenly noticed the cop car that was parked outside the front gate. 'Did they somehow find out what I did? No, it can't be, only Henry knows about this... '

When he pulled over, the cop came over asked, "Are you William Afton?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" He felt a sinking feeling in his chest.

"Sir, we regret to inform you that your wife deceased last night." What? How was this possible?

"What do you mean, deceased!?"

"Calm down, Sir, we found out that the car breaks had failed and she drove off a cliff." 'I told to not go! She didn't listen...'

William sighed, "Where is the accident sight? I'd like to see that."
