I am in total love with this story. There were so many sweet and precious moments plus that little bit of angst, to make it more real.
I have to add that you choice for Bill's middle name was AMAZING!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm incredibly happy to hear that. I really enjoyed writing this story and have been overwhelmed by all of the positive responses. :)
It just seemed right, and so much fun as well. ;)

He squashed his face against Tom's pillow to hide a goofy grin. "With my boyfriend, and his morning erection." - *snorts*
Bill started out trying to be quiet, but Tom seemed to enjoy provoking him to make noise. - * giggles *
'Bill-sexual’ – LMFAO there’s a fic called Bill sexual *snorts*
"You wouldn't," he said.
"Live in fear," Bill teased him. – lol!!!
"You're wearing my shirt after we made love in my bed," Tom told him, raising a brow. "It's definitely sexy." - lol
"Damn it, Tom, it's one thing for you to be loud as fuck when I'm out all night, but since when do you nail them the next morning--" – *snickers and snorts*
"Yeah, I'm letting Tom do everything to me." – lol I wish he had said this!
Andreas was gaping. "Oh, my God," he said, and couldn't seem to find anything else that fit, because he repeated it a little louder. "Oh, my God. You two really are...oh, my God." - *snickers, snorts and giggles*
Bill stood riveted in the kitchen as a vital realization smacked him with the force of an anvil between the eyes. He had a date tonight.
"I have nothing to wear!" Bill wailed. – LMFAO OMG LOL!!!!!!
As Tom and Andreas tore through the apartment, yelling and rough-housing, Bill stood riveted in the kitchen as a vital realization smacked him with the force of an anvil between the eyes. He had a date tonight.
"I have nothing to wear!" Bill wailed. – this bit here was really, really well done. The transition from enjoying the rough housing to his realization he had ‘no clothes’ very organic and very smoothly done. Very impressive.
"Babe, did you win something?"
"Don't call me that," Bill protested – I kind of hate “babe” and “baby” too.
"Your song was excellent," the teacher addressed Bill, giving him a smile and a nod. "Do submit next year, Bill – we were all very impressed. The love between you and your gentleman, here, was very touching as well – it's a precious thing, to love someone so much." - *makes retching noises* OMG soppy alert *makes ah-oh-ga-chucka noises*
That had been another kind of revelation for Bill, as he went out with Tom in public. He'd expected Tom to be standoffish at best, skittish about even brushing up against him at worst, but Tom had been the first to reach for him. He wasn't obvious about it, but there had been no hesitation and that was what Bill needed. – yeah I was a little worried about that one too, glad to see I was wrong. But then again when this story is fluffy it’s so fluffy it might as well have a little cotton tail.
Awe I think this is one of my favorite angst/fluff stories ever. It's so amazing up and down. I knew what was coming but not necessarily when or how. There were surprises despite it being "predictable". Lovely very lovely!

"I...I want to try something..."
"Anything," Tom said fervently - *sigh* so in love with each other, *rolls eyes* so fucked up!
All this time and Bill’s never given Tom a blowjob? Huh?!
This is so sad and pathetic, they both are feeling the same way but neither one is willing to put their heart on the line. *sigh* Now Tom is feeling a lot more like Bill did, loving the other person and completely believing he doesn’t love him and never will.
Mirror? *giggles* Really? Really? Lol ok really.
"Bill?" Tom was thrashing upright in bed, sounding a little crazed. "Bill!?" – awe pathetic!
"It's you, Tom," Bill said outright. – YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!! Ah omg finally!
"I love you," he blurted. - *squeals* YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA!
"All you ever had to do was ask." – stupid boys really need to learn to communicate!
Date: 01/03/10 09:52 am Title: {fifteen}
He didn't want it to be over; his friendship with Tom was one of the most important things in his life, but if it was going to be this way... – well Tom’s heart is all broken so…it’s kind of hard to pull it all together. *sigh* stupid boys!
andi got called in to work 2nite. u dont have to come to pizza n movie night if u dont want to. - *sigh*
He was trying to pinpoint the source of his unease, a constant niggling sense that something was wrong. He dismissed it. They hadn't even done anything yet, after all; and Bill didn't have any commitments, Tom or otherwise. – you’re going against what it is you want (Tom) so everything feels wrong.
With a jolt, he recalled the look on Tom's face from the other day. I don't think I can believe in love. Had Ariel done that to him? Or... – or…yeah, so fucking slow on the up take!
"I understand; Bill, I totally do. That's why...if there's someplace you'd rather be, you know...you should be there." – he’s not going to take that, he still totally believes that Tom doesn’t love him and that loving Tom is bad for him. *sigh* stupid, stupid boys!
"Oh, it's..." Bill began, turning and finding Georg's face so close to his, right beside him and illuminated in the dusky light of the scattered multitude of stars. – Georg is so romantic and sweet. If only Bill could really love him. And given time he might be able to.
"Can you look at something for me, Georg?" Bill said at last, as the stars dwindled above while the floor lights brightened. "I...I finished my song, you know. I wanted someone to take a look at it, and I thought...well, I thought you'd understand." – dude really after you reject his offer at love you’re going to have him “help you out” that’s kind of shitty!
"Then you should tell him," Georg suggested.
"I can't!" Bill said immediately, pulling a face. "No way. He doesn't feel the way I do." - *groans* there is so much wrong with this statement from Bill! OMG I can’t even start!
Yea!!!! It’s the blue line, YEA!
Yea! Almost a conversation about their feelings, almost talking about what they need to really talk about. So close!
"Your boyfriend..." Tom whispered.
"One last time, okay?" Bill whispered back, aching. – *sigh* and a step back but they’re sort of moving in the right direction.
Date: 01/03/10 09:11 am Title: {fourteen}
Is Georg interested, I used to think so, but he might just be a nice guy? They tend to be few and far between enough that it’s hard to spot them for what they are.
Well, you know, it can't rain all the time – lol I totally recognized this line.
"Oh, it's...it's nothing," Tom said with downcast eyes, though he let his hand drop to reveal not one, but two umbrellas dangling from his wrist by their nylon cords, tangled and bumping together. – awe Tom that’s so sweet!
"Your eyes are red," Tom interrupted. "You okay?"
"Y-Yeah," Bill faltered. "I, uh...I..." Cried all night. Had trouble sleeping last night. Can't get over you. – oh Bill, I wonder if you said the truth if that would prompt Tom to spill the beans. I wonder if Tom was going to tell you he loved you yesterday. Oh god if he was this must be killing him, believing he missed his opportunity by one day.
"I don't regret any of it, Tom. You said you'd make it good and you did." – I have so much hope for this moment but I’m pretty sure you’re going to dash it on the rocks!
How about you and Ariel?"- yeah there’s that rock!
Bill's nostrils flared. He was hurt. Did Tom really think it didn't matter that he'd lied? – you just want an excuse to be mad at him so you have a reason NOT to love him.
"So? He does the same thing when he's fucking me. Good thing, huh." – hope that comment doesn’t come around to bit anyone in the ass.
Thank you for the heartwarming lack of death threats. - *snorts and cracks up*

Why would a guy who’s just in it for the sex, who’s just a friend with benefits text you 7 times in an afternoon. Come on Bill use your head!
"What do you mean, you can't do this anymore?" Tom demanded directly in his ear. His voice was shaking. – awe Tom you needed to tell him, really tell him you loved him. You are so stupid! I feel so bad that you are so stupid!
"Do you think...Bill, do you think you could like me?" – TOM you needed to do this so long ago! Maybe after the first time…stupid boy!
Oi! That hurts!
Date: 01/03/10 08:18 am Title: {twelve}
Andreas shook his head. "Tom really got to you," he observed. "But...he's straight; you know that, right?" – apparently even Andreas doesn’t even realize that Tom’s totally in love with Bill. Why hasn’t Tom told Bill? He’s going to loose him if he keeps up his “straight” charade.
"Bill, I'm asking because he's dating Ariel. Like, dating her. Gotten dressed up and taken her out and gone to dinner dates and everything. I found a torn-up receipt for flowers in the trash." – what?! Dating her?! What? Why is Tom protecting his “straight”
Tom had lied to him. – yes this worries me most.
The next day Bill woke up and turned his phone off. He shoveled breakfast into his mouth without tasting it and turned music on without hearing it and watched the first bus pass by without seeing it. He wore flat-soled shoes and put on the first thing to fall off his steel clothing racks and pulled his hair back without brushing it. – oh God Bill is totally broken *sigh*
"More than just your ass," Tom muttered, and his cheeks were definitely redder than before.
Oh? Bill wanted to inquire, but chided himself to get off that subject – you know NOT asking questions is what go t you into this problem.
"Track's over," he said with a ring of finality, face expressionless. – what?
Tom has so much going on, is juggling so much I have no idea about his motivations…some fishy stuff is happening on his part.
Andreas should not be pressuring Bill to do anything. If he’s ok with the arrangement the he’s ok with it, even if it’s unhealthy. He knows about Ariel now and that may be enough to make him not want to be in the relationship but it’s his choice, his life not Andreas’.
Make the choice that's best for you, when you figure out what that is.- good advice mum!
Is Bill really that dense or just that overwhelmed? How did he not notice that Georg was offering himself as the intended? How does he not see that Tom is totally in love with him. Boys are stupid!
Date: 01/02/10 07:27 am Title: {eleven}
All they'd done was lay side by side, kissing and stroking each other until they came, and somehow it had still managed to be one of the hottest things they'd done so far. – OMG Bill you are so stupid. Tom is so in love with you. Guys don’t do that unless they want to be with you, unless they actually like you.
cant wait 2 see u – I want to smack Bill, Tom is practically lovey-dovey here OMG so mushy!
"Wow," Tom uttered, and his next words seemed to slip out before he thought. "You look edible."
Bill widened his eyes. "Am I lunch?" – LMFAO
"No, it's...it's stupid. Andi's got something on me, that's all." – Ok if Tom isn’t going to spill Andi really, really needs to!
"Oh, no you don't," he said. "This ain't my first rodeo. You don't get to ride me hard until I've been fed at least enough calories to make it worth the effort." – OMG the funniest line! OMG! LMFAO!
I’m just waiting for him to storm out, very classic Bill.
Only me? That sounded like a confession. – this isn’t fight club…ask more questions and you might get an answer you aren’t expecting.
Say no, Bill urged himself, shutting his eyes. Say no, and get the hell out of here.
"Are you still hungry?" Tom spoke against the corner of his mouth before pressing a small kiss there.
"No," Bill said hoarsely, firm about it. – LMFAO ha ha ha!
Tom blinked at him and his face dropped. His grip on Bill loosened and he looked several levels beyond disappointment; Christmas was cancelled. – awe puppy kicking time?
"Not...not in the kitchen again," Bill gasped – LMFAO no resolve none at all!!! *cackles*
"So much; don't wanna stop, wanna do this forever." – dangerous having this conversation during sex lol
"Bill, I..." He lifted Bill up onto his thighs, deepening the angle and bending his legs up toward his chest. – LOL we’re never going to get the ‘I love you’ are we? Lol
"That was you...but Tom was...oh my God, you and Tom!?' – oh no! It’s going to get messy!!!
Date: 01/02/10 06:44 am Title: {ten}
Ok not who I expected him to be playing phone tag with, awesome!
When Tom gave him the heavy-lidded gaze and slowly-unfurling smile Bill was now conditioned to recognize as the 'sex look,' Bill's resistance crumbled and the next thing he knew, he was flat on his back. Or on his knees with his ass raised in the air. Or on his side. Or struggling to breathe through desperate arousal as Tom bent him over the kitchen table... - *giggles* poor Bill is all sex trained lol
All he knew was that Tom wanted him that way until Bill found someone that he liked, and Bill was pretty sure that he wanted Tom forever. So where did that leave them? – happily ever after?
"Everything's fine. Better than fine."
Perfect. Devastating. – awe Bill!
He'd wanted to ask when Tom had started carrying lube and a condom in his pocket before deciding he didn't want to know, in case it wasn't for him. – lol it’s all for you Bill ha ha
OH NO what is Tom doing? What is going on?
Bill bit his tongue to prevent saying something about the girls Tom fucked, because it would be lining himself up for an easy shot at how he ranked in that queue now. He wasn't a girl, but Tom was still playing him. – oh Bill! *sigh*
Bill blinked. That had been an awful lot of build-up, and unaccountably he was let down. "I, ah, sure," he agreed, blithely ignoring the fact that he'd turned Andreas down for the same. This was Tom, after all. – I think that started off as a different question.
Tom waved a hand at him. "So get your own Bill." – awe so cute!
Bill wanted to ask what they were doing, but maybe it was more Fight Club than love game; the first two rules being that they didn't talk about it, or it wouldn't happen. – LMFAO dude!!! so funny!
*snorts* Tom is going to have a pissing contest with Georg!!! Then they are going to measure their penises.
"I came over last night," Bill protested.
"I don't care," Tom said earnestly. "Do you care?" – lol he’s going to cave isn’t he?! Ha ha ha yup thought so.
Date: 01/02/10 06:11 am Title: {nine}
It took two days – two days? *eye roll*
"Ha, ha...a date! With Georg. A date!" He pounded the table and slapped his thigh. – I hope this reaction makes Tom feel a little more secure.
'so, how about the time you fucked me?' – yes very effective conversation starter!
"Tom!" Bill yelped, twisting around in his friend's arms. Was he really... - *shifty eyes* two shot?!
“I thought it was...I mean, I thought...you were done. I mean, you worked it out and it wasn't what you thought it would be, so..."
"You're right,” Tom interrupted, low-voiced. “It wasn't what I thought it would be.” - *giggles and flutters*
You’re a boy? OMG Tom you’re hopeless!
Tom was like an octopus, wound around him and suddenly possessing too many arms for Bill to cope with.- *giggles*
*flutter claps* OMG Tom’s going to give Bill a blowjob?! *giggles*
Tom arched a brow and gave him a smile more shy than confident, odd to Bill's wondering eyes. – how can Bill miss this stuff? Lol boys are so stupid!!!!!
"It's okay, go ahead," Tom said with a little laugh. He grabbed Bill's hand and guided it up to his hair. “Touch them, play with them; grab them, if you want to.” – I guess he’ll be a pony for you.
"Now, please, now." Before you come to your senses, the thought occurred. – awe Bill it’s you has to wake up.
"Don't," Tom said, quickening his movements. "Don't keep it in, I want to hear you. Bill." His voice broke in half over Bill's name.
"Tom," Bill moaned his response, then louder, longer: "Tom, Tom!" He screamed himself raw as he came. – ok wow that’s really hot!
Awh Bill!!! Pay attention to him he’s doing a crapy job of communicating but he’s still telling you things, just call him out on it.
