Out of the Attic

I just want to say thank you so so much for 100k reads! When I started this book just over a year ago I never expected to get over 1k, let alone 100k. Each and every one of you helped this book so much just by reading it an I can't thank you enough<3. I think this will be the last installment of the disney princess series but if there's anything else special you want me to do, let me know. With that said, enjoy the cinderella AU!

Will's POV

The only thing I could hear was the pounding of feet on the wooden floorboards of the house I shared with five of my friends and the drumming of a dance song in my ears, shaking my ear drums and putting a strange vibrating feeling in my chest. I stood in the thick of the party, the rhythms of the dancing making me slowly sway back and forth, clutching a quarter way filled red solo cup, the generic drink cup of every college party in the world. The room was hot and sticky, a hundred fifty bodies moving at once. I fought my way through the crowd, attempting to maneuver myself out of the massive throng of people and to the sides of the room where about twenty five people mingled about, watching the rest of the party move to the beat of the music. Amid pats on the back and comments like "Nice party, Will!" and "Yo, Will, rockin' party, bro!" I slid out of the masses to the snack table where I could spot one of my roommates, Percy, lingering with his girlfriend, Annabeth, his hand seemingly stuck in the chips bowl.

"You look lonely," he stated when I walked up to him, his mouth full of partially chewed chips. "We should find you a boyfriend!"

"Finish chewing before talking," Annabeth reprimanded, folding her arms over her chest and rolling her eyes. "I swear, sometimes it's like I'm talking to a two year old."

"Shut up," Percy complained, swallowing the chips. "Seriously, though, let's get you a guy! There's a guy in my marine biology class who I think you might like. He's right over there." He gestured to a boy leaning against the wall closest to the door, holding a bottle of water and glancing nervously at his watch every five seconds. He was pale, a stark contrast to his jet black hair and black clothes. When he glanced up I caught a glimpse of deep brown eyes, which seemed to absorb the sight of the party in a single look. There was no denying that he was ridiculously attractive.

"I think you two would be a good match," Annabeth mused. "I don't know much about Nico, but judging by his appearance I'd say you would compliment each other. You're light and he's dark. After all, opposites do attract."

"Go!" Percy urged, giving me a light push on the back. "You'll never know if you don't try." I stumbled towards Nico, his eyes flying up when he saw me approaching.

"I'm Will," I said, sticking out my hand. "I'm gay."

"That's good, so am I," Nico chuckled, shaking  my hand. "Are you always this formal when you're meeting new people?"

"Only with the cute ones." Nico blushed a deep red, the color lighting up his face like a light bulb. It looked good on him, although I couldn't imagine anything that wouldn't look good on him. "Do you like dancing?" I nodded toward the moving mob of people, screaming the lyrics to a pop song that was being played by the dj.

"Not usually," Nico admitted.

"Come on," I said. "We can do it together." I stuck out my arm for Nico to take. "I'm only this formal for the cutest people." Nico took my arm.

"I guess I can give it a try, if it's with you."

Our bodies melded together on the dance floor, two people seamlessly becoming one. I fit with him like a puzzle piece. Dancing had never been my ideal activity but with Nico I felt like dancing forever.

Nico's POV

With Will, I almost forgot my responsibilities. I almost forgot that I had the worst roommate in history, and I almost forgot that I had to be home in one hour, 23 minutes, 41 seconds and counting. I forgot my life. As soon as I stepped onto the dance floor my problems melted away and the only two things in my mind were Will and the beat of the music. It was impossible to say how much time we spent out on the dance floor; the only thing I knew was that the people around us kept changing, coming and going, but Will and I stayed exactly the same. The only thing I knew was that just after the first beat of the slow song, just after Will offered me his hand, my watch went off.
