a/n this was going to be angst  but then SOMEONE released season 8 and said season shot me in the heart so I wanted to end this happily

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, quite frankly. I know you can get busy, Will, but can't you make time? We hang out even less than all the way we did when we were just friends..."

"Nico, you have a class the only fucking moment I have free time. Did you-did you not notice that? Can you, perhaps, reschedule that, seeing as how this is so important to you?" Will crossed his arms, leaning back against the wall.

"Is... Is it not... Important to you? Do you not want to hang out with me?" Nico asked him, voice quiet.

"No! That's not it, baby, I just..."

"How much time do you really have to spend with those-those friends I don't even know the names of? Working on a project I don't know about?"

"You know how important that is to me, Nico. I'll explain it all to you the moment I can." Will stated, almost pleasingly.

"Or maybe you're cheating on me."

"I'm sorry? Since when have I been the type to cheat, Nico Di Angelo? When's the last time I've ever expressed a genuine want to be with anyone except you? No, even-since when have I been capable of cheating? You know me! You know how-"

"I don't know, Will, I haven't known if I could trust you since you took 2 years to tell me, to..."

"YOU DONT TRUST ME BECAUSE I TOOK A WHILE TO COME OUT TO YOU?"

"I don't know, Will! What about me made you take so long to tell me that? And what about me took you so long to tell me what Natalie did?"

"FEAR! Fear kept me from telling you! Fear that you'd break up with me because I'm not cis, that your being gay and my not being a cis male would change something, and-and I don't know!"

"Will, why would anything change? Why the hell would it change anything?!" Nico shouted, causing Will to flinch.

"Please don't yell at me."

"You were just yelling at me!" Will flinched again.

"I know! And I'm sorry! I won't do it again just please don't yell at me!"

"Will..." Nico finally noticed how terrified Will looked, and he reached out to try and grab his hand, but Will just cowered more.

Nico took a few steps back, arms in the air to show Will he wasn't going to touch him, "I'm not going to hurt you. I'd never hurt you."

"I-I know, babe. Just... I'm sorry." Will didn't meet Nico's eyes.

"It's okay. Will? Look at me." Nico asked, almost begged. Will looked him in the eyes. "It's okay. I'm not going to raise my voice again. I'm sure as hell not going to hurt you."

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry for getting so upset, I shouldn't've started yelling. You're right. I don't try enough to spend time with you."

"Then let's work that out together. Can I hold your hands, love?"

"I... Don't really want contact right now." Will admitted.

"That's okay"

"I'll cut down on how long I'm in the Infirmary, how much time I spend on that project."

"I don't want to keep you from your friends."

"You're more important. I spend plenty of time with them and none with you. That's an issue. I'll fix it. If I felt like you were keeping me from my friends, I wouldn't be with you."

"Alright. Then that sounds good. And I'll reschedule that one class I have that's during your break." Nico reasoned.

"Awesome. We figured it out. We figured it out, and it was civil, and... We're okay." Will smiled, and he decided he definitely wanted contact and hugged his boyfriend tightly.

"Of course."

"You know something else that would help?"

"Yeah?"

"If you stopped beating everyone's asses 24/7. Seriously, stop getting in fights. It scares me and I think you're the cause of half of the people in the infirmary."

Nico chuckled, "I can't promise that, love."
