In his quest to do a little more bonding with Will, Shy had asked if he could tag along when Will headed to the mainland to do the regular shopping to keep their home stocked. He didn't realise that Will's trips were growing more frequent since he ate so much more than either Will or Orlando, but he was happy for the chance to help spend a little money. Usually, he stayed behind with Orlando, but since his new understanding with Will, he was happy to spend some more time with him.
It had taken the better part of the day to get everything done, the reason being Will having a few more errands to run than usual, so by the time they got back to the island and unloaded all of their goodies, both men were more than ready to spend the rest of the day playing with their Boo.
Now, as Will puts away the groceries, Shy races around the cabin shouting for Orlando. "We're home! Did you miss us?"

I know who I wouldn't get drunk. My friend Patrick from back home. I got drunk with him once and he said some weird things to me and tried to kiss me. I denied what he'd done for a long time but now I can accept it. He thought I'd reciprocate.
Now as for who I would get drunk... Lemme think.

I'd get Will drunk. I've never seen him completely wasted and I'm curious what he's like that way. He'll have a couple of drinks with us or he'll have a few tokes every now and then but it's never enough for him to get sloppy or anything. If I had to guess I'd say it's because he wants to stay in control of himself and not do anything he might regret. Or maybe he doesn't want me or Orli to see him out of control because he's the sort who thinks he's the "responsible" one. I don't know. Can't say I know him well enough to take a guess. Funny how I can live with one person for all this time and still not have a clue what he's really about. It's very odd when I consider I live with someone else I feel I know like the back of my hand.
I do know that it would be funny to see Will totally relaxed. I think I'd even like him more than I already do. I'd ask him all sorts of questions and know that he'd have to tell me the truth because he wouldn't be clearheaded enough to lie to me. I'd ask him about growing up with a dad who wasn't nice to him (from what I've gathered). I'd want to know what it was like being married to a woman at the same time he realised he was gay. I'd ask him if he felt as confused as I did and still do sometimes. The part of me that likes girls is still there. But it can't let me love a girl again. Not after Andrea. I'd ask Will if that's happened to him because his ex wife is such a cow. I'd want to know if he's having me on when he says he wishes I'd give him a real chance. I want feel like I know him as well as I know Orli. I do. I want to know for certain that it'll be OK for me to love him and not regret it.
Falling for Orli shocked me. Falling for Tom blindsided me. I'm where I want to be now and I can feel one set of feelings fading away because another set is trying to come through. If I could get Will drunk maybe I could find out once and for all if I'm better off keeping it to myself.

I dunno. Maybe I should just say I'd get all my friends drunk and have a party.

Will
You write really well when you've been drinking. I can barely do it sober. I'm sorry for being cross in my last letter. I trusted you so much and you hurt me. But then I thought about it after I sent it. You trusted me too and I hurt you and Orli both. So you acted out the way I did. At least I think that's what happened.
Can three people make something like this work? I don't know the answer to that. What do you think? I'm going to write Orli. I haven't told him what you said to me. I won't do that on the phone or in a letter. But I think we should let him know. I don't want any secrets between the three of us.
It's weird to think that the both of you can feel something for me. I'm not special. But thank you both of you for making me feel that way.
Will did you mean what you said? I really want it to be true. I miss you and Orli. I want to come home.
love

Will,
When I saw the postmark on the envelope I thought Orli had written me. I tore into it and I found a letter from you. Can't say I ever expected that. Not after what you said to me. How can I answer something like that?
OK. I put down the pen and I walked away. I needed to think about this. I'm kinda mad Will. You tear me a new one and then try to make up. How is it supposed to make me feel if you say one thing and then take it back? How do I know I'm not gonna be turned in the next time you get pissed with me? How can you write me and act like you love me or something when you act like you hate me too?
You're good at talking. I know people like you. They say what they think someone wants to hear. It gets them out of trouble. A lot of people fall for it. How do I know if you're only trying to be nice so Orli won't be mad at you? I don't.
I can't love you. But I won't hate you. Orli loves you. Seeing the way you treat him I can understand it. If you treated me the way you treat him I could probably do the same. But I don't know what to believe from you. Maybe if you can explain how you can be horrible to me one second and nice the next I'll get it. And I don't buy the reason you gave me. Come up with something else.

Shy stared into the fire, the red and orange flames absolutely mesmerising as they licked at the log Will had just put on. It was New Year's Eve, and while Orlando and Will chatted warmly about their plans for the upcoming year, Shy found himself reflecting on the events of the past year. In the last twelve months, he'd lost a love, taken a life, left behind his home and family and ventured into a new world to find new friends and loved ones waiting for him. It was enough to make his head spin and that confusion was why he chose not to dwell for too long on his past. What was done was done. That was the way he had to think about things now. The last year of his life had been a whirlwind of joy and pain, and the only way he'd be able to move forward would be to let go of everything and everyone he loved in his old life. Everyone except his mum, of course.
"Did we lose you?" Will asked, snapping his fingers in front of Shy's face.
"What?" Shy smiled and shook his head. "No, didn't lose me. Just thinking about a few things."
"Thinking's overrated," Will laughed and grabbed his hand. "Come on, the countdown's starting and I know someone who wants kisses from both of us at midnight."
As the cheering crowds on the television counted down the final seconds of the old year, Shy looked at the two men in front of him. He knew that he could have hope about whatever lay ahead and for that he'd be more grateful than they'd ever know.

Clubbing!!!!
Nov. 10th, 2007 09:42 pmUsually Shy hates going out to clubs, but that's because he's never gone out with anyone he likes as much as Orlando and Will. When they reach one of the hottest gay clubs in the city, Shy can't help feeling excited and nervous all at once. The music's so loud and it's so packed, he feels a moment's panic and grabs Orli's hand as they work their way inside. He wants to feel as if he's got an anchor so he doesn't get swept up in it.
"Can we get drinks?" he shouts to Orli over the din of the music.
