Wrong Number

Chapter Eleven:

Even though Nico had said he didn't want a relationship across a screen the first thing he did when he got home was logging into Skype and sending Will a message.

Hey I just arrived, wanna Skype as I unpack?

Nico got a reply almost instantly a if Will was just waiting for that message.

Yup I'll call you.

Nico set his laptop on his desk and angled it so he could be seen. Then he laid his suitcase on the bed and began opening it.

Only seconds later did his computer start making noises telling him that he was receiving a call. Nico strode over and accepted it, momentarily sitting on the desk chair.

"Hey Will," he said tiredly.

Will grinned as soon as Nico appeared on the screen. "Neeks," he said excitedly like a little kid that was just told they were allowed candy.

"How was the flight?"

Nico groaned just thinking of it. "Long and tiring."

Will frowned. He was probably trying to think of it in an optimistic way. "Well," he said, "at least your home now."

"I'm not home," Nico muttered folding some of his clothes and placing them in a closet.

"What?"

Nico looked at the screen. "I'm not home if you're not here."

The rest of that day was torture for Will. After ending the skype call he felt horrible. With the time difference it would be hard for them to schedule times to talk.

Goodnight <3

Nico had sent that message almost an hour ago.

Sweet dreams <3

Will had sent almost immediately after.

Above all bad feelings one horrible thought hovered in Will's mind like the plague. What if Nico found a cuter, funnier, better boyfriend in Italy?

And Will knew the thought wouldn't go away until he could hold Nico in his arms again.

The next day Will's mom forced him to attend school despite his failing attempts to act sick. When he had explained this to Lou she burst out in laughter.

"See," Will narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, "this is exactly the things a wanted to avoid today."

Lou was still laughing. "You... should've told.....your mum....you....were .... LOVE SICK!" She wheezed in-between laughs. Her comment  started another laugh fest.

Will grabbed her arm, sighing, and began steering her in the direction of their first class.

Nico skipped his school tour that day.

He didn't want a tour. He wanted Will. And adjusting to a new school and life would not help him get back to his boyfriend.

Nico stayed at home instead. He was blasting his loudest music not even listening to it when Bianca burst into his room.

"NICO!" She shouted over the music.

He gave her no reply.

"NICO DI ANGELO!" She yelled louder stomping over and stopping the music all together.

Nico looked up at her. "What?" He drawled.

Bianca sighed. "You're acting like you were before you met Will. Why?"

"Maybe," he said annoyance seeming into his tone, "it's because we moved away from Will."

She bit her lip. "Well you're still dating right?" Nico nodded. "Well then it's okay, he's still yours."

Nico scoffed. "Yeah mine, a thousand miles away."
