"That is adorable." Claire smiled at him. She was now a bit happier, knowing that things you be okay. "I am happy for you two!" She playfully hit his arm and laughed. She wanted her first kiss to be unexpected and, different, and Claire told him that. "I also want it to mean something though, that I would know that I wouldn't lose them. That they were okay with it, or that they wanted it but they didn't know when or how to do it." She sighed at the thought of having someone. "I am really happy for you."
My checklist [END]

<div align=center>William shrugged, he didn't understand why people told each other they were happy for someone else, he supposed that it was just common courtesy. "I love him." He mumbled, quietly, though, as if he was embarrassed to admit that. Gabe was always concerned that Bill was ashamed to be with him, since he didn't like public affection all that much, but it wasn't the case, he was just... Shy. William had always been a shy boy, regardless of situation. He was still a little coy around Gabe, even when they were completely alone he got embarrassed. It was something that bothered him a lot, he wished he was a little less frigid.
"It's nice when it means something, it feels different, it feels like there is a spark." He frowned at the way his words sounded, but it was true. The boy went quiet after that, he didn't really know what else to say, he would have liked to go and see Gabe right about now, they hadn't arranged anything, but it was nice to spring up on him every now and again. It was beginning to get cold up here, the wind had picked up and it was making him feel cold.</div>

Claire thought that this was all so touching, so romantic. She smiled at him, knowing that he truly did seem happy, that she knew that he really did love him. "That is good to hear. Love is a strong word, and I am happy that for you, those words weren't wasted." What could she do now? She didn't know of any way to cheer him up, or to change the topic. He was talking to her about something real, and deep, the stuff she really had no knowledge of.
She was so rapped up in the moment that she didn't feel how warm she felt, she felt better, happier inside, as if what he had told her was helping her be better. "Thanks William, for telling me all of that." She snizzed and laughed a bit. For some reason, this was the happiest she had been in a long time, she was a bit better now. "He sounds sweet, you guys sound sweet."

"He sounds sweet, you guys sound sweet."
<div align=center>The boy shrugged, he supposed Gabe could be called sweet. Maybe not to most, at first Gabriel came across as an arrogant, obnoxious idiot who you'd sooner choke than kiss. He was nasty when he wanted to be, William had seen the way he talked to those he perhaps didn't appreciate as much, and frankly it was almost malicious. Bill thought he would probably end up crying if Gabriel ever spoke to him like that, though thinking about it, he liked that he was disgusting to other people, he liked that every other word that left his mouth was an insult. It just meant that well, it meant that Gabriel generally did appreciate him, and that made William smile. "Love is a strong word." He echoed, he still couldn't explain what it meant, he still couldn't explain what it felt like. He supposed love was wanting to be close to a person all of the time, he supposed it was wanting to make them happy even though others thought they didn't really deserve it, he supposed it was going back to them again and again no matter how much they upset you and no matter how much they made you angry.
William sighed, he just wanted Gabe, he just wanted to curl up next to him and go to sleep for a few hours. Sleep was the most comforting thing in the world, you didn't feel anything when you were sleep and William loved it. "He is sweet." William stated, nodding a little, "he makes me laugh." His voice was absent as if he were thinking about something else. Bill smiled, it was a genuine smile, a sweet smile. He shook his head just a little, he didn't really know how they'd ended up together, they were completely different, Gabe was like the pacific ocean and William was like the Sahara desert, but it was okay, it worked.</div>

Claire paused for a moment, unsure of what to say to that. She opened her mouth, then closed it, forgetting what she wanted tot say. "She though for a moment, then smiled at him. "That is cute, it really is." She drifted off into thought. She really wanted someone like that, someone that made her feel safe, happy. She sighed quietly and looked out at the sky, then closed her eyes. 'Just sleep Claire, forget about everything, it is nice up here.' She was telling herself, but she was with someone.
That would be rude and weird if she just fell asleep. She shook her head to wake herself up, then looked back at William. "You probably want to be with him right now, right? I mean..." She laughed. "Of course you would want to be with him. Someone that makes you feel safe, happy and loved, of course you would want to be with them." She smiled a bit, then realized that what she just said could make him go, and she didn't want that. She liked him, as a friend, because he was open , nice, funny, and well, talked to her.
She just stared at him, thinking about what to say. "You know, you are pretty cool." She grinned at him. "You are one of the first people to ever make me laugh, or actually be happy, so thank you for that." She hoped that what she said didn't make him want to leave. He was so nice to her, and she liked that. She though that for once, she would make a friend, even if he was a lot older, and different, who cared?

<div align=center>The boy shrugged, he supposed he did. He'd crept away this morning while the other boy had still been asleep, he sleeps so late. What was I meant to do? He hoped he hadn't missed any classes, not that Gabriel ever learned anything in them anyway,
'you failed again? Why?'
'I don't know anything about science!'
'You've been taking that class since you've been in high school.'
'What? You think I've been listening?'
William really thought Gabe ought to start listening in class if he ever wanted to go anywhere in life, he was smart but he seldom used that to his advantage. He was too busy goofing off all the time and trying to impress Bill with stupid things that he pretended to care about. It was cute though, at least he made an effort.
"He's probably sleeping, what's the time?" Bill asked, he supposed he could scrabble on the door until he woke up, or go and find Micheal. You are pretty cool. Bill laughed, that was something he'd never heard before, even Gabriel didn't call him that, and Gabe called him an awful lot of things. "Are you sure that's the right word?" There was a skeptic tone in his voice, "I wouldn't have picked that word."</div>

She was certain, he was cool. She thought for a moment, she had no idea what time it was, so she couldn't tell him. She shook her head, then looked around. "I don't know what time it is, the sun is still up though." She laughed a bit. "Napping huh? You probably want to be with him." She muttered at the sky. "Of course i meant what i said." She paused. "You are super nice and caring, you are one of the nicest people I have met, or wanted to get to know."
<div align=center>"He didn't really sleep," the boy answered, of course Gabe had been kept awake, what else would have happened? "He's probably tired." William liked to sleep, he wished he had the ability to sleep as long as Gabe did, he had to have periods of activity between naps. Not that he liked to, he'd sleep all day if he could. The boy frowned, "I fear you wouldn't like him as much as I do if you met him..." Gabriel was prickly and rude, he was so attractive though that it was easily looked past, William frequently scolded him for his rudeness, to other people of course, there was no way Gabe would ever say anything nasty to him, not on purpose at least.
"He isn't very friendly." He had no idea how they even ended up together, Gabe had been nice enough to carry him back to his dorm the first time they'd met, trust me to fall asleep on him. He frowned a little, and whimpered. "I want him." He shifted where he was sitting just a little, "he can't look after himself without me." That had been a lie, it was completely the other way round, William was like a child, he needed caring for.</div>

Claire thought for a moment, she wouldn't like him? That was an odd thing to say. She didn't even really like people in general, so why was she making an acception for the people she had gotten to know? She shook her head a bit, and cleaned off a bit of dirt from her boot. "You should be with him then, or wait for him, if he means that much to you." She had no idea why she was saying that, as if she wanted him to leave, but she didn't. Remembering her list, she thought about the things written on that special piece of paper. That list wasn't everything, just a bunch of ideas she had in her mind that she wanted to accomplish.
"I am okay with unfriendly people, because I don't really like people anyways." She smiled a bit, knowing that it didn't help the situation. "I know what you mean though, they two are probably really close and are defensive if anyone hurt the other. "I was kind of like that, but in a different way." She smiled a bit at the statement that William had said about his boyfriend, not being able to take care of himself. "I think he should be able to. He has you if he ever needs anything. It is kind of like you guys had each other, right? Rely and support the other."

<div align=center>William looked confused, if she didn't like people then why would she be okay with those that were unfriendly? Surely if she didn't like people then she wouldn't want to be near anyone, William didn't really like being around people himself, but that was only due to his coyness, he struggled to keep conversation up and he felt himself being unconsciously judged by others. He even felt that around Gabriel from time to time, though only in certain situations, certain situations made him so nervous that he felt sick. Gabriel was an idiot, he had been an idiot since the day they had met and it hadn't changed one bit. He didn't mind much, though, it could be either seen as a quirk or flaw depending on the complex, he thought it was funny.
The boy yawned, he was sleepy and cold. He would have liked a mug of tea, or perhaps cocoa, something to warm him up. There was a bath in Gabe's dorm, that was something else that was extremely tempting for Bill at the moment, he shivered a little, hunching his shoulders and pulling his knees into his chest. "It's more of a... I'll starve to death without him and he will probably do the same without me."</div>
