will took a deep breath before stuffing his phone into his pocket. he looked into his rearview mirror to make sure his face was alright and his hair looked good. when he was satisfied with the way he looked, he opened up the car door and got out.
he felt like an 11-year-old walking up to his crush's front door to pick her up to go to the movies. he was so nervous he wasn't even sure if he was walking or floating. he floated his way up the steps and then lifted his right hand to the doorbell. he pressed on it once and heard the sound ring through the entire house.
through the door, will heard sabrina say, "i'll get it!" and the pitter-patter of ravioli's feet. while he was waiting, he looked around to see all the cool little sticky hands on the window. he had a feeling that sabrina had something to do with them.
a few moments later he felt the cool air from inside on him before he turned his head to see the girl he had been wishing to see ever since louis' party.
"hi," will said as a smile appeared on his face.
"hi," sabrina responded as she smiled back. they stood there for a few moments before avri and exton came and stood next to sabrina.
"sab, who's that?" exton asked as he pointed at will. will looked down at the two little downey's, and then up at sabrina. sabrina nodded as to give him the okay to introduce himself. will squatted down so that he could be at their height.
"hi i'm william. my friends call me will, but you can call me either. i don't mind," will said. exton and avri looked up at sabrina for comfort and she pushed them both forward.
"my name is avri. i don't know if you're sab's friend but they also call me little a," avri said as she studied will's face.
will laughed at the last sentence before replying, "nice to meet you avri." will turned to exton and he was a little timider.
"i'm exton and my friends just call me exton. sab's friends call me little e to match with avri but don't call me that yet because i don't know you that much yet," exton told him matter-of-a-factly. will looked up at sabrina and she was trying to stifle a laugh.
"nice to meet you as well exton," will said with a little smile.
"alright let's let will into the house. i promise he's a good one," sabrina said as will stood back up to full height. exton and avri moved from the door to give will space to get in and will stepped into the downey home.
"is he your boyfriend?" exton asked suddenly. just as he said that, robert rounded the corner with a cup of coffee in his hand. sabrina quickly covered his mouth and robert stopped in his tracks.
"oooooooooooo," avri said as she covered her mouth. exton stifled a laugh from under sabrina's hand. will was turning red by the second and his hands were getting sweaty. this is not how he wanted the meeting to go.
"sabrina, let go of your brother," robert said as he set his coffee down on a table. sabrina let go of exton and him and avri ran to around the corner where they could watch the encounter.
"you must be will," robert said as he eyed up will. sabrina turned around to exton and mouthed "you're in big trouble" before turning back around.
"will or william. whatever you prefer," will said as he stood up straight.
"well what do you prefer?" robert asked as he stepped closer to will.
"will? william? franklyn? that's not even my name. sorry. maybe-," will rambled on.
"will stop talking. dad, he's not my boyfriend. stop scaring him, please," sabrina said as she rolled her eyes. robert continued to stare right into will's eyes and soul before sabrina walked over and pushed him. robert began cracking up.
will released a big breath he didn't even know he was holding. robert just kept laughing.
"oh my that was great! you were funnier than louis! sweating beads!" robert exclaimed as he walked over to will and stuck his hand out for a shake, "nice to meet you franklyn!"
will accepted the shake and joined into the laughter before saying, "yeah you got me pretty good."
they let go of their handshake and robert picked up his coffee once more.
"dad, you're a nut. will, come meet my mom. she's way nicer," sabrina said as she grabbed will's arm and began leading him into the kitchen.
"hey i am not mean! you just have a terrible sense of humor!" robert shouted from his office.
"whatever!" sabrina shouted back, "sorry about that by the way."
"it's fine. i was about to tell exton 'someday' but your dad came in and all confidence i had was lost," will responded. sabrina hit him.
"good thing my dad scared you then. you got humbled," sabrina said as she rolled her eyes.
"someday, the boyfriend talk will be real though," will said as he looked at sabrina with a knowing look.
"i beg to differ. now get ready for my mom's," sabrina answered as they got to the kitchen.
"will! it's so nice to meet you!" susan exclaimed. sabrina let go of will's arm, looked at him and gave him a smirk. exton and avri were sitting at the island-building a puzzle and saw the whole thing. they 100% thought will and sabrina were dating.
susan put her tea down on the island and walked around to give will a hug. will hugged her back and smiled. susan gave good hugs.
"nice to meet you too! i've heard a lot about you and your tea," will said as they pulled away.
"yes of course. you two sit down. before you go to brunch, i want you guys to try this new ginger tea i got," susan said as she walked to the tea pot. sabrina and will sat down across from exton and avri.
"mom you have like 8 different ginger teas," sabrina said as she took a puzzle piece and connected it.
"yeah well now i have one more," susan said as she turned around to the cupboard to get mugs.
will leaned over to sab and whispered, "can't wait for the tea trying every time i come by with my future mother-in-law,"
"i'm gonna kick you out," sabrina whispered back.
"you'd never. you know you l-," will started before susan said.
"what are you two whispering about back there?" susan asked as she put two mugs down on the island.
"oh nothing. will just said after we're done being out for the day that he want to come by and try the nighttime tea too," sabrina said with a smirk.
"well of course you can!" susan exclaimed as she grabbed the kettle and began pouring hot water.
"gonna be the highlight of the whole day," will said with a smile on his face.
"ravioli! come here!" sabrina exclaimed. a few moments later ravioli appeared in the kitchen. he immediately saw will and ran to where he was sitting and smelled him. when he decided he was good enough, he jumped on him.
"hello ravio. you're such a good boy. so so cute," will said as he scratched ravioli's head. ravioli licked will's right eye and exton and avri laughed.
"he's jumpy. ravioli relax," susan said before pushing the cups of tea toward the two. will shifted ravioli to his left leg and picked up the mug. he took a sip and his eyes widened. it was actually good.
"this is.. hold on i need another sip," will said before taking another sip, "this is pretty amazing mrs. downey."
"so glad a brit approves!" susan exclaimed.
"mom no way you just said that," sabrina said as she took a sip of her mug.
"what? he is a brit. and brits know a lot about tea," susan said as she shrugged.
"i think we need to take this tea to go," sabrina said.
