Five People Will Dated and the One That Stayed

Disclaimer: Disney owns it. I'm borrowing the characters.

Chapter One: Layla

"Best breakup ever."

"Agreed," Layla stated before she popped a kernel of popcorn into her mouth.

A slight nudge on her thigh prompted her to drop a kernel into Will's waiting mouth. His head was situated on her lap, using her as his proverbial throw pillow as they lounged on top of the Stronghold roof. "Don't choke."

Will pointedly chewed noisily, opening his mouth once more for another serving of popcorn.

Layla sighed, a fond smile on her lips as she hand fed him another piece of popcorn, a pleased hum from Will was his version of thanks.

"You would think there would be more anger on my part."

"Nah, bad karma," Will pointed out. "Probably bad for the environment. It would probably send out like, potentially negative psychic waves into the ozone layer. You would be setting back all the hard work you did if you were angry."

"Did you even understand half of what you said?" Layla asked wryly.

"Not at all."

"Neither did I."

Layla looked down at Will the same time he looked up.

They both had matching grins on their face.

"How do you think everyone took it?"

"Well, Zach and Ethan have banded together to take me out to laser tag this weekend."

"Won't Zach be the proverbial moving target?"

"Exactly."

"Men."

"Magenta?"

"Mani-pedi."

"That's it?"

"And…apparently, Magenta is making a figure of you to burn in a bonfire out in the woods. The manicure and pedicure is for the dirt that will be crusted on our hands and feet."

"Ew, imagery. Points for the creativity."

"You don't sound too distraught over the borderline voodoo action."

"Well…"

"Warren?"

"Yeah, he pulled me to the side and we ate Chinese."

Layla cocked her head, waiting for more of the story.

Will bit his bottom lip, a smile breaking out on his face. "While we were eating, he offered to burn your pictures and whatnot."

"Whatnot?"

"He was very nonspecific…"

Layla sighed, "I can't believe he took your side."

Will grinned, "Bros before h-"

He snapped his mouth shut.

Layla glared.

"Warren suggested it!" Will blinked his eyes innocently.

"I reiterate: Men."

"He means well."

"Oh yeah?"

"Uh huh, we would make sure to compost whatever we finished burning."

"How nice."

Will shot her a look.

"No."

"But freshman year!"

"Will, no!" Layla burst out laughing, "I appreciate the offer, but I don't need you to set me up with Warren Peace."

"You like him!"

"A friend."

"But think of it, Green Peace," Will grinned at his own pun, "And Hot Head."

"No, Will, no."

Layla pinched him on the shoulder.

"Why don't-"

"He's straight."

"But-"

"Layla."

Layla pouted but let the topic drop.

Half a second later.

"Best friends?" Will asked softly, half a joke, half a confirmation.

"The best of friends," Layla stated, flicking his nose with her finger for even bringing up the subject. She leaned down, a light peck on his forehead. "It was a good three years."

"The best," Will confirmed, lightly tugging on her hair as she moved away. She swatted his hand away.

They sat in companionable silence, the sound of crickets and the occasional passing car the only disruption.

"You tell your parents yet?"

"And it was so peaceful," Will complained, pursing his lips into a pout as he moved to sit up. Abruptly, Layla pushed him back down on her lap, noticeably glaring at him despite the dim light.

"You have to, Will."

"Can't we let them think that we're having a reconciliation make-out session out up here?" Will's pout did not waver.

"Will," Layla shot him a warning look while simultaneously fighting the smile that was making its way on her lips.

"You know Dad…"

"Start with your mom," Layla reasoned. "She'll understand."

Will groaned, covering his face with his arms. "I know she would, but Dad, DAD."

"It could be worse," Layla reasoned.

"Something worse than telling your superhero-father that his only superhero-son is gay?"

"You could be a villain."

"I think he would prefer that," Will stated dryly.

Layla laughed, ruffling his hairs with her fingers, "Let's brainstorm what your first diabolical act should be then."

"Borrowing Magenta's hair dye and giving Zach a makeover?" Will asked tentatively, the smirk on his face matching hers.

"Deal."
