"So Will?"

"Hmm?" He asks as he tries to not stare at his boyfriend (? Is he even his bf? If he doesn't remember him? Ughhh! So confusing!"

"How did you know about this place?"

"Oh, you brought me here on Darkness one night, after making me promise not to heal your cancer." Will says nonchalantly.

Nico sputters.

Nico brought Will here on Darkness? No one knows about Darkness, other than Leo.

Nico brought Will to one of the places he felt the safest at.

Nico did not want Will to heal his cancer.

Nico brought Will here on Darkness.

He must have really loved Will.

"You know, I haven't let anyone touch Darkness."

Will blushes and looks away.

"What? What is it?"

Will shakes his head.

"Yo! You are my friend. You are supposed to tell me everything."

"Well, you let me drive Darkness on the way back home."

"Then, how did I go back home?" Nico asks confused.

"Um, I think you can figure that one out yourself."

Nico shakes his head, pushing away a thought that keeps nagging him.

"You sat behind me."

"But… but..."

"You only let people whom you love the most to drive while you sit behind." Will says smirking.

Nico nods. He must have loved Will a lot, to let him drive Darkness.

Suddenly he gasps.

Will rushes over to him, his hands reaching up to take away any pain, when he realizes that Nico is longer suffering from cancer.

"Nico?"

While Nico sits in shock as a sudden memory comes into his fore mind. Will driving as he holds onto him for dear life, but grinning like a madman.

"I… I just saw you driving Darkness, while I sat behind you."

"Oh my gods! You remember!"

"N… not much. Just bits and pieces."

Will nodded, but you could see the excitement in his eyes.

"Why couldn't you sleep?" Nico asked, trying to change the subject, cause he was really getting nervous. If Will noticed he didn't say anything.

"Eh, it's awkward."

"No! Tell me tell me tell me!"

Will chuckles as he reaches up to ruffle Nico's hair.

"I can't sleep until we are cuddling." Will says as he looks away, turning a deep red.

"Oh, maybe that's the reason I couldn't sleep too." Nico doesn't realize he has said that out loud until he heard Will's intake of breathe.

"I … I could help with that." Will says as he raises his hand to put him to sleep.

Nico shakes his head, lies down on the ground, pats the spot next to him. Will raises his eyebrows, but lies down next to him.

"The stars are so much more closer from here."

Will hums as he points out all the constellations that Nico had shown him, but soon, the exhaustion of the past few days catches up to him, and he falls asleep.

Nico looks at Will and has the urge to run his fingers through his hair, and before he can stop himself, he does exactly that.

Will sighs in his sleep, and pulls Nico into a hug, holding him close.

Now, Nico could easily get out of his embrace, but he feels safe? And that thing he was missing… it was Will. he chuckles as he realizes how soon his feelings are returning. But he could see why he fell for Will in the first place. The way he had surged forward when Nico had gasped. He was the kind of person who would put himself before Nico.

Another flashback occurs, him catching hold of Will, who had exhausted himself trying to save Nico, to the point where he was fading.

Nico sighs as he hugs Will back, when he realizes that he is crying. This is what love feels like? Is this too soon? But his thoughts soon become a mush when he glances at Will, who is way too close.

How must it feel like kissing him? Did I ever kiss him?

Ughh! Go to sleep, Di Angelo!

He closes his eyes and falls asleep to his new favourite sound in the world, Will's heartbeat.

But not before noticing that many of his wilted feathers were now back to normal.

He is safe. He mutters as he feels himself enclosed into warmth.
