Mon Cheri (Solangelo AU)

Chapter 7

Will waited outside of Nico's last class, as he'd been doing for the last month (he snuck out of class five minutes earlier so he could catch Nico and the fact that he sat at the backlog class was good for that sort of thing). They'd walk down to the dining room and meet up with the rest of the group, proceeding to attempt at doing their homework together until dinner. And Nico had really started warming up to them, he smiled a little too and joined in on conversations. Although, he never really opened up and Will promised himself that he'd get Nico to trust him and he'd make sure he never broke his trust. But his friends had really warmed up to him too. And Will of course was liking him more and more with each day that came to pass.
The bell rang. Students started shoving out of class and Will waited for Nico to be the last one out, as always. Nico got to his side and they walked in synch downstairs, Will tuned in to a conversation by their side as they walked by the couple.

"—the dance with me?"

"Travis, I swear, if this is one of your pranks, I will cut off your dick in your sleep and shove it so far up your ass, it'll come out of your nose. Then I'll feed it to some stray dog."

"Katie, I swear on Connor's life that it isn't."

"Are you sure..." Their voices trailed off as they left them behind.

"I'm guessing you've heard of the dance happening in two weeks?" Will asked.

Nico rolled his eyes, "No one will shut up about it."

"Has anyone asked you?"

"What? To be their date?"

Will nodded.

Nico snorted. "Of course not. It's me. Who would want to go to a dance with me?"

Will scratched the back of his neck, suddenly nervous about what he was going to ask. "For the record, I'd love to go with you so, would you be my date to this years fall dance?"

Nico seemed shocked for a second before answering, shaking his head. "There is no way in hell I will be your date to a dance."

All of a sudden, Will wasn't nervous anymore but determined to get this amazing boy to be his date to the dance. "Oh c'mon, di Angelo. You already sang with me in front of lots of people, who by the way cheered us on, would it be so bad to be my date to a dance?"

"What makes you think I'm attracted to you in any way and would enjoy going on a date with you?"

"You've gone before."

"So it was a date."

"You said you had fun." Will pointed out, remembering every detail from that night in something way higher quality than HD.

He threw his hands up. "I didn't know saying that would come back and bite me in the ass!"

"It doesn't have to hurt, I can treat that ass wound for you." Will threw him a cheeky grin. "I'm basically technically a doctor."

Nico glared at him. "You're still in high school, you are not a doctor and there is no way I will ever let you near my ass."

"We'll see about that."

Nico blushed and looked away, making an effort at not turning to look at him again. "I'm not going to a dance with you. I don't do dances."

"You're still new here. You don't know how the dances are. Give it a chance."

"I'd rather not."

"Okay, I know you're having problems with your math and science classes. I'll tutor you if you go with me."
