Solangelo/Willco One-Shots {Will Solace x Nico Di Angelo} ✔

Wish You Were Sober

This is draft #1, which oddly, nobody picked. But it's the only draft that was... constructed, if you will.

For reference, I have never been drunk nor had a conversation with someone who was drunk

...

This party's shit

Will watched the crowd dancing in front him, trying hard to not lose sight of Nico. The boy swore this party would be fun, but watching over Nico, who was drunk out of his mind, wasn't exactly Will's idea of 'fun'. He huffed. Deep down, he knew this was his fault. He just couldn't say no to Nico and his stupid pretty face. Parties with his roommate were always like this. Nico drinks half his weight and Will has to drag him home. Or, worse case scenario, another man does Will's job for him.

Will finally caught sight of Nico in the middle of the room, dancing against some guy neither of us have every met before. Will glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 1 am. Nico promised they'd leave at 11. Will sighed as he brushed people to reach the two.

"Nico, let's go."

The guy he was with scowled at Will. "Back off man, he's with me tonight."

Will glowered right back at him. "He won't be with anyone tonight considering he's too drunk to even walk, let alone give any form of consent, thank you very much." 

The guy scoffed and walked off. Nico smiled up at Will and slumped against him.

"Hiii Willy."

The blonde in question rolled his eyes. Nico only called him that when he was drunk. Nico only said a lot of things when he was drunk. Will grabbed the boy's hand and weaved past the crowd back to his car. He felt a pair of arms wrap around him.

"Nico, I can't unlock the car if you're holding my arms down."

"You're sooo pretty~" Nico slurred.

Will just nodded as he buckled Nico's seat beat. He learned a long time ago that it's easier to just play along with Nico's drunken blabbering. "Thanks, Nico."

"I like you so mucch Willy."

Will sighed. That one hurt the most. His feelings for Nico were anything but platonic, but Will knew he had no chance with him. Nico wasn't the kind of guy you have a committed relationship with. He cycled through guys like they were nothing. The last thing Will wanted was to be another guy Nico doesn't want to see again. 

"I like you too, Nico. Now if you could please sit still so I can take us home-"

"Noo Willy lissten-" Nico reached forward and cupped Will's face long enough for him to start blushing. "I'm like... I'm soo in love with youu."

Will knew that Nico had too much to drink that night. He knew that this probably meant nothing. He knew that, come morning, Nico won't remember a thing.

But he still was defenseless when Nico forced their lips together in the seat of his rover.

Nico tasted like alcohol - obviously - and Will couldn't help but wonder if this would be the only chance he got to do this. Nico pulled away with a lopsided smile on his face, yet Will felt like crying. He silently go into the drivers seat and sighed.

"Real sweet, but I wish you were sober."

...

Will found himself crying as he fell asleep that night.

It was so stupid. Obviously the only way Nico would ever like him was when he was too drunk to function. He'd be a fool to get his hopes up like this. But, they do say drunken words are sober thoughts, right? Maybe, deep down, Nico did mean what he told Will that night. Maybe that kiss really did mean something.

Will was ripped from his thoughts by the sound of someone stumbling into the kitchen.

"Good morning."

Nico was looked up at him, rubbing his forehead. He was still wearing his clothes from last night, minus the shoes, and his hair was a mess. Will had also forgotten to wipe his eyeliner off before taking him to bed, so Nico had smudged black patches around his eyes. Will still thought he looked adorable, then kicked himself for thinking that.

Will forced a smile anyway. "It's 4 in the afternoon. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah. My head is killing me though."

"I figured. I got you an ibuprofen and some water. It's important to stay hydrated."

Nico smiled and accepted both. Will took a breath "So, about last night..."

Nico yawned. "Yeah, what happened? I don't really remember much. Just a lot of dancing and drinking. Like, way too much drinking."

"Oh." Will said, unable to hide the disappointment from his voice. Nico looked at him confused.

"Did I... do something yesterday?"

"No! It's nothing." Will answered quickly. "I'm gonna head back to my room. I have some work to finish."

Nico watched as Will sulked back into his room, trying his hardest to remember anything from the night before. After all, the last thing he wants is for Will to be upset with him. 

He sighed and took the second pill. This sounds like a problem for tomorrow. Nico was going back to bed.

I wish you were sober

...

I think I originally wrote this when I wasn't all that motivated which is why it isn't as good as it could've been but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it would've just lived in my drafts forever otherwise. Maybe I'll make another version where I stay more on brand with the song.

Draft  #13 is next 😈
