Nico had bumped into Will today, and god, it was awkward. The blonde was running towards the infirmary with about a mile of gauze trailing behind him. At full breakneck speed, Will had crashed into Nico, leaving the scrawny italian awkwardly pinned under the taller boy. But Nico had noticed something odd- Will hadn't sprung up right away. And Nico hadn't pushed him off, either. In fact, Nico would've loved to just stare at that perfect face for hours.
So yeah-awkward.
After the fall, Nico knew that the whole "think-of-this-adorable-human-only-at-night" plan wasn't gonna last very long. But, hey, he had to try.
~oOo~
Will could not stop beating himself up mentally. Why didn't he just get up right after he fell? Oh god, what if Nico noticed how red his face was? If his siblings weren't sleeping right next to him, he would groan. Will had never had a crush on someone this badly before. And it made him feel very odd. He had had relationships but he couldn't remember having a crush that took up so much mental space before. Nico DiAngelo stuck in his brain like nothing else, and he needed to do something about it.
