summary: billy and eddie come back from date night and eddie asks about the sigil. to distract him they kiss but that distraction goes a different way - eddie decides he wants to tell him he loves him and billy hears it. he breaks it off to tell him the truth: that he died and doesn't think he's really william kaplan. eddie wants to know who he thinks he is.

Clip Link It's 4 minutes, so nice and easy.

Technically 2 seconds at the beginning are cut out that's just, "I had fun tonight." "Me too." I'm too lazy to fix this.

- Date night with Eddie.
- Eddie asks about the sigil (a small piece of wood painted with a symbol) William carries and if it has meaning.
- Embarrassed, William tries to say a sigil just a puzzle that means nothing. Technically, he's already figured out that it's something that can hide something from others and has to be broken at a specific time. It's a puzzle because he does not know why he has it or what it means.
- He takes Eddie's hand to get him out of that so Eddie decides it's kissing time!!!
- Mid kiss Eddie starts to think about how he wants to tell him he loves him. Specifically, "William Kaplan I love you." This freaks him out, for different reasons than you might expect.
- He tries to explain it to him by saying that three years ago he died and came back different, "something more". And that he's not William Kaplan not entirely and he wants Eddie to know who he is, the real him, because he's the only thing that's made him feel normal and... because He loves him too.
- Eddie is in fact really cool about all of this if a little stunlocked and repeats the "too?" part so William flails and says he loves him period.
- A lil more kissing and Eddie asks the question: If you're not William who are you
- OKAY SO THIS IS NOT SHOWN BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND BILLY GETS FEW HAPPY MEMORIES. THIS IS IT THIS IS HIS ONLY ONE. SO. WHEN THEY ENTER THE HOUSE THEY DO NOT ESCAPE THE KAPLANS. JEFF KAPLAN MUST TRIED TO FEED ALL BILLYS BOYFRIENDS EVEN AFTER THEY JUST CAME BACK FROM A DATE. ANYWAYS. The Kaplans are perfect parents. They're very doting. They great the boys in, ask how things were, offer them desert. ETC. They very clearly love their son. They very clearly love his boyfriend and everything in this interaction (tho it'd be short) is so, so easy. And William is happy tho ..... obviously there's some lingering guilt like [ he is not their real son ] do not look at it too hard he loves them and he [ is who he is because that's what they needed him to be ] DON'T LOOK AT IT TOO HARD IT'S JUST CUTE FAMILY FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES.
- And then the boys go upstairs and you learn that William's entire floor is just........ a mess of research. OOCly for Phoenix he more-or-less gets a Westview incident information dump and some like witchy and general Earth lore. Because most of that only makes sense in this scene and the follow up. Anyone viewing it can learn that the Avengers are a superhero group. He's in a superhero world. With witchcraft.
- William explains he's been researching about this and trying to find someone to talk to and he found someone to talk to... He's a weird man on the internet he's never met named Bohnerific69. Eddie is judging him, I'm adorably trusting?

Stay tuned for Date Night 2 the next day (it'll go so well)
