  Will's suicide watch was over, so he was back at home. Considering Will was in the hospital, the outpatient facility wouldn't take him back. Will had heard Apollo and Hyacinth talking about an inpatient facility and nothing terrified him more.

  Suddenly, his phone buzzed, cutting off his eavesdropping on his fathers' conversation. He looked down to see Leo's contact information lighting up his screen. He quickly answered it, stepping into his room.

  "Hello?"

  "Will?" Leo asked, and he sounded a bit hurt and defeated.

  "Are you-"

  "First of all, I miss you a lot," Leo changed the subject, like he always does to avoid conversations like that. "Second...how do you woo Nico di Angelo?"

  "Why are you asking me?"

  "Aside from the fact that you dated him? Hmm...let me check my list," Leo replied sarcastically, causing Will to laugh.

  "Alright, alright...Just be yourself."

  There was an overwhelming silence on the other line. Will called out a, "Leo?"

  "Have you met me?" he asked quietly, causing Will to furrow his eyebrows. "People don't...Nico doesn't like people like me. How am I supposed to just be myself?"  

  "I'm going to call him."

  "Please don't-"

  Will ended the call and dialed Nico's number. The Italian answered almost immediately.

  "Will! I miss you-"

  "Miss you too. Also, how do you feel about Leo?" Will asked, excited to play gay matchmaker.

  "Um...what do you mean?"

  "How do you feel about Leo?" Will repeated and heard Nico sigh on the other end.

  "I think he's an idiot," Nico responded, a fond tone in his words. Will could tell he was smiling. "I also think he's got really pretty and intoxicating chocolate eyes. And...shit."

  "You totally like him."

  "No! I like Percy."

  "Ha, no you don't, di Angelo. You like Leo."

  "Fine, so what if I do? He's very attractive and he's so warm and his hugs are so nice and his lips, God, I'd do anything-"

  "Call him."

  "What?"

  "Call him and tell him," Will demanded. "He likes you too, trust me. Just do it. I promise you won't regret it."

  "If I embarrass myself and lose my best friend, I will end you, Solace."

  Will snickered, before ending the call and waiting for the text that will say, "You're right. Thank you."

  It didn't come and part of Will wanted to think Nico chickened out, and the other hoped the two were getting some dick.

  Speaking of...

  He quickly opened up him and Connor's message thread and texted him.

will: Will you meet up with me at the ice cream shop?

  connor: only of its a date

  will: Alright. See you in twenty.

  Will grinned and checked his appearance in his mirror. He sighed, not wanting to examine his flaws any further, before sneaking out and walking towards the ice cream shop.

  He remembered when he first came here. Things were so different back then, when Connor and Will weren't exactly in love yet, but they still liked each other. When Will was shy and stuttered around Connor. Back when everything was simple because Will wasn't broken.

  He sighed sadly, before sitting in a booth. Connor showed up, holding a lone sunflower.

  "I didn't have enough money to buy you a bouquet like I always do and then get us ice cream, so I stopped at a field and got you this. I know it's not much but-"

  "Connor, it's lovely," Will said and Connor beamed, a small blush on his cheeks. He sat across from Will, before offering to pay for the ice cream. Will, of course, declined, but Connor was stubborn as hell and got in line.

  Will was so in love with him. He sighed in content. When Connor came back, Will stood up, the sunflower in his hand.

  "Why don't we hang out at your place?" Will suggested and Connor shrugged.

  "Alright."

  Connor led them to his car and started it, before pulling out of the parking lot as he began the way to his house. Will thanked Connor for the ice cream and kissed him on the cheek, causing Connor's heart to leap in his chest. They pulled up into Connor's driveway, before the brunette opened Will's door, letting him out. Will would be lying if he said he didn't blush like a little school girl.

They entered and Will smiled. It was nice and homey, and maybe a bit messy, but Will didn't mind. Connor led him up into his room, sitting down on the bed as he continued to eat his ice cream. Will sat across from him and grinned at the brunette.

"Where's Travis?"

"Probably with Katie," Connor shrugged, a smirk on his face. Will grinned and nodded, before sighing.

"And your parents?"

"At work. It's only four, you know..." he trailed off and Will looked at the clock on Connor's bedside table, whispering out an, "oh."

Before Connor finished his ice cream, Will leaned forward and pressed their lips together. One of Connor's hands cradled Will's face and the other sat on Will's hip. The blonde's hands pressed firmly against Connor's shirt, bunching it up in his fists to pull him closer. Connor deepened the kiss, surprising Will.

Connor realized Will's mouth was cold and tasted like raspberry. Connor tasted like vanilla and coconut, and Will was intoxicated by it. They sat for a while, kissing until they couldn't breathe as they pulled away, Connor leaning his forehead against Will's.

"God, I'm so fucking in love with you," Connor whispered and Will's stomach fluttered with butterflies, before he repeated the words to Connor, whose eyes lit up.

Will's arms wound around Connor neck, and the brunette's hands held onto Will's hips. They just looked into each other's eyes, before Connor leaned in and kissed Will softly.

Will felt like it was meant to be. They fit so well together, there was no way they weren't soulmates in a previous life.

It was almost bittersweet.
