"So... Basically, that I helped you means... I'm dead?", Will asked, trying to keep a steady voice. He was still crouched down on the floor next to Thomas, uncomfortably close - one would think. Will of course wouldn't admit it, but being this near to Thomas made his stomach stir in a way that made him somehow feel happy.
"Naw, they won't have to know. I just hope Lenny isn't gonna tell them."
"Lenny?", Will asked curiously, almost subconsciously, but to some extent purposeful, tracing the pattern of Thomas's jeans. Suddenly he felt a soft hand grab his and an electric pulse ran up his arm and down his spine.
"That tickles", Tom exclaimed with a slight smirk. He somehow thought it to be cute how hard William tried not to be obvious. "Tell me William, what brought you here?", he asked curiously.
William sighed - even that sounds cute - and gave a slight shrug. "I... Well... My parents don't have so much money, and this is the only University they can afford to pay me. I don't... I'm not exactly good at working, you know. Sooner or later I'm always getting fired."
Tom frowned. "Why that? You seem to be quite nice."
"Yeah, too nice. You know, they usually find my way to interact with people weird. Claim that I'm gay, because I'm not yelling at people and conversing nicely with women." He let out a frustrated chuckle.
"But are you?", Tom bursted out. "Are you gay, I mean."
William shrugged "I guess I'm... I am..." and Tom felt how his heart started beating quicker at that and a slight, maybe triumphant smile crept up on his face. Not that he wouldn't have guessed it. The attraction Will felt for him was too obvious to miss, but having Will admit it was something entirely different.
"Uhm... But... You won't tell anyone, will you?", Will asked concernedly, internally slapping himself for having told Thomas about it. He felt relieve rushing threw him when Thomas shook his head.
"No, of course not. What do you think of me?", he asked with a chuckle.
Will's cheeks flushed when the man opposite of him moved closer and he could feel his hot breath on his face.
"Do you... want this?" Will only heard Thomas's voice absently, because the stirring in his stomach somehow consumed all his awareness of presence, but he nodded and replied a faint "Yes".
Then all his world was drowned in the pleasant feeling of Thomas's lips gently brushing against his and sending shivers through his whole body.
Tom waited some moments to take in the pleasant softness of the whole situation, but then started to turn the kiss a bit rougher. His lips didn't only touch William's now, but actually melted into them, his tongue forcing it's way into William's mouth.
The young man gasped slightly, but as soon as he regained his composure, he let the world of forbidden pleasure overwhelm him in his entity.

Chris paced over the yard restlessly. He was still struggling with himself for having let Tom walk off just like that. What if he got hurt? What if he didn't watch out and run in front of a car? What if he hated him from now on? Didn't want to be his... friend anymore? Maybe even tried to find someone else?
Desperation crept up through the young man as he decided to search for his best friend through thick and thin and to talk him into understanding why he had to do, what he had done.
With these thoughts, Chris started to walk up the main street, determined to find Tom, at whatever cost.
