(Requested by @I_C_B_A , sorry this took so long! Which I know, I know, I've been absolute crap at keeping up with updates and I haven't even started on the new fic like I've wanted to. I could go on and on with excuses, the main one being the fact that I'm a terrible human being, the second being school has been killing me and when I do have free time to get writing done, I sit down and Netflix because it doesn't require a mental capacity. Please forgive me...)

"Will, we haven't seen each other in three weeks, and when we finally have plans to meet up, you blow them off?" Nico leaned in the doorway to Will's dorm room, arms crossed.

"Crap! I totally lost track of time." Will dragged Nico into the room as he got ready in thirty seconds flat. "I was listening to this new book I got, and-" Will made an inhuman noise. "It's so freaking good. You don't even know."

"Better than me, apparently." Nico mumbled.

"What?"

"I asked if we should leave."

- - - - -

"Nico, I'm freaking out."

"Nico, call me please."

"Nico answer the damn phone or call me back or anything I'm desperate." Will threw the phone on his bed in frustration, pacing the room, running his hand through his hair.

Welcome to the Black Parade started playing, the ringtone Will had set for Nico, and he dove onto the bed, picking it up before the lyrics even started. "Are you okay?" Nico blurted as soon as there was an answer.

"Snowbaz tore my heart out." Will sighed dramatically, rolling onto his back.

"Snowbaz...?" Nico wasn't sure he heard him right.

"Yeah, Simon Snow and Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch. Only the most amazing people ever."

"Back it up to the beginning, and explain what happened in English, please."

"First off, holy Hades, the accent is the hottest thing I've heard in my life, and Baz, oh my, he's..." Will trailed off. "Wow. And now it's over."

Nico swallowed the lump in his throat. "Are you, are you breaking up with me?"

"What?" Will sat up. "Gods no. Sorry, I just finished listening to Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, and I'm having emotions. I'm basically in love with Snowbaz."

"They are literally fictional characters."

"Just because the characters aren't real, doesn't mean the tears aren't."

"Don't scare me like that. If that was all, I'm going back to bed." Nico had hung up before Will got the chance to say goodbye, frowning.

- - - - -

"Hello?" Nico tried for the third time, sat in front of Will in a booth, waiting for the food to come.

"Sorry, I literally have one more chapter left in this fic." Will reached one hand and grabbed Nico's before turning back to his phone. Nico made a noise before sipping at his drink. "Sorry, it was just really intense. What's going on with you? You haven't been acting like yourself lately." Will turned his phone off, despite not having finished the chapter.

Nico removed his hand, turning to the waitress that was approaching with their burgers and fries. "Thank you," he nodded at the waitress and immediately dug into his food after sending up a quick prayer to the gods.

Will pushed their food to the side, grabbing both of Nico's hands, lacing their fingers together. Nico reluctantly brought his eyes up to meet Will's. "Is everything okay? You don't seem to be here. We barely speak, and you've been acting extremely cold towards me. Something's bothering you and we aren't going to eat until we get this sorted out." Will gently rubbed the back of one of Nico's hands with his thumb. "What's going on, love?"

"I just want to spend time with you, is that such a hard concept to grasp?"

"We are spending time together." Will tilted his head, confused, running through all their meetings in the past few weeks.

"No, we're not. You're spending time with Rainbaz or whatever and I sit here." Nico tried to pull his hands away, uncomfortable with the confrontation. This was exactly the type of thing he liked to avoid at all cost.

"A-are you? Are you jealous?" The corner of his mouth curved upwards in a soft smile, causing Nico to scowl.

"Don't be ridiculous, they're fictitious." Nico paused. "I would just appreciate if you would maybe put the phone down when we hang out, or not call me in the middle of the night causing me to panic, or show up on time for dates."

"You are, you're jealous." Will was back to his full blown smile.

"Fine. I'm jealous, okay? And I know it's stupid, but-"

"It's not stupid, you're right." Will interrupted, pulling Nico's hand up and kissing the palm gently. "I got sucked in and I didn't have my priorities in order, I'm sorry. I promise I'll do my best  to be here. But you shouldn't be too jealous, Baz, the main character, reminds me a lot of you, but I'd way rather have the real thing."

Will leaned over and kissed Nico, just about to deepen it, when Nico pushes him away, blushing. "Let's eat."

- - - - -

Nico took his headphones out, having finished the audiobook. He grabbed the phone immediately, and as soon as there was an answer he exclaimed, "I'm nothing like Baz!"

"Who's calling in the middle of the night because of the book now?" Will laughed quietly so his roommate wouldn't wake up.

"I'm nothing like him." Nico remained stubborn.

"Yeah, okay." Sarcasm dripped from his voice. "Goodnight my love, get some sleep please."

"I love you."

(A/N: Also yes, this was literally just indulging myself in my newly discovered OTP (relax, Solangelo still owns my soul) so thank you for bearing with me. If you haven't read the book, highly recommend, especially the audio book, it was so well done)
