Solangelo One Shots (fluff)

Story XXVIII

The apartment door slammed closed, the sound of the lock echoing through the hall. Will trudged further inside after hanging up his keys and putting his bag down in front of the shoe rack. He let out an exhausted sigh and ran a hand through his curly hair.

"Nico, I'm home," he tried to call, but his voice only came out cracked due to how tired he was. He toed off his shoes and headed to the kitchen to get some water.

"Hey, sunshine," Nico greeted as he met Will in the kitchen. He went up to his chest and wrapped his arms around him, laying his head on Will's shoulder, inhaling Will's common disinfectant and medicine smell. Will loosely wrapped his arms around Nico's waist, not sure he had much more strength to do any more. Nico noticed. "Long day?" he asked, pulling his head back and moving his hands to cup his husband's face, smoothing his thumbs over Will's cheek bones.

Will nodded wobbly, his eyes droopy and body sore. "Six hour heart surgery and then a seven hour spinal fusion," he mumbled, resting his head further into Nico's hands.

"How about I make you some tea," Nico suggested. "Go sit down on the couch, I'll bring it to you in a jiffy,"

Will tiredly laughed at Nico's wording, then opened his eyes enough to look down at his husband. "You don't have to darling,"

Nico shook his head firmly and patted Will's cheek. "Nope, I'm making you tea. Now go sit your pretty ass down."

Will scoffed, then kissed Nico on the forehead, before slowly making his way to the couch, his feet dragging on the carpet. He sat down with a groan, all of his muscles aching painfully and stiffly as he moved. He let out a long breath as he got comfortable, spreading his legs and leaning his head back on the couch, closing his eyes.

Nico arrived moments later, a steaming mug of tea in his hands. He looked sympathetically at his exhausted husband and placed the mug on the coffee table as he scooted the ottoman over. He gently picked each of Will's feet up and propped his legs on it.

Will jolted awake from his light slumber he had fallen into waiting for Nico. His feet had been propped up and he looked curiously at Nico, who just gave him a smile and handed him the mug of tea, before sitting down right beside him, criss cross.

"Drink," Nico insisted, bringing the steaming liquid to Will's lips. Will did so without argument, letting the soothing peppermint taste flow down his body.

"Thank you," Will said after he took another longing sip. He placed the mug to rest in his lap and gave Nico an attempt at a smile.

"Of course, tesoro," Nico said. Then he crawled closer, standing up on his knees to hover over Will as he ran his fingers comfortingly through the messy curls.

Will tipped his head back and leaned into Nico's touch, humming softly. Nico pressed a brief kiss to his lips, then his cheek. "After you finish your tea, we'll go to the bedroom, okay?"

Will just hummed in response, and took another long sip of tea.

After Will finished his tea, Nico took the mug back to the kitchen. Then he helped Will up and they made their way to their room.

Once he closed the door, Nico immediately went to take off Will's scrubs.

"Whao," Will said as Nico tore off his clothes. "Neeks," he sighed. "We are not having sex tonight," his voice was tired and his eyes were heavy as he looked at his husband.

Nico stopped and giggled, before resuming to take Will's scrubs off. "I know," he said. "I had no intention of doing so to begin with," he smiled down at Will as he pushed him down on their bed so he could take his pants off. "I am going to help you relax,"

Will raised a questioning brow as Nico got down to his underwear. "You have no ulterior motives surrounding the word 'relax'?" Will asked lightly, lifting his hips so his husband could get the clothes off his easier.

Nico scoffed and shook his head. "Not unless you want there to be," he winked. Will shook his head no with a smile. "Alright then, I promise I have no ulterior motives, amore mio." he had finished stripping Will and then hoisted him up and led him to the bathroom.

"Can't we just go straight to bed? I don't think I can stand up long enough to take a shower," Will pleaded as Nico softly kicked the bathroom door open.

"Nope," Nico stated. The bathroom was dimly lit and Will noticed the tub already filled. "No offense but you are disgusting," Will laughed at that. "Also, I promise this will help you, okay?" Nico checked the water with his hand, then propped Will on the side and helped him lower himself into the steaming bath.

Will's muscles released the moment he landed in the bath, tension seeping out of him. "This is great, Nico, thank you so much," Will whispered, his eyes falling closed.

Nico smiled softly at him. Then he reached over the tub to grab some shampoo, sudzing it in his hands, before moving to Will's hair, dampening it and washing it.

Will's eyes snapped open, but then he realized what was happening and relaxed again, leaning his head back into Nico's hands.

Nico finished quickly, and noticed Will had effectively fallen asleep, his mouth agape and snoring softly. He chuckled at his husband before he reached between Will's feet and unplugged the drain, letting the water recede. He carefully woke Will up, petting his arm softly and kissing his head. He woke dazedly, and managed to get out of the tub with much of Nico's help. Nico dried him off, wrapped a towel around his waist, and brought him back to the bedroom.

"Pants, or just boxers?" Nico asked from the dresser as Will sat limply on the edge of the bed.

"Just boxers," he mumbled, just loud enough for Nico to hear. Nico nodded and grabbed a fresh pair of briefs before moving back to Will, wiggling them on and moving Will up the bed so his head was resting in a fluffy pillow.

Nico crawled in beside him, pulling the blankets up, and running a hand along Will's stomach, massaging his aching core and sore arms. His other hand went to play with Will's damp hair, then down to gently rub his ear.

Will let out a long sigh letting himself become lost under Nico's touch, his nimble fingers working magic on his tender muscles. "Nico?" his voice was weak. Nico hummed in acknowledgement. "Can I, can I have a kiss?" he whispered.

Nico smiled and moved up to kiss Will. "Of course," he said before he captured Will's lips, the kiss soft and loving. Nico pulled away after a minute, kissing in between Will's eyebrows, then resting back down beside him, spooning him from the side, arms wrapped around a golden chest and legs intertwined.

"I love you Nico," Will murmured. "So, so much,"

Nico smiled into Will's neck, kissing his shoulder before replying. "I love you too, amore. Now rest." At Nico's final words, Will let sleep consume him.

Hey y'all I am so sorry for another short chapter, but my life has been hectic. Gosh, I have been really sick and my mom had surgery so I haven't been able to work on any longer ones.

Anyway, have a wonderful day/night, drink some water, eat a snack, take care of yourself. You deserve it!

Love always,

Neptune<3
