how would he feel about meeting an ex-boy bander who was absolutely falling into the fame game? will's one of those who's careful about what he says in public and, up until recently, worried incessantly over how he was perceived. he wasn't inauthentic - but in interviews it was pretty obvious he'd had excellent media training. i can't imagine there was anything sexual going on between them? but i think it'd be pretty amazing if alistair had a come to jesus moment with him where he was like, 'listen kid, do you really wanna live your entire life this way?' just spitballing.
