Nico couldn't breathe, couldn't think. What was happening? His body wasn't functioning properly. But why? Was all this happening to him just because he was so close to Will? No. No, that's preposterous!

Or was it?

Nico had been bottling his feeling about Will for so long now that they were too much for him to contain.

Before Nico could register what he was doing, he felt his lips pressing against Will's. When he came to his senses and realised what was happening - that he was kissing Will - he couldn't bring himself to stop.

When the boys eventually stopped, Nico didn't know what to do. Should he say something? Do something? He hadn't kissed anyone like that before and had no idea what to do.

"Nico?" Will said.

Oh no he's going to say that he hates me and hated kissing me and that I need to get my disgusting self out of his kingdom - Nico thought.

But instead of voicing his worries, he stuttered out, "y-yes?"

Will smiled, instantly calming Nico and making him forget his upsetting thoughts, and said, "you're a really good kisser," then proceeded to kiss the crown prince of Pégre.

After that kiss they realised they were in quite a compromising position in the middle of a corridor so the boys stood up and entered Nico's rooms. They sat down in the front room, in the armchairs before the fire, and talked.

"How long have you wanted to kiss me?" Was the first question Will asked.

Nico answered honestly: "since the day I first saw you." Then it was Nico's turn to ask a question: "why did you pick my sister?"

"Honestly, it was because I wanted to be closer to you. Not that I see anything wrong with her, I just don't have any interest in marrying her, or any woman in fact." The answer made Nico's heart sing with joy.

The boys continued their talk for hours, until a servant knocked on the door, asking for Will. "You're not hurt, are you, your highness?" She asked before leading Will out of the room.

Now alone in his chambers, Nico processed all that had been shared in their conversations. Will liked him. Nico couldn't believe his luck. But then he realised that they couldn't be together. Will had to marry Bianca and Nico had his own kingdom to run in the future.

Nico was not ashamed to admit that he cried his heart out about it.

After Nico had cried all the tears he could, he heard a knock on his door. The prince stood up and opened it to reveal Bianca.

"Brother why are you crying?" She asked, rushing into the room and wrapping her arms around her younger brother.

Nico told her everything: liking Will, kissing Will, their conversation after the kiss, everything.

Once he had let it all out - Bianca listening to every word - the siblings sat and hugged until Nico felt better.

"Thank you, B," he said and kissed her cheek.

"You're welcome, Neeks. And I would just like to say, I think you should try to find a way to be with Will, and I will help you do that, because I think you would make such a cute couple." With that, the princess got up and left.

Nico thought about what Bianca had said then got up and went looking for Will.
