So I really wanted do a human AU where Nico and Will grew up together and are really close and there are so many feelings going on there. Get ready for the emotions to flow!

I own nothing recognized!

Like the movies

Ch. 1 I'm here for you

Nico and Will have been best friends for years, they grew up together and are almost inseparable; you will hardly find one without the other.

They were always there for each other no matter what came their way. Will was there for Nico when Nico's mom and sister died while on a mother daughter get away, he was there for Nico when his dad remarried, and he was there for Nico whenever the pain of his life got too much for him.

Nico was there for Will when his older brother was killed in a car crash. He was there for him when his dad walked out on the family, and he was trying his best to be as supportive as possible when Will's mom got it in her head that Will needed to think ahead and find a good girl to settle down with.

…

It was senior year of high school and Will being the oldest of his siblings at home had to take on a lot of the responsibility of taking care of them. His mom was a good woman of course, she just liked to be in control and Nico couldn't blame her, after everything that's happened over the past few years anyone would want to hold onto whatever control they had left wouldn't they? He just wished it didn't tear apart his heart like it did to watch Will have to go on all these blind dates to find the right girl.

Whenever Will needed to escape his hectic life he always came to Nico and stayed at his house for as long as he could until he was needed at home again, but even then Nico would be sure to tag along and pitch in with whatever he could.

He had gone as far as to get the same part time job as Will just so that he could make sure that he didn't go overboard trying to provide for his family. It's not like Nico actually needed a part time job, his family was very well off, but when Will had asked why then would Nico want to work when he didn't have to, he just told him that he wanted to make his own way in the world.

To not make Will suspicious about wanting to help him care for his family Nico spent as much time as he could at the Solace house hold offering to pick up anything from the store on his way over, helping with dinner cost or preparation claiming that he loved to cook and having a larger group to feed would test his cooking skills more than if he just cooked for himself or his parents at home.

Will's siblings were happy with the arrangements and always looked forward to it.

Every Friday they would have a movie night and Nico would order pizza while they watched whatever movie the kids picked which led to a lot of Disney screen time, but it had become a tradition of sorts so no one complained.

The kids especially liked when Nico and Will being the huge dorks that they were would sing along with every song, no one ever thought anything of it when Nico always took on the female parts of songs; it's just how things were. Plus they loved it when he sang like the princesses.

It was one such night after polishing off an extra-large pepperoni pizza between the group when they were lounging in living room watching Aladdin with Nico and Will singing along to A whole new world when Will's mom came home from a long day at work.

"I see that it's Aladdin tonight huh?" she asked poking her head into the living room to check on the kids. "It's getting late so when that's over I want you to go upstairs and brush your teeth before bed, okay?"

There was a chorus of "Yes mom." From the kids, she was about to walk away when she stopped.

"Oh and Will, I was talking to my co-worker Julia, you remember her? Well she has a daughter your age and she's available!" she said the last part in a sing song voice that Nico had to force himself not to cringe from.

"And she would like to meet you, her name is Amy, you'll be having lunch with her on Sunday so don't be late! I'll leave the details on the fridge. Now if you'll all excuse me I need to go soak in a nice hot bath before bed. Oh and thank you for coming over again Nico, you're such a great help!"

With that she headed upstairs leaving them to their movie which they had paused when she had come in.

It was a good thing the song had just ended because the news of another blind date for Will left Nico in no mood for singing, he had learned long ago to school his features so that his emotions didn't show but just in case he pulled out his phone to distract himself from it all just in time to receive a text from his father saying that it was time for him to come home, they had plans for that weekend so he needed to be there. Nico sighed, he knew exactly what those plans were and he wasn't looking forward to it at all.

Nico stood up and pulled on his jacket that had been draped on the arm of the couch.

"Sorry guys but I'm going to have to call it a night, my dad wants me home now, good luck on your date Will." he pulled on his combat boots and made sure he had everything in his backpack before heading to the door.

…

Will was still trying to get past the fact that his mom had set up yet another blind date for him without asking him first when Nico pulled out his phone and got that stony face expression he knew all too well, Will had to think for a moment to remember what day it was and knew instantly what Nico would be doing this weekend, it would be the first time in years that Will wouldn't be there with him and he hated it.

This weekend marked the eighth year anniversary of the passing of Nico's mother and sister, and his family would be going to visit the graves and have a small memorial for them.

How could Will's mom not think of that when she was busy trying to set up another useless date? Didn't she know how much Nico needed him right now?

Sighing inwardly Will stood and walked Nico outside, he only lived a few houses down and didn't need to be walked home but Will always stood on the steps and watched as Nico got home safe each and every time.

"Text me whenever you need, and don't be afraid to call in the middle of the night if need be, I know what a hard time this is for you, and you know I'm here for you always." he gave Nico's shoulder a light comforting squeeze and smiled at him hoping to convey his support and understanding.

…

Nico did his best to return his smile, if anyone understood him it would be Will, if only he understood more than just his pain though. He felt a new pain in his heart at that thought, how could Will ever return 100% of his feelings? He knew he shouldn't get his hopes up; this wasn't like the movies after all.

Instead Nico just placed his own hand over Will's on his shoulder and returned the presser to let him know that he appreciated it like always.

"Thanks Will, I'll do that. See you at school Monday."

And with that he left the front porch of the Solace house and headed home with a mix of feelings weighing heavily on his heart.

Hey guys! Guess who's going with the angst train? I really don't know how it got this far but it's going to just keep getting heavier as it goes but should lighten up eventually, I hope… Anyway I originally came up with this listening to the song If we were a movie and now look at it! Wow. Some sadness coming up next, so get ready, also if there are any triggers in this story I am so very sorry.

I'm a huge dork and will sing to every single Disney song XD also I've had a lot of responsibility piled on me for being the oldest girl so I know the presser. And I absolutely hate blind dates, my family sucks at finding me someone (Could be because they were looking for the perfect guy), but I've got my soul-mate now so life is good! (I found her myself too) Also I'm a stupidly hopeless romantic at times so be ready for corny, cheesy, sappy moments at some points. You have been warned.
