___
Will was getting ready for his 10 year high school reunion. First of all, as soon as he got out of high school, he unfollowed all of those bitches. Color him surprised when he got a DM about the reunion. He hasn't even heard of a 10 year reunion, but whatever, here he is, getting ready.

He doesn't think he made much of an impact in his high school years, he didn't even think people noticed him at school. With almost 0 friends in most of his classes, he would zoom past everything and everyone in the halls.

The venue was fairly close to his old school, but being a doctor in a completely different city, it was hard to decide if he should go or not.

Lou Ellen told him to come because she was sure to be bored as hell of he didn't go, so he sucked it up and decided to go.

"Shocker, shocker" the reunion was at a bar. As soon as Will walked into the bar, memories of his years of school flood back into his mind. He didn't expect to be hit with nostalgia after seeing people he knew. People were holding yearbooks and had name tags. Some people changed, some people didn't, he wasn't exactly sure if they would remember who he was.

He found Lou Ellen near the back, close enough to see who was walking in and out of the bar. He could see that she was judging everyone around her, specifically one group to the left, sitting at the stools near the door.

"Hey Lou," Will sat down.

"Shut up" she said while staring at the group.

"What the hell, I haven't seen you in like months and this is what you say?" Will frowns.

"Shh!!" She raises her finger to shush him and continues staring at the group.

Will rolls his eyes and looks over at the group. He remembers them. They were kind of like bullies, but not in the stereotypical sense that you see on shows, no they made their victims suffer psychological abuse. Constantly harassing them about how they looked and how they act around others in front of them, laughing and giggling to themselves to worsen the blow.

Will never actually got bullied by them, but he hated them anyway. He saw they were laughing and pointing at one student in the yearbook. Nico Di Angelo. Honestly, when they tried to bully him, it didn't really work. He would keep to himself and didn't have many friends, but Will thought he was pretty cool. He had piercings that were covered by his hair that you couldn't really see unless you were really looking hard enough, he was extremely smart and would always get good grades, he had extremely good fashion sense from the earrings to the rings on his hands.

Will would almost always pair up with Nico during pair projects or more since he knew everyone would slack off, but Nico never would. Nico was pretty good company in Will's opinion. He never hated when Will pulled up a chair after the teacher announced a group project or anything. If anything, he would look back at Will and they would make eye contact in acknowledgment that Will was going to come up to him and take a seat. Will liked Nico, he was chill.

Back to the situation, Will leaned in closer to listen to their conversation. He couldn't let them bad mouth his former project member.

"Do you think he'll show up??" One of them snickered.

"I doubt it, I bet he works at like... a hot topic," another one laughed.

"Or became a druggy somewhere at the side of the road," the last one smirked.

Will frowned. He didn't give much thought to what Nico would be doing, but Nico was smart, and he had a whole bunch of ideas that were amazing, he knew Nico wouldn't be any of these things...

Next thing he knew, the entrance bell rang— now, during this whole duration that I, the narrator, was blabbering on and on, this entrance bell was ringing and people continued to file in, but something about this specific bell ring made Will turn— and lo and behold, Nico Di Angelo.

Will thought he looked good. Too good. He was in a nice black suit and his hair was not as messy as he remembered, but he was just a beautiful as he remembered. People seemed to be a little confused at who this handsome man was, and why he was here, but Nico simply took a name tag and wrote his name, placing it onto the lapel of his suit.

The previous group were almost glaring in shock. Will almost felt smug— for what? It's not like he wanted to prove them wrong... right?

Nico walked further into the bar, his eyes scanning for something— someone. Once his gaze reached Will's, his face lit up. Will wanted to pull out some sunglasses, it was stunning.

"Hey, Will, I almost didn't recognize you," he smiled as he walked towards Will's table.

Lou Ellen's face swiveled towards Will in shock. If Will knew anything from childhood friends to lovers books and movies, it's to always act confused when he you reunite with the hot male lead, therefore... Will made a confused face. "Nico? Wow, you look so fancy... I almost didn't recognize you either..."

"Thanks... so how are you? What do you do for work?" Nico blushed.

"Oh, I'm in residency to be a doctor, nothing special... how about you?" Will smiled.

Nico tilted his head in confusion. "I inherited my father's company. I thought I told you about it?"

Will remembers. He just wants that group to feel shame and embarrassment.

"I— I'm sorry, can you jog my memory a bit?" Will smiled sweetly.

Nico smiled politely, "of course! It's Underworld Co."

Silence. It felt as if the whole bar went silent. Did he just say Underworld Co.?

Will snaps his fingers and nods his head, "yes!!! That's right!! Wow, I'm so sorry... so whatcha doing here? Isn't their headquarters on the opposite side of the country?"

Nico chuckled and looked down before meeting Will's gaze. "Yeah... but I really only came here for you."

Will froze. "For me??? Why?"

"Well, I wanted to see you again... and I figured you would go... I mean, if you weren't here, I would've left," Nico chuckled.

Now it was Will's turn to blush. "Oh— oh..."

"'Oh' indeed," Nico smirked, and pointed behind him to the bar. "Wanna grab a drink?"

Will laughed and sighed. "Yeah let's grab a drink."

Will stood up from his table and walked to the bar, as if everyone else didn't exist.
