Danny looked out into the small little rustic town that he now lived in. He smiled he never felt so free. He bit his lip and looked at his watch, it was now almost 7 o'clock. He was starting to wonder if will found someone else to take or just forgot. He probably got caught up in work or something. Who knows. Oh well. He glanced at the time and saw it change to 7 o'clock. Maybe he's running late. He took a shaky breath and turned to unlock the door. 'Yeah right.' His mind spat.
"Hay! Are you just wrapping up." Will came up the street with a smile.
"Uh, no I thought... um...you might not come or f...forgot or got busy with work or so." He said pulling the keys back in his hand and shock plastered on his face from the surprise yell.
"Oh no, was I late?" Will looked at his watch "No, I'm right on time." Will said with a smirk and showed off the time on his old golden color watch.
"Yeah, you are. Sorry, some times my mind gets a head of me." Danny smiled weakly at the over worry he just put himself through.
Will walked to him and looked down at him and said with all seriousness in his voice, but still gentle at the same time "Don't be. All you need to know is that, if I say I'll do something, I'll do it." He finished with a smile and without thinking put a hand on Danny's shoulder.
Danny started to blush ever so faintly and kept looking up at Will with big entrancing eyes as Will did the same. Danny looked away, coughing out "hmm...ok, got it"
"Oh, sorry. I'm like that with all my friends. I mean I'm usually a man of my word." Will said pulling his hand away as quick as possible.
They sat in silence for a moment, until will shatter it by asking "So you're ready then." He smiled while rubbing his neck and gesturing with his thumb in the direction they were going in.
The two walked through the town enjoying the peaceful evening views of the town and the woods. Seeing everything bathed in oranges and violets was so relaxing.
They had finally reached there destination after a few minutes. It looked to be a nice little wooden cabin from the angle they came in at.
"This is restaurant?" Danny asked dumbfounded. But looked in aw as people were coming in and out of the supposed restaurant.
"Yes. Intresting uh." Will told him.
"Yeah, it looks like it should be a house." Danny honstly stated.
"Well I think that's the charm of it and what makes it unique. You like unique, didn't you?" He question but already knew the answer.
"Yes, but..."Danny was cut off by Will. "Then come on, I'm told they shocked cooked food." He smiled and waved him on as he started walking to the home like building.
"Uh..." was all he could before he shook his head and smiled softly at Will. 'He's right.' Danny thought and started walking to catch up with Will.
When they walked into the place Danny's mouth dropped as he saw how big it really was. It still had that wooden cabin feel to it though with the accaunal Chandler hanging. You could also smell smoked cook foods, brisket, barbeque, and porkbutt, it could make anyone's mouth water.
He was lost in the scenery and the smell of the nicely dim lighted place that he didn't notice the hostess come to her station and ask "Well, how y'all done tonight."
He was shocked out of his trance by those words. "O..Oh Um fine." Danny managed out shyly.
"Yes, we're doing fine" will said looking at the hostess and back at Danny then her again.
"That's good, well how many in your party?"she asked sweetly.
"Just the two of us." Will informed her.
"Ok, would you want indoor or deck seating?" She asked and Danny snapped out of his shyness and let out an shocked yell of "You have deck seating?!" He sad in all astonishment.
The hostess and will looked at him in surprise. Then Danny realized what he did. His cheeks went ruby red and he looked away and mange to mumble out "I'm sorry."
"Oh don't be be it under standable to be shocked." She said.
"Well I guess deck seating then." Will said laughing a little.
"Ok, follow me than." She said motioning her hand for them to follow. Danny tried to stay quite and bit his lip thinking of how he just embarrassed himself. The lady led them through the back door to this huge deck area with tables every where and yellow like Christmas lights hanging all around the over hang that covered the whole deck. They were seated close to the railing. They could see all the colors of the evening reflect off of the water. Danny knew once the moon comes out, it would dance its reflection beautifully on the water.
"Ok, your server will be right with you." The hostess left leaveing the menus with them.
"Judging by that look in your eyes. You like it right." Will stated, breaking Danny from his blissful connection to the scenery in front of him.
"Oh.. umm.. Yes, Sorry. It's just so beautiful."Danny look at Will then back to the lake that was covered in colors and surrounded by trees and a few house sprinkled in.
"It is indeed." Will smiled, while taking in all of Danny's features.
"Well, how do ya do." The you dirty blond waitress spoke breaking both from their quite serenity. Making Will grawol a low grawol, but causing Danny to blush and rub his arm a bit with a nerves smile and respond "Oh fine thank you."
"Great and yo...." her voice got low as she tourn to see Will with a slight evil scowl on his face. Then turned back to Danny who didn't see the look. "What can I start you off with."she asked, trying to ignore the look directed at her. Danny quickly grabbed his menu and looked at the drinks and quickly picked one. "Tea please." Then they both turned to Will, the waitress more nervess and slightly shaking. "And you sir?"
"The same. Thank you." He said with a whole new look on him then a second ago. He even smiled. "I think we'll need another moment before we're ready to order as well " he said sweetly with a annoyed under tune.
"S...su...hum.sure." she struggled to get out. She then left to bring them there drinks.
"So what you thinking about eating." Danny asked while looking at the menu. As for will he couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the question asked. It took him back to how they met.
"What so funny?" Danny inquired.
"Nothing, really." Will informed.
"Aww come on. Tell me." Danny pouted.
"All right it's funny how I keep meeting you when I'm hungry." Will confessed.
"What? But I thought you were just checking out my store when we met.
Will hesitated but quickly thought of a slight lie. "I was hungry when I want in to your store. And don't laugh."
"Aboyt what?" I slight smile had all ready crept on to Danny's face.
"I was looking for something to eat when I came to your store." Will told him.
"Wait did you think my store was a restaurant?...hahaahhhaa!" Danny couldn't help but bust out laughing.
"You said you wouldn't laugh." Will scolded mischevisly.
"I said no such thing " Danny informed him. Will sighed in defeat, and just laugh lightly along with him.
They laughed for a while more.
Then when the waitress came back and gave them their drinks, trying not to shake to badly as she put Will's drink in front of them, and then taking their food order. When she left they went back to talking.
"Must be her first night she seems a little timid." Danny observed.
"Yeah." Will agreed take a quick sip of drink as his eyebrows raised in guilt.
"So you like meat." Will tried to start up another conversation , mostly to get off the waitress topic.
"Well yeah. Hmm well there was this one time I tried to become a vegetarian it didn't go so well. I missed stake. Ha." Danny laughed at his lack of commitment.
"Oh, dose that mean you hunt to." Will asked, since danny answered why he didn't last as a vegetarian him self.
Danny's face dropped and he looked down at his glass he played with the edges of the glass and said while looking in to the light brown liquid, "Oh, no. It might sound pathetic but I couldn't bring myself to kill an innocent creature. Which I'm told is weird because I eat them." Danny finished still not looking up.
"That's not pathetic." Will comferted him. Danny looked up at him with greatful eyes and he tuned and looked out to the water.
"Thanks, you know unlike must I feel like a bit beauty taken from the world when some thing so full of innocence life dies." Danny stated.
"Just the same." Will thought out loud.
"What? Just the same as What?" Danny questioned.
"Oh, did I say that out loud. Sorry" Will apologised.
"It's fine, but what's just the same." Danny again questioned him.
Will know turned and scratched his head and then finally answered with a sigh. "You."
"What about me."Danny was confused.
"Uh.. you're words there just the same as my girlfriend's. She thought the same thing" Will stated.
"Oh." Danny lit out as he put his hands in his lap and squeezed them together. 'Of course he's got a girlfriend' He thought to him self. Not making eye contact.
Will saw this but continued to say, "Yeah, she was the same like you. She didn't like to see the world lose such light but she under stood the circle of life." He smiled sadly.
"Was?" Danny repeated. He looked up at him 'What did he mean by was?' Danny thought.
Their food was then in front of them. "Enjoy and let me know if you need anything." The lady informed them.
"Thanks will do." Will said with a forced soft smile. The lady then walked away.
Danny waited for the lady to completely out of sight before asking, "What do you mean 'was'?"
Will sighed, "She died."
"Oh I'm so sorry." Danny apologized, looking up at Will.
"It's Ok. It happened a long time ago. Actually a life time ago." Will smiled sadly at the thought.
"I know the feeling." Danny sighed out.
"Really." Will looked conserend but still in disbelief.
"Yeah, it may not be exactly the same but I lost my mom when I was younger." Danny reviled.
"Sorry." Will looked at Danny with worried and sad eyes.
"It's fine. You just can't help them but miss them right?" Danny looked back at him then gave a closed eye smile.
"Right. But maybe we can switch to a more lighter subject." Will offered.
"Sounds good." Danny excepted.
"So what kind of music do you like." Will smiled asking.
"Hmm..That's a tough one." Danny thought about it. He can up with the fact that he listens to a verity of different music, so favorites differ.
They kept at this for a while laughing and commenting on each others opinions.
While a stranger in the back sniffs the air and starts starring at the two men. "Well, well, well. Who'd of thought one of them would be right here in the open." He smiled and licked his lips hungerly.
