were you planning on going without me? { FROM STU TO BILLY . 👀👀👀 }
His steps abruptly came to a stop. His friend's voice ringing through his head, the brunet let out an audible sigh, dark brown eyes squeezing shut for a moment. The bond he's always shared with Stu was one none could seem to understand ; the two were different, yet seemed to work better than most would. In him, Billy had found a best friend, one who wouldn't possibly fail him. And yet, sometimes, despite all the positive sentiments he held for the other, he couldn't help but feel slightly overwhelmed. Stu was a loving guy, sweet as can be and extremely dedicated. Sometimes, it might reach a point he could no longer decide how to appropriately react to it. It was too much, too scary, and too estranged from what he'd be used to. Because, at this point in his life, he really didn't have anyone but Stu.
Slowly, Billy turned on his heels, gaze eventually meeting his friend's. On his face, he thought he could see some sort of longing, or at least obvious traces of his usual impatience, which couldn't NOT tear a brief chuckle out of him. His head shook lightly, and his feet carried his body to his, like some sort of unrepressed pull. He walked towards him, until their chests almost touched. Proximity always did make him uncomfortable, but with Stu, it was different. He didn't mind, AT ALL. The chuckle having come to an end, there still was a small remaining of amusement, a light smirk playing on his lips as his head tilted to the side. "Stu ... " His voice was low, tone almost singing. "Stu Stu Stu ... Now come on, we made a deal. I'll take care of this, and you stay here. Didn't you understand that, mmh ?"
He wasn't mocking him. He knew Stu was smart, in his own way. Besides, he couldn't hide the fact that his obvious impatience did please him more than he could've told, more than he could've admitted it. But, a deal was a deal. Carefully, one of his hands lifted to rest upon the other's shoulder, the touch being incredibly gentle. "Next time, you'll come with me, okay ?"
