Okay i know this story is old and so i highly doubt you have any plans in reviving it, but i still wanted to write and say that i just read this and thought it was really beautiful. I think i've said it before that i think your writing is breathtaking- there are so many moments even in just this small chapter where i wanted to read the sentence over a few times to let it sink in properly what i had just read. And not a lot of authors make me do that, so that is really good! I really felt the emotions and the symbolism and everything worked really well here in building up the character of Bill and his situation. And Gordon's character too. And even just this small part of the end of him touching his face and saying Bill had his mother's eyes, even at this point in innocence- you could see instantly what was gonna be Gordon's downfall and how he was gonna start falling for Bill or deliberately hurting him or whatever it was you intended with the story.
I'm sad that this was never continued because this could have been really good!

I really like this pairing. Wish there were more of them. This was a very good start and I hope you plan to write more :D

cant wait for the second chapter
