Battle Wounds: Solangelo Soulmate AU

TWENTY

NICO POV:
"I may not be able to drive but you two can so we're going to the back garage and you're each gonna pick a car," I say grabbing all 6 keys to the cars that I have in my name.

"What?" Will says disbelievingly. "I'm not taking one of your cars."

"If you don't my dad will," I shrug. I've been able to keep it together so far with Will's mom in the room but my hands are still shaking which is making the keys jangle in my hands. Will takes them from me wordlessly.

"Call it my payment to you for letting me live in your house," I say when I see his mom about to jump in and argue. "Besides, I'm not leaving all of my baby's behind if I can help it."

Will smirks at me, "Did you just call your cars your babies?"

"Yes," I say putting my hands on my hips, "Once you've paid 100 grand for a car even before you get it jacked up and customized you'll understand."

Both of their jaws drop to the floor. "Did you just say 100 grand?" Will's mom says scandalized.

"Yeah," I said grimacing.

"Jesus, I knew you were rich but good lord," he says laughing.

"It's too bad we can't get them all," Will says teasingly, "Since they're your babies and everything."

"Well you guys only have a two-car garage so we can't fit more than three cars, we'll have to park one on the curb or in the driveway," I say.

"How are we gonna get three cars?" Will asks. "We're already gonna have to come back for my mom's car."

"Yeah, I'll drive the third back," I say, thinking that was obvious.

"You got your license revoked with your parole?"
Will's mom says looking at me with her motherly scold.

"It's just across the neighborhood, I'll even go the speed limit if it makes you feel better," I roll my eyes.

"What if you get caught," Will asks.

"I'm not gonna get caught, I just said I'll go the speed limit."

"Whatever, let's just get the cars loaded with your bags," Will's mom says throwing her hands up. "I've given up on you already."

I grin at her, "That's probably for the best." Will glares at me. "What?"

"You're an idiot!" he scolds.

"It's barely a 5-minute drive!"

"Yeah whatever," he scoffs at me, "I still don't believe you're gonna do the speed limit."

"You've never seen me drive," I say incredulously. "I'm a very safe driver."

"You've already told me how many speeding tickets you've got," he reminds me.

"Oh," I say blushing, "Moving on, let's go get the cars."

They both laugh at me so I push my way out of my room and down the stairs to lead them out back. When I open the back door and step out I hear both of them gasp as we step outside. When I turn around I see both of their jaws are dropped wide open.

"What?" I ask looking around.

"You have a pool and a hot tub and you never thought to tell me?" Will says like I robbed him of something.

"It's winter," I say pointing at the snow on the ground.

"Hot tubs are hot for a reason," he glares at me.

I roll my eyes but walk over to the back garage and open it revealing 4 out of my 6 cars and 2 of my dads. My other two are out front. I point out which ones are mine and then remind Will of the other two upfront.
