Their World

“How was your day, honey?” Will asked as Nico came through the door carrying two bags of groceries and dumping them ceremoniously on the kitchen counter. Will out the kettle on.

“Tense,” Nico admitted. “Maeve and Lucy split up so that was awkward.”

“They did?” Will frowned. “Why?”

“Lucy thought Maeve was cheating on her and asked to see her phone and the answer was no.”

“Was she cheating?”

“I don’t know but they had a big blowout over it.”

Will poured the coffee and handed it to Nico, who kissed his cheek on gratitude.

“I see where Maeve’s coming from. Everyone has private conversations. It doesn’t mean you’re cheating."

“If you can’t trust each other then I don’t think you should be together.” Nico shrugged. “You know you could go through my phone anytime, right?”

Will hesitated. “What?”

Nico placed his coffee on the counter and moved to slide his hands up Will’s chest with a teasing smile contradicted by the innocent tilt of his head.

“You can check my phone. I mean, obviously I’d prefer you not to be reading through all my private messages because that wouldn’t be healthy but if I ask you to respond to a text for me or something and you glance at some stuff that’s okay.”

He kissed Will shortly.

“Besides, I’ve hit the jackpot anyway,” he continued. “Intense jealousy and controlling behaviour is abusive. Looking through cute photos of us on my phone is cool. Anything as long as you don’t look at my search history.”

Will chuckled and kissed Nico again.

“Could you use some sleep?” Will asked once they parted.

“I could stay up for a little longer,” Nico suggested with a glint in his eyes.

Will wasn’t a particularly jealous guy. When Nico received a text from a friend and told Will to answer it for him, he did end up looking through some other apps but it was mostly so he could tease Nico about all the games he was playing and Nico was right over his shoulder the whole time.
He ended up in the photos app out of curiosity. Nico had a look on his face that suggested he was up to no good.

“What photos have you been taking?” Will asked. Nico wrapped his arms around Will’s stomach and snuggled into his side.

“Important ones.”

Will started scrolling through. There was one of Hazel with a milkshake, one of Jason pulling a funny face, one of Kayla and Austin jumping into a river.

Then there was one of Nico kissing Will’s cheek, one of Nico and Will on their date, one of Will laughing, one of Will building a fort in the woods, one of Will and Nico dancing, one of Will reading, one of him watching a sunset, one of him sitting on a rock, one of him eating ice cream, one of him chatting happily with his siblings.

Will kept scrolling and there were so many of just him in these small moments he hadn’t even realised Nico had thought to capture.

“Why so many of me?” Will asked. Nico smiled.

“I’m a photographer, Will. My job is to take pictures of the world so I’ve taken lots of mine.”

Will put the phone down to hold Nico close, kissing him in a way that tried to convey just how much this meant, how much Nico meant. Here in their apartment with loved ones and each other was more than enough. He could live in their world forever.
