Dorm room AU

Will's POV
I nod my head along to the music that I am blasting into my head via ear buds. I had just finished writing the paper for my final and was now rereading it for the millionth time to check for mistakes. I had to make sure this was perfect. It was the winter finals, we only had a week before they kicked us out of the dorm rooms and back to whence we came.
   I never liked the holidays really. Don't get me wrong, Christmas and Easter are fun, lots of candy, and I love Christmas movies. But I hated being with my family for that long. My dad had never been there, and he left my mom, sister, brother, and I alone. Then my mom and my sister, Kayla, would get into a fight about school, Austin, my brother, would try to cool them down then mom just ended up getting too drunk to remember any of it.
  So yeah, I try to spend as much time in the present. Then I can lock myself in my room during the fighting and just turn up my music so loud it'll block out any shouting. For now I was just blocking out my annoying room mate. He was the worst, he left his laundry everywhere, he never took a shower, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't use deodorant. Yet somehow he has a girlfriend. She's even more annoying, they have disgusting pet names and make out very loudly. I swear it's like they don't even know I'm there.
   I close my laptop and lean back into my bed. The soft plushness of the mattress is refreshing. I had been sitting up in the same position for so long that my butt started aching. I run my left hand through my hair and turn up my music. Pandora is on Panic! at the disco radio and Octavian and his stupid girlfriend aren't here. I feel myself slowly sink into the bed. The slight scent of lavender spray wafts from the sheets. My eyelids get heavy and my mind goes blank. I can faintly hear the music as I drift off.
    "Get up dyke" Octavian wakes me up with the rudest comments. I take out one ear bud, "That's actually really offensive, please don't say that." I told him but he brought his girlfriend home and they were too busy making out. I roll my eyes and clear my throat. Octavian breaks their kiss to glare at me.
   "My girl is sleeping over tonight so get out," he commanded. I scoffed, "with pleasure," I pack up a pillow and walk out my dorm room. Grabbing the key on the way out. The door slams behind me after closing with a horrible creak. I stand in the hallway by myself. Having no idea what I was thinking. I don't have any where to go. I only had a couple of friends and they were in different buildings.
   So I lean against the wall and slide down. I might be sleeping in the hallway. At least I have my music, I hit my head repeatedly against the wall behind me. The dry wall behind me would probably break if I kept it up. The dorm room next to mine's door swung open.
A small pale gothic boy popped his head out of the room. His face initially looked pissed, but calmed down when he saw me. I'm pretty sure I recognized him somehow, though if asked where I would have no clue. I must have looked pretty lame sitting here cause I saw his lips moving, I'm assuming he was talking but I couldn't hear.
    I stood up and towered him by four inches. I took out one ear bud, "huh? Sorry I didn't catch that." I bent down to pick up my pillow as he repeated himself.
    "I asked, 'what the hell are you making all the noise for?' I didn't realize it was you, sorry Will." The boy looked up at me and backed up so he wouldn't crane his neck so much. Then it hit me! This was Nico, he was my chem. partner in high school senior year. I heard he went here, but I didn't know he was this close.
    "I'm sorry Nico, I didn't realize your dorm was next to mine," I wrapped my head phones around my phone and shoved it into my pocket.
   "Yeah, sometimes I see you in the showers, like not in in the showers or anything like that, that would be super creepy and stuff...." he stumbles with his words like he's ashamed. I don't know why he'd be ashamed... ohhhh wait he looks at me in the showers?
    "So why are you out here?" Nico interrupts my thoughts once again before I can piece everything together. I kiss my teeth and tell him "My stupid homophobic room mate kicked me out cause he wants to have sex with his girlfriend." I don't know why I told him he was homophobic, I basically just outed myself. Oh well, he doesn't seem too judgmental.
    "Oh, well my room mate went to his girlfriends place, which he does every night. Do you want to stay here?" He looks at me and I look at him a bit closer. His eyes are a very dark brown, and he has a bit of eyeliner on, so they pop out. All the black he wears contrasts greatly with his pale, olive-y skin.
   "Yeah thanks man," I awkwardly say while patting his shoulder and he slightly pushes me into his dorm. I turn back to him to see why he pushed me. I laugh as I fall onto one of the beds. He laughs and goes to the other one. "You were taking to long," he says while shrugging. He flops into the soft comforter he has on his bed. The smell of incense envelopes the room, I turn towards Nico to see it's right by his bed.
   "Are you sure it's alright if I stay?" I ask as I put my pillow at the head of the messily made bed. Nico gets up from his bed, the springs squeaking along. He quickly starts picking up any clothes on the floor, even though there is close to nothing on the floor.
"Yeah of course. I'm sorry it's such a mess," he puts all the few scraps of clothing he found and puts into a laundry bin. He then moves across the room and starts cleaning up his room mates stuff, which is also fairly clean.
"Dude, this is probably one of the cleanest dorms I've been in, don't sweat it." I tell him as he hangs some button up shirts, then closing the closet doors.
"I didn't know I'd have people over, otherwise I would have cleaned it up a lot more." Nico shoves me off the bed and starts making it. He quickly and cleanly makes the bed to look like it's in a hotel. The only noise in the room is the smaller boy's feet shuffling along the carpet. I awkwardly sit on the floor trying to keep out of his way.
    I look at his face, he has his eyebrows knit down and I see a bit of sweat beading on the side of his face. Nico goes towards the two desks by the door and starts cleaning up the various things. There wasn't much to clear though, it was already clean of any stains and the writing utensils were neatly put in a mason jar. But he kept shuffling around papers and putting things in drawers.
"I've been out of it lately so I just throw my stuff around. My room mate, Charles, is a mechanic so he leaves some spare parts around. Also his sweaty, grease stained cloths," he said as he picked up many rusted and greasy parts and cloths. He then proceeds to put all of the parts in a drawer which is seemingly filled with more parts. The pieces I could make out from my seat on the ground was only some gears, springs, and maybe a watch?
"Nico I really don't mind. My room mate doesn't even do laundry, or brush his teeth for that matter." Nico visibly cringes but continues putting everything away and then he starts vacuuming the floor. He must be really anxious, I stand up and put my pillow on Charles' bed. The buzzing noise of the vacuum hums through the room and I feel it vibrating in the floor. I walk to Nico and turn it off. It buzzes to a finish and I lean it up against the wall.
  "Dude I was almost done come on, just let me finish this." Nico pouts at me. He goes to get to the vacuum but I block him. He then tries to go around me and we end up doing an awkward back and forth dance. He sighs angrily and I grab his hands and put the two pair of our hands in front us. I pull them close to my chest. His entire body tenses up from my touch. I under stood how anxiety was so I tried my best to be kind and calm with him. 
    "Look Nico, it's all okay," I look into his eyes and his face is flushed a little. I continue to cool him down. "Okay? Just breathe, I'm not judging you." His face looks conflicted, like he's deciding. He bites the corner of his bottom lip and I feel his muscles relax.
    "There, lets go sit down okay?" I ask as I slightly pull him towards his nicely made bed. We across from each other on the bed and I let go of his hands. He sits near the head so if he has a panic attack I'll be there for him. I don't know what happened but when I was holding his hands... I felt a little tug. Like my body was saying, 'this is where you are meant to be.' I wasn't one to argue with my body so I guess I have to stay here. What a shame.
     "I'm sorry Will sometimes I just, I get an uncontrollable need for everything to be clean. It's one of the only things I can control, you know?" Nico mumbles out slightly embarrassed. I feel a tug at my lips, and I let out a small laugh. Although I didn't think that was funny, apparently Nico didn't either as he looks at me confused.
   "I understand completely, how have your classes been?" I try to change the subject so he'll cool down a bit. He looks to the corner of the room, and I can feel the awkwardness of the question. I curse myself for being so weird.
    "Classes are fine...." he says almost suspiciously. We sit there for a while. I put my hands on my knees and drum my fingers to a beat. I look awkwardly at the ceiling waiting for someone to break the silence.
    "I um, I sometimes hear you singing through the walls. You like Panic! at the disco too?" He questions, my face goes red. I forgot that when Octavian isn't there I sing pretty loudly. "Yeah, sorry about that, and yeah, I love them." I hope he didn't mind my singing....
     "No I actually liked it," he answers my question exactly, can he read minds? Oh god, he'll know everything I've been thinking about. I didn't mean you Nico is really cute, I mean another one. Will you idiot no one can read minds.
"W-what?" I was actually super nervous about this. And self conscious, what if he was messing with me and I actually sounded like a dying bird. "I think you're a pretty good singer, a-and you uh, you have good taste in music. I also heard you sing Fall Out Boy," he sounded anxious around me. I don't know why he would be though. I was the one who was totally embarrassed.
   "I guess we have similar music tastes," dammit Will, pointing out the obvious. He chuckled, "Yeah I guess so." We looked into each others eyes for a bit before I remembered something. 
  "Hey! I have some of their music on my phone, and I was listening to it in the hall way. Do you want to listen? I could take out my head phones." I offered to him. His face lit up a bit. "Yeah sure." I stuffed my hand into my pocket and pulled out my phone. After unwrapping my ear buds I looked for my favorite song by Panic!
    The beginning to 'Build God then we'll talk' began and Nico just got the cutest look on his face. Almost like he had regained some lost childlike wonder. He starts bobbing his head to the beat and he has a huge smile on his face.
   "Maybe a dash of formaldehyde and the habit of decomposing right before your very la-la-la-la eyes" Nico sings along to the song. "I love that line right there," he says joyfully. I smile and feel a little more of that tug, this time a couple hundred butterflies accompanied it.
   "What is this song even about?" I ask, fully knowing that no one actually knew. He shrugged and kept singing along.
    After an hour of listening to music and me totally checking Nico out, I decided that I definitely had feelings for him. Like, I already knew I thought he was cute. In high school I remember having a tiny crush on him. Well it was bigger now.
   "Hey will," Nico snaps me out of my daze and I notice that I've been staring at him much longer than is socially acceptable. I purposefully look anywhere but his face. "Uh yeah, what's up?" I ask.
  "You don't mind that I have really bad OCD right?" He asked quietly like saying it was a sin. "No of course not, it's not like you can control it." He lets out a breath and closes his eyes. When he opens his eyes again he has a half smile on his face.
    "I need help I know, but it means a lot that you don't just tell me to calm down or 'not let it get to me' or whatever shit my family tells me." He looks towards the ground. "I'm really sorry, and no, I would never say something like that." I tell him as I get under the covers. We lie next to each other talking until twelve. Then we accidentally drift off to sleep in the same bed.
     I am woken up for the second time today by a gentle push on my shoulder. I don't feel like moving though. All of my limbs and heavy and warm. My eyelids feel like metal weights. But I manage to sit up.
   "Yeah?"I ask an already awake Nico. "We accidentally fell asleep while we were talking. I was just wondering If you wanted to move to the other bed. Or or I can, I mean you're the g-guest." Nico's teeth chattered together with an annoying noise. "Are you cold?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
   "Yeah I made the stupid mistake of not getting under the covers." He said and he rubbed his arms with his hands. "Well then get under the covers and
I'll warm you up." I was so tired I could hardly under stand anything going on. So when I asked him to get under the covers with me I didn't fully understand how weird that sounded.
    He climbed in anyways and his cold skin slipped past me and I shivered. Once he was fully under the covers I drew him closer to my chest. His head fit perfectly under mine. Originally his body was stiff and board like. But after he wrapped his hands around my chest so we were basically hugging, he relaxed out of it. I put my arms around him as well and heat flowed through us easily.
     If I was fully able to comprehend anything that was going on right now I would have ginormous carnivorous butterflies in my stomach. But I felt like I was drunk. Sort of like I was floating. It might have been my imagination, or a dream, but I could have sworn while I was drifting off to sleep again I heard a quiet 'thank you' and felt a little kiss on my chest. A quick peck, where the lips barely brush the skin. If this was a dream it felt pretty vivid, because I felt a little tingly from the 'kiss.' But for now I needed sleep.
----------------------------------------------
     ---------------------------------------
   Nico woke happy and content. He couldn't wrap his mind around why he was so damn happy. He had to go home soon, which is always bad. He finished all his finals, was that it? That was probably it. The one thing he didn't understand about this minute is why was he hugging his pillow? And what did he do to it to make it so warm.
Before he could answer any of these things, his 'pillow' moved. Nico's eyes shot open and he realized that there was a body in his arms. The body also had its arms around him. He couldn't see their face, for it had just turned the other way. He drowsily unwrapped his arms and rubbed his eyes. He tried to remember what happened last night.
    "Oh right, Will" I said so quietly I could barely hear it. I sat up to look at the boy. His golden hair and freckled face was a beautiful sight. His hair was messy and curled to a cute angle.
   The morning light shone through the window blinds and made the room have a yellow look. It looked like a flashback scene from a movie. All we needed was some harp music and some cheesy water effect over the screen.
    "Hey Nico," a sleepy Will said through a yawn. I smiled at the adorable sight. "Hi," I waved at him as he sat under the covers. I felt skeletal butterflies rampage through my body. He had been the only person I had liked since I got to high school, and I had liked him since I met him. I had seen him around the halls of this place but he usually has his headphones in. I try my best to keep out of his eyeshot.
     I scooted closer to him, still under the covers. I pushed his feet a little to wake him up more. He seemed so out of it late last night I wonder if he remembers anything. Does he remember that I kissed him? Hopefully not. That was a mistake, I thought maybe he liked me, but really he just needed sleep.
"I'm awake, I'm awake," he said as I pushed him a little more with my foot. I stifled a laugh as he groggily lied back down on his face. "Sure looks like it too" I retorted while laughing.
He turns his face to mine and fake pouts and kicks me. I catch his legs with mine and we lie next to each other with our legs intertwined with each other's. We both have a smile on our faces for a while, then as our kicking slows our smiles fade.
His feet were rough and dry, and his jeans rubbed against my bare feet. Something in the denim reminded me of home. It was too quiet now, I didn't want things to be awkward so i kicked him one last time and said "I won." He rolled his eyes, he looked at the ceiling like he was thinking. Before I knew what was going on, he flipped his body onto mine.
"No, I think I won," he said with a cocky smile. His weight crushed me, it got a little hard to breathe but I didn't really want him to move. I tried to count the hundreds of freckles that littered his face.
"I need to get dressed," I finally said after failing three times to count them. I got to twenty each time then got distracted by the blueness of his eyes. Will rolled off of me and back onto the bed. I got up and went to my closet. I checked the weather yesterday and it said it would be pretty cold. Typical of New York.
I picked out a plain grey shirt, and a black MCR jacket. I pulled off my current shirt and threw it in my laundry bin. When I was turned towards it I saw Will looking at me.
"What?" I asked, trying to cover up my chest.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to stare, but you don't have to cover up. You have a really nice chest." He said standing up and walking towards me. I blushed and folded my arms across my bare chest.
"You're so little, how'd you get abs?" He asked incredulously. I rubbed the back of my neck. I was really self conscious about my body so this was awkward.
"I'm in martial arts," was all I said as I turned around to put my new shirt on.
"Impressive," Will said from behind me. I could hear him walking closer behind me but I didn't know what he was doing.
All of a sudden I feel his hands on both sides of me and a tickle runs up through my body. I turn around fast as he laughs his butt off. I must have jumped pretty high into the air if it's that funny.
"You dick!" I punch him in the arm.
"Oww, you got to admit that was kind of funny." He says to me.
"No that was not funny!"
"It was pretty funny," he said, I walked towards him and started tickling the sides of his stomach. He went into a fit of laughter and then he started pushing me and tickling my stomach.
      I fell over on top of him and I punched him in the arm again. "See what you did?" I asked him angrily, while still laughing from the tingling in my body. He puts his hands in a surrender position and I stand up to put my jacket on.
    "Hey Nico," he says to me while he flops back on the bed with a creak. "What?" I ask, pretending to be annoyed. He sits up and waves for me to come closer to him. I walk up to him as he sits on the edge of my bed. Our knees touch and a flutter goes through my body.
   "Do you," he clears his throat. "Do you um, want to go out with me?" There's a strange tension in the air as I look in his face for any sign that he's messing with me.
I lean down and straddle his legs before softly kissing him. The kiss is so light that our lips barely touch.
    "Yes," I murmur against his lips. I close my eyes and put my forehead on his. I feel him smile against me and the world just stops.

Okay I'm sorry that was so long, I was going to separate it into two chapters but I didn't know if I would have time to wrap it up. I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written on here. Not including this A/N it is a total of 3858 words. If you guys have any ideas for new chapters you can send them to me through comments or direct messaging. Also I'm going to be gone all of next week at this camp that won't allow any electronics. So if I have time I'll publish another one before than. But for now this is the last one before I leave. Thanks for reading and sticking through the long chapter it means a lot. Have a good day!!
