After a few moments of Will whispering comforting words in his ear, Nico's sobs reduced to quiet sniffles as he finally calmed down.

After coming back to his senses, he realized a change in their surroundings. He reluctantly lifted his head from Will's shoulder( damn! He was nice to cuddle up against) and glanced around. No longer were they on the "Kiss of Death" but instead, they were sitting on a bed in a small, white, tidy room with a faint smell of antiseptic. Confused, he swiveled his head back to face Will, about to demand what had happened when he realized the compromising position that they were currently in.

He was seated right on Solace's lap, one hand intertwined with his and the other grasping his shirt while Will's other hand was resting on Nico's slim waist. Their faces were so close together that their noses almost touched and he could see different shades of blue in Will's equally wide irises.

"Gah!" Nico let out an undignified squawk as he scrambled off Will, both their faces burning in embarrassment, red enough to put tomatoes to shame.

"Uh-m-I...Y-you... What happened?" He managed to stutter out.

At this, Will's gaze turned serious. " Death Boy! You nearly gave me a heart attack! Halfway down the drop, your hand went limp and your head lolled onto my shoulder. I shook you and everything but you just didn't respond! I panicked then because, WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN SOMEONE PASSES OUT RIDING A ROLLER COASTER?! Im actually amazed that you managed to survive the whole ordeal." Nico looked down guiltily at this. Seeing that he was already embarrassed by the whole situation, Will thought that it would be better to leave out the fact that when the roller coaster banked right, his unconscious body flopped right into Will's, smashing their lips together. Not that Will minded though. Death Boy probably had the softest lips known to mankind. Kiss of Death indeed, he thought distractedly as his heart flipped flopped in his chest. "A-anyways, after the ride, I immediately brought you here, the amusement park's infirmary. You'd been out for about, I daresay, 10 minutes now."

Nico digested this piece of information, feeling as though as he had forgotten something... Or someone. Realization hit him like a brick.

"Oh Merda!" He cursed. "Solace! Did you tell my sister where I am?"

Will's eyes grew to the size of dollars. "Crap!" Death Boy's safety had been his top priority and he had been too busy rushing him to the infirmary that in the process, he forgot. To tell. His sister. And also his friends. Where they were. And what was happening. And she must be freaking out right now trying to find her missing brother. Apparently, Nico had arrived to the same conclusion.

"Shit! Phone, phone, phone, phone! Where?! She is going to KILL me!" Will quickly pulled out his phone and handed it to Nico. Grabbing it, he dialed her number at a furious speed. It wasn't long before someone picked up.

Nico sat back down on the bed next to Will and cleared his throat nervously. "Um...hi?"

"NICO DI ANGELO! WHERE. HAVE. YOU. BEEN. FRANK AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE WHOLE PLACE FOR YOU. HOW DARE YOU LEAVE WITHOUT TELLING US!" Nico winced as he held the phone away from his ear. From the sidelines, Will offered a grin and mouthed"scary much?" It earned him a glare and a middle finger.

"Hazel, calm down. I kinda... Passed out?" Before his sister could continue rambling in worry, he quickly intervened, saying,"Im fine though, Im at the infirmary-" He was hung up on by his sister who was in no doubt rushing to where they were right about now. He sighed and handed the handphone back to Will, who wasted no time texting his location to his friends.

"...Hey Will?"

"Yeah Death boy?"

"...Thanks. For the phone, for...everything."

"Hey, it's alright. I mean, if you were me, you would have done the same things too wouldn't you?"

"No, I would have left you there to die."

"You wound me so." Will grabbed his chest, feigning hurt. Nico smirked at this.

Will's gaze turned serious suddenly. He turned to Nico. "So what happened? I know it wasn't just a regular fainting occurrence. You were crying, you were in so much pain. And I felt useless. Though I am a doctor in training, I was unable to do anything to help..." Will gritted his teeth and looked to the side, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"No,Will...Look at me." Nico didn't know where this courage was coming from but he bravely reached out and placed a hand on Will's clenched fist to get him to turn his head. "It wasn't your fault at all. I was having a flashback. That roller coaster somehow triggered it. It happens often so don't worry too much. Besides," he swallowed nervously," you were the one who pulled me out of it. So, T-thank you." Will's hand covered his and squeezed. Nico wasn't a big fan of skinship but somehow he couldn't shake Will away.

"Do you- Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, almost in a whisper. Nico shut his eyes and shuddered, "No. At least, not yet. But one day, I will, when Im ready. " He opened them again and Will found himself drowning in the dark brown pools of his sad, wise eyes. Suddenly realizing that their hands were still clasped, they cleared their throats and hastily released the other's. Why does this keep happening? Nico thought, blushing furiously.

Trying to break the awkward tension between them, Will suddenly had a thought. "Hey! You said 'one day'. Does this mean that we will see each other again?" He grinned cheekily. "Didn't know that you longed to keep in touch with me."

His face turned even redder. "Oh shut up Solace!" He hadn't thought about that.

Will frowned."Speaking of which, I don't even know your name yet. This won't do if we are going to be friends, Death Boy."

"Friends?! Why would you want to be my friend? Im dark and aloof and-"

"Oh shut it. Though I barely know anything about you, the person I see in front of me has a friendly face." Nico was shocked. "Friendly face" was seldom or rather never used to describe him.

"Fine! Whatever... I suppose that would be okay..." Nico mumbled, scowling. This only made Will's grin grow wider.

"Now tell me your naaaaameeeeee," He whined, pressing closer to Nico and giving him puppy dog eyes.

Nico stared at his sad blue eyes and his pouty pouty lips which were nearing him and he felt as if his heart was about to burst. He opened his mouth, about to tell him but with all the distractions in front of him, something entirely different came out.

"Im gay."

Silence.

"-briel. Yeah, that's it, my name is Gabriel."

Hazel chose that moment to burst through the door, shouting,"NICO DI ANGELO! Are you alright?!"

Well, busted, he thought as he face palmed.
