『〔Solangelo One Shots〕』

First

There were two best friends.

They both had it all. Will had the looks, family, girlfriend. Nico had it all too. Looks, smarts, friends. They were the most envied of all their school.

They've known each other since birth, or before since their parents were friends. They were competitive, but not so hardcore. They always wanted to be first. First in line, first to sleep, first to love.

Will and his girlfriend were the couple of the school. They stood out in a crowd, they were perfect... in the eyes of others.
Truthfully, they argued. Fought. Bickered.
Truthfully, they were far from perfect.

Nico, on the other hand, never had a girlfriend, nor wanted one. Focusing more on school, he didn't care, nor want a special partner... or so everyone thought. He wanted that one person. But he never did. So, he focused on school. Rejecting everyone who asked.

They were the kings of the school, but not for long. Nico was moving, his family was leaving town, and Will didn't know. Nico decided to surprise him at his house.

Will stormed into his room, discarding his windbreaker onto the ottoman on the side of his bed. "Ugh! She's so- what are you doing here?!? How did you get in?" Will fumed.

"Pfft, seems like you have a dilemma?" Nico laughed, sitting on Will's bed.

"You have no idea," Will rolled his eyes.

"You guys should communicate mor-"

"Oh, shut up!" Will snapped. "What do you know, you've never had a girlfriend! Stop trying to micromanage my relationship before you get one yourself. It's pissing me off!"

"I- okay, I'm sorry," Nico said. "Anyway- I have something to tell you-"

"What. Do you have something against me too? Did I smudge your makeup, or ruin your vibe, or pick you up 2 seconds late?!?" Will glared.

"No-"

"Then what?!? What did I do wrong?!? Do you have something against me, Nico?!?" Will yelled.

"I SAID NO!" Nico stood up.

"Then what do you want?!?" Will threw his arms up in the air. "I swear, everyone is so annoying! Especially you! You keep smiling and laughing and acting all happy, when you're hiding something- I know you are!"

"OF COURSE I AM!"

"THEN WHAT?!? WHAT IS IT THAT'S SO IMPORTANT YOU COME INTO MY ROOM?!? SAY IT NOW AND LEAVE!" Will yelled.

"You know what? Fine! You've been acting like you have a foot up your ass ever since you've been dating her. You aren't yourself- no, you're never yourself since you met her. You've been bitchy, and- and, snobby and a complete dick!" Nico said.

"Hah, how do you know what I'm truly like? I'VE HATED YOU SINCE I FIRST MET YOU!" Will yelled.

Nico, who was taken back by those words, stood confused and angry. "Since you first met me? I'VE KNOW YOU SINCE WE WERE IN OUR MOTHER'S STOMACHS! I'VE BEEN WITH YOU FOR EVERYTHING! YOUR FIRST CRUSH, GIRLFRIEND, BREAKUP, SCHOOL FUNDRAISER- EVERYTHING!"

Will just stared at Nico, his eyes were filled with such hatred, it could kill.

"You've hated me for that long?" Nico asked weakly, his voice cracking.

"..." Will opened his mouth to answer, but soon closed it.

"You've been with me through everything too... my first time riding a bike, playing baseball, reading a book... you were even with me... my first heartbreak..." Nico whispered.

Will didn't hear the last thing Nico said. "What? I was with you... for your first heartbreak? But you've never had a girlfriend?"

"I didn't say for my first heartbreak, I said as my first heartbreak," Nico said through clenched teeth.

Now it was Will's turn to be shocked. He stood there stupidly, like a child when their mother caught them red handed for stealing candy. "W-what?"

Nico shook his head. "I've liked you for years, couldn't you tell? I guess you've been so stuck up your own life... you'd didn't think to look at mine. Didn't think it'd end like this, actually."

"What do you mean?" Will asked.

"I'm moving, Will. That's the real reason why I'm here," Nico whispered. "Felt like you should've been the first person to know and be happy for me... guess I was wrong."

"Wait- what do you mean leaving-" Will attempted to grab Nico's arm, but he moved away.

"I've been with you for everything," Nico walked to the door and smiled. "This time... I'm going to be the first one who's independent."

"Wai-"

"Goodbye, Will," Nico walked out. "Have a nice life."

The door closed, forcing an wall between Will and Nico for the very first time.

There were two friends,
one just happened to be in love with the other.
