For Those Of You Wondering

This is Will:

David knew he should be happy and join in the cheering, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that was building in the pit of his stomach. He stared at the water for a long time, silently debating whether or not it would be better for him to just throw himself off the edge so he wouldn’t have to endure this. Ultimately, he decided that it wouldn’t be a pleasant way to die. Instead, he snuck a glance at Tessa and, seeing her occupied, slipped away from the rail. He immediately collided with something warm and soft.

“Sorry,” he grunted.

“It’s all right,” a soft voice said in his ear.

David raised his eyes to look at the person he had run into and was met by a pair of blue grey eyes framed by extremely long eyelashes. He sucked in his breath; he had never seen such beautiful eyes before. They reminded him of the sea. They belonged to a boy David’s age. His facial features were thin and angular and very delicate, and yet there was something sensual about him. His dark hair was braided behind his head in a single plait that fell down his back to between his shoulder blades. David’s eyes traveled down the boy’s thin frame and he gaped at the boy’s outfit; a thin white tank top that showed off his navel, a pair of low-cut extremely tight jeans, and earrings in his left ear from the base all the way to the tip. He never dreamed of dressing like that; his parents would not approve.

“Hey,” the boy said, flashing David a smile that was all teeth.

“H…hi,” David stammered.

“Aw, don’t be nervous. I don’t bite.” He gave David a wicked smile. “Unless you want me to.”

The only thing David could do in response was blush.

“David!” Tessa’s voice trilled in his ear as she suddenly appeared at his elbow. “There you are. I thought you had run off on me or something.”

Ha, I wish, David thought.

“No, I’m right here,” he said, forcing a smile.

“We’re going to explore the ship. Would you like to come?” Tessa said.

“I’d love to,” David said. “I’ll catch up with you in a minute, okay?”

“Okay!” Tessa said brightly. “We’ll be in the Starlight Lounge.”

David watched her bound off into the crowd and then pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to ward off the headache throbbing between his temples.

“So, your name is David, eh?” a voice murmured in his ear, causing him to jump.

His heart raced as he turned towards the boy again; he had completely forgotten he was here. They stood only inches apart and the boy’s breath was warm on David’s neck as the boy continued, “Nice to meet you. I’m Will.” He jumped again as Will’s soft lips brushed his lips for a light kiss. “See you around.”

Will gave him another wicked smile and sauntered off, leaving David feeling very bewildered with his hand on his cheek where Will kissed him.
