Can I interest you in some soft Them in these trying times?

Hello hello! I wrote this for @legolasghosty's birthday (ilyyyy) and thought I'd share it here too hehe.

Willex. Rated G. 1123 words. No warnings, just fluff.

Alex woke because his head slipped from where it was resting against the wall and his torso fell to the side. When he was upright again, disoriented and a little dizzy, he noticed that he was the only one left outside on the porch. He hadn’t even realized he’d fallen asleep. He’d been sitting next to Willie on the bench, leaned his head back against the cabin’s wall and womp, he’d fallen asleep, apparently.

Turning his head to look around, he registered faint laughter from inside the cabin. But it sounded less like it was coming from his friends and more like from the TV.

What time was it? Couldn’t be too late if people were still awake. And they also wouldn’t have left him sleeping outside, someone would’ve come get him when they were all going to bed.

A yawn pushed its way out of his throat and he let it escape. Only when he smacked his lips and moved a hand to scratch his chin, did he notice that his upper body was covered. He’d left his hoodie inside, it had still been pretty warm when they had all sat down outside on the porch after coming back from the restaurant, but he must’ve looked like he was cold when he was sleeping. Willie’s sweater was draped over his chest, the sleeves laid over his shoulders so that it wouldn’t slip right off. The fabric felt almost delicate when Alex shifted underneath it, despite being thick cotton, but maybe that was just because it was Willie’s.

He smiled to himself. He could imagine that small internal struggle Willie must’ve felt upon seeing his boyfriend asleep next to him. Should he wake Alex? He looks cold. Would he want to come inside with us? But he’s sleeping. Alex allowed himself to press his nose into the fabric and take a breath. The scent was a strange mixture of campfire and pine and coconut shampoo that shouldn’t work but just did, because it was Willie’s. Alex loved this smell.

A gust of wind flew over the porch and blew his hair into his eyes. It was fresher than the standing air, predicting the temperatures to drop in the next few days, and told Alex that he should probably go inside. The pressure behind his eyes, his tell-tale sign that he was really tired, increased at the brush of cold, and he shivered.

With a groan, he got up from the bench and walked around the porch table. The trees of the forest swayed in the wind, the moon painted glowing white circles in the soft waves of the lake, and he heard the call of an owl somewhere far away. They’d really picked a great spot for their post-tour vacation. He couldn’t remember ever being somewhere this peaceful, apart from maybe his own home, or back at his grandparents place in Germany. It was a shame, they only had a few days left.

Yawning again, he slipped the sweater over his head. It warmed him immediately and he felt yet another wave of sleepiness wash over him.

Stepping inside the cabin, his suspicions about the TV were confirmed, when he saw the flickering lights around the corner and heard muted, dramatic music. He spotted Luke asleep with his head in Julie’s lap on one of the couches, Reggie leaning against her on her other side, eyes on the TV screen. Bobby was sitting in the armchair, arms crossed in front of his chest, head tilted back, dead-asleep like a dad on a Saturday night. Flynn must be in bed already, because Willie was sitting alone on the other couch, cross-legged, comfortable. But their eyes caught sight of Alex as soon as he stepped into the room.

“Hey, you’re awake,” he called quietly when Alex moved into his direction. His legs unfolded and he lifted an arm so Alex could sit down next to him.

Alex took the hand offered to him as soon as he reached it, then sat on the couch and smoothly slipped into Willie’s side. They let out a surprised laugh when Alex draped an arm across their waist and pushed his face into Willie’s shoulder.

“Hi,” he whispered back.

“We wanted to watch a movie, but I didn’t wanna wake you. You looked so cute, when you were asleep,” Willie explained what Alex had been thinking.

“Thank you,” Alex responded. He lifted his head and nudged his chin forward, glancing at Willie’s lips. Willie got the message and smiled before leaning down and giving Alex a gentle kiss. Alex hummed comfortably, then placed his head back on Willie’s shoulder, closing his eyes.

“Tired?” Willie asked.

Alex nodded.

“You wanna go to bed?”

He shook his head. “Wanna be with you.”

He felt Willie’s breath hitch a little, like it always did when Alex randomly said cute things like that. They brushed their hand over Alex’s arm across their body.

“I wanna stay here a bit longer, is that alright?”

Alex nodded again. “This is perfect.”

He turned his head and pressed a kiss to Willie’s collarbone through the fabric of their shirt. Willie’s hand not on Alex’s arm brushed over the back of his head, lightly scratching his scalp. Alex felt himself melt into Willie at the sensation, slowly breathing out. Now being warm and fully enveloped by Willie, he started feeling drowsy with tiredness.

Willie halted momentarily. “Is everything alright? What’s going on?”

Alex didn’t lift his head, just turned it a little so they’d be better able to hear him. “I’m baby,” he said simply.

Willie breathed out with a laugh that sounded almost delighted. They shifted so they were able to press a lingering kiss to Alex’s forehead. Alex relished it with a smile.

“So baby,” Willie responded. Another kiss, even longer now. “And I love you so much.”

Alex felt soft and warm and glowy all over. He was on vacation, wearing his lover’s sweater, while they held him comfortably and kissed his forehead so gently. He couldn’t imagine anything better than this.

He finally lifted his head again so he was on eye level with Willie. “I love you too.”

Willie lifted the hand off Alex’s arm and curled it around his jaw. He kissed Alex again, so sweetly it made Alex’s head spin in the best way.

“I was hoping you’d put on the sweater,” he whispered against Alex’s lips and it made them both chuckle. “You look amazing in it.”

“It’s very comfortable.”

“I know.” Willie kissed his cheek. “Go to sleep.”

And almost as soon as Alex had placed his head on Willie’s shoulder again, he did.

Hello my love!! How are you?

I saw this comic and immediately had to think of willex.

It would work either way I think, but my first thought was Willie as the green and Alex as the blue fox.

So now I'm unofficially handing this in as a prompt for a drabble, maybe when you need to get your mind off something this can jumpstart your writing cells (and if not, that's totally fine too, but I wanna hear your thoughts!)

Love youuuu!!

Hello my love!!! Sorry on the delay, I was meaning to have this ready to post yesterday! Curse irl people for taking up too much of my time and leaving none for my fiance :( But here we go!!!

Willie opens their eyes slowly. The bedroom is still dark; not even a sliver of sunlight falls from between the curtains. A faint light comes from the digital clock on the far side of the bed. It barely pushes back the shadows that cocoon them and fill the room.

Willie's first thought is that they must be in his room, since his bedroom window faces almost due west and doesn't get any sun till later in the day. But the sheets on the bed are pale and devoid of patterns. There's no dragon stuffy on the bedside table beside his phone. The shadow cast by the lamp looks like a turtle, not a bat.

Alex's room then. And it's dark. Which probably means...

Willie groans when he picks up his phone and sees the time. Great. His first day to sleep in all week and he's wide awake at 4:30 am. They mutter a curse at the heavens and roll over, leaving the evil phone on the bedside table.

The view on this side is much nicer at least. Instead of a timekeeping soulsucker, now he's staring at his sleeping partner's back. Alex's side rises and falls steadily with his breathing. The duvet, which Willie knows rather than sees is a dark pink, is bunched up around his waist. The shadows of the room caress his bare back like a blanket. Willie resists the urge to trace each line and curve of his spine. He doesn't want to wake him.

How the heck did Willie get lucky enough to score a guy this pretty?

Willie props himself up on one elbow to get a better look at his sleeping partner. Alex's hair has fallen over his face like it always does, the ends fluttering slightly as he exhales. His neck and shoulders are relaxed in that funny way that they never seem to get when he's awake. One arm is folded across his chest while the other stretches out towards the far edge of the bed.

Willie wishes there was enough light for him to examine all the random scars across his lover's body. There's the ones on his hands and wrists from his cats of course, and that one across his palm from when a drumstick broke on him and the idiot was too proud to pause midsong and get a new one. Then there's the one on his left bicep from a bike accident when he was a kid, and the one near his right elbow that even Alex doesn't remember the origins of.

The cluster of them on his knee from a bad fall when he was 12. The one on the back of his heel from wearing those awful sandals for too long on a family hike in high school. The ones on his chest that match Willie's. The one on his ankle from a stray box cutter when they were first moving in together.

So many memories, good and bad, all littered across his skin. Willie forces themselves to keep their hands tucked in close. No matter how badly he wants to curl up with his chest against Alex's back and trace every pale mark with his fingertips, Alex's alarm won't go off for hours. The last thing they want is to ruin his rest.

Willie knows they should probably roll over, drag their eyes off of the beautiful man laying beside them before they do something stupid. But for the life of him, he can't. Sue them, Alex is pretty and looks so soft in the embrace of the early morning shadows. It's all Willie can do to keep from reaching over to brush a strand of hair off his forehead, maybe let their hand trail down his shoulder on the way back.

No, he can't. Alex's sleep is important. No matter how much Willie wants to hold him, he can't wake him up. He can't. No. Nope. No cuddles, no waking up Alex-

"I can feel you vibrating," Alex mumbles, making Willie jump.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you," Willie hums back after a startled moment, their voice coming out gravelly and low.

Alex doesn't open his eyes, but the corner of his mouth quirks up. "Well you did, so we might as well cuddle," he points out, the words slurring together a bit.

Willie chuckles and shifts closer. Alex inches back until his back brushes Willie's chest. It's barely a minute before they're settled, Alex spooned by Willie's body. Alex lets out a contented sigh and nuzzles Willie's arm. Willie echos the sound as they press a light kiss to Alex's shoulder.

"Sleeping now," Alex slurs, his breathing evening out again.

"Sweet dreams," Willie responds. Their own eyelids are getting heavy, their heart rate slowing to match the steady drumming of Alex's against his chest. "Love you."

"Love you too," Alex mumbles as he succumbs to slumber.

Willie leaves another featherlight kiss on his husband's neck as the light fades away behind his eyelids. Gosh he was so in love. They certainly didn't mind waking up in the middle of the night sometimes if it would always end like this.

#Gosh they're so cute #also they're t4t and neurodivergent #they're just lovely together #hehe I did my best to sneak in all the little headcanons #as a treat for my beloved #legolas tag #julie and the phantoms #jatp fanfic #willex #jatp #alex mercer #willie jatp

Hand holding prompts! ❤️ "making the effort to find where their partner is and dragging them by the hand rather than just calling them over to where they wanted them in the first place." and peterpatterlina??

Alex trails behind his bandmates on the boardwalk, stealing glances at his boyfriend. He bites down on a smile as Willie swings their hands, loping along with a skip in his step, and a little girl darts out of their way. His hand is hot in Alex's, and their palms are a little sweaty, but he's not letting go for anything, never again.

His boyfriend.

He's got a living, breathing boyfriend.

He tilts his face toward the sun, basking in its warmth and the breeze, which carries the salt tang of the ocean. It's a beautiful day, and the boardwalk is bustling with people, talking and laughing over the shriek of the birds hopping about. Sugary and savory scents wash over them from various food stands, and Alex just wants to soak in the moment, to really live in it.

Why not when they can do that again?

He can't understate how grateful he is, really. Nor could he understate how much he loves Julie. How could he not?

He's especially grateful for Willie today, though, because he can just enjoy himself without getting caught up in the mess of three-way pining that literally everyone can see now that all of them can touch.

Julie keeps drifting, swaying so close to Luke or Reggie that her curls will brush their cheek. One of them—always Julie or Reggie, never Luke—startles, she scoots away with an awkward giggle, rinse and repeat. Every now and then, Luke leans over Julie to clasp Reggie’s shoulder, pat his back, ruffle his hair, anything to be all over them both. And Reggie…

Reggie keeps fiddling with his rings, with his sleeves, with his bracelets. He wants to touch them but doesn't think he should.

Okay, maybe Alex should do something. He was hoping the lack of a true fourth wheel might encourage one of them to make a move, but that's not happening, and the slight hunch of Reggie’s shoulders means that he's miserable.

Alex catches Willie's eye and nods at their friends. Willie understands instantly, eyes lighting up with mischief and mirth.

He lets go of Alex's hand, pressing a quick kiss to his lips in apology, and dashes ahead to throw his arm around Reggie.

"Hey, man, you love dogs, right? I've gotta show you—"

Willie steers Reggie away from Luke and Julie, who definitely deflate a little as they watch him go. Luke turns back to Alex with an honest-to-god pout.

"What was that about?"

"No idea," Alex lies easily, shrugging. "Willie probably just wants to get to know him a little better. Wants him to feel included, you know? Like we're all friends and Willie's not just my boyfriend."

Julie bites her lip. "But isn't this sort of like, a date for you guys? Don't you mind?"

"Not really? I mean, if I wanted to go on a date where it was just the two of us, I would just, you know. Ask him."

Luke and Julie's eyes flit to one another and then away. He coughs sheepishly.

"Yeah, I mean. That's fair. It's not like you need to do anything—grand. Um—"

Julie interrupts with another one of those stilted giggles. "Hey, they have…a sunglasses stand, let's…you said you needed some of those, right?"

Luke must have actually said something along those lines because he visibly melts.

How are they not seeing this? They practically have I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU tattooed to their foreheads.

Their foreheads which are now pressed together.

Like. Seriously?

Luke murmurs something about how she knows him so well, and she shines, she giggles all bright and bell-like this time, the whole nine yards. Alex has to interrupt because it's basically the worst thing Reggie could possibly come back to.

Thankfully, they're finished at the sunglasses stand by the time he does.

"Guys!"

Reggie flies through the throng of people, brightening as he spots them. His cheeks are flushed with excitement and split with his smile. He barely skids to a stop in front of them, grabbing Luke and Julie's hands.

"Come on, I have to show you—there's this beagle doing tricks on the beach and he's so cute! You've gotta meet him!"

Alex smothers a laugh in the sleeve of his hoodie as Reggie drags them away, oblivious to their stuttering and stumbling.

By the time Alex locates Willie and catches up with them, Luke has managed to find solid ground again by—what else—getting his hands on a guitar.

"Alex!" Luke grins. "Perfect, we were just about to show Julie "'Reggie’s Jam.'"

"We were?" Reggie squeaks.

She turns to him with big, beseeching eyes, laying her hand on his arm.

"Please?"

"You heard her." Luke aims that grin at him. "I've got another one for you, but she deserves to hear you feature, babe."

Luke begins the plucky acoustic part, and Alex brings the beat, smiling softly himself.

"Come on, Reginald."

That snaps him out of the flustered spiral they've sent him into, and he grins, too.

Reggie launches into the song, and his voice soars over their stretch of the beach, turning heads and making people tap their feet. Julie laughs, and Willie whoops, both of them dancing and clapping along.

Reggie takes her by the hand and twirls her around. When she laughs again, he dips her, staring deep into her eyes as he croons the next line.

It shouldn't work with the song, but Reggie was always the heartthrob of the band for a reason. She melts just as easily as Luke had earlier, and when he hoists her upright, she leans in to kiss his cheek.

He only flubs the ending a little.

Then Willie claims he's hungry, and Alex knows it's not even a lie. They're barely acknowledged as Luke gets ready to play what sounds like an acoustic version of "Crooked Teeth," and Alex huffs a laugh while Willie pulls him away.

There's no way Reggie can miss the significance, this time.

Sure enough, he's dragging Luke and Julie around with red-blue-purple slushy mouths when they find them again, and Alex thinks he's allowed to laugh because they're so, so obvious and so, so bright, and he's happy for them. He really, truly is.

Honestly, it's the best 'sort of a double date' that he's ever been on…

So far.

a jatp episode that's just compilation of scenes of the first season, except all the dynamics are swapped up.

sunset curve was actually double trouble, formed by Julie, Flynn, Willie and Carrie. They die in 1995 before they can play the Orpheum.

Luke and Reggie are friends in the future and find out abt Sunset Curve together.

Carrie is Bobby's mom. Bobby used to be friends w Luke and Reggie but they split up.

Emily died just a year before and she also didn't approved Luke's pursue in music, that's why he can't play, but he's also failing his classes bc he can't bring his focus to that.

Rose is alive and old, and her and Ray aren't living on that same house anymore, but their son Carlos, still lives there and rents the studio for Luke and Reggie (and Bobby when they were friends)

Willie is a drummer and gets run over by a cute blond skater who also has anxiety, after finding out they can be seen when playing with Luke.

Julie finds out Carrie stole her songs and made a career out of that, but changed her style and name, presenting as Dirty Candi. and her son, Bobby, is following on her footsteps, but back in a rocker way, as Trevor Wilson.

When they seek revenge, Willie gets help from his new friend Alex, who takes them to the Hollywood Ghost Club, to meet the ghost who can help them.

The Hollywood Ghost Club is run by Nick.

The episode ends when Reggie wakes up, it was all a really weird dream.

#julie and the phantoms #i havent decided caleb's role in that #Bc i also cant decide if nick gets to be old. Or if its funnier if the HGC is run by a highschooler #willex reversed be actually my beloved

Hello, for the AU thing! What would be your thoughts on a modern celebrity au? Like where they're alive and celebrities (separately or as a group, you choose)? Specifically willex? 👀

- @michelangelinden

I love those so much.

-Okay consider. Sunset Curve is a pretty popular band right? But Reggie is also a Big Name Fanfic Writer in several sci-fi fandoms. He never lets on who he is. His tumblr and AO3 are a closely guarded secret.

-Sure Alex is the drummer of that cool band Sunset Curve, but most of the internet knows him as 'that guy who makes funny tiktok dances and does snarky comebacks to his ridiculous band/housemates'.

-Bobby moderates some vegan forums/groups and when they're touring he tells the guys the latest drama, because secretly he lives for the drama.

-Luke has no social media but he’s famous in certain circles of the internet as some kind of cryptid that shows up at random open mic nights like Sir You Are A Famous Musician, there’s like ten people in this bar and two of them are the bartenders, wtf are you doing.

-Willie is a pro skater and he's very much the anti-Tony Hawk as in everyone recognizes him as OH YEAH THAT'S WILLIE but half his fandom doesn't even know or care that he's a skater, because he's also an artist and an epic meme lord.

-People keep pushing Willie and Alex to do a tiktok collab and when they finally do they 'accidentally' don't stop filming after the dance and just before they start to make out it cuts off.

-They post it and then turn off their phones.

Send me an AU and I will give you 5 or more headcanons about it

#julie and the phantoms #willex #I wrote a thing #not!fic #AUs are awesome #willie the memelord my beloved #my vegan friend is in a shitton of those groups and oh my god you guy s the DRAMA she screenshots #like some people just wanna know if the new vegan dessert at that one supermarket tastes like shit or not Susan #why did you post a 8 paragraph screed about the evils of sugar #there is like a whole reddit or something for Luke Patterson Spotting #people map out the band's touring and then hang out at random open mics just in case #the code is to never tell people WHILE he is there/performing so he doesn't get mobbed #you post that shit the next day like a proper fan

#so then 5easons isn’t ambiguously canon anymore #i wonder if i could write a 4easons (pronounced like four-zənz) or something that fits with this narrative #really s2 would stay mostly the same #s3 too #it’s just the magic system introduced in s3 and the s1 unfinished business crossing over and then the plots of s4 and 5 #maybe… maybe the retcon could stay and maybe even most of s4 could stay #but i’d have to change the boys’ final fate #in 5easons julie *is* essentially the chosen one; maybe her lifer bond with the boys is so strong that they essentially come back #mass and matter would be tough to figure out scientifically but when has the show ever actually cared about that?#maybe if s4 stays the same or mostly the same except for beloved main characters #OH OOH OR if the ghosts are flocking to jatp in s4 for help in crossing over OR coming back #which would mean that caleb and fineas also have that choice? maybe? how that would work for bad people i don’t exactly know like is it #reincarnation where they just come back as they are or is it rebirth? bc we want the first for the phantoms but not for fineas #maybe - maybe ghosts who died before their intended time get a second chance at life in the modern day but ghosts who died when they were #meant to (who probably don’t have any unfinished business to begin with) or ghosts who have broken some afterlife law like fineas has don’t #get that choice and have to just cross over to the next side.#so if s4 stays the same then except that certain people are going to be coming back to physical life again #we could see the main cast be observing this happening with some of the hgc ghosts or whoever else #and all the leveling up from s1 thru 3 stay present for nick and the whole cast who were there for the hgc fight #then i could see either 1) luke and reggie cross back over and willex stay ghosts but don’t cross over or #2) they all four come back and maybe even people like loranne too and jatp the band lives hea going on tour and stuff after graduation #in the first case the whole cast would still be able to see willex (unless- what if luke and reggie cant anymore for added ✨angst✨ jk) and #alex wouldn’t have to be anxious about ghost stuff anymore and he could just be with willie forever bc i think willie prefers being a ghost #at this point. in the second case there wouldn’t be this weird thing where alex is the only phantom who poofs in at the beginning of shows #ok good brainstorming session you guys i think i’ve got canon compliant 5easons figured out now thanks for the help #5easons #tmp writes #this post is about kenny’s juke hea tweet btw #our boy kenny o

Who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Feel free if you want to write the reasons or not of why you love them...Thanks if you want to answer.

Hi! Thank you for this ask, it's always fun to answer😊 So these are my current or most recent favorite ships:

Itafushi (Jujutsu Kaisen)

It's my number 1 right now, like i love them so much! Their ship is really cute and i love the contrast between them and how they work so well together as friends and more! I'm always giggling and shit when i think about them even if they're doomed by the narrative :(

Zolu (One Piece Live Action/Animanga)

I really liked their dynamic after watching the live action so i mainly ship opla! zolu, but any content of this ship is cute and catches my interest! This ship literally made me write fanfics again lol More Zolu please!

Miyusawa/Misawa (Ace of Diamond)

Miyusawa my beloved ❤️ The first time i watched this anime it had been an instant ship, their chemistry is amazing, the pitcher/catcher dynamic is chef's kiss and just the development of their relationship throughout the show was the highlight for me! I watched everything again recently and i still love this ship very much, fave fave fave :')

Shiguang (Link Click)

They are everything honestly! The angst of it all and their beautiful relationship is just aaaah and the show is INCREDIBLE?? Whether it's friendship or more, they love each other so much. In my head they're canon, i mean after what Lu Guang did, for me that's just proof of his love for Cheng Xiaoshi... they make me ill

Renga (Sk8 the Infinity)

Sk8 was the anime of the season when it came out, the serotonin was just high with this one, especially during covid time. Reki and Langa's friendship was the cutest thing to watch and it was so genuine and then ep 7 happened and the ship just sailed really hard for me! So many cute moments while a beautiful relationship blossomed in front of our eyes!! Love!!

Kazurei (Buddy Daddies)

A new favorite from last year! The premise of the show was so engaging to me when it first came out and even though i knew Kazuki and Rei weren't going to be canon, we were still fed so well? Like Queerplatonic, same-sex parentality, friends to lovers trope??? we got everything and more, especially last episode like omg they're canon idc!!

Dreamling (The Sandman)

Fell in love with this ship instantly with just one episode and little content... the fandom got my back though, i was well fed and shipped them even harder thanks to all the fanarts and fanfics! i want season 2 right now and more of them!!

EmiSue (Dickinson TV)

Not my first wlw ship but definitely my favorite! From the first episode i knew they were soulmates and i wanted more of them together! The show gave us everything we wanted and i'm glad i got to witness it :)

Satosugu (Jujutsu Kaisen)

They're not Itafushi but they are Itafushi in some ways?? like parallels we can't ignore. It's a big ship in the fandom but i'm not as invested as many stsg shippers are, though i really like the ship, i read fanfics about them and i love their story in the first part of season 2! So much angst though...

Nobamaki (Jujutsu Kaisen)

I love them together, i think their ship is cute and has a lot of potential! I don't obssess with them enough and i should read more fanfics, but they're amazing so they stay at the top of my list!

Other favorites but not current (or more like 'not in an obsessed phase' type of way): Villaneve, Hannigram, Narlie, Willex, Thominho, Kagehina, Daisuga, Asanoya, Kuroken (I watched Haikyuu again so yeah), Furuharu, Sanarai...

Old ships that i used to love, but not as much now or just not at all: Sterek, Merthur, Sasunaru, Spirk, Cherik, Romione, Drarry, Johnlock, Stony, Spideypool, Zarry, Datesana and others I might be forgetting...

your one shot with willie and the sticky notes was so lovely, one of the first thing popped in my tl :)) especially the part where Willie says it began with Caleb sending him notes.

can i ask for a story of that? Willie and Caleb getting along and Caleb sending him notes inside his lunch to school, fancy handwriting and all? tysm it doesn't have to be short :)

Absolutely you may!!! I have had many thoughts about that since I wrote it! Here's the story being referenced if folks are curious! One note, Willie is in like 7th grade at the time of this story, and it's January. Willie came to live with Caleb in mid-December.

Willie bolted down the stairs, scared out of his mind. He'd overslept, and it was his first day of school since coming to Caleb's house. And while the man had seemed kind and understanding so far, Willie had seen his fair share of nice people who got less nice when they had to deal with Willie's inability to keep track of time.

He slid into the kitchen on his socks and almost ran into the kitchen island. The polished, hardwood floors that covered the downstairs area of Caleb's home were a lot slicker than he was used to. He stumbled and caught himself against a tall stool. At least no one had seen that little-

"Oh good, I was afraid I'd have to leave for work before you got up."

Whoops.

Willie looked up sheepishly to see Caleb leaning against the counter beside the sink, a cup of coffee in his hand and an amused smile pulling at his mouth. "Sorry," he mumbled, standing up straight.

But Caleb only waved a hand, as if to dismiss even the thought of an apology. "Please, I did the same thing when I was your age," he chuckled. "The only reason I stopped was because my hips started protesting at how often I ran into things."

Willie's mouth fell open in surprise for a moment before the voice of one of his old foster moms popped into his head, ordering him to close his mouth before he swallowed a bug. He wondered how long it would be before Caleb stopped dropping random bits of personal history and blowing his mind like that.

"-not an expert, but you did say waffles are your favorite," Caleb said, placing a plate on the counter in front of Willie and startling him from his thoughts. "Syrup?"

"Uh, yeah, thank you," Willie stammered, not sure whether to look at the plate of slightly burnt waffles or at Caleb. He'd overslept and he still got a special breakfast?

"Of course, William," Caleb responded lightly, smiling. "It's your first day at a new school, cereal would be a crime."

Willie opened his mouth to say... something else, though he wasn't sure what, but was cut off by a buzz from Caleb's phone. The man glanced down at the screen and sighed.

"Duty calls," he remarked dryly, slipping the device into the pocket of his slacks and reaching for his jacket. "You have your key still, right?"

Willie nodded around a mouthful of waffle and tugged the silver chain out from under his shirt to show him. Caleb nodded, satisfied.

"Good. Your lunch is in the fridge, and I should be home around the same time as you. Call me if you need anything, alright?"

Willie nodded again, scared to trust the warm feeling in his chest but wanting so badly to let it travel through his entire being. To let it chase away the cold of forgotten birthdays and rushed PB&Js and angry words. Maybe this time would be different.

"Have a good first day," Caleb finished, pausing near the front door to grin back at Willie. "I'm looking forward to hearing all about it when I get home."

"Have a good day at work!" Willie responded, giving the man a thumbs up.

Willie finished his food quickly after Caleb left. He still had to get out in time to catch the bus to his new middle school. Once the dishes were in the sink, he grabbed a sweatshirt to shield him from the January chills and opened the fridge. There, on the middle shelf, was a big lunchbox with his name on the top in big, fancy letters.

He grinned, grabbed the box, and bolted out the door.

--- --- --- --- ---

It wasn't till two weeks later that Caleb wasn't in the kitchen when Willie got up for school. There was a text on his phone when he managed to turn off his alarm, explaining that Caleb had an early meeting and had to be in the office over an hour before he usually did. Willie sent him back a thumbs up and a smiley face, ignoring the voice of his old foster dad in his head, complaining that emojis were tacky and shouldn't be an entire message.

He found his lunch waiting in the fridge and hurried through his breakfast to be on time for the bus. It wasn't until he was entering the library at lunch time that he opened the little green cooler to see what Caleb had packed him. He found a BLT sandwich (with a sparkly gold toothpick stuck through it, cause that was the kind of person Caleb was), carrot sticks, a package each of mini pretzels and corn chips, a bottle of orange juice, and a folded slip of paper.

Willie laid out his paper napkin over the table, just like his third grade librarian had taught him, and unfolded the paper. It was a note, written in Caleb's flowy, steady hand. Willie felt that warm feeling in his chest again. He didn't fight it as hard this time.

But then he tried to read it. And it was clearly English, but all the letters were connected and some of them didn't really look like letters. He could get his name at the top, and words here and there in the middle, but the overall message... Willie had no clue.

He sighed, feeling cold. Did rich people have another lettering system they used or something? One more thing to look up online later, he supposed. Willie set the note aside and started eating. He tried to focus on the nice flavors of the sandwich and the sweet tang of the juice, but the note kept pulling his attention anyways.

"Um, are you okay?"

Willie jumped in his seat, almost dropping his food as he spun to see a blond boy, probably about his own age, standing behind him.

"You've been staring at that paper like it kicked your cat for like ten minutes," the blond boy added, shifting from foot to foot when Willie didn't say anything.

"Oh, yeah, I'm good," Willie said quickly, clapping a hand over Caleb's note. "It's nothing. Who are you?"

He wanted to groan, talk about being the awkward, suspicious foster kid. But there's nothing to be done about it now.

"I'm Alex," the other boy responded, not seeming put off at all by Willie's abruptness. "I think we're in the same English class?"

Willie nodded slowly, now connecting the boy in front of him to the quiet, curious kid who sat a couple of rows over from him. "I'm Willie," he offered, setting down his sandwich to offer a hand to shake like all the adults did.

Alex smiled when he shook his hand and Willie felt warm again. Not quite the same kind of warm, but warm all the same. People hadn't really been mean at this school, but well... there was a reason Willie was eating lunch alone in the library. It was nice to talk to someone who maybe could be a friend.

"Okay can I ask about the paper?" Alex questioned, his eyes straying from Willie's face to where his hand was still covering the note. "You can totally say no, but now I'm hooked and it's driving me crazy."

"I mean you kinda just did," Willie pointed out, surprised by the giggle that bubbled out of his mouth along with the words. "But um, yeah, it's just a note from my foster...dad." It felt funny to call Caleb that. Not bad, just weird. He didn't think he'd called him that out loud before.

"And that's... a bad thing?" Alex said slowly, brows drawing together.

"No, it's cool, it's sweet," Willie insisted. "I just... I can't really..." He bites his lip, not wanting to reveal the truth. But also, he was already weird. And Alex seemed nice. "I can't read it," he admitted quietly.

A short huff of laughter escaped from Alex's lips and Willie felt his face turning red. But then Alex dropped down into the chair beside him.

"You want me to try?" the blond boy offered. "My dad has lousy handwriting too so I'm used to deciphering."

Willie stared at him for a second, trying to comprehend the words he was saying. Was he really trying to help? Just cause? What did he want in return?

"I don't have to," Alex said in a rush when Willie didn't respond. "I just wanted to help but I get it if it's personal and stuff, you just seem really cool and I kinda wanted an excuse to talk to you and it looked like it was really bugging you so-" he said without seeming to breathe before cutting himself off. "Sorry."

"No you're good," Willie responded, feeling a smile forming on his face. "And... yeah, worth a shot." Steadying himself internally, he handed Alex the paper.

Alex returned his grin and took the note. He stared at it for a long moment, then laughed again. Willie hadn't noticed before that he had a really nice laugh.

"It's cursive," Alex said, looking up from the paper. "No wonder you couldn't read it."

Dang, had Willie been right about Rich People Alphabet?! "What's cursive?" he asked, confused.

"It's basically fancy handwriting," Alex explained, leaning his elbows on the table. "Nobody uses it anymore really except random adults. My mom made me and my sisters learn it though."

"Rich people are weird," Willie sighed, chuckling and shaking his head. "So does that mean you can read Caleb's note then?"

"Yeah, his handwriting is a bit slanty, but I think..." Alex mused. "Okay. It says, 'Hello William, I hope your day is going well. Sorry I had to leave so early this morning, I'm going to trust that you still ate breakfast. I can't wait to hear all about your day when you get home. Best wishes, Caleb."

Willie laughed and nodded as Alex read it out slowly. That sounded like Caleb.

"P.S.," Alex continued, holding up a finger before Willie could say anything, "Your horoscope this morning said people will surprise you today. I hope it's a good surprise."

Willie glanced up from the paper to the face of the boy holding it. "I think it's a good surprise," he said slowly.

Alex looked up and his ears turned pink when he caught Willie's gaze. "You should probably have him teach you cursive if he's gonna keep leaving you notes like this," he said quickly, handing the paper back. "I mean I can't always be around to translate. What if I get the flu?"

Willie giggled. "Nope, you're never allowed to get sick anymore," he declared. "I need you to read Caleb's fancy person handwriting for me."

"Wow, I see how it is," Alex remarked dryly, smirking. "I'm nothing but my skills to you."

Willie started to protest, to clarify that he'd been joking, but Alex burst out laughing before he could speak.

"Sorry," Alex said once he got his breath back. "I was just messing with you. I know you didn't mean it like that."

"Whew, I was worried there for a second," Willie admitted. Then, hesitantly, he added, "Friends?"

"Friends," Alex agreed.

Willie grinned, feeling all warm inside again. He couldn't wait to get home and tell Caleb all about how people had surprised him today.
