Epilogue

(Note: Just a reminder that the previous chapter 13 is gone! It never happened! [and if you're completely new here what I just said probably makes no sense but that's okay just ignore it])

Four months.

Four months since I fell for the boy that kissed me in front of the school and then proceeded to steal my heart.

Will Solace had turned from the worst thing in my to life, to the greatest. He was caring and loving, but also incredibly cheesy. On Valentines he bought me a giant teddy bear and I think I nearly died out of embarrassment. He was sweet and I think I might love him.

Though I didn't plan on telling him that yet. I wanted to wait until it felt right. Until I knew for sure.

Ever since we kissed, Will and I had basically become the cliche couple that were constantly glued together. Sure, we got a few funny looks at first when we would walk down the halls, hand in hand, but eventually they got over it and so did I.

Will didn't "cure" my depression. Things don't work like that. Instead, he helped me. When I got anxious, his voice would calm me down. When I felt terrible, he would lightly kiss the places I felt insecure about. Over the next few years, I believed that the marks on my arms would turn into faded scars.

People even started to stop picking on me. There was one day, a few weeks back. Jason had come up to me and muttered a few disgusting words, meant to insult me. Will overheard and punched him right in the nose.

He got suspended but he claimed it was worth it. Jason hasn't talked to me since.

Everything was slowly changing for the better. Will had transformed my life.

"Nico~" Will half sung, wrapping his arms around me. We were sitting at a booth in McDonalds, at nearly two in the morning. The two of us had been watching a series on TV at his place, but had gotten bored and decided to get some food.

The restaurant was empty except for the worker who stood behind the cash register, looking like they were about to fall asleep. So, Will and I shared one side of the booth, cuddling up next to each other as we munched on our food.

"What?" I grumbled, shoving some fries in his mouth. He giggled, as I struggled to get away from his grasp.

"You're cute." He grinned as he ate.

"Shut up."

I reached into the box of the Happy Meal to see what toy was inside. It was a plastic Pikachu. There was a gasp from Will.

"Dibs. That's mine. I claim it." He quickly grabbed it out of my hand.

"Uh no," I smirked, taking it back. "I got to it first, therefore it's mine."

"But I paid for the meal! It's mine."

"Will you literally used the money that you found buried at the bottom of my backpack. Technically I paid."

Will pouted, starting at me with his eyes wide and puppy-like.

"Please Nico. Pleaseeeeeeeeee." He whined, holding onto my hands tightly as he did so. A sigh slowly left my lips.

"Fine but I want something in return," I pretended to sound reluctant, but in reality I didn't really care what happened to the small plastic kids toy. I already had one at home from a previous happy meal.

"Does this work?" Will lowered his voice, slowly slithering his arms around my waist and pulling me close. Tilting his head down towards me, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him back, moving my arms around his neck, and leaning in closer to him.

"Please keep it PG. I'm too tired for this," I heard the cashier call, sounding utterly exhausted. Will laughed as I handed him the Pikachu.

"And that's why I don't take the night shifts." Will winked, pressing his back against the wall behind him.

"So you can make out with me at absurd times of the night?" I rolled my eyes, taking a bite of chicken nugget.

"Exactly!"

"Perv." I snorted, wiping the crumbs off my face with a napkin.

We were silent for a couple of moments and as I glanced over at Will, I noticed him staring at me with a small smile on his lips. My eyes met his and we sat like that for a minute.

"Nico?" he spoke softly.

"Yeah?"

"I think I'm in love with you."

I paused before replying.

"Will?"

"Hmm?" His face was flushed red, but he looked really happy.

"I... I might just be in love with you too."

THE END

-

Note: Thank you to everyone that has ever read this story, whether you be new or here since I first started (I doubt anyone is hasn't it been like 2/3 years since I started this. ew i suck at updating). This ending may feel rushed or abrupt, but hopefully I managed to tie up all the loose ends. I went with a happy ending which is good cause I'm pretty sure in my original plans the ending was gonna be sad. But it's Valentine's day (which I spent at home, single and sick) so I figured everyone could use a little happy fluffy solangelo. I hoped you enjoyed this story. It's probably the last solangelo fic I'll ever write (cause I can't be consistent with updates so I don't wanna start something I'll never finish, even though there is story ideas in my drafts). I hope everyone's 2018 has been good. Love you guys! And thanks again!
