"I didn't expect the person she was referring to was you." Adrien says to him one time he and Adrien were visiting the new flat. "But then again, her description of the person she loves resembles you a lot, William."

"Ufufufu... Is that so?" He smiled a little before drinking his coffee. Just then, Edward knocked on the door.

"Yo, I'll be taking Holmes outside to buy some stuffs. You guys are awfully barren here. Do you guys want anything?"

"Something that we could plug in our ears would help." Sherlock mumbled as he took his coat.

However, the rest of them heard it, and Adrien choked on his coffee, his face extremely red before glaring at Edward. The latter was merely whistling at the side as he avoided his glare.

William was the calmest one and commented nothing.

Adrien took a deep breath. "Ed, you lying-"

"All right, we're leaving. Bye. I'll bring some bread later."

And with that Edward left while dragging Sherlock with him. As soon as he left, Adrien let out a groan.

"Dammit..." He was covering his red face. "Um... Did you two... Really... Hear it...?"

William mentally smiled in amusement but he just cleared his throat. He knew what he means but in order not to embarrass the man any more, he decided to be frank about it. "We do. If it's near the wall, that is."

Adrien slumped with a gloomy aura above him.

"I'm going to kill him." He said underneath his breath.

"Did he lie to you, perhaps, regarding the walls of the apartment?"

"That guy said that it's all right to make a noise because the wall is thick enough and the people from the other room can't hear it. And like a fool, I believed him." He sighed exasperatingly. "Why did I love that idiot to begin with..."

"Ufufufu. That's how Edward is, isn't it? You cannot help but love him for who he is." William tells him. "Normally, you're aloof and calm but, it seems he's the one that brings out your real feelings."

William could understand that feeling quite well and a certain brunette entered his mind.

"I... I suppose." Adrien says before drinking his remaining coffee. "When you love someone, I suppose... It's fine to be more honest and vulnerable when you're around them. Don't you agree, William?"

"Yes... Elise said the same thing." William looked down and made a fist. "But... I didn't. I was too afraid to be more honest around her, because she would never approve of the final plan. I wanted to stay by her side. But, the person I was once could never bring his self to touch her after all the sins I made."

"Yet she keeps accepting you, doesn't she?"

"...Yes... It's painful how kind she is. It feels like I don't deserve her at all... Given what I had done before I left as well..."

Adrien sighed and leaned back on his chair. "We all have that kind of thoughts, William. Well, my case may not be yours but... Let me tell you a little about Ed."

"Achoo!!"

Edward rubbed his nose with some handerkerchief from his pockets as Sherlock was browsing for their food supply.
