Nico and Bianca looked very simular, they both had dark hair, olive skin, dark eyes and they even both had a slight italian accent. But this is where there simularities ended. Nico often wondered how two people who looked so alike and had such different personalities could be related.

Bianca was sweet, kind and could be friends with anyone. And to be honest she was the perfect friend and the perfect daughter. Nico however was far from perfect, he was the quiet unsocial guy in the corner who was seemingly inable to make friends and talk about feelings. Even when he tried to be like his sister, and he did, he just couldn't. It was just not something that he could do, this was something he was always jealous of about Bianca. It always came so naturally for her.

Even when their mum was killed in a terrible accident and their father tore himself apart, she was strong and was there for him. She was forced to grow up so fast because suddenly she had a kid to look after and yet, she never resented Nico but instead she was the person he could rely on most. Bianca meant the world to Nico for she had been there for him through everything and she never judged him, even when he relised he was gay and thought something was wrong with him, she was the one that reminded him who he was.

But one night Bianca never came home; she had gone out to a party with her friends but she didn't make it back by 12 like she promised. Nico kept getting increasingly worried as she wasn't home yet and the hours were ticking by. When it reached 3 in the morning there was a sound from the door that awoke him, he jumped up thinking it would be a sheepish Bianca apoligising for worrying him and telling him she had lost track of time, he could almost picture it. But instead it was the rest of Bianca's friends, they told him Bianca had been in a car accident and she hadn't made it. He felt like the ground had opened up beneath him, she was the only one of his family left and just like that she was gone.

Even though Nico knew Zöe had lost her life hours after the crash from injuries that couldn't be healed, he still felt upset that once again his family was torn apart.

Bianca was the only person in the world who Nico ever opened up to and she was the one who could always pick him up and listen to him, she was so special to him and he never knew how much he needed her until she was no longer in his life.

Nico knew it was Percy who was driving from the party that night but no matter how much Nico tried he just couldn't hate him. Percy was perfect, he had loads of friends, he was popular, he was a nice person and helped anyone he could. Nico thought he could fill the gap left in his heart, but then Percy got a girlfriend and he was happy. But Nico felt like his heart had been crushed. He promised himself he would never love anyone again because no one would ever be able to fix his heart.

He just didn't know how wrong he was.

One day before class Nico was rushing to get to his favourite coffee shop to help get him through the day as he didn't sleep that well the night before. As he hurried up to the counter his legs slowed and his heart beat a little faster. He forgot everything he needed to do that day and just stopped as he connected eyes to the beautiful blonde boy. He swore he remembered the boy vaguely from school but before he could dwell on that too much his body had carried him over to the table. He had no idea what had come over him or why he did it but he felt drawn to the now wide eyed boy, he wasn't sure what he was doing, it was like his heart was completly overpowering his brain.

"Hey"

What in hell was he doing, he had never spoken to this boy before but now he was talking to him like they were old friends! His mind seemed to hear his pleas of wanting to sound as normal as he could get in this situation he had put himself in and he was able to pick the convisation back up.

"I saw you sitting alone and thought you looked like you needed a friend. It's Will right?"

"Um hi? And yeah. It's Will. You're Nico right?"

"Oh, Yeah I'm Nico"

Wow, he's an idiot. He hadn't even introduced himself! It must have been longer than he thought since he had had a real coversation because this was just pathetic.

"My friends had to leave which is why I'm here alone"

Nico nodded but felt a world of embarassment fall onto his shoulders for he had done something so crazy, so unlike him, yet he felt like this was one of the only things in his life that made sense. He could feel Will looking at him and looked up only to see Will advert his eyes and was that a blush on his cheeks? No, he must be imagining it.

Will smiled slightly at him which made butterflies reawaken in his stomach, he hadn't felt like this in a long time. He felt his smile move into a similar grin and he felt he could sit here forever. But then Will checked his watch and told him

"I really think I should be leaving now"

Nico felt a sinking feeing in his gut, this was stupid; he had only just met the guy. And yet he felt an unspoken connection and didn't want to loose that so soon.

But Will wasn't done, and Will's cheeks seemed to colour as he opened his mouth to continue

"do you want me to walk you home?"

Nico felt his heart beginning to flutter and his cheeks felt red hot but for once he didn't care.

"Yes" Nico said in reply before his mind had even begun to think about it.

What is this boy doing to him?

Nico felt a strangly warm and giddy feeling in his gut and a smile spread across his face and he felt happier than he had in a long time. As there hands began to inch closer he welcomed the feeling and new this had been what he had been waiting for since Bianca died.

And as Nico glanced over at Will he couldn't help but notice the sun seemed to grow a bit brighter.

I don't care if this is a little cheesy or OoC or whatever because I've always wanted to write a fanfic and I finally have the courage to post it. Please RR because even though I probably won't write anymore I want to get feedback and who knows maybe I'll write another if I get good feedback! (no pressure).
