Will

The best thing about coffee shop social media, if you were Nate Harris, was that you could use it to get laid. It was even making hookups with old hookup friends, like Elspeth, more efficient! Thank you, Phoenix Effect!

Tonight, though, wasn't about Elspeth. It was about cute, awkward Will. When Nate got an invitation, he took it seriously, after some address-themed DMs, Nate was on his way to Will's place. He knocked when he reached the door, stood back with his hands in his pockets, and whistled pleasantly, nonchalantly, as he waited. Tonight was a great night to be Nate.

Will wasn't being entirely facetious when he said Nate alarmed him. There was something about Nate that felt weird, a little off. Not even in a bad way, necessarily, but in a way that kept Will on his toes, or on edge, or very aware of something he couldn't pinpoint, however one wanted to put it.

But he still liked Nate. Nate was cute, and they had had fun that one time they hooked up, and Nate always made heart eyes at Will over the bar when he was working and Will and Lib were there drinking, and those were all good things in Will's mind. So yeah, he invited Nate over, and he tried not to get too antsy while he waited for the knock.

When it came, it thankfully wasn't followed by any Kool Aid Man antics that would lose Will his security deposit, which Will didn't take for granted. "Hey," he greeted Nate with his usual slightly-sheepish smile. "Thanks for not busting down my door SWAT style."
