George: you ain't falling for his tricks anymore.
(Both of them laughed)
William: you're more serious about it than me.
George: i have to be. We are talking about your ex. I like you. What if he steals you away? Even if you don't want to.
(William got silent. Both of them still hugging each other)
George: do you know that this morning, when you thought that i was sleeping, i was actually awake. You smiled at me and poked my cheek. Then you went back to sleep. I opened my eyes and said something, but then your mom came down. She also knows that i like you. Was i that obvious?
(William laughed. He tightened the hug)
William: you never hid it. You gave off that "i onyl love William and live for him" energy.
George: it's my first time falling in love, gotta give all that i got.
(William sighed)
William: don't give too much. What if i'm not able to give back?
George: i didn't love to get something in return. If i wanted something, i would have stopped running after you.
(William was silent. George looked at him.
They kept looking at each other for a few minutes and then slowly leaned into a kiss. Their lips moved against each other's in a slow rhythm. They pulled back and looked into each other's eyes. William looked down. George smiled. Then William looked at him)
William: i love you too.
(George got shocked. To confirm what he heard was right, he asked again)
George: w- what did you say?
William: i said i love you too. I realised it many times but i just kept ignoring it because of the fear my past gave me. I'm very thankful of you because you've been very patient with me. You've changed yourself and i'm very proud of you and i don't want you to leave me because with you i realised that no one is same. Many people can change too. Everyone makes mistakes. But we can correct them. I love you very much.
(George was in pure shock. Too happy to utter a single word from his mouth. William smiled and leaned in again to kiss him.
George came out of his thoughts and kissed him back. This time it wasn't a slow, soft kiss. It was a bit rough. George bit William's lower lip causing him to let out a small whimper. His hands slid up to George's shoulders and George held his waist. George's hand slipped under William's shirt to which he pulled back immediately.
He looked away, both of them breathing heavily. George remembered what happened in the morning and internally slapped himself for being so forgetful)
William: i- i'm so-
(William was about to complete his sentence but George didn't let him and hugged him)
George: don't be sorry. It's not your fault. I- I just-
(William broke the hug and put his finger on his lips, preventing him from saying anything)
William: it's not your fault. I'm- let's cuddle and sleep. Shall we?
George: hmm sure.
(They laid down and hugged each other. Slowly, they drifted to sleep)
Next day
(It was 7 in the morning. George woke up and looked at his side, only to see William sleeping while his leg was resting on George. George smiled when he remembered what happened last night and started to scream internally because he was way too happy and he also didn't want to wake William up. But he did move a little. William woke up, slightly opening his eyes. He saw George who was already awake, looking at him. William smiled and was about to pull his leg back to do a morning stretch but George didn't let him. William got confused)
William: what's wrong?
George: it looks cute here.
(William sighed as he was done with him. George smiled like an idiot. William pulled his leg back and sat up straight. He stretched his arms and legs. Just as he was about to get up from the bed George pulled him back)
William: what happened?
George: you forgot something.
(William got confused thinking about what he might have forgotten. George pointed at his lips to which William let out a small laugh)
William: you silly~
(Then he leaned in and gave him a small kiss on his lips. Then George pointed at his cheeks, William kissed his cheeks too. Before George could point at his nose and forehead, William kissed them too)
William: now i'm gonna get ready. But i won't give you my clothes this time.
George: yeah your clothes are too little for me. You're just way too short.
(William glared at him)
