Solangelo One shots

Hallelujah

Well I heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

* * *

Will enjoyed music. He really did. It wasn't his passion, though. He wanted to be a doctor. He loved to help people, and he was a complete science nerd. But he enjoyed nights like this where he would get a gig at his favorite cafe. He grew up playing the guitar, and his voice was good too. He met the owner through one of his friends - Lou Ellen - who was the owner's niece. Josh, the owner, had given the job to Will back in high school, but now that he was working at the hospital, 10 years or so later, he came to fill in only when they couldn't fund anyone to sing.

As he was on the stage singing, a boy - no more than 5'7", olive skinned, dark hair, and eyes so dark, Will couldn't decide if they were black, dark brown, or dark blue from this distance - walked in. He was the most handsome guy he had ever seen. He had been so mesmerized by the dark-haired beauty, he almost forgot to keep playing. Luckily, he had just started the intro of the song. He shook his head once to get himself out the trance he had gone into. He couldn't think like that. He was dating Paolo. He began singing.

Halfway through the song, Will and the brunet from before made eye contact. In Will's head, the world froze for a few seconds, but this time he didn't lose focus of the song.

After the show, he walked over to the bar where Lou Ellen was temporarily working while she was on break. "Honestly, Lou, I don't understand why you work during your vacation." He said as he sat on one of the bar stools.

"For the same reason you work here your free nights, Solace. Extra money." She said as she wiped the counter.

"Actually, I do this because I enjoy it." This caused Lou to roll her eyes.

"And yet you majored in medicine."

Will shakes his head. "Music's not my thing. It's just a hobby."

She chuckles. "Are you gonna order something, or am I gonna have to kick you out of my bar?"

"It's your uncle's bar." Lou glared at him. "I'll take a mimosa." He said and quickly added. "Virgin."

"Such a pussy." Lou Ellen called out as she started on the drink.

"Lou, you know I don't swing that way." She simply gave him the middle finger and handed him his drink.

Will started drinking his mimosa when a voice from his left asked Lou Ellen for a shot of fireball. He turned and saw the guy from earlier sitting right next to him. The brunet looked glanced at him as Lou fixed up the fireball.

"You're the singer, right?" The guy asked. Will could only nod, not trusting his voice not to crack. "I liked your performance. 'Hallelujah' is one of my favorite songs."

"I'd be offended if it wasn't." Will answered. "That song is a classic."

"Definitely." The guy nodded. "I'm Nico, by the way." Nico stuck his hand out for Will to shake.

"I'm Will. It's nice to meet you."

They started talking about music, then bands, then tv shows and movies, and they kept talking and talking, finding out they had a lot more things in common than they would've originally thought. They were having such a good time, they didn't realize they were the only two people left until Lou Ellen basically kicked them out. It was honestly the most fun Will had had in a while.

"Hey, Nico, can I have your phone number? I had a lot of fun, and I'd love to do this again." Will asked astray were about to part ways.

"Look, Will, you're really sweet. But I don't date." Nico frowned.
