As soon as Will opened the door to his apartment, he knew he was in trouble. There was a bitter tension in the air, and when Will looked up, he saw Nico standing a good distance away. At first glance, you'd think the black haired boy was angry, it was written all over his face. But Will knew Nico, and looked past the mask of anger. He winced as he saw the feelings of hurt, and. . . was that fear? Will opened his mouth, but Nico held up a hand before Will could make a sound.
"Don't. Just, don't."
Will stayed quiet, but tapped the wall to let Nico know he was listening. Sometimes, non-verbal acknowledgments were better with Nico.

"Do you love me?" Nico asked, his voice shaky, and he gritted his teeth at the weakness in his voice.
Will's jaw unhinged. "What type of question is that! Of course I do!"
Nico shook his head, his hands beginning to shake. "Really?" He scoffed, crossing his arms to hide the trembles.
Will smirked, his eyes drifting to the bruise on the side of Nico's neck, and when he spoke, his voice was seductive. "Do you need me to prove it to you?" Will immediately knew that was the wrong thing to say, Nico's face morphing into an expression of pure fury, not the mask used to hide his emotions.
"Is that all our relationship is to you!? Sex, and touches?! Do you even take our relationship seriously? Do you take me seriously?" Will didn't have the chance to respond, Nico continuing to talk. "I give myself to you fully, for the first time last night Will! I gave myself to you!" Nico had tears rolling down his face, and he took a choked breath. "And then, I wake up this morning, and you're gone Will, gone! What am I supposed to think?" Nico shouted, and it finally hit Will what Nico was implying.
"Oh, oh no, baby, no!" Will said, crossing the room before Nico could stop him, and enveloping the younger boy in his arms.

"What am I supposed to think Will?" Nico said softer, tilting his head up towards Will, his misted grey eyes unfocused and full of tears. "I'm blind and you're gone, the morning after we have sex for the first time. What am I supposed to do, but sit and wait, and hope." Will too had tears running down his cheeks, and he ran a hand through Nico's shaggy black hair.
"I'm so sorry Nico. I, I didn't think, I mean, I," Will struggled, before he settled on kissing Nico's forehead. "Nico, this relationship is my life. Everyday I'm so thankful you're my boyfriend, so thankful that only I can mark up your pale skin," Nico blushed, his hand flying to his throat, his pale fingers locking around Will's, whose hand had been tracing the hicky. "So thankful for you." Will finished, and leaned down to kiss Nico gently. Nico kissed back, his sightless eyes sliding shut as he melted into Will's embrace.

"I love you." Nico murmured again Will's lips, and he felt Will grin.
"I love you too."
