Snuggling deeper beneath the blankets Will moaned. "...warm...wanna sleep..." With a chuckle, Liam nudged Will a bit harder. "Come on sleepy head get up. I understand you rich boys can do this but give us working stiffs a break huh? I really want to take you to this place." Peering from beneath the blankets, his eyes blinking sleepily Will yawned. "Hey...I've worked...been a bartender in a club..." he yawned again, then smiled as he sat up. "And where we going by the way? Gonna grease-monkey me up, luv?" Chuckling at Liam's expression he dove off the bed then ran for the bathroom still naked. A rolled up shirt snapped Will across the ass. "Brat." "Got that right, pet!" Will whooped as he dove through the bathroom door with a crow of delight. "Wanna join the brat in the shower?" With a groan, Liam laid back on the bed covering his eyes with his arm. "No I better not. I think if I did we wouldn't be going anywhere and I told ya I really want to take you. Plus I took one before I woke you." Will's head popped around the corner of the bathroom door. A soft pout curled his lips as he sighed. "Your loss, luv..." his words trailed off as he blew Liam a kiss. A second later the door slammed shut and the sound of running water drifted into the bedroom. Liam picked up a pillow and covered his face with a loud groan the pillow muffling most of the sound then murmured. "I know, I know." *** A few minutes later Will slipped from the bathroom a towel draped loosely around his narrow hips, another draped over his head, as he briskly rubbed his hair dry. He paused at the foot of the bed taking in Liam stretched out on the tangled covers. He smiled as he wandered over to the closet and pulled out jeans and a black tee shirt. Dropping the towel without a thought he bent forward pulling on the faded Levi's, his ass pointed at Liam. "Go back to sleep, luv?" He asked with a grin as he slid them up over his legs and straightened tugging them up over his hips. "No." Liam murmured from beneath the pillow. Tugging the tee shirt over his head Will grinned as he prowled to the bed. Pouncing on Liam he ripped the pillow from his grip and tossed it to the floor. "Anyone tell you you're cute when you're horny, luv?" He leaned down planting a soft sweet kiss on Liam's shocked face. "Actually yes but not so much with the cute. More like 'Please fuck me now.' or 'Oh god I want you.'" Raising a dark brow Will snickered. "Would it matter if I told you 'please, fuck me now'?" He chuckled as he leaned in nibbling at Liam's ear. "I think maybe it wouldn't. Seems you wanted to take me somewhere. Wouldn't happen to be somewhere that you can have your wicked way with my beautiful bum---would it?" Liam released a long sigh shaking his head. "No I don't think it would be appreciated but then again maybe it would. Listen I don't want to give it away you ready?" Sighing Will slid from the bed. "I suppose I could handle a surprise." Wandering across the room, he retrieved his boots and a pair of socks, then returned to the bed sitting down next to Liam. "It's not going to break my heart is it? This surprise of yours?" His wide blue eyes studied Liam's face with a mixture of worry and fear. "'Cause I don't think my heart could take it, Liam." Liam shook his head. "No, no I promise Will no hidden wives or babies. Just me, the house, my job, and my family you know it all already." Nodding Will smiled, yet the fear didn't quite leave his eyes. "I trust you Liam...I do." Leaning in he kissed Liam quickly, then stood. "So where is this surprise and how do we get to it." Liam stood pulling out his car keys. "Just follow me I'll get us there." He headed out of the bedroom and down the hall going at a slow pace so that Will could catch up. Reaching the front hall Will paused tugging on his jacket. "Let's go see this surprise of yours, pet." He opened the door and ushered Liam out following him. "Can't wait to see it." They climbed into Liam's car and pulled out heading out of the driveway down onto the main road. "It's out of town but not too far out of the way so don't worry I know the way like the back of my hand by now." Will leaned out the window the wind tousling his still damp curls as he lit a smoke. "Wouldn't suppose it would do any good to ask for a hint---would it?" He continued to stare out the window at the passing landscape. "Let's just say the path leads to my enlightenment." Liam replied. Glancing over at Liam, he frowned. "We're goin' to see that bloody swamp hag ain't we?" He dropped his head against the seat and flipped his cigarette out the window. "Should have known it wasn't going to be a surprise of the horny kind." He chuckled softly. "Hey..." Liam reached over his hand stroking through Will's wet locks. "She isn't a hag and we have plenty of time to explore the horny avenue of our relationship alright? I just want you to meet her Will I wasn't excited the first time I met her either but she's a force Will a force that sees you I mean 'really' sees you. I owe it to her to bring you to her she's want to meet you and I want you to meet her, please for me." "Of course, luv..." Will reached up to grasp Liam's hand and placed a kiss in his palm. "I'd do anything for you...you know that right?" He smiled his eyes twinkling. "If it makes you happy I'd leap into the swamp and wrestle a 'gator." Liam laughed. "I know you would but that's not necessary." "Not necessary, but bloody well fun!" Will laughed loudly. "I suppose that's why your friend Gator does it." "Well Gator is a little crazy and I think a little gay but you didn't hear that from me." Liam replied with mirth. "Naw...I don't think he is..." Will chuckled, "...gay that is." He pointed out quickly. "'Course my gay-dar could be going all wanky on me." "Well he also probably doesn't stare at your ass." Will completely lost it then laughing so hard tears rolled down his face. "So your tellin' me Gator is just a wee little gay man?" He gasped for air as another fit of giggles hit him. "Well he is wee but don't ever say that to his face because that wee little gay man could probably kick both our asses if he really wanted that or shoot us. He's a really good shot Will. I'm glad he's my best friend I wouldn't want to be his enemy." "Not planning on pissing Gator off." Will sobered up and smiled. "He helped find you when you were... well..." he picked at a loose thread on his jeans. "Got a lot to thank the man for gay or not..." "Oh yeah I still have to slap him for that. God he tattles on me more than Kathy does." Liam pulled the car off the main road onto a dirt road. "Now about ten more minutes then we'll be there." "Cool..." Will smiled at Liam, "...don't slap him to hard, luv---okay? And speaking of Kathy..." his grin widened, "...think your sis has got a bit of a crush on me." "She has a bit of a crush on any boy that isn't Dad, me or Charlie." "I suppose that's normal for a bint her age..." Will did a quick calculation in his head. "What's she now? Fifteen or sixteen?" "Sixteen now." Liam turned onto yet another road this one going deeper into the swamps. Will stared thoughtfully out the windshield then released a faint sigh. "Yeah suppose she is now. Don't remember her like a woman...she was this tiny annoying pest that followed us around. Had pigtails and always had her knees scabbed up. Your poor mum had a fit trying to get her in a dress for church on Sunday as I recall." He chuckled softly reaching over and squeezing Liam's thigh. Liam nodded face blank and devoid of emotion then quietly whispered. "Yeah Sundays were interesting." Suddenly Ophelia's house appeared up ahead. "We're here." *** Opening the door Will slipped from the car, his boots raising a cloud of dust. Sometimes he forgot how quickly the rain could dry up here. He glanced at the tiny cottage surrounded by a gated fence worn by weather and age. He'd only been here once before and it had been on a dare from Timmy Johnson. Johnson was a great name for the annoying little wanker. Trees draped with Spanish moss seemed to surround the cottage with a living breathing darkness. "I don't know if I can go in there..." he whispered to no one in particular. "Want to do what you did when you were little and hold my hand?" Liam stepped up beside him. Shaking his head Will laughed. "Naw...just rememberin' when I was here the last time. You remember Timmy Johnson? Little bastard dared me to come up here one time..." Will shook his head. "Can't imagine why I didn't tell you before now." He looked up with sparkling eyes at Liam. "You say she's a good bint and all so I'll trust you..." his words faded as he reached out despite his earlier comment and grasped Liam's hand. "Suppose it wouldn't hurt to hang on to the one thing I give a damn about and trust." Liam squeezed once then moved towards the house. When he reached the door, he lifted his fist and knocked softly. The door creaked open to reveal Ophelia wild hair tied back with a bright colored scarf. When her dark eyes settled on Liam she smiled wide her teeth gleaming in her dark face. "Ahhh...angel boy come to see de crazy swamp lady." She chuckled as she opened the door wider, then her eyes settled on Will's pale face. "I see ma cheri...you bring your little one to me." "Yeah I know you've always wanted to see his face. Always wanted to know what it was all about. So, here he is in the flesh. Plus I wanted him to see you...in the flesh." Nodding her head thoughtfully, she stepped closer to William her dark eyes flashing with what Will imagined was voodoo magic. He flinched as her hand lifted to stroke his face, his hand tightening on Liam's. "Don't you be fearin' little one ol' Ophelia won't bite." She cocked her head and her gaze flickered to Liam, then back again. "That is unless you want me to ma cheri." Liam chuckled pointing inside. "Now don't be doing that he's scared enough and you can tell. You going to let us in? Or maybe you want to keep us out like the vermin." With a snort, Ophelia released her grip on Will's chin. "If I was gonna leave anyone out like the swamp rat he be it would be you angel-boy. Now this pretty little one he be far too sweet to be vermin." She stepped back through the door waving the boys in. "Come on now and come into Ophelia's lair." She chuckled softly as William glanced to Liam. "You sure she ain't bloody well dangerous, Liam? The hairs on my neck are bloody well standing on end." He whispered softly. Liam kissed the top of Will's head leading him inside. "Nah baby she just wants to ruffle your feathers. Wants you to think she is the crazy swamp lady. She pulled this particular trick on me for the first ten or so visits before she backed off. She's as tame as a kitten most days aren't you O?" He leaned over to kiss her head. Smacking playfully at Liam Ophelia's cheeks began to glow. "You just be driving an old lady crazy now with all your flattery." She smiled at William as he nervously looked around. "You should 'ave seen your boy when he come here the first time. He be lingering outside the gate like the devil be hiding in my little garden. Swear angel-boy's face it be as white as old man Krieger's ghost that be wandering this here swamp." She patted Will's arm and pointed to the table. "Have a seat little one. We be havin' much to speak of I be thinkin'." Will stepped away from Liam and took a seat at the rough table smiling nervously at Ophelia. "What could we be talking about?" "Everything and your Mother and I'm serious there." Liam calmly replied as he wandered around Ophelia's house looking at pictures and statues. Chuckling Ophelia sat down across the table from William. "Don't you be listening to that silly angel-boy. We be talkin' about the future ma cheri...give me your hand." William's eyes widened, yet he found himself giving his hand to Ophelia. Glancing to the left he met Liam's dark eyes and sighed. Even across the room like this, he felt safe. Liam had always made him feel safe. Liam crossed his arms over his chest and watched carefully making sure his gaze never left Will's. So that he knows, that he was there with him a hundred percent. Gentle calloused fingers traced along each line and crease in William's trembling palm. "You be here before little one...seeking the soul that hold you tight..." Ophelia glanced up into his dilated eyes. "You play it out little one...each life. Playing be all it is cause you fear the worst---don't you ma cheri? Fear you be too late..." she swayed her eyes glazing over. "Always too late..." William felt as if his chest was imploding and he began to pant desperately tears trickling down his cheeks. "No...no..." he whispered softly, his own body beginning to sway in time with Ophelia's. Liam's eyes darted back and forth then he pushed off the wall. "Hey, hey what's going on?" "Liam..." William whispered his tear filled eyes lifting to take in Liam's face. "Love you...always will...will do anything for you..." his voice faded as he slumped in the chair all the color draining from his face. At the same time, Ophelia released his hand letting out a mournful cry. Her head dropped to the table as she began to weep. Liam rushed over dropping to his knees as he lifted Will up off the table and cupped his face in his hands. "Come on, come on get up. Will come on no scaring me." A soft moan escaped Will's lips as Liam cradled him close. His eyes fluttered open as he sighed softly. "Liam? What happened, pet?" A frown creased his brow. Ophelia lifted her head staring at her two boys. Yes, she thought, they were hers to protect and love there was no doubt. Liam glanced towards Ophelia raising a brow. "I don't have any idea---do you?" Shaking her head Ophelia stood, turning her back to Liam. "Your boy be the only one that can be telling you that, angel-boy. There be something coming...something your boy needs to face." She wrapped her arms around herself with a sad sigh. "I be here to guide you, but I don't have all the answers cheri." "Fine alright we'll figure this out." Liam stood, helping Will to his feet, his hand under his elbow. "Come on Will let me get you home." Will took a deep breath leaning into Liam. "I'm sorry, pet..." tears welled in his eyes as they drifted shut, "...don't know what happened." His legs wobbled beneath him as Liam guided him to the door. Turning back to the retreating boys Ophelia shivered. "Watch over him, Liam." She whispered softly as they headed to the car. "I will." Came Liam's reply, his voice carrying back on the wind as he helped William into the car. He climbed in starting the engine. "I'll get you home and tuck you in and take care of you its going to be fine." William turned towards the window with a faint sigh. "Don't need to be tucked in, luv. 'Course I wouldn't mind an aspirin me bleedin' head is throbbing like the engine of your car." He rubbed at the knot forming between his eyes. There was a part of him that felt bad for lying to Liam. He knew exactly what had happened. There had been flashes in his head of images that couldn't be real, but they'd seemed too real. "Okay so we'll get you home and get you some aspirin." Liam turned the car onto the main road. "Sorry that went sour but honestly O is a doll-baby when you get to know her. I'll take you again when your ready if you ever want to go." Shifting in the seat William looked over at Liam with wet eyes. "Yes, I want to talk to Ophelia...she's important to you, pet. Didn't do anything to me. I swear hon'." He smiled weakly at Liam as one of the images came back to him. A field and two men facing off with swords. One was Liam, but not Liam, with long flowing hair. "Liam..." he whispered, "...you know I love you--- right?" Liam reached over stroking Will's cheek. "Yeah baby I know---why? Are you okay? You seem scared. Are you sure you don't want to tell me anything?" Shaking his head William tried another smile, this one a bit more steady. "Just this bleedin' headache...swear it. Maybe the whole tuckin' in ain't such a bad idea after all." He leaned into Liam's touch closing his eyes. Behind his eyelids, the image began to form of the two men fighting, but over what he wondered. "Then that's what we'll do. I'll get you in your bed and then I'll get the aspirin and maybe read to you or something. How does that sound?" His smile widened. "You'd do that for me?" "I'd do anything for you." Liam whispered meaning every word completely. *** As the car came to a stop William opened the passenger door with trembling hands, trying not to let Liam know how much the visit had rattled him. "You're the best friend a guy could have, Liam." He smiled as he stood on less than steady legs. "And the only man I could ever want..." he paused, his voice softening, "...even in a million lifetimes, luv." He closed the door and headed towards the house his heart pounding wildly in his chest. Liam pressed against Will's back providing a steady wall to lean against as he opened the door. "A million lifetimes huh? That means a million lives. Kind of neat to think we could have loved each other a million times a million different ways to finding each other and being with each other. Wonder if each one was as happy as we are right now?" As the door swung open, William let his eyes drift shut as he fought the tears welling in his throat. "I hope so...can't imagine anything else with the two of us." He turned in Liam's arms burying his face in his chest with a soft sigh. "Pet...I don't feel so hot..." he swallowed hard as his legs gave out beneath him once more. Liam caught William picking him up into his arms. "Okay that's it you can swear and bitch at me but I'm carrying you now." He stepped inside, closing the door with his foot, then ascended the stairs to William's room. Slumped against Liam's shoulder William sighed. "This is just bloody great...I've done lost any dignity I might have had." His lower lip pushed out in a pout. "I feel like that stupid bint Scarlet O' Hara and you're Rhett Butler. Course I'm pretty damned sure Scarlett didn't weigh this much and Rhett didn't smell like..." he sniffed the air, "...man sex and motor oil!" He burst out laughing. Liam wiggled his eyebrows. "How do you know baby?" Snorting William rolled his eyes. "Well I don't believe that there was motor oil back in the day and I'm sure that Scarlett did not have a penis last time I checked. And also as far as it goes..." he flung his hand over his eyes dramatically, "...frankly my dear Liam I don't bloody well give a damn!" Laughing loudly Liam laid William on his bed. "I'll get you the aspirin you stay put Scarlett." William sat up removing his boots, then his tee shirt and burrowed beneath the covers chuckling. "I suppose you'll be serving me mint juleps on the verandah and seducing me like the southern rogue you are next." He lay back on the pillows closing his eyes against the dull throb. *** The room was quiet until a few minutes later as a glass filled with cool water and an aspirin was nudged into his hands. Soft lips drifted down to kiss each eyelid gently followed by a deep voice. "I'd gladly seduce you anytime baby." Another set of soft kisses teased across Will's eyelids. "You're ever so seducible." "Am I?" William sighed at the gentle warmth of Liam's lips on his skin. "Never used to think so, but then I never had you..." he sighed, opening his eyes and taking the aspirin washing it down with the cool water. Handing Liam the glass, he leaned back into the pillows with a contented smile. "Lay down with me---alright, pet?" Liam nodded then stood stripping off his shirt, shoes and unbuckling his belt to slip out of his pants. Setting everything on a nearby chair he slipped into bed behind William spooning him, an arm wrapping around him gently, and his head settling on top of Will's. "How's this?" "Perfect..." William purred softly as he snuggled into Liam's bare chest. Silence descended over the room once more, as they lay wrapped around each other. Beneath his ear, William could hear the soft 'thump, thump' of Liam's heart and it was like home to him---the warmth and the sound of his heart and his steady breathing. "You believe in past lives, pet?" He whispered softly placing a soft kiss above Liam's heart. "Don't rightly know for sure but I'm sure there could be such a thing. If you wanted to know what I thought personally, I guess I say yeah why not---you know? No reasons to think otherwise. After all I was told by Mom when I was little that deja-vu was a reaction to a moment that you had lived in your past life a repeat I guess. I always respected Mom for everything she ever said so yeah guess you can have a past life." Will sighed softly. "Well if we didn't get it right the last time..." he yawned snuggling closer, "...I'll make sure we do it right this time..." his voice trailed off as he began snoring softly. "You already are Will you already are doing it right." Liam whispered as he kissed the top of William's head, then closed his own eyes falling asleep shortly after. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
