Grieving (solangelo au)

Make a wish (nicos birthday chapter)

Nico's pov (again) (this is so late) (check authors note at the bottom)

Friday morning I woke up warm and content. It was a nice wake up too. My legs were tangled with Wills and he was kissing the back of my neck.
His mom usually got annoyed when he slept over at my house on week days because he has to drive his brother and sisters most mornings. It's fine if I sleep there just not here. I'm very thankful she likes me now because she is very accommodating and she and Will made a deal.
Since it was my birthday, Will took me to the movies last night but we drove in my car so his car would be at his house, and his mom said she would drive Kayla and Austin.
Will and I got back at 11:00 last night and climbed into my bed. We were both really tired so we just laid beside each other and cuddled with the rare start of conversation of quiet murmurs.
It was relaxing. I was half asleep when he started to play with my hair, and run his fingers through it which made me drift into a deep sleep and have no dreams.

"Neeks? Sunshine are you awake?" Will whispered in my ear.  I was still sleepy but I didn't feel like falling asleep again so I flipped over to face him. He smiled warmly at me (my smile) and I smiled sleepily back at him. I could never give him a smile that showed the amount of emotion his did, but smiles from me were rare (not around him but whatever) and hopefully that was enough from me.

"Happy birthday neeks," he said. He kissed my nose and I didn't attempt to wipe it off.

"Morning," I yawned and stretched. I sat up rubbing my eyes, that were surveying my room. They caught on a brightly wrapped birthday present that had a design of some sort, but I couldn't see with out my glasses, which were on my bedside table.
I looked questionably at Will who was standing up and walking around the bed to me. He stood in front of me and got me to stand up as well.
I still thought it was unfair he was taller than me, and that our eyes couldn't meet unless I tilted my head slightly.

"So I've set up a bunch of things for today but first we will start with a traditional present so," he snatched the present off the desk and I grabbed my glasses off my bedside table. Once it was on my lap I saw the wrapping paper were little cartoon Suns with smiley faces.
I glared at him but had amused smile laced with it.
I was super excited to open it but scare at the same time.
Will sat beside me and motioned for me to open it.

"Come on Nico, open it up!" He exclaimed impatiently so I took off the black bow on the top of it and started to rip the paper.
There was a brown box inside.

"I love boxes, how did you know," I muttered sarcastically and Will chuckled
I lifted the box flaps and lifted out the first item, a box of gourmet chocolates, varied from milk, dark and white chocolate.
They looked really good.
I smiled at him brightly and lifted the next thing, which was a new speaker, one I could carry around with me, since the only one I had was the one in my room that played my CDs.

"Will you're crazy," I sighed, not understanding how I went from being overly annoyed with Will to overly in love.

"You're not done yet," he replied
I took out the last thing and unfolded it. It was a black version of the grey sweater I stole from him. I stole it for two reasons, because it was literally the warmest thing on earth (other than will himself) and it was super soft, and because it smelled of Will and comforted me whenever I wore it.

"Now you can give me mine back!" Will said happily but knew what was coming when I looked at him.

"You and me both know you're not getting that back," I said and he smiled

"I figured," his bright blue eyes were sparkling as if it was his birthday and not mine.

"Thank you Will, you are the- you are- I don't even know how to describe you, your perfect," I hugged him.
We sat there enjoying each others warmth for longer than I thought, and soon Hazel was knocking on the door yelling that we had 10 minutes, and that Frank was driving her to school.
We scrambled out of bed and got dressed as quickly as possible (will takes 2 minutes while I take 15)
