NICO

It's official.

This gorgeous man with a surfer build, shining golden hair, stunning bright blue eyes, slightly tanned complexion, strong arms, long sexy legs, full red lips, dazzling smile, piercing stare, perfect brows, perfect nose, perfect jaw, perfect hair, perfect body, perfect ass, perfect EVERYTHING…

… Is a son of a bitch.

Will Solace is the devil.

Yes, he is undeniably good at whatever he does. Even though he is the director of this hospital, he still leaves the legal stuff to his sister, the twin of Apollo, Artemis. He still wants to manage Pediatrics. He is still the head of that department even though he is already the director.

Anyways, as I was saying, Dr. Will Solace, an executive director and head of the Pediatrics department of the Solace Medical Center is a big jerk. I've been working in this hospital for two, almost three, weeks already and just this week he yelled at me 5 times already. It's not even a full week yet. It's like Wednesday today. And, he's not even from Surgery. He's from pediatrics. Pediatrics. He may be an executive of this hospital but still. It's Apollo's fault, really. That bastard of a boss of mine makes me do stuff for him that one way or another will involve his 'super adorable baby brother'. He always chooses me to do do stuff for Will, give this to Will or report to Dr. Will. And whenever I ask questions, he'll tell me to 'ask Will' or 'go see Will'. Seriously. And he can say this while smiling. Like his brother won't kill me if I don't know where this stuff was stored or where the Neurology department was or where their sister's office as or where the nearest bathroom was.

So in conclusion, this very, as much as I do not want to admit it but it is painfully obvious, handsome doctor is a demon presiding in the ridiculously gorgeous body of Will Solace.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Looks can really be deceiving.

And I thought that princes were supposed to be charming, not evil.

I wonder how the little energizer Austin was Dr. Will's son. Maybe he took after his mother.

Who was his mother anyway?

I shook my head as I entered the same coffee shop Austin and I first met. I sighed. I miss the kid. He was just so adorable and cute and adorable and lovely and adorable and sweet and ado-

Okay, I'm stopping.

But really, I miss him. The last time I saw him was when I was checking some records and he ran to me and hid in my white overcoat. He asked me to stay perfectly still so that 'Uncle Apollo won't find me! He giggled childishly and continued to hide even though Dr. Apollo already found him. He played with my coat just like the cute little bunny that he is and laughed uncontrollably when his uncle tickled him mercilessly. I smiled fondly and shook my head at the memory. Seriously, that kid.

I was on the line to the counter when the person in front of me bumped me. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Seriously. What's with this place and people bumping me?

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" that person apologized. He had blue eyes, straight, same style as Dr. Will's, brown hair and elfish features. He smiled at me sheepishly and apologized again. "I wasn't careful. Sorry again, doctor-" he glanced at my name tag. "di Angelo."

"It's okay." I said as he made way for me. I ordered then chose a table a bit farther than the rest. I sat down with a sandwich and coffee in hand. I sighed happily. The little joys of life. Well, the original plan was to enjoy my meal and forget about the rest of the world. But really, this shop was cursed. This shop won't allow me to have peace and quiet. The elf slid to the seat in front of me.

"Hey! I'm Cecil Jones from Pediatrics, nice to meet you." Well isn't he cheerful. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes again.

"Uhm, hi?

"You're big brother's new recruit right?" he asked excitedly.

"Big brother?"

He nodded his head repeatedly. It was pretty moronic if you asked me. Then again, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "Yes. Apollo. And no. We're not really brothers, it's just that Will and I have been best friends since forever so I'm kinda like family." He smiled proudly.

Oooooh. Will's best friend, huh.

"Yes. I'm his new surgeon. Why?"

He laughed. "Oh y'know. Heard a lot about you. Nothing good, by the way." He waved his hand in a dismissing manner.

Real courteous, dude.

"Oh, gee, thanks." I snorted and this time, did not resist the urge to roll my eyes. I rolled my eyes then glared at this moronic elf. This guy is seriously annoying. Can I pour my coffee in his face or something? Yep. He is definitely Will Solace's best friend.

"Forgive him. He's not usually like that y'know. S 'just that the stress and everything is getting on his nerves. Managing the hospital, pressure from his dad, raising little Austin on his own and a lot of things. Me, big brother and Artemis are doing everything to lighten up his burden, y'know. So, yeah. I'm apologizing on his behalf. As a good best friend." He said seriously. I didn't know what to say.

"Wait, he's raising Austin on his own?" I asked him. My eyebrows rose.

"Uh… Well… Ahaha." He laughed nervously as he scratched his cheek.

"Uncle Cec- Nicoooooooooo!" the little rascal Austin, ran to me excitedly. He climbed into my lap, made himself comfortable then hugged me tightly. I smiled. Seriously. This kid is just so adorable for his own good. I pinched his chubby cheeks then ruffled his hair. He started to play with my coat hiding his face then looking at me then hiding again. He giggled childishly as he continued his game. I smiled at him. "Hey baby, how've you been?" I asked him.

"Ssssh, Nico! I'm trying to hide from Uncle Cecil because…. Just because!" he giggled once more. This kid is a giggling machine, I swear.

"Why you little!" Cecil mocked anger then stood up to tickle the 5-year old in my lap. The little rascal thrashed around my lap as Cecil the elf continued to tickle him mercilessly. "Nicoooooooooo~~ help meeeeeee! He whined. I just laughed at him as I did my best to keep him on my lap. Austin's laughter was like music to my ears. He was so happy, it makes me happy. For a moment, I forgot that the world was a dark place. I forgot that I am an emotionally crippled man, that my boss was a jerk, and my world was miserable because of him.

"Okay, Cil. That's enough." Will scolded Dr. Jones while shaking his head, smiling.

"Hey Twinny! Big brother!" Cecil greeted them with a big smile.

I glanced at their direction and surely there they were. Apollo smacked Cecil on the head fondly. He then ruffled his hair when the brunette pouted. He then looked at me then smiled and gave a small wave. I gave him a little smile. Then I locked eyes with Dr. Will for a while. He nodded curtly at me and I did the same. I looked down at Austin. He was clutching my shirt tightly and his face buried in my chest. "Austin, baby, what's wrong?" I asked the kid, my eyebrows furrowed in concern. This kid was usually happy and bubbly that it's so unusual for him to be so quiet. So, what could be bothering this sweet little kid?

"Nico," he stared at me with big blue eyes glossy with unshed tears. It really hurts me to see him like this. But what really broke my heart were the next three words that he spoke. It should be illegal that a kid speaks like this. His voice was faltering as he tried to keep the sobs. Filled with sincerity and longing, he spoke to me.

"I miss you."

Will

I sighed.

We were at a park hanging out because Austin said he needed to spend quality time with Nico. Oh please. Why would Austin want to spend time with him?

I sighed.

I'm seriously considering whether I should smack my best friend or kick him in the balls. But since I'm feeling kind today I decided on the first one. Apparently, that's not enough to make him stop. Of course. Nothing less to expect from this jerk Cecil. "Just cut it out, Cil. I'm not listening anyways." I scoffed at him.

"No. You listen to me as I put some sense into that medically obsessed brain of yours. I don't fucking understand why you're so hard on him. I would understand if another part of yours is hard on him or for him or IN him. Yes, in him would be good but-"

I smacked him on the head then sighed. Then again, it's not enough to shut this jerk up.

"-look at him. Just freaking look at him you poor excuse for a freaking doctor because a doctor should know if he's got eye problems or shit like that, but just look at him, you dick." He held my head in his hands then turned it to face Austin and Nico playing on the slide. They look like angels.

Wait. They?

"See? He's beautiful man. Beautiful. I'm sure big brother's got the hots for him. And if I wasn't pinning for Pollux then I'd definitely go for him. Sure, he's dark and brooding but that's part of his charm. He's also mysterious and reserved and that's another part of his charm. Also, he changes drastically when he's with your son. You never know, he might be hurt like you or he's hiding something really big like you and the two of you can, y'know, move on together."

That was the final straw.

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, CECIL!" I yelled at him standing up and flinging my arms in the air. "Why the fuck are you even thinking about stupid shits anyway?" I snapped at him.

"Papa?" my son asked me with a look of confusion on his face as he tilted his head.

I smiled at him and shrugged dismissively.

My baby, my light, my everything, likes this new surgeon Nico for some reason I do not understand. Ever since he gave him a sandwich and his favorite chocolate milkshake he started to become too attached to the Italian boy. Since then, my dearest Austin bothers me with questions and stories about Nico every damn time. It was always "'Nico this' and 'Nico that' and when he doesn't see Nico in a day he'll start asking me questions like 'Did you see Nico today?', 'What was Nico doing when you saw him?', 'What was he wearing?', 'Did you talk to him?', 'What did he tell you?' and a lot more it's starting to become annoying.

No. Don't get me wrong I love my baby. Austin is the most important person to me and I love it when he tells me everything. I actually love it when we're eating dinner with my brother, sometimes with my sister or my dad or Cecil, and he tells me everything that happened to his day. It's the highlight of my everyday life, really. When we would sit down like a family and he will do his storytelling on how he played, how he was praised by his teacher or how he was scolded, how he tripped when he was playing, how he didn't cry or how he wailed because it really hurt and a lot more. When he's satisfied, he'll ask me about my day. I will tell him how it went and I will patiently answer all his questions. After that, he will ask my brother and he will answer as well. When it's time for his bedtime, he will ask me about his mom. He will ask me how I loved his mom or how beautiful she was or how much I loved her.

But he stopped. He doesn't ask about her anymore. My little sunshine asks about Nico.

That's the reason why I'm hard on him. I point out every wrong he does because I can't see what's so special about him. His skill level is average; he's a loner, too professional and as Cecil puts it, dark and brooding.

'Yeah but he also called that his charm.'

Shut up, brain.

So what exactly does my little bunny see in him?

I sighed. Seriously, this situation is making me sigh so much.

"Waaah!"

I turned around sharply when I heard Austin yell.

I stayed rooted on the spot.

There they were with Nico smiling so broadly carrying my son. He was holding Austin by the waist and he was lifting him up in the air. Austin was laughing so happily and he demanded Nico to carry him higher. He carried him higher and hugged my baby tightly to prevent him from falling. My baby was so happy I don't know what to say. I forgot how to breathe. He was smiling so sincerely, he was so happy. They were so happy, it was beautiful. So beautiful.

They were so beautiful.

They. Beautiful.

I stared at Cecil. He stared back at me with one eyebrow raised with that look that says 'Well? Didn't I tell you?' I closed my eyes and ran both hands to my hair then sighed. How many times did I sigh today? Urgh. Nevermind.

"I know what you're thinking, man. You think Nico's replacing her. He's not, Will. Actually, he can never. Nobody can Will. She's always gonna be little bunny's mom. But it's really time you accept it, Will. For you and especially little bunny. You can't keep dwelling in the past, twinny. I'm not saying that you should fall in love with Nico but you gotta stop hating him just because you think he's making Austin forget his mom. Because whether you like it or not, Nico is here. And she's not."

I bowed in defeat. I know all of that really. And I'm trying. It's just that it's really hard. But Cecil's right. I have to stop blaming myself. After all it's been almost four years already. Now only if it was that easy.

"Hey, hey, hey. Hold that thought." Cecil tapped the back of his hand to my chest. I raised a brow at him. "I know what you're thinking again. And yes, you're right it's not easy. But… that's what I'm here for. Hey, we've been best friends ever since we were crawling in diapers uncircumcised. That's why we're twins right? And besides, big brother is there and your man-hater of a sister is also there. And most importantly, that little rascal son of yours is there for you too. So no need to rush, twinny. We got you." He said that then winked at me. He placed his arms around my shoulder. I shook my head then smiled.

"Since when you became this wise, you son of a bitch?" I asked him. "Shut the hell up, you motherfucker." He replied, smiling.

"Papa!" my baby called me. "Carry me too, papa!" he raised his arms up. I ran to where he and Nico were. Nico was smiling at me. Austin laughed. Nico tickled him in my arms. "I love you, Nico." Austin told Nico.

"I love you too, baby." He kissed Austin's nose. My little sunshine giggled. I stared at him.

Nico stared back at me.

"Nico and Papa are making gooey eyes with each other!" Austin laughed and clapped his hand childishly.

We raised our brows in unison. My brother and Cecil was laughing so hard in the background. But they were idiots so they don't really matter.

I smiled at him. He smiled softly at me.

Well, he loves my son. That's what's important. So maybe I should start treating him nicely. I looked at him again and he was still smiling softly with a gentle look in his eyes. Seems like my brother was right after all.

"Don't you think my new surgeon is cute, huh, little brother?"

Apollo

Well, well, well. Looks like my baby brother is finally warming up to dear little Nico. We just came home from the mall since we stopped to buy some necessities. Ah, the little ball of energy I call my nephew hasn't stop to talk about my cute little surgeon. Will was just laughing and nodding and agreeing with him with this smile he reserves for his son only. Shame, I really think that Nico is cute. But seems like the chemistry between him and my dearest brother is more…. Beautiful. I just have to step aside and let my brother find love again. Hopefully. And here I thought I can finally have another boyfriend. I've been single for way too long.

Anyways, we are now at our apartment building, waiting for the elevator. Austin was still talking non-stop in Will's arms and I can't help but smile as he tells his stories. Seriously, this kid is just so adorable.

The elevator dinged open.

"Nico!" Austin jumped from Will's arms to go and hug Nico.

The Italian looked as confused as we are. Except Austin of course, he doesn't seem to care. So long as he sees Nico then that little rascal is fine.

"Wait." My dearest brother started after he snapped out of confusion. "do you leave here?"

Nico nodded.

Will and I stared at each other, and then stared at Nico again. I stared at them both as Austin continued to hug Nico silently. I then saw my nephew smile at me, satisfied.

'Little rascal' I thought.

Seems like it's just not me and Cecil trying to pair Nico and Will together.

Hmm. Looks like things are gonna get more interesting.
