How to Hurt Mr Invulnerable
His dad keeps suggesting play-offs in the sanctum, but Will turns him down. He spends awkward, quiet days at school - Zack and Ethan don't know what to say. He'd normally ask his oldest friend's advice on something like this. His mom keeps plying him with food and drinks, but almost the only time Will eats is at the Paper Lantern, and he doesn't even like Chinese food. Warren is always busy, which just leaves fortune cookies, and Will doesn't need them to tell him that he has a Layla-shaped gap in his life and he doesn't know why. For weeks, he walks though his life in a daze, not knowing why she ended things with him, looking as if she was about to cry.
'It's not working out, it's not enough.' Those were her words and they make no sense, but he can't ask her why.
It's only the night he lands outside the Lantern and sees a couple kissing in the shadows, wrapped up in each other, fitting perfectly together, that her words finally cut into him. Warren's hands are around her back, inches below her hair, and Layla's kissing him back with the abandon of the first time.
End.
Feedback – yes, please.
