I screamed, they watched (solangelo)

Part five

Nico's POV
School just ended, and I'm standing outside waiting for the others. The bus will be here in around 20 minutes. I see Will walking against me, he comes from the library, he was probably getting his books. He looks so casual, so at peace with everything, so in control over his own body. Meanwhile here am I, the boy who can't even hold his head still if he's nervous.

Will's POV
I can see Nico waiting for me, we're going to work on the group project with the girls I can't remember the names of. I still feel like shit, but the world finally seems a little bit brighter, during lunch I got a message from my mom. It said that I finally had an appointment with a doctor that could help me and eventually give me meds.

It's a crazy weird feeling. Like now my head is kinda ok? But my body is still so heavy and my thoughts are a bit dulled. I'll try to distract myself with the group work, distractions and multitasking usually helps a bit. Also, Nico and the girls seem like pretty funny people so hopefully they'll be able to put an actual smile on my face.

Nico waves hello to me, and I wave back. He is actually very... Uhm how do I even explain it. Ok I'm just gonna say it, he's hot like hell. (Hehe did you see what I did there) I walk up to him and say hello. Was that just me or did his face just turn a few shades redder?

I try to hide a smile, but I can't have succseeded very well, 'cause soon after Nico notices and asks; "why are you smiling?" He doesn't say it accusing in any way, he actually says it with a smile, more like he's curious.
"Oh it's nothing, I just, uh, I just remembered something that happened a while ago." I send him a crooked smile. I hope that looked smug, and not just like I was contastipated or something.

I chat with Nico for a while. Not really about anything in particular, just the normal, like what did you do at school and the like. After about 15 minutes of that, Reyna and Thalia arrives as well. They don't notice us right away, theire waayyy to busy flirting with each other. They don't react at all when Nico lets out a yelp, but they probs wouldn't even though they actually were paying attention. It doesn't seem like anyone really notices anymore, at least not at school.

I poke Reyna in the shoulder, that gets both of their attention fairly quickly. "Oh, Hi!" They both say in unison. I give Nico a look and we both start laughing. They just glare at us as if we've lost our marbles, and that makes us both laugh even harder. Nico's head jerks backwards, it looks painful, but he doesn't really seem to notice.

Nico, how do I even describe him. As I said, he's hot as hell. His dark hair barely hangs into his eyes, and his eyes, most people would call them black, but I doubt it, I'd rather believe they are a dark brown. His skin has a hazel shine to it, but a sort of pale gray undertone, if that makes sense? Anyways, he wears black clothes for the most part, except for a jacket he wears. It's made out of brown leather with a dirty white fluff in the neck. By the looks of it I would guess that it's a hand me down, maybe from one of his parents. When you first meet him he kinda looks like the type of guy that would be extremely introverted and shy, maybe even depressed or something, but when you get to know him, or just talk to him at all, you'll notice that those things are completely wrong. Nico is a very happy and outgoing person, he's just not at all like you would think he would be. Oh, I almost forgot, his right ear is pierced, only the right one, and he usually wears a black ring or a skull in it. He looks like the type to get a lot of piercings and tattoos, but you know, age limits.

I can see the buss driving towards us and tap Nicos shoulder. He wasn't paying attention. The bus stops and all four of us get on.

Nico's POV
I don't really know why, but for some reason it seems like I get a lot more tics when Will is around. Does he frighten me? No I don't think that's it... I watch him carefully from the side of my eye, trying to be subtle, but then I yelp and that plan was over. I can see his eyes turn against me, it's only a tenth of a second, but I notice, I always do, but he's just not used to it yet. I look down.

The bus seats are quite close to eachother, and Will is sitting quite far in on his, his hand lying loosely in his lap. I move a tad closer to him. Not a lot, just a tiny bit so that our thighs are barely touching. He doesn't seem to notice. I blink my eyes five times in a row, and cough.

I still don't understand why my tics are getting so bad around Will. It's not like I'm afraid of him. How could I? He's like the least frightening person in the world. With is golden hair, his cute af freckles and oh my god his eyes... *Cough* uhmm, just ignore that.

Reyna and Thalia are sitting behind us, they actually shut up for once. I turn around to see whats going on, and see them holding hands. I bump Will with my shoulder, "look behind you," I whisper. He turns around and smiles. "I knew it," he says with a big grin on his face.

Seeing Will smile also makes me smile, he looks so happy and genuine. I take a moment to really study his face. His lips are light pink, and looks quite soft. Like he uses lip balm every day. His cheeks has this pink little tint in them, and even though his skin is quite fair he has a tan. Not the kind of than you get from genes, but the kind you get from spending a lot of time outside. I wonder what he does outside so much.

IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE OMG I KINDA JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT ALL. I'll try to update more frequently, but I can't promise anything with my exams coming up etc.
