I really appreciate how you're spending time on developing their relationship, taking them slowly through the natural stages of attraction and getting to know one another. The detail in both Tom's and Bill's characterization, watching their little fumbles and trust given and returned and just being so awkward then easy together, it's amazing. Great progression throughout the story, and in this part in particular.
I enjoyed how Tom had trouble with small talk, and the way Bill recognized it and nudged him out of it and got him talking. And, mmm, their physicality together is just perfect, even if Tom doesn't quite realize it yet. ;)
