Knowing that he would be sleeping in the same room as Nico di Angelo was a thought that wouldn't leave Will's head for the rest of the day.
Will wasn't upset, he just wondered how he would survive the next year having to see this angel of a man in close quarters at all times.
With these thoughts plaguing his head, Will opened a medical textbook about all the different functions and parts of the brain.
Will had dreamed about being a doctor for a long time, and in some ways, his mom's death made him want to explore the medical field even more.
Will often had used textbooks and documentaries to run away from the fact his mother was dying. He would read anything he could get his hands on in the waiting rooms, and most of the time it was medical pamphlets.
Will was so engrossed in his textbook he didn't notice Nico coming back a few hours later. That was until Nico jumped on Will's bed and startled him to death.
"Jesus Christ!" Will screamed and Nico grinned in a sinister way,
"Nope, just Nico, you better quit being a nerd and get to bed, we have classes tomorrow, and I don't want you to be the type of roommate I have to pour water on in order for you to wake up," Nico smirked at Will's face then walked into the bathroom as though nothing had happened.
What the fuck have I gotten myself into.
Nico came out of the bathroom fifteen minutes later with a lace black robe and some black silk boxers. Will felt his blood moving towards his groin and immediately looked away from Nico, though he could feel the boy's smirk from across the room.
"You alright there blondie?" Nico's voice was light and innocent but it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing to Will.
"Yup, fine, this is just a really good book," Will looked at the diagram of the frontal lobe. Nico walked over to him and Will's breath hitched.
"Why are you reading a medical textbook?" Nico sounded teasing, but Will could sense genuine confusion in his tone.
"I want to be a doctor, medical facts are super interesting, I have two more textbooks in my suitcase. Did you know that all of your skin cells are replaced every seven years? So technically you have completely different skin than you did seven years ago and-"
"Who's this?" Will looked up and saw Nico was pointing to the framed photo of him and his mom. Will's eyes dimmed and his energy seemed to half just by looking at the photo.
"My mom," he mumbled and Nico raised an eyebrow, looking closer at the photo.
"You look like her," Nico was tracing the frame before shrugging and sitting down on his bed.
"Is that thing about your skin replacing itself true?" Will barely caught the words and faced Nico.
"Yeah, almost all of your cells replace themselves at some point or another, otherwise mitosis would lead to us having way too many cells and that would lead to mass chaos with our homeostasis," Nico gave Will a small smile.
"Cute and smart, who knew the tall ass would have redeeming qualities," Will was glad Nico turned off the right after he said that because otherwise, he would have seen the blush on Will's cheeks.
Will woke up in the middle of the night and felt a sticky wet substance on his sheets.
Shit
Of all the times to have a wet dream, the first night in a new school with a very attractive roommate was not a good spot.
Not only that, but Will remembered some very dark eyes outlined in eyeliner and mascara, and he was pretty sure they didn't belong to a girl.
Will looked over to Nico's bed and saw he had kicked the blankets to his feet, his body sprawled out, his pale skin displayed in the moonlight, his hair spread out around him like a dark angel.
Will's breath caught at the sight of him looking so vulnerable and angelic. Nico started to stir and Will looked away immediately, not wanting to get caught staring.
Will heard Nico get out of his bed and make his way to the bathroom and turn on the tap, presumably to get a cup of water.
Will made sure not to move when Nico entered the room, keeping his breathing even and praying Nico didn't notice the wet spot on his sheets.
Unfortunately, his prayers were not answered.
Will felt a hand on his shoulder that began to shake him and Will pretended to wake up.
"Blondie, I think you wet the bed," Nico pointed at the spot and Will blushed, he was thankful it was too dark for Nico to see.
"Um, yeah, it- it's not what you think it is," Nico smirked and leaned in close to him.
"Oh, you were thinking of me in your dreams, weren't you, Solace," Will gulped, hyper-aware how close Nico was to him.
"Um-"
"Don't worry, Solace, just get cleaned up," Nico whispered right next to Will's ear, making his body shiver.
Nico stepped away and Will saw that the robe he had been wearing was falling off his shoulders and Will could not describe the effect this had on him, but there was an effect.
Instead of acting on it, Will just waited until Nico was back in bed before getting up, taking off his sheets and changing his pajama bottoms.
There was no telling what would come next in his life here.
