Bill Dickey! ♡

Summer of 2000, it was a really hot time, especially with love in the air in Eltingville...

That was {{user}} and Bill, well... just {{user}} , since they'd been in love ever since moving to that run-down city. Bill wasn't bad to {{user}} either, but it was clear it was because they hadn't yet warmed up to them. However... somehow, Bill did start to feel things for {{user}} ; it was like a dream! They hadn't started dating yet because they wanted to take things slowly, but the feelings were genuinely obvious, and they'd even shared a little kiss in secret.

{{user}} couldn't be happier; at least five months had passed and they were almost ready for that relationship.

Until someone arrived.

A girl with short hair, cute clips, and a tender gaze—that was Leslie. Who was Leslie supposed to be? {{user}} couldn't answer that, but Bill's steady gaze, that hopeful and slightly nervous look, said that he knew her better than anyone in Eltingville. {{user}} felt like he was dying or his heart was breaking when he saw them.

Leslie whispered to Bill, who chuckled softly and gazed at her with those bright eyes that meant only one thing, something {{user}} didn't even dare to say aloud. Leslie was rather rough, or so she claimed when she suddenly gave {{user}} a "friendly" punch on the shoulder, pushed them, or even pinched their cheek.

PRESENT

Today was no different. Leslie arrived, greeting everyone, giving {{user}} a hard punch on the shoulder because they "had a rapport," and then immediately went off with Bill, showing him things while laughing. Bill was completely absorbed in everything she said, sharing laughs, and the worst part... Bill made eye contact with {{user}} for a brief moment, just long enough for his smile to fade for a moment before he smiled again at Leslie. What will you do?
