Too Afraid To Fall In Love (Solangelo Fan Fic) - ON HOLD

Chapter 1 (Under editing)

Nico's

                    "You're going to stay here for three days whether you like it or not!" said Will for the third time.

                    "Ok ok..." I said being tired of arguing with Will. Even though I didn't forget to keep the scowl on my face for the entire time, butterflies raised in my stomach. Why do I feel like this? I should be angry because of this. Why do I feel kinda happy? I growled to myself.

              "Did you say something?" asked Will

             "No," I mumbled.

            "Okay. So let's go inside," said Will. He seemed to be thrilled. I just nodded before taking his lead and going inside. The walls were painted white and white curtains parted the beds. The place was dazzling. It smelled of sandalwood and sage. But underneath all of them, I could sense death. Even though I'm a son of Hades, I couldn't bear this much of death. I didn't speak a single word until we reached my room.

                     There was a single bed in the corner, and beside it stood a small cupboard. Across the bed, there was a door that leads to gods know where. I guessed it lead to the bathroom.

             "Soo.......since you're staying here for three days, this will be your room. I know it's not very good, but this is the most comfortable room we have in the infirmary. I'm sorry though......" said Will.

             "I don't really care ya know......" I said keeping my scowl on, but it surprised me a little cause Will seemed to care about me. Don't overthink Nico. He's just taking care of his patient like he always does. He's doing the same for all others who are staying here for several days like you. The voice inside me seemed to say. Ok ok, whatever. I replied in my mind.

            "Nico...earth to Nico?!!" said Will, waving a hand in front of my face.

           "Uh-huh.....!?" I said confused. He chuckled a little.

"You were standing there for like three minutes with a scowling face. You didn't seem to hear what I said." He said.

"Oh...you were talking?? I'm sorry, but I really didn't hear you," I said back, really feeling sorry, which was unlike me. I normally don't feel sorry for anyone at all, but this time there was a difference.

"Oh.....anyway I said that I have to leave now and if you need anything just call me. Ok??" asked Will.

"Ok..." I said slightly disappointed he had to leave this soon. But I made sure not to pour it to my voice as I talked. He turned to leave but stopped by the door.

"Oh and another thing..no more underworldy stuff. Ok??" asked Will like a teacher who wanted to make sure his student was behaving well while he wasn't near.

"Okay, ma'am!!" I said, rolling my eyes. Gosh, he's sooooooo annoying. I thought to myself. He chuckled softly as he left the room. I closed the door and made sure it was locked before changing into my pyjamas. You might think about how I got them. But believe me when Will calls someone as he called to me this morning you know you're going to make infirmary your home for at least two days. Even though I wasn't planning on staying, I took some spare clothes with me, but I made sure he wouldn't notice. But here I am staying in the infirmary for three days!! So yeah...that's how I got them.

When I finally got to the bed after unlocking the door again, I was soooo tired. But I couldn't sleep. Even though there wasn't much, events of today filled my mind as soon as I closed my eyes. Especially Will's face kept coming to my mind more than any other thing. His blonde curls, his bright smile, his eyes with thousand shades of blue, those little dimples that appeared in his face when he smiled, more than everything, him...just him...I couldn't process all these things that were going inside my head. I was too tired anyway. For the first time after a while, I had a night without nightmares, which came after me like my shadows.

Will's

"You're going to stay here for three days whether you like it or not," I said for the third time. I was angry and a little sad because he refused to stay continuously twice. Gosh, he didn't seem to care about his health even a little. He was so weak I could tell it with only one glance at him. Still, he refused! So this time I said like an order, not like a request. And it worked!!!!!

"Ok ok," he said scowling at me. I knew he was angry, but I was too happy to care. Woah!! Why do I feel happy about it? This is just Nico, after all. Or is it, Will.......? Is it just Nico?? A tiny voice inside me questioned. Meanwhile, Nico said something, but I didn't hear because I was in another world for a while.

"Did you say something?" I asked just to make it clear.

"No," he mumbled.

"Ooooooook. So let's go inside." I said. I was feeling sooooo happy because he finally agreed to stay, but I didn't know why. Shake it off, Will. I said to myself. As I lead him to his room, he studied the surroundings. I think he's never been to here before. Well...if that's the case, he would have to visit this place more often in the future because he's under my watch. At last, we reached his room.

When I lead him to the room, he studied it. It wasn't very good, it just had a bed, a cupboard and a bathroom. But this is the best I could give him if he's staying here for several days. This is the only personal room we have, after all.

"Sooooo.......since you're staying here for three days, this will be your room. I know it's not very good, but this is the most comfortable room we have in the infirmary. I'm sorry though........" I said feeling sorry.

"I don't really care, ya know." He said keeping his same scowling face. Why does he always have to scowl?!? little smiling won't hurt at all, right?? I think it's a Hades thing. I started saying that I have to leave now, but he didn't seem to hear, so I waved my hand in front of his face several times.

"Nico......earth to Nico?!!" I said, still waving my hand in front of his face.

"Uh-huh.......!?" He asked a little bit confused. He was cute in that face. I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit.

"You were standing there for like three minutes with a scowling face. You didn't seem to hear what I said." I said.

"Oh...You were talking?? I'm sorry, but I really didn't hear you." He said. I was a little bit surprised because this is Nico and apologizing is definitely not his thing. But of course, I didn't show it.

"Oh......anyway, I was saying that I have to leave now and if you need anything just call me. Ok?" I asked. Not that I wanted to get out, but some serious patients needed my attention, at least for a little time.

"Ok..." he said back. His voice carried a bit of disappointment but I totally imagined it......right?? Why would he be disappointed about my leaving after all??? Just shake it off, Will...I said to myself. I turned to leave, but suddenly I remembered another thing.

"Oh, and another thing," I said, turning back."No more underworldy stuff. Ok??" I said because I was sure if he did one other magic thing he always did, he would melt into a puddle of shadow. I totally didn't need it.

"Okay ma'am," he said, rolling his eyes. Awww..he's so cute that way...I chuckled a little as I left the room. I went to the front hall again and checked on other patients who were still recovering from the attack we had a few days ago. Most of them had recovered by now, but some got injured very badly. Even though I knew they deserved a room, I decided to keep it for Nico............ I don't know why, but he is very special to me. That's totally weird, right..............? Anyway, I was sure that they could leave after one more day so it wasn't a big problem. While I was checking them, I remembered that Nico didn't have any spare clothes. So after my check-ups, I went to his room again. But when I opened the room, the view surprised me. He was fast asleep cuddling a pillow. I didn't know he was a cuddler. And he has changed into a pyjama. I didn't know how he got it, but I guessed I would leave that question to tomorrow morning. So I closed the door again and went to my room I had in the infirmary. I after a quick wash, I went to the bed. It was a long day, after all.
