TW: -overthinking -fluff that's so sweet your teeth will rot (not rly)
I got a lot of love on my Helliam chapter so here's a part two! I don't think this is quite as good as part one but please lmk.
//Henry's POV//
My eyes slowly fluttered open to see Willy curled into my side, seeming to be snuggled as close as he could get. The light from my blinds gave a soft illumination that left a gentle glow on the sleeping man's face perfectly. I draped an arm over Will's shoulder and he wrapped one over my stomach as if he was aware. I shut my eyes and let out a content sigh, deciding to bask in the bliss for a moment longer. My thoughts carried me away and roamed freely with 'what ifs'. Some were of worry, others were of William. I mean I did just get him back, I could lose him again so easily. My arm had tightened a bit around him in a move of protection while my mind continued down a perilous path.
I was broken from my train of thought by William, who I thought to had been sleeping, tightly wrapping his arms around me. I hugged him back and felt a shaky breath emit from him. When we pulled back a little I could finally see the scared expression on his face. "Are you okay Henry?" He said as he rubbed his hand over my cheek and I only realized I had been crying when I felt him wipe away my tears. I stayed silent, unsure what to say, letting him soothe my thoughts away. About ten minutes later I finally spoke up, "This might sound weird but even though you're right here, I still miss you.."
He gave me an encouraging look as if to let me continue, "I haven't seen you in so long, it's hard to comprehend that you're right in front of me. I just-.. really missed you I guess, every individual thing about you." I said, smiling at the shade of pink his face had turned. "Even though you're smile and laugh are a rare sight, they could light up a room." I continued, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. "And I love how no matter the difficulty you find in showing your emotions, you always seem let your walls down with me." He looked up at me and I could see his eyes were glistening with unshed tears.
I know when he was growing up this was the kind of denied attention he had craved. He was deprived of this love and affection for his whole life and I want to be the one who let's him feel it. A smile was soon plastered on his face as well as a very noticeable blush. I love being the reason he's happy, I thought to myself as I rubbed my hand over his. "Why don't we go out for breakfast Will, it'll be fun!" I proposed the idea as it randomly popped into my head. "Sure." He said and gave me another tight hug. Willy always gave the best hugs, with a protective, loving, warmth that seemed to linger awhile after. I longed for his hugs with a crave that only his embrace could fulfill.
We both got dressed and ready to head out the door. "The diner is really close, we could walk if you want. Although I usually take my car, I'm not opposed to a walk." I said, offering him the choice. "C-can we take the car.. I'm still really tired and haven't had my coffee yet." He replied with a small chuckle, I tried to hold back my laughter from his response but I failed miserably. As soon as the laugh broke from my lips, he couldn't help but do it as well. After a much needed time to catch our breath, we got into the car and set out for the diner. We arrived in around 10 minutes and headed inside. The wait to be seated wasn't too long and we both were now looking over our menu's.
(I'm not sure why diners have been in so many of my recent chapters but I'll try to be more original in the next one ^^)
The waiter came back in a decent amount of time to take our orders. Will went first and to no surprise, he got a coffee with sunny side up eggs and a side of toast. I got a coffee with bacon and pancakes because yes. The waiter took our menus and left us to go to another table. In a short while our coffees and cream and sugar were placed in front of us as we waited for our food to come. I looked up to see Will savoring the coffee like it'd be his last and couldn't hold back a grin. Once our food arrived we started to catch up on everything as we ate. Even after we finished, we continued to talk and enjoy the local atmosphere of the diner.

//William's POV//
After we left, we decided to walk around the plaza and ended up shopping here and there. It was a pretty exhausting trip for so early in the morning, so we chose to head back and now we're standing in front of the door while Henry unlocks it. I take off my shoes and leave them by the door and Henry does the same. He jumped onto the sofa, turning on the TV and I sat down next to him, spacing out. "What would you like to watch Willy?" He said, bringing me back to reality. I thought about it, processing his words for a second then settled on an answer. "How about As Above So Beneath ..?" I asked innocently, full well knowing that Henry hated horror movies.
"Sure thing!" He said with a smile and started to look for the movie, which made me assume he had never seen it before. I smiled back at him and waited for the film to play. Henry turned off the lights so the screen was the only brightness in the room and sat back next to me. I started to get a bit cold and Henry seemed to take notice. He grabbed a blanket from the end of the couch and pulled it over us, while simultaneously putting his arm around me. Smooth.. I thought to myself in a sarcastic tone. As the movie progressed, Henry moved closer to me and held me tighter. He looked so engrossed in the film yet absolutely terrified at the same time, it was great.
Everytime he jumped from a scene in the movie, he clung to me, snuggling closer and I'm not going to lie, it was really cute. After this movie was finished we decided on watching another. A system was settled on that Henry would choose one and then I would get to afterwards. We ended up sat on the sofa, watching films for the rest of the day. Enjoying each other's company and for once not worrying about a single thing.
