will grayson

  • will grayson cannot stop thinking about Tiny Cooper.
  • It all started that night in front of Frenchy's. Tiny is trying to help him, and the other Will is, too; he tells will that love and truth are tied together. That's deep.
  • When Will leaves to follow Jane, Tiny gives will a hug. will tries to brush him off, but Tiny is not having it. He offers to sing a song from Tiny Dancer: The Tiny Cooper Story.
  • And boy, does he. Tiny belts the song out right there in the middle of the street and will can't help but melt a little. At least this person is trying to help him. Like, really trying.
  • So Tiny and will take a walk, and Tiny tells him all about Tiny Dancer. will thinks he's a bit crazy, but is glad he doesn't have to talk about evil Maura and the Isaac disaster.
  • In Millennium Park, Tiny heads toward a huge reflective sculpture nicknamed the Bean. will is kind of amazed with how genuine and comfortable Tiny is with himself. He's also a little bit annoyed by it, too.
  • He tells Tiny that he sounds kind of gay.
  • Um, yeah, Tiny agrees. Duh.
  • It's just that will doesn't really like gay people.
  • Tiny counters by saying will must like himself, right?
  • Little by little, Tiny breaks through will's hurt and cynicism by being completely, fabulously happy and unflappable. Why would Tiny care about will? What does will matter to anyone? Well, he matters to Tiny, darn it.
  • It's just then that Tiny announces that he doesn't kiss on the first date, though he's been known to make exceptions.
  • will is pretty surprised, but also can't deny that Tiny is pretty darn attractive. Sure, he's huge and giant, but there's just something about him that draws will in. Oh, Tiny.
  • So will kisses him. He kisses a boy for the first time. And luckily, kissing Tiny is not like kissing a sofa.
  • After they kiss for a while, Tiny realizes that he doesn't even know will's name. When he tells him, Tiny jumps off the bench and starts screaming, "I kissed will grayson!"
  • Then they just talk for a while and ask each other all kinds of questions. will still seems pretty doubtful about Tiny—after all, will's not some warm, loving person that Tiny can just snuggle into a ball of happiness.
  • But Tiny's not convinced. He thinks will grayson is just plain wrong about himself, and that love will conquer all.
  • Oh, boy.
