Henry instinctively lurches forward, his hand reaching out to catch the falling man. He grabs the man by the waist, steadying him and preventing him from hitting the ground. For a moment, they stand there in the dimly lit hallway, their bodies only inches apart. Henry can feel the man's body trumbling a bit and as the man looks up at him with wide, blue eyes, Henry is struck once again by his beauty. He can't help but feel a flutter in his chest at the proximity, but he quickly swallows down the feeling and steps back, releasing the man's waist.
The young man takes a step back as well, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. He mumbles a quick apology, avoiding Henry's gaze. "S-sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going."
Henry shakes his head, trying to keep his voice even. "It's alright, Are you okay?" Henry said.
"H-huh.. oh, yes. Thanks.. I should, I should get going now." Willam said. He quickly walk away from there.
Henry watches as the young man walks away, his heart still fluttering in his chest. As he turns back to the hotel room, he can't shake the feeling of disappointment at the loss of the man's presence. But he push the thoughts aside.
The hotel staff member watches him for a moment, a small smile on his face.
"He's a new employee at the hotel, my apologies if he did something he shouldn't." The stuff said, as he unlocks the door to Henry's room.
"It's okay..." Henry mumbles. Henry nods absently.
Henry's mind still preoccupied with the young man's face as he steps into the hotel room. The room is finely furnished, and Henry takes in the surroundings with little interest, his thoughts still turning over the encounter in the hallway.
Suddenly, henry turns back to the hotel staff member.
"Wait,"
Henry says, suddenly remembering something.
"Do you happen to know the name of the young man who just walked past us?" Henry said.
The hotel staff member smiles, seemingly amused by Henry's interest.
"You mean the new employee? His name is Aiden."
