?WilliamEst Oneshots?

The drive to the group house was tense, filled with heavy silence. Est had his arms crossed the entire time, his jaw clenched, refusing to look at William. William didn’t push him. He knew Est was furious—but that was fine.

As long as he was safe.

When they finally pulled up to the group house, William barely had time to put the car in park before Est was already tensing beside him.

William sighed, reaching to unlock the car.

The moment the door lock clicked open, Est bolted.

"Est—!" William shouted, but Est was already out, sprinting toward the front gate.

William cursed under his breath, slamming his door shut and chasing after him.

Est was fast, his desperation giving him an edge. He reached the metal gate, hands gripping the top as he scrambled to pull himself over. His feet kicked against the bars as he hoisted himself up—

Only for strong hands to grab him by the waist and yank him back down.

"NO—!" Est thrashed as William caught him, locking his arms around him like a steel cage. "LET GO, YOU PSYCHO!"

"Not happening," William gritted out, his grip tightening as Est fought against him. "You really thought you could outrun me?"

Est elbowed him hard in the ribs, but William barely flinched.

"God, you’re annoying!" Est growled, still struggling.

William only sighed, easily lifting Est off the ground. "And you’re exhausting," he muttered, carrying him back toward the house.

Est thrashed harder, but William didn’t let go. "This is abuse!"

"Uh-huh."

"I’m calling the cops!"

William snorted. "Go ahead. Let’s see how that conversation plays out—‘Hello, officer, my ex is trying to take care of me, arrest him immediately!’"

Est let out a frustrated yell, his body sagging in William’s arms. He was still breathing hard, but his struggling slowed.

William took that as a victory.

The front door opened before they even reached it, and Lykn stood there, eyebrows raised.

"Should I even ask?" Lykn drawled, watching the way Est was draped over William’s arms like a disgruntled cat.

William exhaled. "Nope."

Lykn shrugged. "Alright then. Welcome home, Est."

Est groaned, burying his face in William’s shoulder.

This was going to be a long night.
