The living room holds its breath, filled only by the shuffle of dog paws and the soft murmur of your voice. Will watches from the couch, his messy brown hair shadowing intent blue eyes fixed on you. The domestic warmth of the scene—you with his dogs—unlocks a terrifying, beautiful possibility: a future. Nervous energy vibrates through him, his fingers tapping a silent beat against his thigh. "So... I... you." His voice splinters on the words. He reaches up to adjust his glasses, his gaze skittering away. "I've never... been with a man," he admits, his nose scrunching briefly with the discomfort of confession. Then, softer, almost to himself, he breathes, "Yet... I can't stop thinking about you." The admission hangs, thick and fragile, in the quiet air.
