He laughed a little, stretching again. "Alright."

Wilhelm finally turned back around to look at Connor. "Now we just need to kill time." He snorted, leaning back against the wall. He honestly had no idea how to go about it, but he wasn't ready to just sit in silence until they needed to leave.

Connor laughed again, placing his hands on the small of his back and arching backwards, his back letting out a satisfying popping sound.

Despite his reluctance, Wilhelm let silence fall and settle in between the two of them. He seemed to have finished his preening, though he was still looking in the mirror as if he were reluctant to break his own gaze. He jumped lightly at the sound of Connor's strench, though he quickly settled back into himself once more.

Connor finished stretching, sighing faintly. He glanced over at Wilhelm, wondering…a lot of things. But also wondering what it was like that people in the school…knew. That Wil was attracted to other guys. He wondered…how much shit the German boy had to face for that.

There were rumors of Wil's disposition of sorts, sure, but they were fairly unsubstantiated. Really the only people to really harp on it were the boys who were prone to rumors and gossip anyways. Not the most reliable sources, to be sure, though a few believed them. And the ones that believed the talk weren't exactly kind about it.

Wilhelm pressed the pad of his thumb to his teeth. He brought his watch up to his line of sight, checking the time. They wouldn't be leaving in too long.

Connor shook his head a little, pushing his thoughts away and sighing faintly.

Wilhelm finally moved away from the mirror, taking a seat on the very edge of his bed. He was hunched fairly severely, head resting in the cup of his palms.

He glanced over at Wilhelm for a moment, then over to the window.

"Augh. I'm still tired." He laughed a little, sitting up so he could swing his leg over and crossing his legs.

He laughed quietly. "Ah dinnae know how ta help you there."

"I know, I know. Just let me complain a little bit." Wilhelm gave a tiny snort, lightly raking his curls out of his face.

He smiled over at Wil, nodding a little bit.

He rolled a lock of hair between his fingers, holding it out in front of his face. "I need to get this cut. It's getting a little.. shaggy, I think."

"Ah think 't looks good." Connor replied, looking at him with his head cocked slightly. "But, if yeh want ta get 't cut, tha's yer choice."

"Maybe I won't, then." Wilhelm let go of the curl, letting it coil back into its natural shape. "I'll think about it, I guess."

He smiled softly, nodding a little. "O' course." he replied. "'s yer decision either way, though."

Wilhelm chewed slightly on this thumb nail. "I know, I know. Maybe I'll write home and see what my mother says." He laughed, pushing his hair off of his forehead.

He laughed. "But yeh would have t' wait a while fer an answer."

"Which gives me a nice amount of time to think about the decision. See, Connor- you have to plan these sorts of decisions." Wilhelm flopped onto his back, folding one arm behind his head while he used the other to gesture his words. "You can't just make them on a whim. They require time."

Connor shrugged a little bit. "Mm, maybe so, maybe so. But still. Making decisions on a whim can be fun."

"Sure, sometimes, but my hair takes a long time to grow back." Wilhelm lightly tugged at a thicker curl on his head. "And I take pride in my appearance, you know."

(I'm going offline for the night soon, sorry)

He hummed faintly, shrugging again. "True, true." he replied, leaning back on the bed and looking over at Wilhelm.

(it's no problem! sorry it took me so long to respond, lmao- school has been kicking my ass)

Wilhelm propped himself up with an arm, the other resting over his stomach. He checked his watch. "We should get going soon, I think."

(lmao it's fine!)

Connor nodded, pushing himself up to a standing position.
