Chapter 7

Will walked down the street, closely followed by Harry, who decided to drag along. He sighed as he looked around and decided to enter the small grocery store on the side of the main street. The young woman behind the counter greeted friendly and Will smiled at her. Harry stumbled inside shortly after and looked around curiously. Will sighed. "You have to excuse my... friend. He's not really used to social interaction."
The young woman nodded. "It's okay. My name is Nadia. If you need anything special, just tell me. I'll see what we have in store."
The young man nodded again, then also looked around. "It's a nice shop."
"True", Harry commented and looked around a little more. "I find it to be very pretty."
"It is indeed", a deep voice behind them agreed.
Will spun around to face the tall young man, with the stunning smile and the bruised cheek, who now stood right in front of them.

Tom smiled at the slightly smaller man. "I don't think, we've met yet. I'm Thomas." He saw the man nod and hold out his hand.
"My name is William. I study here", he responded while Tom shook his hand. "Ahhh, okay. I guessed that. Nice to meet you anyways."
As an answer, Will only nodded again.
"And you are?", Tom asked as he let go of William's hand and turned to the blonde man standing next to him.
"I'm Harry", came the short reply, paired with a warmhearted smile, that made up for the shortness of his words. Tom smiled at him as well, then he turned to Nadia. "Do you have some ice maybe?"
Nadia sighed and rolled her eyes. "Sure", she replied and went into the back of the shop to fetch the ice.

Will somehow wasn't able to turn his gaze away from Thomas. Something about the tall, blond man seemed incredibly captivating. He couldn't quite make out what it was though. Maybe it was his eyes, Will thought. They looked like you could drown in them. Or his lips maybe? Thin, but, hell, they looked soft. And his curls really highlighted these gorgeous cheekbones. The bruise on his cheek looked awfully painful though, and in spite of the fact that Will actually never really had been slapped, he could imagine how much it hurt. But it did look painfully good on Thomas, too.
"I am really thsinking about buying thsiths chocolate bar."
Harry's voice ripped Will out of his thoughts, and he internally cursed him for it. The fact that he was disturbed thinking things like that, made him very uneasy. It felt like he would have been caught masturbating. Like you needed to stand trial to yourself for why you had been even doing it.
"Do you thsink I thshould?"
Will shrugged. "Go ahead. Ain't no sin, is it?"

Tom had noticed the stares William had given him just too good. He wondered wether the young man even noticed himself that he was, indeed, staring. He chuckled to himself at how startled William looked after Harry had interrupted his thoughts, or fantasies. Nadia returned and pulled a face at Tom.
"Please try to be careful, okay?"
Tom promised it and payed for the ice, then he turned and headed outside. But not before winking at William, whose blush was too obvious to stay unnoticed for Tom.
