Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 6

Will shifted in his sleep and flipped over so he could pull Nico's warmth back against him. He frowned when he found his bed cold and Nico-less. Groaning he lifted his up head and blinked his eyes open. The room was dark save for a dim light in the corner.

"Tell him I can't. I promised Will I would stay with him," Nico whispered to the dim light.

Will rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Nico?" He yawned sleepily.

Nico turned and sighed, "Will, go back to sleep. I'll be there in a minute."

"Nico? What's wrong?" Will asked.

Nico waved through the Iris Message causing the dim light to dissolve. "Nothing, my dad has a mission for me but I told the messenger to put it off until after the wedding." he said as he crawled back into the bed. Will grunted and pulled Nico into his arms.

"Get off me! It's too early for you to be this cuddly," Nico groaned, though he didn't put up much of a struggle though.

Will just chuckled and pressed his lips against Nico's cheek. Nico blushed and pulled away.

"You're cute," Will stated.

"Idiot," Nico huffed.

"I resent that. For your information I am a highly skilled and qualified doctor," Will said. "And doctors are not idiots."

"Mmh?" Nico raised an eyebrow.

"It's true!"

Nico's eyebrow raised further.

"You know what! I don't have to explain myself to you!"

Nico chuckled and pressed his lips against Will's.

"I'm going to take you out on another date today." Will decided.

"What about your mom? Anita and Alana are busy so they can't cover for us." Nico told him.

"Mom will be busy with the wedding," Will said.

"Yeah, okay." Nico agreed easily. "A date alone with you sounds nice."

"Yay! Where do you want to go? Maybe back to that cafe? We could share a milkshake this time."

"Haha. Think again Solace," Nico mumbled as Will pressed his lips against his forehead. "I don't want to be drunk again."

"Fine, I'll think of something."

"Well don't think too hard. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." Nico teased, nuzzling into Will's chest.

Will raised an eyebrow at that, "Well if you're going to be that way maybe I'll just go on my amazing date myself." he sulked playfully.

"Amazing date?"

"Are you jealous?"

Nico opened his mouth to respond but a knock interrupted them.

"Will?" a soft voice said.

Nico's eyes widened. He quickly dove under the blankets as the door opened.

"Hi... Jed." Will said awkwardly.

Jed walked into the room and frowned, "What are you doing up so early?"

"I just got a call. I'm about to go back to sleep now anyways."

"Oh well I heard voices."

"Uh, yeah. I talk to myself a lot."

Jed nodded as if he understood, "And that girl in your bed?"

Will turned red, "W-what?"

"It's okay. Laney's mom called. She said Laney snuck out earlier. Just tell her that her mother said she could stay the night as long as she's back before her father wakes up."
