Price of Fame

[ROUX]

She giggled, taking a nacho and smothering it in cheese. "A word of advice, when Germany plays America tomorrow - don't be in the room," she joked, before biting down on the gooey chip.


---9:30---


Will had curled up in a blanket on the couch, watching Step Up for the 38th time, mainly so he'd have an excuse to stay downstairs. He had left Dav in his room after dinner, giving the other man his space, still feeling like dirt from the day's earlier confession. You could practically feel the tension between them at the moment, and he wanted to be as far away as possible so as to not piss Davin off further.


He sighed, stretching his legs out and propping up a pillow behind his head, knowing this was probably going to be his bed for a couple days...


"Boo!" A small life form jumped over the couch and onto Will's head, causing him to drop the remote in surprise. He lifted his cousin up in the air above his head, causing the boy laugh in delight. "Trying to ambush me Sean?" He asked, wagging his finger. "You're going to wake everyone up..."


Sean nodded, looking very proud of himself. "I only wanted to wake YOU up. And it worked," he pointed out, and Will put him down gently.


"You're supposed to be asleep..." Will started, but thought better of it when his cousin's shoulders drooped at his words. "...but if you're quiet, you can watch movies with me."


The young boy's face lit back up at the prospect, and he jumped back on top of Will, stealing some of the covers and putting his face on top of the man's head. For once, Will didn't complain about his hair being touched as he handed up the remote, letting Sean pick the movie.


"Where's Davy?" He asked, taking the remote from Will and flipping through the options. "I liked his voice."


Will winced as the boy accidentally tugged on a strand of his dark hair too hard. "Ah...Davy isn't very happy with me at the moment," he answered with a frown.


"Why?"


Will glanced upwards at the question. "I sort of lied," he answered, and Sean gaped at him. "My mom said lying is bad. Are you grounded then?" He asked seriously, and The man stifled a laugh at the question. He only wished he was grounded...not being shunned or looked at with disgust all the time.


"Sadly no. But it's alright, because I still have you!" he said, reaching up and tickling Sean in the side.

Davin tiptoed down the immensely large staircase, trying ard not to wake anyone up. In a borrowed tank top and pj bottoms, he made his way to the living room, which is where he expected Will to be. Seeing Step Up on the television, he smiled out of habit--then frowned, remembering why he was ticked off in the first place. "Willie? Are you awake?" he whispered, approaching the couch like a thief would approach jewels.

 

[ROUX]

Will tried to look up and behind the couch, but then remembered he had a kid on his head. "Down here," he said, his words muffled by the pillows a bit. Sean smiled sleepily, waving at Davin as he approached. "Hi Davy."

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"Hey kiddo!" Davin whispered, opening his arms for a hug. Sean had to be 10x cuter than he sounded, glued to Will's face. "Give me a hug buddy!" He said, holding his arms out.

 

[ROUX]

"Nu - Uh, not 'till you un ground Will," he said, sticking his tongue out at the German, and invoking a strangled noise from his older cousin.


"I never said that," he mumbled, eyes glued to the screen as his cheeks reddened at Sean's comment. "Why are you here Dav?"

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"I was lonely." Davin said, letting the sound of his voice say everything it needed to. "Can....we sit together?" He asked. He missed both Will amd Channing Tatum--usually, they'd be huddled up with that movie and cake.

 

[ROUX]

Will nodded slowly, moving his legs and hugging his knees to his chest, making room for Davin.


When Sean actually did fall asleep, he got up during a break to return him to the guest room, tucking him in under the covers. He lingered in the doorway, unsure if he should go back to the living room now that there was no buffer between his and Davin's awkwardness, but returned eventually.


"Back," he said, stating the obvious for no reason before sitting on the opposite end of the couch, pulling the blanket back over his legs.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

Davin watched as Will sat down, then scooted close to him. "So...talk to me?" He asked, a little worried with his quiet behavior. "I...just think you were a little selfish. More than I knew....and...I want to be sure you aren't as selfish. I need to know you'll commit to us."

 

[ROUX]

Will nodded guiltily, finally looking the other man in the eye. "I am sorry. And I'm not that selfish...or cruel...now. And Dav..." He reached out, softly placing his palm on Davin's cheek. "I love you, just too much to do that to you. I don't think...that I could ever live without you."

 

[WrittenHollowness]

'Then put a ring on it.' Davin snickered to himself. "You can make it up to me by getting icwcream and snuggles." Davin laughed, nuzzling Will's neck.

 

[ROUX]

Will suddenly grabbed Davin and kissed him, a crazy-yet-brilliant idea coming into his mind as he did so. As he moved his mouth on Dav's, he made his decision, vowing that nothing was going to stop him from executing this plan. And hopefully - hopefully - he wouldn't get rejected. He pulled back, grinning like an idiot at his own mind.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

Davin was dazed by the onslaught of of Will's kiss. He didn't complain though. He pulled him closer and deeper, glad they were at least getting past the situation.

"Will, wake up." It was 6 am, and Davin wouldn't have been up so early had it not have been for tthe maid asking if he wanted eggs and a clean pair of underwear. "Will," he whispered again, shaking the man briskly, "We should really get to your room now."

 

[ROUX]

"What? Whyyyy..." He mumbled sleepily. The ONE time he was content with sleeping in...


He sat up, leaning on Davin as he rubbed his eyes.


"Since when do you get up early?" He wondered out loud, yawning widely. Will reached up to his head - his hair was a damn mess of course between the fluffy pillows and Sean.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"When we are naked nd asked about breakfast." Davin snipped back, pulling the comfortor over his body. The young hispanic woman giggled at their awkward position. "Can you get up NOW?" he asked, burying his head under the covers.

 

[ROUX]

Will snorted at his lover's words. "This coming from the same man who wanders around in his tighty whities on a daily basis?" He said, shaking his head. He froze suddenly, feeling a bit mischievous, as he ripped the blankets away quickly, wrapped them around himself, and took off laughing without a second glance, effectively leaving Dav on his birthday suit with a ways to cover before he'd get to the stairs.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"William!" Davin called out, running after him. He turned the corner, naked save for his socks. The floor, having been freshly waxed was a little too slick. Davin slid...right into Will' s mom.

 

[ROUX]

"Good God-" she shut her eyes and tried to move out of the way as Dav came hurtling toward her, but wasn't fast enough. He knocked her off her feet, causing her to drop the file shed been carrying and it too slid across the floor.


Will poked his head over the banister, hearing the slam. "Uh. Dav? Everything OK?" He asked, not seeing the man come up.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"How could this possibly be okay?!" Davin asked, groaning from hitting the cold marble floor. "Your mom just saw my sexy bits!"


He tried to cover the majority of his nether reigons, still shocked by the fact that he'd practically mauled Mrs. Sanderson. "Will...help. I've fallen and I can't get up."

 

[ROUX]

Will came back down the stairs, and erupted into peals of uncontrolled laughter as he surveyed the scene before him. He whipped out his phone, deciding this was too hilarious of a moment not to record, and snapped a few pictures of his red faced mother scrambling away from his naked, flustered boyfriend.


"Oh my god," he laughed, walking over to Dav and pulling him up. "How did that even happen? You know, I'm not going to let this one go..." He said, still snickering. "Life alert won't save you from my wrath of puns."

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"You're pushing it." Davin said lowly, hearing the phon snap. He had the feeling that will was on some kind of warranted death path. He was all to glad to grant his wish at the moment.


"Come, help your mom out. Give me back some clothing. And for the sake of you ever seeing me naked in the future again, remove those pictures."


He feigned a calmness when he was actually boiling mad. Mrs. Sanderson had even had a small giggle--which was transfprming into hysteric laughter--at his expense. 'I'm gonna kill him.' Davin thought, imagining way he could tourture him as much as he'd be tourtured now.

 

[ROUX]

"Ooooohhhhh. You mad bro?" Will smirked instinctively at his boyfriend, not at all intending to erase the pictures. They just might join his wall...


He helped his mother up, then gave her the file that had slipped out of her hand. He frowned as his eyes caught tie title of one of the papers.


"Virginia?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. His mother sighed sheepishly at her son's expression. "It's only for a month you know, just to get the company going and then we'll be back," she replied.


F****ng business trips...


Will nodded, though his earlier smile faded a bit. As his mom went towards the kitchen, he draped the blanket around both Davin and himself before tugging him up the staircase.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

Davin fumed the entire way to Will's room. Although he was pissed, he knew he had to be tactile with his punishment. He had the whole day planned out now, ready to watch the episodes of Game of Thrones, and then blurt out details at random times. "I love you, asshole." Dav said sweetly

 

[ROUX]

Will glanced at him, wary of Dav's tone of voice. It was the tone of voice that was usually followed by the dreaded yellow crocs, or some other type of horrible punishment. "Uh. Love you too?" He offered back, pushing open the door and shutting it behind them.


"So...want to go for a swim today?" He asked, missing the water. He opened the closet, and nearly tripped over the suitcases that were sitting there. "Hey, your stuff is here by the way."

 

[WrittenHollowness]

"My underwear!" Davin automatically dived into the fray, seeing the kennel for his baby, Fresco. "Hey, little buddy!" He bellowed, letting him out foe a huge hug. He put the cat down, then slid on the pair he knew Will liked, just to mess with the guy.


"Yeah, we can swim...I'm serious about pushing your luck though." Even if he had given in and snuggled with Will--which eventually shifted into other things-- he could hold out...soon...sometime.

 

[ROUX]

"Luck of the Irish," he shot back, eyeing Davin's underwear of choice.


"I get it from my mother's side. But then again, I'm sure your very familiar with my moms side already," he added, turning so Davin wouldn't see him laughing again. Will blinked as the cat jumped on him, and he pet Fresco's head softly.
