A week had passed since the strange encounter between William and Danny. Danny had mange to get a latter from a neighbor, so he could fix his sign a bit.
"Finished" Danny huffed out. He was about to start his descent when a big gust of wind caught him just right. Making him fall backwards, he tried to hang on to the latter but it to was shaking and he lost his grip on it. Sending him plummeting to the ground. He close his eyes tighter than Fort Knox, waiting for the pain too hit. He felt a soft impact instead of the painful one of the concrete. He finally mustered up the courage to open one eye and look at what stopped the impact.
"Hi." The familiar voice said.
"W William?" Danny got out in shock.
"Yes." William looked at the latter and the sign. 'If I had been even a second late he would of been layed out on the ground unconscious or worse' he thought when looking at the spot where the boy would of surely hit, then back at the boy in his arms. "What were you doing?" William questioned.
"I...I was touching up my sign." Danny responded, looking away.
"Now I see why you really don't have a latter in your store. You're just to accident-pron." William said smiling at at Danny.
"I am not." Danny pouted at William, Danny's eyes shining in the light as he did. William was lost in his eyes, these eyes he had longed to see again as he teased them too this shape.
"Um.. Can you put me down now? I think I'm ok to walk." Danny said looking down in awkward hesitation.
These words snapped William out of his trance.
"Oh! Yes, sorry" He exclaimed as he frantically put Danny down on his feet.
"Thanks for the save, again Will." Danny thanked.
"Um. You're welcome" Will said rubbing his neck.
Danny started rubbing his arm and then leaned down to pick up his fallen equipment, paint brushes, wash cloth an little cans of clear coat and regular paint. As he did so and looked up at him an said "So... what are you doing here?... Not to sound rude or anything. It's just that I haven't seen you for a while. I thought I freaked you out or something... oor you could of been busy and that's all. An I'm rambling, aren't I?" He dragged the 'or' and 'an' as he talked getting more frantic by the moment. Then William knelt down to help and responded with "I was hoping to ask you something." William finished picking up the rest of the supplies.
"Really?" Danny said looking up at Will in shock.
Will cleared his throat and took a sec to look up. When he did he hand the stuff to Danny and at the same time said "Yeah". Will got up and put his hand out for Danny to take, to help him up. "Ok, so what is it?" Danny questioned curiously with a small smile.
Will continued to talk. "Well, gulp, I was wondering if you where free to night?" He looked at him an started to hesitate but managed "To check out this restaurant with me...I mean it would be nice to have the company." He panicked.
Danny now pulled to his feet was feeling like would be colliding with the ground again. His face beginning to heat up. "Really? Um sure." He questioned and answered hesitantly and softly with small smile.
"Really?" Will said with shock and happy lacing his voice.
"Yeah. I kind of owe you any way for for another assist." Danny smiled with his eyes closed. He laughed embarrassed of the fact he was indeed clumsy.
"Ok, so I'll pick you up at 7:00 tonight." Will smiled and open the door for Danny. Danny still smiling face started to sweat a little bit more and walked in.
"Do you need any more help." Will asked kindly.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you though" He responded and tripped on a small pulled out box, not enough to fall. "Still fine. See ya... tonight." He said waving Will off with his barely freed hands.
"Ok... See you to night." Will said so calm and cool that it sent shivers up Danny's spine. Danny mange not show it to much but once will was out of sight, smiled and let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. He thought to him self 'was I just asked out?... No he just wanted someone to go with him so he wouldn't be alone.'He looked down at the items he put down and his once smile turned to a sad small smile as he rolled the brushes on the table. 'Yeah that's it.' He let out a sad breath of air.
