Part 17

Will POV

I smiled, tucking Nico's hair behind his ear.

This was our last morning in this house. And this was also one of our last mornings together before I was going back to Texas.

I wasn't sure how to feel about that. I loved Texas. It was my home and i wanted to go back. But part of me also wanted to stay in New York. 

Being here showed me how much I still loved Nico. Ever since i saw his face again, i knew i couldn't deny it anymore.

I was angry for a very long time after he left. I tried to blame it on him but i knew deep down that it was myself i was angry with. 

I was the one who couldn't convince him not to go. I was the one who let him leave. I was the one who didn't go with him.

If i had been there, maybe i could've done something. Maybe i could've helped.

No Will, stop thinking like that I thought to myself, rubbing my eyes, it's too late now.

Besides, we are here now. Nico was passed out on my chest and honestly i didn't care about anything else at the moment.

I brushed my fingers through his hair again, smiling.

I didn't know what we were going to do after i got back to Texas. I was terrified.

"Nico get up its-"

I glanced up, seeing Hazel bursting through the door.

"Oh sorry," she said, turning around and walking back towards the door.

I bit my lip slightly, confused. 

Did Nico tell her?

"Oh wait HOLD ON," she spun around, her eyes wide. She pointed between us frantically, confusion painting her face.

"Yeah?" I laughed, pretending to be clueless.

"I-" she gestured at Nico who was asleep on my chest.

"Oh yeah," I smiled, tucking his hair behind his ear, " I guess we're caught."

"I- okay then," she shook her head, "But will you wake him up within the next hour because we've got to leave soon."

"You want me to wake him up?" I laughed. Nico was not a very happy person in the morning, much less after getting woken up by someone.

"Yup," she smiled, turning around and walking back out the door.

Nico mumbled something under his breath, turning his head.

"You okay baby?" I whispered, still playing with his hair.

"If it is still considered morning, then no," he muttered, "also, was that Hazel?"

"Yeah," I bit my lip slightly, scared of what he was going to say.

"Eh okay," He yawned, burying his head in my chest.

"Neeks, we have to get up soon,"

He groaned but still didn't get up. 

"Nico..." I sighed, twirling his hair in my fingers.

"Five more minutes?"

"Fine, five minutes," 

We sat in silence for a minute as i traced my fingers down his back.

"Will?" he whispered, taking my hand and interlocking our fingers.

"Yes Sunshine?"

"Were you going? Like you know, once we leave?"

"I don't know man, I have a flight back to Texas in a week but who knows what i'm actually going to do,"

"Would you stay with me in New York if i asked you to?" he asked, tracing his fingers over my hand.

"Of course," I answered without any hesitation. I was hoping he would ask. I just wanted to be with him. I didn't care where, i just wanted to be with him.

"Then will you come stay with me?"

Without any hesitation i answered.

"Absolutely,"
