Will is stuck in a time loop where his most loved one gets killed in front of him in the most gruesome way.

Will is immortal. {291 years old at the beginning, he's in the body of a 16 year old though}

Nico gets reincarnated, but remembers everything of his past lives. {14 years old at the beginning }

Tell me how old Will is at the end of the one shot bc I won't know. Or I will tell you a little bit, but not his actual age.

It's really long btw... so have fun-?

TW: vivid descriptions and horrible deaths.

____________________________________

Life always wasn't like this. It's only because I pissed off the gods. I'm not entirely sure what I did to become like this. But this is my punishment. I don't even know how many years it's been. Hundreds? Thousands? Millennia? Of course, I never meant to hurt anyone or piss anyone off.

As time went by, my friends and family disappeared. I was an empty shell. No emotions. No warmth to give. No warmth to receive. Until I met him.

He was different. Although he didn't mean to show it, he was the brightest and smartest person I've ever met. He was stubborn, but loving. First time I met him, he was a short, younger person. Black hair, pale skin, brown eyes.

Nico. Ahhh, the name that gave me joy. The name that made me smile. That name that made me a person. The time I met him it was like ghea herself smiled. It was fate. I didn't mean to hurt him.

As time went by, I spent more time with Nico. The only name and person I could remember. But I spent too much time with him. The gods saw him as a chance to get back at me.

After 1 year of knowing him, he died. A cruel and painful death. After meeting, a single year would remain, sometimes not even, before The Fates cut Nico's string. This is the story of my world falling apart.

[BTW this is the first year of them meeting. Like the beginning of the story. They've been dating for almost 12 months and Will doesn't know what will happen.]

"Nico!" I called. He turned his head, revealing a smile. As we hugged, I smelled the sun itself. Such freshness, such happiness, such life.

"Will!" Nico pushed me off of him. "Jeez, you have to do that every single time we see each other!"

"Of course, Sunshine, how can I not!" I kissed Nico on the forehead. Nico laughed and dragged me to see a small nest of baby birds. "This little guy fell out of the nest. Wanna help me put him back?"

"Oh course, Di Angelo!" I smiled.

The tree was in the middle of a field. A fallen tree by its side, it had a thick trunk and many branches still attached. I hoisted Nico up on my shoulders. He began to climb the tall tree to where the nest was located. He scooted himself to the end of the thin branch. Crack. A small divot in the branch began to grow bigger and bigger.

"NICO! GET OUT OF THERE THE BRANCH WILL BREAK!" I yelled. Nico couldn't even look at me when the whole branch broke, a loud thud echoed in the field.

I opened my eyes and saw my beloved on the fallen tree. His back broken, a large and thick branch through his stomach. He died on the spot.

"Ah-" I felt the tears stream down my face. "N..Nico... please, wake up... this isn't funny."

I held his little face in my hands. The beautiful light that always sparkled in his eyes was gone. I called for help. Townspeople ran to help. I told them what happened. No matter how many times I tried to take the blame, no one blamed me. Not even his parents.
