Professor of Interrogation Magic
William stepped outside of the school, he didn't have any classes for the rest of the day so he was more than fine with stepping out and relaxing. He was still quite melancholy from the conversation a few minutes ago with Belmont "Feeling useless...." he muttered to himself before walking under the veranda and sitting at the table there, resting his head in his hand as he stared ahead blankly into the tree line, not really quite all there at the moment "..." his thoughts inevitably drifted off to his former lover Robin and their untimely demise. They'd been so tender and loving, they made William feel so at ease that he thought he had found true happiness. But then it was all taken from him so quickly all because of some hit made by a spiteful gang who were pissed at him. They didn't deserve what happened to them...the hit should have been on him, at least then someone worthwhile wouldn't have died. William was beginning to fall back into an old rut he couldn't help but find himself in from time to time if he started to think too deeply into his former lover.

William had been far too wrapped up in his own thoughts and emotions to really be too aware of what was going on around him. Not exactly the best thing ever, especially during the current situation but he was sure the head Guard would be able to handle this. William had been so deep in his own head that he was quite literally startled when he heard someone else speak. His head would snap up as his brown gaze stared at the other man across from him and felt like a stone had fallen right in his gut. He had seen that Nicholas had been made the head councilor but knowing the others magic and his specialty, William had actively been avoiding every chance he could "Hello Nicholas...it has been awhile hasn't it?" he quickly tried hiding any of his turbulent thoughts and feelings behind a calm and cool façade. He had to get out of this situation as soon as possible, it wasn't that he hated the other man, far from it in fact! But William hated people knowing what was going on in his heart and this man was one of the better users of Emotional Magic that he'd met. Still though he couldn't just be rude and let the other know that he was actively avoiding him "Yeah...nice to see you too..." how could he get out of this? What if he was reading his emotions right now?! William felt his anxiety spike to unreasonable levels as his leg began bouncing uncontrollably and he strummed his fingers along the top of the table. <********! He could probably sense his anxiety! That realization only made everything worse for Will as he began looking everywhere but Nicholas at this moment "H..Head councilor now...right? Congrats..." his attempt at casual conversation was pathetic at best, William was good at hiding his emotions behind a mask. However it was when that mask could be seen though with emotional magic that he began to crack under the pressure of it all. His stomach was in knots and he felt like he was going to throw up from the anxiety mixing with distressed feelings about his late lover. Finally it became too much for William as he quickly stood up from the table "I...I really should go...see you..." this was his only chance as William hoped he could make it away from Nicholas, especially knowing that his heart was being laid bare for the other man to feel.

William simply ended up giving a small nod to the others comment with no vocal affirmation. He had tried hard to keep a cool façade up but it ended up failing miserably once he realized that with all people it was utterly pointless with Nicholas whom was able to see right through it. And so William did what he did best, he tried to run away from the problem and ignore it. However it seemed luck was not on his side as the other man ended up grabbing his arm, stopping his only chance at escape. ********. William just stood there biting his lip as the anxiety he was dealing with was only getting worse and worse as he stood there staring at the ground and let a deep and shaky sigh after he asked William if he was scared of him "...Yes...but not for the reason you may think..." William took a deep breath and slowly turned to Nicholas as his tired gaze met the others "A lot happened in six years...these days...I like to keep how I'm feeling to myself..." he began "I like to keep my emotions hidden...and I can't do that with you...not with your magic...you can see right past any mask..." William finished explaining before sighing a bit and shaking his head "Don't take it personally, I'm pretty ******** up honestly...heh" he stated with a slight at himself "Please don't ask me to explain what happened either..." he knew this man was empathetic and the fact he was the head councilor of the school meant he would end up seeing a lot more of him.

William shook his head at the others comment and let out his own little sigh "I wasn't suggesting that you were again me, it's just that I. . . I don't like people knowing how I actually feel. I avoid anyone I know has emotional magic. . ." he would explain to the other man with a small shake of the head once again. He really was telling the truth, It was nothing against Nicholas himself, it all had to do with what magic he wielded and how badly William avoided people with that type of magic. Will would then let out a small sigh of relief when the other man informed him that he wasn't going to ask him about what happened or why he was feeling the way he did. That was a huge relief to William as his shoulders visibly stopped sagging at the very least. As long as Nicholas didn't pry then Will could tolerate being around him despite his emotional magic for the most part, it wasn't like Nicholas was bad company so far. Will would then shake his head once more when Nicholas apologized for not staying in touch with him "People drift apart, it's a part of life. Don't worry about it" he explained to the other, beginning to feel his anxiety ebbing away now that he knew the other man wouldn't dig for information or force him to talk about or explain anything.
However William would be given a curveball when Nicholas seemed to want to do more of the opening up and explained that he and his former boyfriend Cas had adopted a child when the boyfriend was still alive "Oh.." then hearing what ended up happening to him caused Will to reach out and sympathetically pat the other man on the shoulder "I'm sorry to hear that, it must be hard not being able to see your kid..." now all his anxiety was gone as he now simply felt a touch of pity. William would never be able to sympathize with the idea of having a kid most likely as he believed his blood and family name was cursed and as such, the name and family line would end with him. William would then place both his hands on Nicholas's shoulders to steady him "You aren't in that life anymore Nick, you're the head councilor now at one of the most prestigious schools in the world. You won't be going back to that life" he would go on and reassure him. It was so funny how not even a few minutes ago William was having a near mental breakdown but now here he was being the one to reassure the other man, it showed just how easy it was for Will to shift between the two moods.

William had taken note of that slight flinch, the movement was subtle but to his trained gaze he was able to quickly pick up on it. It showed slight discomfort at being touched in any way which was fair for the life this man had lived up until this point. However suddenly the man hugging himself had the reddish brown eyes widening in surprise, what was...oh no...he hadn't. Immediately William took a step back as the other man literally doubled over as if he were in real, genuine pain and not just feeling the emotions roaring though the former detective. The anxiety came back with vengeance as Will felt utterly metaphorically naked, the one thing he held closest, his emotions were laid bare for the other man to feel and experience. This was a nightmare as far as he was concerned. Will remained utterly silent as the other man spoke and tried to explain that he wasn't trying, that it was reflex but William just stood there silently with his arms stiffly at his side, staring down at the ground. What else could he do right now? His feet felt like they had lead blocks tied to them keeping him from moving, truthfully it was just the horror knowing that this man knew how William truly felt. Then Nicholas finally ended up asking the million dollar question and William instinctively folded his arms over his chest and glanced away, shaking his head a bit "Too much..." he barely whispered as he kept his eyes downcast and away from Nicholas. It absolutely ate him up knowing that someone else quite literally understood how he felt "I...I don't want to talk about it..." the words, the story, everything in his life. He just wished that he could forget it all and...and he would lightly shake his head to himself. No, he didn't want to forget it all. To forget it all would mean he was coming down with the exact same condition as his Father, he didn't want that. He didn't want to forget "I'm sorry...you felt that...now you know why I've avoided you since you first got here..." he explained his reasoning for completely avoiding Nicholas by any means necessary.

William gave a small and wry chuckle before shaking his head a little bit as Nicholas pointed out that the pain he dealt with was enormous "Tell me something I don't know..." to say the least William knew that he was ******** up in every way possible and his emotional status was unstable to say the least. He would then sigh a bit as the other man took the blame for what he'd experienced and William simply didn't say anything at that moment. He just felt exhausted now, the fact that someone else genuinely knew what was going on behind the mask he usually wore made him horribly uneasy. For some people when someone could genuinely understand how they felt it made them feel better, but for William he just felt awful. He didn't want people to understand how he felt because that would mean experiencing the agony and pain that he dealt with on a daily basis and he wouldn't wish that on anybody. However the interrogation professor would blink in surprise when the other man inquired about his love for coffee which distracted him from his current musings "Well of course" he stated as his mind was now on his favorite drink at that moment before blinking as the other offered to buy him coffee and William would stare for a moment before letting out a small laugh "Good way to distract me Nick, I'll take you up on that offer" Will certainly wouldn't turn down free coffee and William would motion for the other man to lead "I usually brew my own coffee so lead the way" he stated with a small smile, wishing that he could just not worry about the past but at least this would serve as a nice distraction.

It was still kind of bright so it was better to be safe than sorry. Once she was under the pavilion, she folded up the parasol and sat down on the bench. She took out her phone and started to text her daughter. "Are you home?" it didn't take it to long for her to get a reply. "Yes. Are you coming home?" "Yes, I'll be home tonight. Dinner is in the fridge. Warm it up in the oven. Love you sweetheart." Of course she had 'borrowed' one of the extra phones and gave it to her daughter to make sure that she was okay when she got home from school. She hated that she needed to work for so long in order to provide, but it was as it was. She leaned back and let out a sigh, taking a small break from work. ☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲☲

William chuckled a little bit at the other man's comment as the anxiety and gloom that hung over him had once more as his mind was taken off the current situation thanks to the others teasing. Nick always did have a good ability to make him smile "Mmhmm you bet it does, I can't do stale coffee these days unless I'm desperate" he lightly joked with the other man "Trust me, if you start brewing your own coffee you'd never go back yourself" there was something nice and calming about brewing your own coffee. Once you got used to it there was a sense of peace with the control you have over the motions you went though to get a stellar product like home brewed coffee, he especially loved grinding his own beans. William would then blink in surprise upon hearing Nicholas's comment and the much shorter 5'9 man would look up and examine the other man's face for a moment. Nicholas was far more different than than he remembered, Will remembered when this person with him was a hardened man, cold and a touch distant sometimes. The man he was looking at now looked genuinely happy and his friendliness didn't seemed at all forced like it once did. This made William happy as his gaze lingered on Nick's face for a few moments longer before training his eyes forward once again. He liked this new Nick. (EXIT)
