what happened during those years?

Chapter 46

-no one-

Ah yes..
It's a normal day in Hurricane Utah
The birds were chirping
People walking on the sidewalk
Dead children in dumpsters
Parents wondering where there children went
Police investigating
And lastly..
Liam in the kitchen cooking food for his lovely husba- i mean boyfriend.

Danny is drawing on a piece of paper in the kitchen while William sits next to him.
William watches as Danny draws a..duck?fish?
I don't know
The sound of Liam mixing ingredients fills the kitchen as William keeps an eye on him.

"See William,i can cook"
"Mhm sure"
"You should let me cook more often"
"I will if you don't burn the stove again"
"Pfft don't worry Will,i won't burn the stove again"
"Yeah,we'll see about that"

-William-

I felt a tug on my sleeve as look over to Danny.
"What's wrong bud?"
He showed the drawing to me as i tried my  best to keep a straight face.

"I.."
Don't laugh
Don't laugh
"That looks amazing buddy!wow you should be an artist"
'really?'
"Mhm"i nodded as i tried my best not to laugh.
He smiles and runs off to the living room.

Once he was out of sight,i quickly burst into laughter.
"I- i can't!"
"Geez William is it really that bad"
"No no- it wasn't that bad- it's just- looks odd thats all-"i said in between laughs.
"Yeah I'm definitely going to see his drawing later"
"You- you better not laugh"
"Depends on how bad it is"

"Alright William,im finally done with the batter"
"Well let's see how it tastes"
He takes a spoon of it as he looks hesitant.
"Well here goes nothing"
He shoves the whole thing in his mouth before spitting it out on the sink.

"Oh my god!why the f*ck is it so salty!?"
"Language,we don't want Danny to hear that and i maybe..put a bit too much salt in it..and i kinda forgot to put sugar"
"Well that explains it..god i need water"
"Here"i said as i handed him a glass of water.
"How much salt did you even put in the batter..?"
"I dont know?maybe 5 teaspoons of salt?"
"Holy sh*t..no wonder why it's so salty"
"Well i guess i failed"
"Yep you did,you know what just let me make the pancakes"
"No need to tell me twice,the kitchen is all yours"

-William-

As i mix the pancake batter,i feel a tug on my pants.
I looked down only to see Danny.
'are the pancakes done?'
"No not yet buddy,but it will be soon"
'oh okay'

He sits back on the chair as he continues to draw.
"You know Danny..you should learn how to do sign language,you can't keep relying on that notebook of yours.."
'sign language?'
"Your mom never told you about it?sign language is really useful for mute people you know.."
'but how do I learn it?'
"Well..i can sign you up for sign language class if you want?"
'really?'
"Of course bud"
'thank you Mr. Afton'
"No problem kiddo"
