Summary
“My mom and I got into a fight… Wednesday, I think? Her boyfriend was over and they were drinking, being too much and we- I made a scene, I guess. So, she took my house key, told me to get out till I learn to mind my own business. Y’know how it is.”
Nico frowns, because really, he can’t say he does. Maybe he did know, years ago when he was still living with his father. He put up with lonely dinners, loud silences, and cold shoulders because, despite everything, the place was always his to stay in. But then he was taken into the Jackson-Blofis household, and he found a home that’s more than just a roof over his head. The pain of feeling alone had almost faded over the years.
Yet, it still turns his stomach, knowing that his past loneliness may be only a fraction of what Will’s probably feeling now

Summary
For a moment, the dim lighting casts a soft haze that almost washes away some of Will's exhaustion. His previously paled face seems to have regained some warmth, the harsh lines and dark circles under his eyes softened, and Nico watches as his gaze sweeps across the room with a quiet curiosity. His gaze linger on the poster wall, scanning the eclectic mix in silence before quirking an eyebrow in Nico’s direction.
“You like musicals?”
Nico’s scowling before he even realizes it, arms crossing over his chest. “Shut up, Solace.”
Will squints at him curiously, a small smile tugging across his lips. “I didn’t even say anything. It’s just a question.”
Rolling his eyes, Nico turns his back on him, grabbing a pile of something off the floor and tossing it toward his closet with a dull thud. “Well, I just think some of them are neat. I’m not some weird theater kid or whatever.”
He hears a soft chuckle at the defense, and when Nico glances back, Will is now leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, looking much more at ease. “Aw, damn. And here I was thinking you were gonna sing me a little serenade for the night.”

Summary
With one last look at the room, Will heads for the window. His fingers curl around the wooden frame as he pushes it open slowly—or tries to. It’s much nicer than the one at his house—actually, it’s way nicer. Unfortunately, it’s also way trickier to open, and he fumbles with it for a solid minute, cursing under his breath when it stays stubbornly shut. When he finally manages to get it open halfway, he grins to himself as he peers outside. A fire escape, nice.
It’s a little bit of a drop, but the contentment of finally being able to escape outweighs any hesitation. So, he starts shimmying out, pulling his bag with him. For a moment, he pauses, trying to figure out how to maneuver through the narrow opening. Something catches on his bag, and he stumbles, one leg halfway over the sill when—
Knock knock knock.

Summary
“So many UFOs and cats, and yet nothing about Industrial Revolution?” Nico mutters, flipping through Will’s notebook with a raised eyebrow.
Will leans over, craning his neck to see. “First of all, that’s not just a UFO—it’s the Death Star.”
Nico gives him a blank look.
Will stares back, incredulous. “Star Wars? Hello?”
“Never got into it,” Nico replies with a shrug, as if he hadn’t just confessed a mortal sin.
Will gawks at him for a moment longer before pulling himself together. “Okay, this partnership has terms now. Step one: I’m fixing this glaring hole in your life.”
“Uh-huh,” Nico deadpans, flipping to another page. “Can you tell me how that’s gonna help us pass?”

Summary
“Fuck.”
Immediately, he hears the knife clatter as Will steps closer, watching him with a small frown. “What happened?”
“Burnt my finger,” Nico mutters, shaking his hand out. “Dammit.”
Will doesn’t hesitate. To Nico’s surprise, he gently takes his wrist and leads him over to the sink. “Cold water,” Will says firmly, turning the tap on. “It doesn’t look bad, but let’s keep it under for a minute or so.”
Nico stays quiet, more aware of the way Will leans closer, his brow furrowed and his mouth set in something close to a pout as he examines Nico’s hand. The rush of cool water is a relief, but it doesn’t do much to calm the sudden flurry of emotions.
After a moment, Will turns off the tap and steps back, giving Nico a smile warm enough to make him pause. A dimple forms on Will’s left cheek as he asks, “Better?”
Nico opens his mouth, but nothing comes out. Before he can force a response, Will freezes, his nose wrinkling.
“Is that smoke?”

Summary
Nico looks nice in the early afternoon sun, black hair catching hints of brown in the sunlight. When he turns, his eyes are also flecked with similar soft hints of color. He’s in a dark grey quarter-zip, sleeves pushed up to show a few corded bracelets and, most interestingly, Will catches a glint of silver on his ears.
“You have your ears pierced?”
Nico blinks as he picks up the book, a hand raising to fumble with his earrings. Will gets a better look—tiny dangling daggers, he realizes. “Oh, yeah. Piper did it for me… ten months ago? Maybe?”
He’s kind of overwhelmed how Nico is simultaneously able to look so soft and be so kind while also being the coolest person ever, but he doesn’t want to be creepy and voice that. So instead he asks, “Is she, like, licensed to do that?”
Nico just grins, shrugging. “Oh, sure. She has the Parent Trap method down to an art.”
Will wrinkles his nose as he takes the book back, throwing it into his bag as he stands. He’ll figure out his page number later. “Please don’t tell me you guys used the apple slices.”
“Okay, I won’t tell you that we—”
“Dude.”

Summary
The house isn’t even all that decorated—just a few plastic pumpkins and a cardboard headstone—but there’s a little plastic stool placed thoughtfully beneath the doorbell for vertically-challenged trick-or-treaters like Estelle. She practically jumps up on it before slamming a hand on the button.
A few seconds later, as Nico is pulling her away from slamming the doorbell a fourth time, a man opens the door, holding a a bowl of candy. He smiles at the two of them, showing off plastic fangs. “Well, look at this! What are you guys?”
Estelle puffs up her chest, fanning her arms. “Parrot,” she says proudly, and lets out a squawk so loud it startles Nico. Then, without warning, she jabs him in the leg. Hard.
He straightens, forcing a grimace into something vaguely friendly. “And I’m a pirate,” he mutters.
Another jab.
“Uh. Arghh, matey.”
