There was a lasting silence. Nico was staring blankly at the ball that sat in his lap. His hair hung over his eyes, and Will had no idea of the expression on his face. Nico glanced up at Will's sheet-white face.

He probably just let it slip. It's not like he would trust me with that. Nico thought, staring at the bright green ball again. Will swallowed audibly, causing Nico to finally look up at him, not just glance at him from the corner of his eye.

"Will?" Nico asked, watching the blonde carefully.

"I didn't just do that," Will said quietly. "That never happened, Nico."

"Will-"

"Nico. It didn't happen,"

"Will-!"

"No. No, no this isn't happening." He said, starting to pace.

"Will!" Nico snapped.

Will stopped pacing, and looked at Nico, still unnaturally pale.

"I'm gay, too, Will." Nico said slowly, his heart beating in his throat.

Will froze completely. His overexcited fingers stopped moving, and Nico knew he had definitely been tapping his foot. But now, he was completely still.

"W-what?" Will choked. (On what exactly, Will? Sorry not sorry)

Nico and Will were just starring at each other, Will's face completely blank. Nico's face was stony, but on the inside he was scared he had made the biggest mistake of his life.

The rest of the day was, to say the least, awkward. Even when Will was gone, Nico knew it. He could see the tension that Will had merely left behind. Nico knew Will's confession may have changed things just by itself, but Nico's changed everything between them.

Larissa had made an appearance, since Will had left the room in a hurry. The smile she gave Nico when she came in held nothing but loathing. Why she was so mad, Nico had no clue.

"You know Will is gay, right?" Larissa hissed.

Nico froze. "What?"

"So you didn't?"

"I definitely did, but how do you?" Nico narrowed his eyes.

"He pretty much told the whole hospital. I'm sure he hoped it didn't reach you," Larissa said stiffly.

"Why?" Nico said as she gave him his daily shots.

"He has feelings for you, dimwit."

Nico's heart leaped into his throat, for the second time that day. Larissa smiled wickedly, before leaving Nico alone. Will had walked in to find Nico staring at the wall blankly.

"Nico?" Will said hesitantly.

Nico's attention immediately snapped to him. "Larissa visited,"

Will became stiff. "What did she say?"

"Nothing much," Nico said vaguely.

"Nico. . . What did she say?"

Nico frowned. "Shetoldmethatyouhavefeelingsformeandleft,"

Will almost tripped as he walked over to Nico. "What?"

"She said-"

"I know what you said," Will said, a blank expression on his face.

Nico hesitated, before asking the question that mattered. "Was she lying?"

"Not necessarily?"

Nico's mouth felt dry. This was the first time someone had feelings for him, and he didn't feel the same.

Okay it's super short, but I'm so depressed and crap, and I really don't need the stress of forcing a long chapter upon myself. I just feel terrible about my writing skills. Like I feel like I used to think I was talented and now I feel like I have absolutely no talent in anything so? Let me know when you want an update, I'm just really stressed/depressed and I might not post an update for a while since school is starting. Goodbye, my talented frens.
