I don't…

Nico woke up in the evening, to find the bed empty. He had long ago learned that Will had a habit of not informing him, before disappearing into thin air, and that he should not panic. But there was always a small fear in a corner of his heart, telling him that it was all a dream, that it was just his way of dealing with pain. He shook his head, and decided to go the kitchen.

He was almost at the end of the staircase when he heard a loud crash from the kitchen, he ran there to find Will's hand shaking and a plate on the floor. Nico rushed up to him, took his hand, and lead him to the couch in their living room. Wait…. Did he just say their? He smiled but then shook his head.

"Hey baby, what's wrong?"

Will just pulls him into a hug, and Nico realizes that he is burning up. "Don't ever leave me Neeks…" Will sobs as he clutches the other boy's arms and looks him in the eye.

Nico nods, "I won't baby. Shh… it's ok. I am here. What were you doing in the kitchen sunshine?"

"Pasta, for you, but… the plate slipped from my hand, hold on…" Will absent-mindedly twirls his hands, and the mess cleans up. But what startles Nico is that Will's body temperature shoots up as soon as he does that.

"It's ok, I will get it, but, baby, why are you growing so hot? Is it because of what happened in the morning?"

"I may be trying to heal your cancer?"

Nico's eyes widened as he realizes what Will was trying to do. He keeps looking at Will, as Will's hands reach up to his face and rub his tears away, when did he start crying?

"I don't want to lose you Neeks." Will says as he leans down and kisses the top of Nico's head.

"Will, I love you. Please. Don't do this. If you do this, we won't be able to stay together. And I don't want that. Please."

Will nods, and then gets up to get their food. Nico shakes his head, puts a hand on Will's shoulder, and gets up and gets both the plates.

They switch on the T.V, cuddle up to each other, and eat their dinner in silence. After that, Nico cleans up the dishes, forcing Will to stay where he was, making him promise not to use his magic anymore. Will nods and lies down on the couch.

After everything is done, Nico goes back to find Will asleep on the couch. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, all his nervous energy vanishing into thin air. Yes, Will Solace was nervous.

He carefully put a blanket on Will, and then went upstairs to sleep. Though he did not sleep. Not that he did not want to, he couldn't. It took him a few minutes to realize the reason for his sleeplessness. He was missing one warm and cuddly Will from his bed. He sighed, as he rolled around in the bed, trying to fall asleep, which was in vain.

Finally unable to find anymore techniques to fall asleep without Will beside him, he made his way downstairs. He carefully played with Will's hair. Recently his hands were becoming extremely obsessed with Will's soft and smooth hair. He was in way too deep, wasn't he?

But that wasn't doing him any good. He did not want to hurt Will later. Because…He did not love Will Solace. He did not!
