After the mini incident, William responded, " Sergei, you know why I can't quit..." "Yes I know, but there are also reasons you should," Sergei urged the matter. "Ser-" William started " William please hear what I have to say." Sergei requested William, who looked at Sergei, he looked desperate. William sighed and let him continue, Sergei, taking a deep breath, went on.

" I know I can't quite relate to your line of work but I do understand that your working conditions are almost borderline mistreatment" he paused to look at William that was listening attentively Sergei felt his face start to flush he isn't good with talking about himself but followed with," and me having 5 other jobs I have seen bad working conditions, and - w- what I'm trying to say" Sergei felt his frustration come out a little" I'm worried about you and if you get too hurt you might hurt your children in the process." Sergei finally said it, his heart was pounding. Nervous to see William's reaction, he avoided his eyes. 

Sergei took a glance to see Williams's eyes staring him down. He felt the sweat form on his body and his muscles locked in place. He quickly removed his eyes until he eventually heard William sigh. He slowly went back to look at him. William wasn't smiling, his face was a straight expression. which is abnormal, to say the least. Eventually, Willaim began to talk." Alright.... I'll quit my job at construction... But how am I going to get more, even if I get the full time it still wouldn't be enough....." William said his expression was painful, and Sergei couldn't help but express sympathy in his eyes.

" WILLI!" Leda hobbled over exclaiming. 

"I have a proposal for you. I happened to hear about your current situation. Why don't you deliver things to me?" Both grown men looked like children who didn't get the question." You can deliver goods between our business and our business partners. Eh, sounds fair to me. Of course, there is an extra pay raise but it will have to be on weekends. Is that alright dear?" William's eyes lit up and he slid out of his chair, he nodded happily.

 William, ever since he was little had sorta stim where when he's really happy he'd bob his head. And it never fails to kick in, as it did now. He began getting more and more excited and happy and bear-hugged Sergei. Sergei who was happily sitting, then stood next to Leda felt his body leave the floor and come between something soft. Looking up his face met with beaming William which made his face flush."Thank you, thank you, thank you!" William kept saying and Leda just laughed.

 Sergei felt the arms of one of his greatest friends, slowly wrap and tighten more. As if a boa constructor wrapped around him. Sergei finally understood the true burliness of this sweet Irishman."W-Willam... You're crushing me..." Sergei managed to cough out. William released Sergei and with that, after staying a little longer they left. William decided to walk Sergei home despite his disagreement. While the two walked, William heard a warm, deep chuckle. His eyes glanced at Sergei, who was chuckling with joy on his face.

"S-sorry, I'm just happy you could view things my way ." Sergei coughed out but was still chuckling. William felt his become red and then heard something call to him and whispers something to his brain. William now had something to say once he got Sergei outside his home. Once the two stood out of the apartment complex, William gulped and as Sergei turned he grabbed his hand. Sergei's dark eyes, in a confused manner, met with William's nervous Blueish green ones.

"S-Sergei... I-I'm...Gosh sorry, not very good with my words... Sergei." William took a deep breath and allowed his words to fall out as he exhaled." I've..... liked you. Even though we started at a...Different... angle than most would. I believe I truly like every aspect of you....hehe I'm turning scarlet aren't I" Willaim looked away, the nervousness filling him." C--Could you possibly consider going on a date with me and being my f-fella...." William felt as if he sounded like a teenage girl confessing to her crush. But in a way, this is how he felt. He finally met with Sergei's eyes.

 Sergei was very shocked as looked at William, he hadn't been in a relationship for years, and he practically almost forgot what it's like to have a lover. He felt mixed emotions. He was happy, anxious, and every kind of emotion like that. Yet, he never felt disgusted by Williams's confession. however .... Sergei didn't feel worthy to be with this man and yet yearned to be with him. He wanted to give his mind time to think it through.

" I... consider it... please allow me more time." He said with a slightly awkward smile. William nodded, he did spring on him out of nowhere. William lifted Sergei's hand and lightly kissed it as if a part of old English times when they respected royalty. " Good night then Sergei, I pray you have sweet dreams." Willaim quietly said in an unconscious low tone with a small smirk. With that William turned and left into the dark yet busy streets.
