Tw: Mentions of death and an ED
(Translation for the smushed parts: why aren't you lying anymore, LIE. DON'T OPEN UP.

"So Niccolò, why don't you tell me about your sister. It may help to talk about her in a positive way, yes?" Fredric, Nico's therapist, asked him.

Nico looked up taking a deep breath.
Just lie.
Don't actually talk about her.
Make it all up. 
His brain said but he didn't want too.

"Um well", his voice faltered as he thought about what to say.

"She always hung out with me, I guess." He started.

lies. His ears rung as the voice hissed in his mind as it always did.

"we never really argued that much she was always nice." He said, kind of like a question.

lies.

"She always listened to me." He said, now telling the truth.

whyarentyoulyinganymoreLIE. His head started hurting.

"She stood up for me when I was getting bullied." He tried to ignore the ringing in his ears.

DONTOPENUP.

"She was a good person...", He said.

STOP

"Yes and you miss her a lot I see.", Fredric said. Nico sighed.

just an hour you can last an hour.

"Yes, I do", He said.

After an hour of wanting to strangle his awful, boring therapist then himself it was time too leave. As he always did, Fredric walked him down to his dad's car to give him the report. Though on the way, they passed a boy around Nico's age who caught his eye. He was tall with dark skin, blonde hair, and Dark blue eyes. He was pretty fit and had a whole solar system of freckles across his cheeks. He was absolutely stunning.

"Good afternoon William" Fredric said briefly. Though his name tag said Will. Must be what he prefers.

"Good afternoon doctor" the boy said looking up, locking eyes with Nico for a moment.

Nico blushed and started walking faster, he just wanted to go home. He pushed open the door Fredric following close behind.

"Hey kiddo how'd it go?", His dad said unlocking the car door.

"The same", he said getting in the passenger side.

Fredric walked up to the car and handed his dad some papers.

"Here is his report for today. We did more on opening up and worked on stepping out of his comfort zone.", He said in a very toneless voice.

"That's always good." His dad said.

Nico rolled his eyes and laid his head against the window.

"I will leave you now.", Fredric said as if he were a servant speaking to a king.

Nico half expected him to bow and walk of. Sadly, he didn't and Nico was disappointed, he needed to laugh.
