Your P.O.V.:
You walked as fast as your legs would allow you, frequently turning around to see if Willaim had followed you every few seconds.
After he began acting weirdly at the hospital, you made a quick excuse that you had an errand to take care of, and booked it out of there.
He was beginning to frighten you. Despite what Leo said, you knew that wasn't Black in there.
Even Mary didn't seem to notice, just going about her daily activities as if Black was still his normal self.
She had to notice right? He was conpletely different, from how he spoke to his appearance.
"(Y/n)!" Your breathing hitched at the sound of his voice calling you, as you forced yourself to walk faster.
"(Y/n), wait!!" He caught up to you, his chilled fingers grasping your wrist tightly.
'That's not Willaim. I know its not.' You thought, chills coiling your bones, as you hesitated to turn around, the very sight of his sea toned eyes causing you to yelp a bit.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! But you left this," He explained, handing you your trademark rilakkuma themed wallet.
You paused before taking it, almost yanking it from his touch. "Uh.. t-thanks.." you spat, before stuffing the pouch into your pocket and turning around to walk away. But you were yanked backwards by Black yet again, as his hand was still enclosed around your wrist.
"Wait! You just left so suddenly.. did I do something wrong..?" His voice held the tone of disappointment.
You sighed, pulling your hand out of his hold and tucking a stray strand of your hair behind your ear.
"Listen, if it is something I did, let me make it up to you! C'mon I know you can't say no to food or something." He suggested, attempting to cheer you up.
You could feel his eyes, hiding beneath his glasses burning into the nape of your neck. He pleaded for you to turn around, as if he had no recollection of what had just happened, or even the slightest thought as to why you didn't want to be around him.
If Willaim or whatever this thing was, was willing to cooperate and talk with you, maybe it was worth it.
"..Okay. Yeah, take me out for pizza. I just.. I need to talk to you about something." You responded, finally turning to face him, and his smile faded into a thin line.
"Talk to me.. about..?" He questioned you, as you averted his gaze and opted to look at the ground.
"You'll find out in time.." You said, turning around and heading towards the pizza parlor up the street, with Willaim stumbling behind to catch up with yo.
**************************
You and Willaim awkwardly sat directly across from eachother.
Right now, he seemed to be acting normally.. for now, at least.
You sighed, breaking the silence.
His head immediately popped up to look at you, as his pale blonde lockes swayed a bit as he did so.
"Listen, Willaim..I'm sorry about how I was acting earlier. Its just... you've been kind of scaring me lately." You explained, as his eyes widened a bit.
"I've been..scaring you?" He asked, as if there was no possiblity that you would feel that way towards him.
"You seem like you aren't yourself sometimes.. Its like you turn into a whole different person." He creased his eyebrows, as his light blue hues casted off worry.
"Is everything okay..?" You asked in concern, placing your hand on the table.
He glanced at it for a bit, before he placed his own hand on top of yours.
This caused your cheeks to warm up, their soft red glow contrasting your (s/c) skin.
"(Y/n)... I have to tell you something... and when I do, I don't want you to be afraid of me." He said, his eyes falling into focus with yours.
You nodded slowly, feeling your cheeks become warmer by the minute.
"I mean.. I really don't want you to be afraid of me. I've come to admire you as a friend, and even started to fa-"
"There's no need to explain, Black. Just go on." You cut him off.
He paused, as he looked to the ground as if he was disappointed, but pressed onwards anyway.
"A few years back, Mary and I were caught up in The Great Collapse. There was this being there with Mary, that threatened to possess her. In order for her to keep her own consciousness, I offered for the spirit to take a part of my body, and it did. And what you may have been dealing with these last couple days wasn't me.. it was the King of Despair." Your heart beated faster at the sound of the being's name, and you gritted your teeth.
It was silent for a bit, and that bothered Willaim, though you reassured him.
"I'm not afraid of you, Willaim. I just wanted to make sure the Willaim I've always known was still there. The Willaim I.." You trailed off, and your blush began to return.
His eyes were pleading a bit, waiting for you to finish your sentence.
You were both dodging what you wanted to say, though it was very apparent that you had feelings for eachother. But the fact that Willaim had another being inside him, another person apart of him.. that was the part that truly frightened you.
You didn't wanna have to ask yourself: Did I fall in love with Willaim Macbeth? Or The King of Despair?
In the absence of your thoughts, You noticed that both you and Willaim were locking your fingers together, leaning closer and closer to eachother.
"Willaim.. I don't see you as a friend anymore. I can't stop myself from seeing your attraction, and becoming obsessed with your personality..which is why I'm afraid to lose you to.. The King. And I.." You trailed off once again, as you both slowly leaned in closer and closer.
He was less than an inch away from you, you could inhale his crisp scent, feel his chilled breaths against your top lip. In this moment, it felt as if all of your senses were multiplied by 10,000.
You placed your hand against his cheek, softly stroking his pale skin.
"Willaim Macbeth, I've fallen in love with you, and despite what you just told me-"
And with that, Willaim's lips were already pressed against yours, and you let him guide you.
Your eyes fluttered closed, and for a moment, you'd forgotten everything. You forgot about the threat that loomed ahead, the fluttery nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach, or the fact that there were probably other people watching.
You were focused on the fact that you'd finally confessed your lingering love to Willaim, and he returned the feeling.
It felt like hours that you kissed him, the pattern of your lips taking their own course. They moved together perfectly, and his lips were similar to that of silk cloth.

Finally, you seperated from eachother, both of your eyes low, and your cheeks hazed over with a light redness.
"I love you too, (Y/n) (L/n)." He said with a shy smile, whilst squeezing your hand softly.
You looked away from him, embarrased that you had kissed him like that in front of all of the other customers.
"You know, Mary bet me it would take longer than this for me to tell you how I felt." Willaim chuckled.
"Mary knew how you felt? And you bet over me?!" You said, hitting him playfully.
He then accidentally knocked over a pile of napkins, and as he tried to pick them up, he also knocked over the condiments tray.
You giggled at the sight, admiring him.
Yes he was clumsy, and a bit awkward at times. But he was your best friend, and now your lover. You didn't ever want to give that up.
But with the King of Despair looming around, you weren't sure if Willaim could be himself, let alone have control of his body.
You weren't sure if... you'd lose him.
