"I said shut up!" the black haired boy screams, making the blonde behind him shiver. His words contain a power that he will never realise. Though they are not filled with charmspeak, like Piper and some of her sisters' words are, the effect that Nico di Angelo's words have on Will Solace is immence. With just one or two words spoken by the boy he loves so desperately, he has been moved to tears in the past.

Similarly, he has been brought back from the brink of goodness only knows what. Well, at least that's what Will calls it. He doesn't like to say the real words, he finds them too brutal to hear. He's sure that Nico would too... if he ever told him, that is.

Then again, he's not so sure at the same time. Nico is like a paradox to him - one minute he seems one way, the next he's the total opposite. In all honesty, Will's not entirely sure quite what to make of him. All he knows is that he really, really loves him... and for Will, that's enough for now.

Annoyingly, that's the other thing he's not sure whether or not to tell Nico about: his complete fixation with him. Of course, he wants to tell him, he's just not quite sure if it's the right thing to do or not. After all, if he's wrong about it all and Nico isn't even gay then he'll have ruined their friendship... and for what? Nothing.

Absolutely nothing whatsoever.

So when Nico tells him to 'shut up', that's just what he does. And with a tear in his eye and his smile upside down, the boy turns and walks away, his feelings hidden for yet another day.
