Why Can't I sleep?

Nico ate his mom's pasta, as his mom and sister briefly explained what had happened. He was dying of lung cancer, and the angels always send someone to help the person's suffering to decrease, and help them fulfil their last wishes. In Nico's case, it was Will, who had helped him complete all his wishes. Though he could see that both of them were hiding something from him. But he didn't push them. After he was done eating his food, his mom and Bia had tucked him in his bed and had gone down.

But the weirdest thing was, he couldn't sleep. He felt that he was missing something essential. Something that he required to go to sleep. He dismissed the thought by thinking that maybe his medicines were sleep inducing and that was why he couldn't sleep. But he knew that that wasn't the truth.

So he crept out of his bed, and went downstairs. Bia had told him that the heaven looked like a healthier, pollution free version of the city, so that the souls feel at home. And he knew exactly the place that would help him right now. His and Bia's place, where they would go stargazing. He was about to enter the living room to ask Bia to come along with him, when he heard them talking.

"How is he holding up?" Bianca asked.

'He was completely fine. What was she talking about?'

"He is bad. Like worst then when his brothers died." His mom says as she sighs sadly.

'What?!'

"How could Nico seriously forget him. HIM of all people! They… they were … so… I don't know… I had threatened Will when he had come to visit me that I would kill him if he broke Neeks heart. Looks like that kind of backfired. That poor boy doesn't even have anyone to look after him. Apollo is always busy, but I think he is taking some time off for him." Bianca says.

'What is happening?'

"Apparently, when Will was bringing him here, Nico glanced down and gasped when he saw the world dissolve around him. Will looked down and lost his concentration. That caused Nico to glimpse Hell. Which in turn led him to lose all memory of what had happened in the last couple of weeks. And they don't know whether it is temporary or permanent. At least that's what the judges think happened. Will ran out before they could stop him. No one knows where he is now. He really loves Nico a lot. I just wish both of them got back together. I don't think Nico knows this, but he had found something with Will that he would never find with anyone else. And he will miss it sooner or later."

"But seriously how could Nico forget Will! They slept next to each other every night! They couldn't fall asleep until they were all cuddled and bundled up!" Bianca shouts.

"Bia, shhh… you will wake Nico up." His mom whispers.

Nico was confused. Very much. And he needed to clear his head. So he slowly left the house. As he walked down the familiar road to his and Will's... wait what? His and Bia's place, he placed everything that he knew in a neat order in his head.

Nico was dying of lung cancer.

Will is an angel.

Will had apparently helped him through his last days and completed his last wishes.

According to his sister and mom, he and Will were in love.

And he and Will used to cuddle on a daily basis.

That explains why he couldn't sleep.

He didn't believe it.

But he believed it.

He kept remembering a voice saying that "You are my Angel."

And a fuzzy image of a smaller boy being lifted up by a taller guy as he placed the star on the Christmas tree.

He suspected that he was the smaller kid, and Will was the taller kid.

He remembers this safe feeling creep into his heart as he imagines Will holding him close.

He couldn't bear to see Will sad.

He remembered this idiotic grin on Will's face.

The more he tried to recall, he got a headache, but it helped, 'cause he didn't remember half of the things he mentioned above before he left the house.

This was messed up.

So he decided something. He was not going to fall for Will, just because he felt bad for him. Or he felt that he should fall in love with a guy, whom everyone thought he was already in love with. So he is going to let his heart decide the matters for now. If he did love Will, his heart would lead him to it.

And his heart did exactly that.

The Déjà vu that Nico feels is because those were the same exact words and thoughts that had crossed through his mind when he had first met Will. Anyways, I couldn't hold this chapter in anymore. I had to post it. I'm really restless in these matters… my bad. Anyways, Follow, Favourite and review guys! Reviews make me happy! :P Adios! ~Doctor Oracle
