Work Text
Will looked around in the dimly lit Cabin Seven his eyes glancing at his phone that kept turning on by his mother’s worried texts, 4 pm, it said on his lock screen right on top of a picture of Nico that Will took when they first started dating…3 years ago, to Will it had felt like he had been dating Nico all of his life, Nico felt like his other half no matter how cheesy that sounded to everyone especially Nico Will didn’t care, that was then only way he could describe his boyfriend, his other half. And now he was going rip that half off with his bare hands. Will let out a heavy sigh the sudden buzzing of his phone dragging him away from his thoughts, 4 past 15 now.. he would usually be in the infirmary at this hour but ever since the talk he and Austin had about Will’s situation his brother had banned him from the infirmary ‘You need all the rest you can get’ he remembered those words coming out of Austin’s mouth and he knew he was right however…all this free time did not help in Will’s quest to avoid his boyfriend. Will’s body jerked up as he heard the cabin door opened revealing a very…annoyed? Looking Nico di Angelo. Will was usually good at reading his boyfriend’s face but not now.“How long are you going to keep this up?”the broken tone in Nico’s voice revealed that he was not annoyed, just…sad. Will took a shaky breath in as he got up, clenching his hands into fists in hopes that the pain caused by his fingernails digging into his skin would distract him from the pain that he was going to cause to his heart in that moment. “Nico I…” he just trailed off letting out a soft sigh “I just- Will I don’t know what’s going on with you.” Nico’s brown almost black eyes stared right into Will’s blue ones, filled with worry. “And I have tried countless times to talk to you about it! Why won’t you just talk to me?” Will looked away clenching his fists tighter as he tried to look emotionless. 'This is for his own good' He reminded himself before he finally parted his lips “Because I don’t know how to admit it to myself…let along you” Nico’s brows furrowed, his hand reaching out to take Will’s the cold sensation coming from Nico’s skull ring touching his warm skin being all too familiar to Will. “Will what happened? Just tell me, we can fix it together, whatever it is” Will slowly pulled his hand away, shaking his head. “No we can’t Nico, not this.” He let his hand mess with his blonde curls as he nervously looked around “There’s nothing there to fix, it’s me I…” he looked right into Nico’s eyes, he needed this to hit him hard, he needed Nico to hate him. “I’m not in love with you anymore.” He said harshly, staring into Nico’s eyes. “Look I…I tried okay? I really tried making this work but we’re…just too different Nico. What we expect from our future, our dreams…it doesn’t- It will not work out”Nico just stared at Will, his mind not registering the words coming out of the blonde’s mouth. He stepped back a little, falling onto one of the Apollo kids’ bed as his knees felt weak, after what felt like forever Nico let out of a chuckle “This…gods this is some type of joke isn’t it?” he said getting up again as he stared at Will with hope filled in his eyes. The Nico di Angelo from a few years ago would just take Will’s words to heart and run away like he always did…but not this Nico. He stood there staring at the love of his life, expecting him to say something…ANYTING. Will just shook his head no as he looked away tears filling up his eyes. “This…Will I think this is all because you’re worried about going away for University, but hey! We talked about it, it’s going to be alright I’ll be in New Rome too-” “No! Nico you’re not getting it. It’s over, we as a couple WONT work out.” Will raised his voice doing what he could do to look angry, annoyed.. anything other than what really he was feeling. It felt like he was stabbing his own heart. Nico’s face suddenly changed, the reality of Will’s words finally hitting him. “Why now hm? What the fuck made you decide that we DON’T work after three fucking years?!” Will just let out a heavy sigh“I can’t be with someone who’s still living in the past Nico and I honestly just...I don’t have the energy to be your therapist anymore, I’m really sorry Nico, it’s over.”Those words felt like Will had just taken Nico’s sword and stabbed him right through the heart. A single tear fell down from Nico’s eye as he stormed out of the Apollo Cabin. As soon as he left Will fell onto his bed, sobbing. ‘This is for the best’ he reminded himself.
3 years later...
Nico let out a high pitched moan as he came all over the blonde’s face “Shit…” he threw his head back, shutting his eyes as he tried steadying his breathing before he let out a soft chuckle opening his eyes to look at the blonde boy in between his legs, he gently tugged onto his blonde curls “Sorry about that…’” he said in between his chuckles as he reached over his nightstand to grab a towel, handing it to the boy. The blonde just chuckled in response as e wiped his face clean “It’s quiet alright really, as long as I get to hear you make those beautiful sounds.” He said as he laid down next to Nico, the son of Hades just smiled “You’re cute Tony”
