As I promised, I'm back with chapter six. And this chapter is dedicated to Angel of FRIVOLOUS CAKES818 for the idea- and for the congratulations cupcake- as well as 7GattiNeri for the ending.

Age:13

"No no no!"

"Why won't you die already!"

"Shield! Shield! Why won't my stupid shield go up!"

Will furiously pressed the A button, trying to get his shield up. In a last minute attempt to beat Nico, he jumped on him, and I mean literally jumped on him in real life. Nico's controller went flying, but he couldn't care less. Will was laying on top of him. Wavy blond hair brushed against Nico's face and he stared at Will's bright blue eyes shining with victory as Will's character kicked the crap out of Nico's.

"Ha!" Will shouted, "I finally killed you!"

"So that's what?" Nico asked, "Fourteen for me. Negative two for you?"

"Negative two? How am I in the negatives?" Will asked curiously.

"You self destructed three times remember?" Nico said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh. Yeah. Best fifteen out of twenty nine?" Will inquired.

"You're on," Nico said, a smile filling his face.

"Best twenty-nine out of fifty-seven?" Will shouted.

He had practically become deaf when they turned up the volume all the way. Will knew this was bad for his ears, but it made Nico visibly more happy, and even Will felt a little more happy on the inside as the sounds bounced off the walls.

"Will, you're at negative seven!" Nico yelled back, "There's no way you can make a comeback now!"

"Well I can try!" Will shouted, "I have my secret weapon!"

"What did you say?!" Nico said.

Will turned the volume down a bit.

"I said that I can try. That I still have my secret weapon," Will said.

Two hours later the boys still sat there, fighting each other, although things had taken quite a turn.

"Best thirty out of fifty-nine?" Nico pleaded.

You read that right. Nico pleaded. Will had managed to win the tie breaking match.

"Well, I don't know," Will contemplated.

"Come on," Nico whined, "You cheated."

"Fine," Will relented, "One more round."

"But this time put a shirt on," Nico complained, "or at least cover up."

He threw a blanket at Will, knocking him over. Both boys were laughing, but Nico's face was bright red. A few weeks before, Nico had broken down and told Will his biggest secret. Nico was gay. Now Will was surprised, as Nico expected him to be, but when Nico broke down into tears in the middle of his explanation Will didn't back away from him, or tell him he was a creep or a weirdo. No, Will gathered him in a hug, telling him everything would be okay. And for this, Nico was grateful. He needed his best friend to get through it.

Other than Will, Nico hadn't breathed a word of any of this to anyone else, especially his father, who wasn't around most of the time anyway and probably wouldn't take it that well in that old fashioned mind of his.

They started the next game, but Nico was still distracted by Will's wavy blonk hair brushing over his forehead, and the smile playing across his face, not to mention the image of Will's bare torso burned into his mind from just a few minutes earlier. Forget that, Nico told himself, focus on the game. He turned back to the television, but the screen would go blurry and he'd find himself looking back at Will's smiling face.

Will glanced over and caught Nico's eye. Nico whipped his head away, his cheeks tinged pink. Will giggled. He couldn't help himself. Nico looked so adorable as he stubbornly played the video game. Will's thoughts took a crazy turn as he saw Nico chewing on his lip. Whoa, where did that come from, Will thought, shaking his head.

Soon enough, Nico's character landed one final punch, pushing Will's character off the edge. Nico began a little victory dance. Will smirked at that before making a split second decision.

Will wrapped his arms around Nico, pulling him close and pressing his lips to Nico's, causing Nico to melt in his arms.

Nico's lips are soft.

Will's lips are warm.

He smells like spearmint and apples.

He smells like oranges and bandages.

They both stood there, arms wrapped around each other and lips pressed for what seemed like forever, but was probably only a few seconds. They separated, Nico's face a bright red. That's when Nico fainted, falling flat on the floor.

I feel like that's how Nico would react, just completely overwhelmed and overly happy to the point that he would faint. Anyway- always open to ideas. After all, you guys are my peeps and I write all of this for you.
