Trauma [Solangelo]

Will asks a Personal Question

This is not my art

Will POV

I got into the driver's seat and Nico got in shotgun.

"Here play a song," I said while giving him my phone.

A moment later, a song I had never heard of before began playing.

"What's this song called?" I asked.

"It's called 'Leave me Alone' by NF," Nico replied. "I love all of his songs. They're the perfect amount of rapping, singing, and depressing."

We definitely did not have the same taste in music. Nico kept playing songs by NF. All the rapper does is shout and sometimes sing. How does Nico like his music? (AN-- NF is my favorite rapper/singer, so you should go check his songs out)

We arrived at my house about nine minutes later. It wasn't much. Just a two story house with an attached garage. I had heard rumors that Nico's family is really rich and that his dad is a famous real estate broker. I knew nothing of his mom though.

When Nico was out of the car, he reached for his back pack, but I was quicker. I snatched it from the seat.

"You're the guest, therefore I should be the one to carry your stuff in,"

He rolled his eyes, but I could see a smile creeping on his face. It warmed my heart.

"Hey mom, I'm home,"I calld out as we enterd my house.

"Hey sweetie. Oh who's your friend?"

"This is Nico. We were assigned to be partners for a school thing," I responded.

"Well it's nice to meet you Nico. You can call me Naomi." She held out her hand, waiting for Nico to shake it. After a few moments, he reluctantly shook my mom's hand before pulling it away after half a second.

"Come in, come in," my mom invited.

As Nico went ahead, I whispered to my mom, "He's not one for touching," I informed her and she just nodded her head.

"Okay Nico, let's go up to my room and we can brainstorm about stuff on the white board."

All I got in response was a head nod. I wondered why he didn't talk very much. I decided that I would ask him that question since we have to get to know each other for the essay anyways.

I started heading upstairs with Nico following. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets and he was looking down as he walked behind me.

I reached my room and sat on my bed. Nico came a few moments later, but just stood at the door. He looked right into my eyes as if asking for permission.

"You can come in," I chuckled.

Nico walked in and again just stood there. I patted on the bed and he sat down. I found it kinda weird that he kept asking permission for little things.

"Okay ima look up some questions to ask you for the paper."

I brought out my phone and searched up questions. I began reading them.

"Favorite color and why?"

"Umm yellow," he responded.

I raised an eyebrow at his answer.

"Why?"

"I don't know I just like.....my life was kinda lonely and dark and I kinda wanna escape the darkness....you know?"

His answer almost brought tears into my eyes. I gazed into his beautiful big dark brown eyes. They were full of sadness and you could just see how broken he was. I could stare into his eyes for so long, but I was interrupted.

"Umm okay what's the next question?" Nico asked.

I glanced at my phone. I suddenly had a really good idea. The next question said to ask the person what their favorite animal is.

"Umm this is kind of a weird one but the phone asks what sexuality are you?"

Okay okay, I'm not the best at cliffhangers but that was the idea. Make sure to comment how I can write better and other ideas for the plot. Have a great day!!! Please vote!!
