Chapter FiftySeven

I apologise in advance for some really awkward kissing. I've never properly kissed anyone before, so all my knowledge of it is from other fanfictions. This will probably be really awkward, but since Will and Nico are really awkward it wi hopefully be acceptable.

WPOV:

I'm allowed out of the hospital that evening. My parents are staying at mine, and they won't let us stay in the same room.

When we get home, we have to organise sleeping arrangements. Nico has I sleep in the sofa and my parents will have the spare room, while I'll stay in my room.

Despite my parents's angry looks, I kiss Nico all the time, making up for when I couldn't. He happily obliges, to their horror. Their expressions are priceless.

Late at night, we finally go to bed. After laying awake for hours, I slip out of bed and sneak into the living room.
"Are you awake?" I whisper.
"No." Nico whispers back.

I grin and vault over the back of the couch, leaning on top of him. He yelps, but I put my hand over his mouth before he makes too much noise. I move aside as he sits up, then lean close to him. He rests his head on my shoulder and I wrap my arms around him, smiling.

"I love you." Nico mumbles. My smirk widens as I pull him closer.
"I love you too!" I beam.
"If you pull me any closer I'll be on your lap." Nico laughs softly. I smirk and pull him into my lap, and he readjusts himself so he's facing me.

"What time is it?" He whispers. I check my watch.
"About one am."
"I don't think I'm going to be able to fall asleep." Nico tells me, leaning his head on my chest.
"Me either." I admit, kissing he top of his head.

He looks up at me, smiling, and gives my lips a quick kiss. When he goes to move him away, I put my hand on the back of his head and kiss him again, for longer this time.

His lips part slightly and I take the opportunity, taking him by surprise. However, he doesn't resist, and soon enough he joins in. His mouth tastes minty.

Nico puts his arms around my neck and his fingers slip up my neck and into my hair, tangling it. I tilt my head to one side to stop our noses from bumping as he leans as close as he can get. His front is pressed right against mine, with only our shirts separating our chests.

As if reading my mind, Nico starts tugging t the hem of my tshirt. I take it off and smile as I see him staring at my chest. I go to take his off, but he stops me.

"What's wrong?" I ask gently.
"We... We're going too fast." He mumbles, avoiding looking at my face.
"Sorry. I should have realised..."
"It's okay." Nico tells me. "I-I don't mind kissing..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." He nods. I give him a small kiss, and he smiles, kissing me back. We continue kissing like before, but now I have my shirt off.
"I love you." I say again his lips.
"I love you too." He replies, wrapping his arms around me. "More than you could ever imagine."

Oh gods what am I doing with my life?
