Chapter Text
Freddy opened his eyes to the blinding light coming from their window. He turned to his side and faced Billy, who was spooning him from behind. Billy was sound asleep, breathing softly. Freddy smiled to himself at the sight.
Flashbacks from the night before started coming back to him. The kissing, the ride back, the laughter, and ultimately falling asleep into each other’s arms. He looked down at Billy’s red sweatshirt swallowing his frame. He felt his smile widen even more as he felt Billy move from behind him.
Freddy laughed and faced his… boyfriend? Was Billy his boyfriend now?
“Hey, wake up sleepyhead”
Billy’s eyes twitched and Freddy saw the other boy smile.
“Good Morning.”
Freddy laughed at Billy’s behead and rubbed his nose against the drowsy boy’s.
Billy chuckled and tightened his hold around the curly haired boy. Freddy nuzzled his head against Billy’s chest and felt lips press against his forehead.
Billy sighed against Freddy’s curls. “You look good in my clothes.”
Freddy felt himself blush and he struggled out of Billy’s arms, “Shut up.”
Billy laughed as Freddy sat up on the bed. Freddy felt Billy’s arm across his hips, “Come backkk,” he whined, and Freddy huffed.
He unzipped the hoodie and handed it to the boy laying down on the bed. “No! I’m sorry! Please put it back on!” Billy pouted and Freddy sighed as he put his arms through the sleeves again.
Billy sat up and scooted closer to Freddy. He tucked his head on his shoulder and wrapped his arms around him from behind.
“What did Rosa say we were doing today?”
Billy’s whisper sent a shiver through his entire body.
Freddy turned his head and placed a kiss on Billy’s cheek. He felt the boy smile and the arms around him tightened.
“I don’t know but we could probably get out of it right?”
Billy laughed, “Oh we could definitely get out of it if it was just Rosa we were talking about. We’ve got to get past Darla too.”
Freddy scoffed, “I guess no alone time for us then.”
“We’ll make it work.”
Freddy shook his head and Billy fondly smiled at him, “We always do.”
Freddy laughed and turned around in Billy’s arms.
After a few seconds in comfortable silence, Freddy spoke up.
“Tell me the truth, did you actually not know about your feelings for me?”
“Do you want the better answer or the honest answer?”
Freddy lifted his head and gave him a pointed look. “Honest.”
A guilty smile crept unto Billy’s face and Freddy released his hold of him. He grabbed a pillow and started repeatedly whacking the other boy.
Billy raised his hands to defend himself and started with a laugh, “AHHH YOU SAID— OUCH— YOU SAID TO GIVE THE HONEST ANSWER FREDD— STOP HITTING ME!”
Freddy laughed even harder but did not stop his attack. Billy smirked and grabbed the other pillow next to his leg. He smacked Freddy directly in the face and the boy fell off the bed.
“Oh my god! Freeman are you okay?”
Billy went to the edge of the bed to find Freddy laughing on the ground. Billy smiled to himself and hopped of the bed to help him up.
Freddy grabbed his hand and was hoisted up into Billy’s arms. He wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Billy moved his hands to his waist and smiled. Freddy laughed against his mouth and pulled away.
“You are so cute Billy.”
Billy blushed and awkwardly looked away, “Shut up.”
Freddy smiled and brought him down into another kiss, but they were separated by a knock on their door. They both pulled away and Freddy yelled, “who is it?”
“Are you decent?” They heard Mary shout from the other side, Billy rolled his eyes.
“Honestly shut the fuck up Mary.”
She laughed and opened the door.
“Where have you two been? Rosa’s been texting you for over 30 minutes.”
Freddy ran to his phone.
7 messages from Rosa
Rosa: Please get ready we are going to the Statue of Liberty at 11:00
Rosa: 5 minute warning!!!
Rosa: Where are you two??
Rosa: Freddy?
Rosa: We are waiting by the car
Rosa: I’m sending Mary
Rosa: ??
Freddy felt extremely guilty and turned to show Billy the messages.
“Judging from what Darla told me last night and Freddy’s attire, I take it you two made up?”
“It’s really none of your business Mary-“
She looked at Billy with an amused expression.
He rolled his eyes and Freddy nodded.
She smiled at them and ran to circle them both in a group hug.
“It’s about time you figured it out!”
“Ah Mary get off me!” Billy whined as he was crushed against their bodies.
She released her hold and walked back to the door.
“Quickly change and meet us by the van in 10.”
Billy nodded and waved her off.
Freddy walked towards his bag and pulled out a pair of clothes.
Billy did the same and they both got changed.
Freddy walked into the bathroom to fix his hair and Billy followed him.
He approached Freddy as he was checking his curls in the mirror and wrapped his arms around his waist.
“You should wear my hoodie today.”
Freddy hummed in response and felt Billy place an affectionate kiss on his neck.
“We should go soon.”
Billy nodded against his collarbone and released his hold.
They exited the bathroom and Freddy put on the infamous red hoodie.
“Come on Freeman!”
Billy was standing in the doorway holding his hand out for him with a smile.
Freddy shook his head with a grin on his face. He grabbed his support cane and trudged over to Billy. He held his hand with his free one and intertwined their fingers.
“Let’s go”
As they walked down the hallway to the elevator Freddy smiled to himself.
I just want the most important person in my life to realize their worth.
Freddy looked at Billy who was now facing straight ahead, and then moved his eyes to their hands.
He felt a squeeze and looked up to meet Billy’s eyes.
Once their eyes met he gave Billy a small smile. The other boy returned it and then turned back to face forwards.
They entered the elevator in comfortable silence.
Freddy squeezed Billy’s hand.
“I’m glad we got over that slump.”
Billy smiled back as the elevator opened.
“Me too-”
“Boys! There you are! Quickly, come on we will miss our ferry!”
They looked at each other with a grin.
“Coming!”
