August (f) & Oliver (m)
He fidgeted with the silver box in his pocket, waiting anxiously for the right time to turn around the corner to her home. The small blinking screen that displayed the time in his car finally flicked to 5:30 PM, and he put the car in motion, pulling around the block and into her driveway. She stood out front of the house, pearly smile lighting up her face as he stepped out of the car and held open the passenger door for her. His heart swelled at the sight of her. She had never looked lovelier, in a velvety red holiday dress tied with a sprig of holly, and bronze hair in a delicate braid.
“M’lady, I cannot put in words how beautiful you are,” he held the door with one hand and reached out to her with the other. Her smile widened and she took his hand, blushing as he leaned down to kiss her hand. As he pulled away, she stood on her toes to wrap her pale arms around his neck.
“Ollie, you are the sweetest guy I’ve ever met,” she whispered in his ear, then stepped back again to share another brief smile with him. His hand drew immediately to his pocket, thick fingers wrapping around the silver box, but she slid into the passenger’s seat before he could pull it out.
Oliver sighed. Not yet, wait until after dinner. He told himself firmly, walking around to the driver’s side and starting the car. “August, are you sure you’re up to dinner with the company? I mean, it’s Christmas Eve, and I wouldn’t mind dinner with your family…”
“No.” August replied tersely, then looked down guiltily. “I’d rather attend the company dinner. You shouldn’t have to deal with my family.”
Oliver put his hand on her leg, glancing over to give her a thin smile. “You shouldn’t have to deal with them either. I know you keep saying you won’t, but I truly think you’d be happier if you moved in with me-“
“Oliver, I don’t want to be a burden to you, honestly. Don’t worry about me,” Her sparkling green eyes turned shyly up at his face. His gold-rimmed olive eyes flicked back to the road as she looked up at him. August brushed the dark brown hair that peeked out from his knitted winter hat out of his face and pouted at him. “Please don’t be mad at me.”
He sighed, grabbing her raised hand and holding it to his cheek while holding the wheel with his other hand. “I could never be mad at you.” Oliver’s mind went back to that box in his jacket pocket. He wanted so badly to be with her forever, but it was still the wrong time to ask. He forced his mind back to the road, and neither of them talked until he parked his car along the road in front of their manager’s house and joined the rest of their coworkers from the agency for the annual holiday party.
I might continue, if anyone likes it. xD It'll get better, I've got stuff to do though so I had to stop short. ^-^

This is kind of lengthy and a bit talky, but... I'd like to hear what you guys think. owo;
Willy --- Reece
They had grown up together, under a soft canopy of overprotective parents and teachers. Willy was the rambunctious of the two, wild blue eyes fogging his conscience while he played pranks and tricks. Reece was calmer, a bit more collected, and a little nervous. Like a lost puppy, one would guess, even though his parents were the most exploratory of them all.
But exploring came with a price.
"Mom... What are the boxes for?" His ten-year old body feared the worst. His eyes fell. "Mom...?"
A sigh. "Dearie, we're going to move." Whipping her bangs from her face, she continued. "I'm sorry, but some things just have to happen, right?"
"Mom! No!" He rushed around, gold eyes shivering. His small hands clawed at the boxes, trying to unlock their own goods from the chest. "I can't leave, I can't leave Willy alone, Mom..." Tears; hot, sticky tears flooded his cheeks as he continued to claw, but he was losing strength and gaining fatigue.
Her hands reached for his shoulders. "Honey, it's not like he's going to disappear too."
But it seemed like he did, now that a grown up Reece was standing alone in the park of the old town. His chest heaved up and down; his eyes, however, were stuck ahead. Not a tree rustled, not a bird chirped: they all shared the silence. Running loose fingers through his hair like his mom used too, he sighed a sigh like hers as well. It had been an odd ten-or-so years without Willy, but Reece had made friends, but none as good.
A cough. A footstep.
"Reece?" It almost sounded... Annoyed. "Is that even you?"
He flipped around, breaking the silence, to see his old pal. "Willy!" He ran for a hug, but the dull-eyed man raised a brow and awkwardly stepped away.
"Urm, yes, Will... It's W-Will now." While his appearance was sharp, his voice was not. He was wearing a dark suit, and the whole ensemble was complete with a briefcase.
Reece slowly nodded. "Will." He stuck out a hand. "Nice to see you again." You're not the only one who can play important, Will.
"The same to you, old pal." He stepped back again. "Just, eh, visiting?"
Reece's hand toyed with a clunky bracelet. "I guess. I don't really have a place to stay anywhere, so I am taking my stay at the hotel." His voice made Will flinch, but Reece flinched as well.
"I see. Well, please enjoy your stay, Reece. I have to be off now." His long, lean legs stalked off into the park, briefcase swinging along.
"Goodbye, Will, goodbye again."
_____________
Hallowed sobs echoed in the small cottage; he was face down with his arms curled under his face. The desk only amplified the noise, making his ears ring with bitterness. "I..." He choked. "Messed up big time..." Dragging his head up, he smeared tears away from his blue eyes. His suit jacket lay rumpled on the floor, thrown in an angry fit. His white oxford shirt was crinkled and rolled up at the sleeves; two buttons were undone, and a third just barely hung on. Will's arms trembled, his legs ached, and his hair was a clean-cut mess.
A knock. A knock.
"Will? Will...?" A woman's voice chimed from the door. "I'm coming in." His girlfriend swung the door open, and her heels clacked across the wooden floor. Her eyes caught him immediately. "Babe, you look terrible!"
He glanced at her soft features, but could only wince. He wanted sharpness. "Thanks for the compliment."
"Here baby, let me just wipe this away..."
And it continued. She ran around the house, gathering this and this and--oh, that--before she returned.
"We have to talk." He breathed, but as she opened her mouth, he quickly spoke again. "It's over."
Backing away slowly, tears began to arrange themselves in her eyes. Expression aghast-stricken, she tossed the numerous first-aid items at him before bolting out of the door. Too easy...
His head slammed back on the desk, and he got that sticky feeling again. Struggling to reach his bed, he collapsed on it. "Sweet salvation," Will's breathing was labored. "Sweet, succulent... Re--...salvation..." He drew his knees to his chest, shuddered lightly, and managed to fall asleep.
Upon waking, Will dragged himself to the kitchen and made a small pot of coffee. His eyes were still warm, and a bit red, but they did their job so he payed no matter to them. They flickered to the phone--he did know the inn's phone number by heart--but he wavered to the table with a wry smile. He knew Reece wasn't at the hotel. Studying the phone again, he snatched it from its stoop, and punched the number in.
_____________
His fingers tap-tap-tapped at the granite surface as he waited. Golden eyes flickering across the room, he noticed it was fairly barren. A few souls sat here, sat there, but for the most part the place was hollow. Reece cupped his hands around the warm mug, and brought it up for a kiss. The coffee here was phenomenal, but its price tag was hefty for a single cup.
A bell rang as the door was flung open; his footsteps didn't clack-clack like usual--he had switched the business shoes for a pair of sneakers. His hair was ruffled and messy, as was his attire, but it felt good. Really good. The eyes were bright and his heart was thumping, but with a lick of the lips he was cruising down the aisle to meet his friend.
"You sure do clean up well, bucko." Reese laughed, staying still after. "What happened to you?"
His elbows were slanted on the table, creating a pedestal for his chin. "I realized what I was missing, Reece... And aren't you looking sharp, all dolled up in that suit?"
Reece consciously looked down, and forced his hands to smooth his shirt. "Well, I figured--"
"Fight business with business?"
Their chuckles filled the shop; they laughed and laughed until the clerks laughed a bit too, and the other workers as well.
But suddenly, Will stopped, and his eyes sunk into Reece's. "I'm so sorry, Reece."
"Don't be." A content smile drifted across his face. "Please, Willy."
Will laughed. "Willy. That's me, Reece." And they laughed again; telling jokes from when they were kids, the chortles only got louder. They sat deep into the evening, laughing more.
"Reece, you're pretty funny, eh?"
"You don't have to tell me." He brushed a lock away from the blue eyes of the other boy. "And I mean don't, Willy."
He leaned in, and Willy took note of his sharp features: sharp eyes, sharp nose, sharp lips.
They were lovely...
