His job didn't cut it and if he worked extra hours his grades would show it. Will Solace, on the other hand, was an extrovert at heart with anxiety and tea running his life. He was in his fourth year of med school and was sick of living at home. He refused to live in the dorms again and couldn't afford a place on his own.

Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace are academic rivals. Or so they think. Nico hates Will because of how perfect he is, and Will "hates" Nico because he does not want him to know the truth about his feelings. But, all that is put to the test when the two are paired up for a partner project. Can they survive 3 days working together? Will their tumultuous relationship stay the same?

After that I only wore black. Black like the charred remains of everything I had once loved, black like the smoke billowing into the sky as my tears cut tracks through the black soot coating my face, and black like the little puppy that was squirming in my arms afterward, the only piece of my old life I had left. ~¤~ Four years ago, Nico's life was perfect. He had two loving parents, a caring older sister, and a beautiful house in Italy. Then a fire started in their house and everything Nico loved crumbled along with the walls and family photos. Now, Nico and his dad live in America with Nico's step mom and sister, but Hades is almost never home and Nico has hardly smiled since the fire. Maybe the boy who just moved in across the street can help him bring a stop to the relentless bullying Nico has been dealing with for two years, and maybe he can teach him to smile again in the process. - the playlist for this is linked in my bio -
