Solangelo One-shots.

Heart Doctor.

Nico hummed in silent appreciation when Will ran his fingers through his hair, scratching softly at Nico's scalp. 

"You're cute." Will mumbled softly, and Nico allowed a small smile to stretch across his face. 

Only Will saw him at his most vulnerable. Like right now, when both boys were on Nico's bed, Will sitting cross-legged, Nico's head in his lap. It was one of those days again, when Nico had trouble sleeping due to his nightmares, and Will was there, to comfort him. 

"Thanks for being here," A pause. "Again." 

"I'm always here." Will answered as he continued his gentle assault on Nico's scalp. 

Nico felt his stomach flutter at the blond's response. Nico's never felt this way before. His heart, ever since he's lost Bianca had never been so full and warm. When he decided to stay at Camp Half Blood and actually forged friendships with other campers, he was happy. 

But when Will and him started dating, it was another kind of happy completely. It filled his heart with all sorts of emotions, and for once, Nico felt completely raw, like he could forget all his worries and insecurities. 

"You know, when I was younger, I always wanted to be a heart doctor." 

"Well, you are a doctor. But, why specifically a heart doctor?" 

Will let out a soft laugh when he recalled. "Because I thought that heart doctors could heal broken hearts." 

He paused. 

"And I wanted to heal my mother's."

"Mommy, I know what I wanna be when I'm all grown up."  

"Oh yeah? What's it gonna be then, chipper?"  Naomi asked, her mouth in a thin smile. 

"A doctor, mommy!"  

"There are many kinds of doctors, Will." Naomi smiled again, but this time, it reached her eyes. 

"Oh, I know, Mommy. I wanna be a heart doctor. Because heart doctors can fix all the broken hearts in the world!" 

Naomi's smile fell, and she clutched her heart. Tears pooled in her eyes and she struggled to answer. 

" Oh, honey." She spreaded her arms as an invitation for a hug. 

Will accepted the hug, feeling the warm tears that fell down his mother's cheeks. 

"If only. If only."

"I didn't fix her heart, but, well, she got better. Anyway, it was funny how I thought that heart doctors fixed broken hearts." 

"You did fix a broken heart, Will." 

"What? When?" 

Nico lifted himself from Will's lap, and shot the blond a smile. "Mine, you dork." 

Will's jaw dropped, and he flushed a bright pink. 

"R..really?" 

Nico giggled softly. "Yeah." 

"Wow, oh, okay. Um." Nico smirked, and leaned closer to the flustered and stuttering boy. 

"So, in a way," Their breaths mingled at the small space that separated their lips. "You did become a heart doctor." 

Their lips touched, and Nico smiled against Will's lips. Their kiss was the kind of kiss that made butterflies explode in your stomach, the kind of kiss that made you feel secure and safe. The kind of kiss that was filled with utter love, without a single trace of lust or desire. 

And with that, both males parted and settled in bed, welcoming sleep with open arms. 

End.
