AN// This fic does not condone murder

Nico POV
I can't believe it. This is perfect. I think back to a few months ago, the first time I had heard of this new dating app. It took your search history and matched you up with someone near you with similar searches. I meet up with Will Solace, a guy who had similar searches to me. I figure that he's a writer like I am.

"So, Nico," Will smiles, "If you were to kill someone, metaphorically, how would you do it?"
"I'd inject air in between their toes. Cause a mock heart attack." I say. Aw, he is a writer.
Will nods and writes something in the notebook he has with him.
"So, what do you write?" I ask. Will looks around nervously.
"Ya know. Books. Articles. Plays, sometimes."
"Oh, that's neat. What plays?"
"The Bee Movie."
"What?"
"Um, yeah. I have a pen name."

Something in my head clicks.
"Will, how long does it take for a body to bleed out?" I ask, testing my theory.
"Anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, usually."
"And how do you know that?"
"Um, the internet."
"Will, are you a murderer?"

Will stuffs his mouth with salad and points to himself like, 'I'd answer but I can't because my mouth's too full. I wouldn't want to be rude.'

"It's not murder if you're killing people who deserve to die!" Will says, cheerfully sipping his fizzy water.
"I'm pretty sure it's still murder if they deserve to die." I put 'deserve' in air quotes.
"No it's not! Okay," Will admits, "You're right. But I'm not in the wrong here! I only kill creeps!"
"How....... What makes a person a creep to you? Because you're seeming pretty creepy."
"Like, if a person assaults someone and is super rich so they get away with it, I kill them. Vigilante justice."

Okay. I gotta admit, that's kind of hot. It wouldn't be hot if he was murdering innocent people, but, like, serial killers and rapists and kidnappers and such.

"Have you ever killed an innocent person?"
"Well," Will says, "Once I asked a vet to put my cat down. It was the saddest day of my life. I still cry about it sometimes. She was so tiny and sweet. She deserved so much more."
Tears started falling from Will's eyes. "I miss her so much."

He seems sweet, minus the whole vigilante justice thing. He's cute. He likes cats. I'd never run out of ideas for my books.
"Will, do you want to go see a movie after this?"
