SOLANGELO IS NOT CANON IN THIS (YET) BUT KLANCE IS AS CANON AS IT GETS.
Nico just wanted McDonalds, for the love of the gods.
Will agreed. The blond may have valued health but he was a sucker for junk food. He tried to deny it but really, the second the word 'burgers' escaped Nico's lips, Will was in the car, honking impatiently. So, technically, it was all Will's fault.
Nico had walked into the McDonalds, and placed the order. Will had gone to the restroom while Nico was ordering. They had decided on the way there that they would eat at the restaurant instead of going back to their shared apartment, because why not.
After he had placed the order, he chose out a table with two chairs near the window, all the way in the back of the restaurant and out of sight of the counter where the line was steadily decreasing. He slumped into it, humming and fiddling with the hem of his new aviator's jacket.
Since his old one had been so badly damaged while shadow-travelling the Athena Parthenos, his 'protection squad' plus Mitchell had helped him choose a fabric for a new one. He remembered that when he had found the right fabric swatch, he had sat there in utter joy for a solid thirty seconds petting it. Of course, he was too oblivious to notice the look Will was giving him (then again, Will was too oblivious to notice the way Nico was staring at his muscles flexing while he was playing volleyball, so it went both ways).
Just when Nico was beginning to wonder when Will would be back, a shadow loomed over him. He didn't even look up before he was enveloped in a one armed hug.
"Hey, mullet! Sorry it took me so long, Jesus, my mama wouldn't let me go without fussing over my hair and telling me to wash my face and all that stuff." he pouted. However, it disappeared from his face as he swooped down and pecked Nico's cheek.
"Anyway, I'm here now. Sorry to have kept you waiting, pretty boy."
Nico choked and felt his cheeks go ablaze. "Who are you, exactly?" he managed, as he found himself staring up, trying to get a good look at the boy's face.
"C'mon, babe, I said I was sorry! No need to act like that just 'cause I was late…" The boy whimpered childishly and gave Nico the eyes. Once again, Nico wasn't sure why he was doing this, but at least this way he got a good look at his face.
The boy was about Will's height, give or take a couple of centimeters shorter. He had short brown hair that was slicked down and obviously naturally messy because it was sticking up in some spots. He had a very slight Spanish accent, but you could hear it in the way he rolled his rs ever so gently. He had big, blue eyes like Will's, only Will's were a clear cerulean, like picture-perfect ocean waves. This boy's eyes were midnight blue, light reflecting off of his pupils like stars in the sky, the way light reflected off Will's eyes like sand being carried away by the tide.
When Nico didn't say anything, the boy drooped for a moment and then all six feet of him straightened up, his midnight blue eyes sparkling mischievously.
"I think I know how I can get you to forgive me, vermillion." And with that, he leaned down and connected their lips in a raging, passionate kiss. Nico had kissed few guys and he could tell this guy was a good kisser, but it didn't endear him in any way. He didn't know who the Hades this boy was. He didn't even know his name.
In a jolt of common sense Nico snapped out of his daze. He had recovered his wits just enough to shriek, "WILL!"
In a split second, Will came racing around the corner with their food. He dropped the bags on te table and practically growled, "Why are you kissing my roommate, pal? Because from the sound of it, I don't think he appreciates it all that much." Thank God for Will and his dumb logic.
"Wh- your roommate?" the boy sounded insulted. "I don't know who you are, but Keith here lives with me. He's my boyfriend. And we were having a McDonalds date so… yeah." He waved his hand and Will's ears burned red.
"Keith? That's Nico. My roommate. The guy I've known since I was ten. And you are not allowed to kiss him, you won't kiss him anymore, and you never will again." Will snarled, grabbing Nico's wrist and gently yanking him away.
"I told you, I don't know who the hell Nico is!" The boy just sounded plain frustrated. "I only know Keith! My Keith is about yay tall-" he held up his palm over Nico's head. "-has a black mullet just like that-" Nico's hands darted up to the nape of his neck self-consciously. "-has those same doe's eyes, blushes at the drop of a hat-" he gestured to Nico's entire face. "I'm pretty sure this is Keith!"
"For the love of the g-" The muscles in his neck were contracting as he caught himself. "I would know the person I practically grew up with!" Will drew back his fist and Nico racked his brains for what he could do to calm the situation.
The bell jingled in the distance as the door opened and shut. A boy came around the corner, rubbing his eyes but smiling nonetheless. He had a tousled mullet, was about an inch taller than Nico, and had big violet eyes.
He walked over to the brown haired boy and leaned his head on on his shoulder. He yawned and mumbled with the air of someone not fully awake, "Sorry I'm late, Lance. Shiro didn't know and when I asked him to set my alarm, he set it for half past noon because last week was finals week and I've been cramming. Sc-screw Space Da-" He was cut off by a wide yawn.
Lance did a double take, as did Will. "Wait- Keith? But I thought- isn't that- you look exactly alike! Oh my god-" Lance's eyes widened comically. "I kissed you, oh my god, I kissed someone who wasn't my boyfriend- I kissed someone who wasn't my boyfriend-"
Keith was rolling with laughter by the look on Lance's face, Will looked undeniably smug, Lance was apologizing profusely, and Nico? He was choking on his laughter right along with Keith.
When the chaos died down and the disaster emo gays had stopped dying, Keith wiped a tear from his eye and said, "Why don't we sit down and talk this out, maybe exchange phone numbers and meet up next weekend? I want to know what happened, every raw detail of it, it sounds fucking wild."
"Sound legit. But-" Nico held up a hand. "I still want my Happy Meal."
Will chuckled and handed him the box. "You know I'd never forget that."
"Are… are you two a thing?" Lance stage whispered. Keith smacked him but looked intrigued. Neither of the boys answered, instead turning bright red.
"Gods- er, God no! I mean, I have standards." Nico scoffed, shoving Will's shoulder. And you fit all of them, he added mentally.
"Neeks and I are just friends, even though I'm bi and he's gay."
"No way!" Lance's jaw dropped. "I'm bi and vermillion is gay!"
They stared at each other in disbelief. Nico and Keith looked at each other, rolling their eyes, and sat down with their food. Nico carefully took the toy out of the box. It was a Mythomagic figurine. Seeing it made Nico's heart skip a beat, both with melancholy and nostalgia. He carefully unwrapped the god Hades and set it to the side.
Within moments, Lance and Will had sat down and they were all casually conversing with each other.
"You know…" Keith leaned over and whispered to Nico. "You have the hots for him. I can tell." Keith wiggled his eyebrows childishly.
"I do not!" Nico turned bright red.
"Gay denial, pal. Look, I say, if you like him, just tell him. Did you see how defensive he got when Lance kissed you by accident? He totally has the hots for you too."
"Probably not." Nico muttered.
Little did he know the blond and brunet were conversing about the exact same thing.
And this is done! Love Klance, love Solangelo- beautiful. If you guys want a follow up chapter just ask! I'll throw in Jason and Shiro for fun ;) Happy reading, all!
