<div align=center>William felt like all the breath had been knocked out of him all of a sudden, and he was so terribly surprised that he had absolutely no idea what to say. He hadn't really been expecting that, Gabriel had come across as so arrogant and so obnoxious to him at the start of all this, and now he was practically giving himself to him. The poor boy sounded so nervous that William feared he might cry. He didn't say anything, he merely pulled Gabriel close and held him there, he had no clue what to answer with, he thought perhaps maybe that was what he was feeling, but how could be feel something when he didn't even understand it?

Bill couldn't bring himself to say it back, there was no point saying something to Gabe that wasn't necessarily true, William had to figure some things out before he ever said it back, or if he ever said it back, it wasn't all that clear to him right now. "It's not silly." He murmured softly, stroking the top of Gabriel's head very softly. He didn't think it was silly, anyhow, he couldn't see how there was anything silly about that. "You are sweet." Was all he could say, "you are very sweet."</div>

Gabe looked up at William curiously, he hadn't known how the boy would react. Right now it seemed like their usual positions had been reversed, usually Gabe was the one holding Bill close and now it was vice versa.
"Might be a little silly," Gabe mumbled, " 'cause what if it mucks up everything." He frowned. Bill hadn't said it back, not that Gabe had expected him to right yet, but what if Bill felt pressured to say it back over the next few weeks.

Then William'd be saying words he didn't mean, or worse, he'd break up with Gabe as he'd find the pressure to be too much.
Gabe let out a little sigh. "Sorry if you thought that was too sudden, it's been on my mind a lot lately and I couldn't help but spit it out."

"Thank you," Gabe blushed, this time not feeling up to denying it. He had embarrassed himself enough for one day without acting the maggot on top of it.

<div align=center>William smiled softly, and pressed a short kiss to the top of Gabriel's head. "It's okay." He murmured, Gabe hadn't done anything wrong, William just thought he was being sweet. He couldn't understand really why anyone would end up falling in love with him, he was a strange boy and he was used to being harassed most of the time. He wasn't ready to say it back just yet, but that was okay, it didn't happen that fast, not for someone as timid and as shy as poor William. He sighed contentedly, the hallways were still cold, though Gabe's warmth was making up for that.

It was a little sudden, but William didn't really mind too much. He was actually taking this a lot better than he thought he was going to, he was being incredibly calm for William, and instead of freaking out he was merely petting Gabe softly and cuddling him. He felt a nice little fuzzy feeling in his chest, and he didn't know what that was, but he supposed he was pleased about it. And maybe, just maybe it was hinting that he felt the same way about Gabriel as Gabriel felt about him. He didn't know, but he would have liked to.</div>

"That's okay then." Gabe smiled softly. Once William wasn't annoyed or embarrassed too much by it for any reason then Gabe was satisfied. Gabe moved his head a little so that it was under William's chin. Unfortunately Gabe was just that bit taller than Bill and so it didn't really work as well as the other way round. Still, it wasn't perfect, but it felt exactly right for Gabe. Little imperfections had their charms.

"Mmmf," Gabe purred, "I'm glad I got that off my chest. I think anyways, hmm," he debated it with himself. "You took it well regardless so I can't have all that many regrets."

<div align=center>William was contented to sit there for a little while, enjoying Gabe being there and enjoying the situation. He felt safe with Gabriel and it was nice. Though his bottom was starting to ache and he would have liked to sit somewhere soft. He was putting off studying for this, but this was much nicer than studying, he couldn't really be bothered to study, it didn't sound very appealing to him at the moment. William felt very lazy for once, he just wanted to sit with Gabriel for a while, he didn't even mind if they talked or not, he just wanted to be with him.

"You are a good person," he mumbled softly, sighing lightly, and stifling a yawn with his left hand. He was feeling sleepier with every passing moment, though he was refusing to fall asleep, there was no way in hell he'd fall asleep. Not right now, that'd be incredibly rude seeing as what Gabe had just said to him. He was mulling things over in his head, and it was making it hurt. He thought he understood everything now, but just to make sure he asked Gabe, he asked him just in case, he asked him because he wanted to understand completely.</div>

"Do you wanna talk about anything in particular?" Gabe asked, glancing up at Bill. " 'Cause I've been doing a whole load of talking and you've, well, not said very much." He stuck out his tongue. That was often the way it was though, it was how they were.

Gabe tilted his head. He didn't know exactly what he had done to receive such a compliment, you are a good person . He didn't think he was all that good of a person, granted he wasn't a bad person but at the same time he was not especially good . He looked at William for confirmation.

Gabe scratched his head,
"I dunno Bill it's not really that easy to explain," he sighed. "It's just, when it happens you know it has, you just know . That that person is important to you and if they were to walk out of you life right now, it'd make a huge difference. [/i]

<div align=center>William didn't like to talk, that wasn't how it went. Gabe talked all the time, Bill just tended to listen and nod along, regardless of whether he knew what Gabriel was talking about or not. He liked listening to Gabe talk, it was nice to know that it wasn't himself rambling for once, William was all too conscious of that, he hated boring people. William could never be bored by Gabe, though, he always had something to talk about and Bill was in awe of that, he never had anything to talk about, he was boring. The boy shrugged, he didn't know exactly what he wanted to talk about.

The look on William's face said he wasn't satisfied with that answer, no one could explain it, and he didn't understand why. But he supposed it was deeper than that, he supposed he went beyond stupid little feelings and stupid little explanations. He supposed as well, that Gabriel was right, and you couldn't force it, you never knew when it was going to happen, and it just did. He wondered if Gabriel had ever felt this before, or was it just now? "How do you know?" He asked, brow furrowing, "you just told me you loved me, but how can you if you have no idea what love is?"</div>

"You know, I often wonder if I bore you half to death with the way I gibber on," Gabe laughed, " honestly say 'Gabe shut up' when you get bored because I know I talk too much for my own good." Gabe secretly loved the fact that William was willing to listen to him talk about everything and anything for hours on end. It made him feel appreciated.

Gabe looked a little baffled by the question. How do I know?, he wondered. "I honestly can't explain it," Gabe shook his head, "there's no simple answer to what love is or how you know when you're in love. You just know ." He tapped his fingers against his knee, trying to figure out a way to explain it better.

"See that's the thing, I do have an idea of what love is. And I know that I love you. But to put it into words is...almost undervalues the worth of the feeling?" He sighed, "it's a really strong feeling, and it's positive, and it's rare. You don't feel that way towards everyone, you can like a lot of people easily, but when it goes way beyond what you feel for anyone else, then I think it's love. It's a lil different for everyone though."

Gabe moved restlessly where he was sitting. "I can't explain it to you properly but I can show you over time." He pressed a little quick kiss to Bill's lips. "Trust me on this one, Beckett, I do love you."
