AN: I couldn't help myself so I wrote this short little extra bit :) It's set a bit in the future from when where the last chapter left off. It's a little random I suppose but I felt like I needed to tie up a few loose ends and really, I just wanted to right a little bit more.
It never ceased to amaze him how tired he could get after a day at the hospital. Every day, Will would return home thinking to himself that it couldn't possibly get any worse. But it seemed that the universe just wanted to challenge him as each day he came through the front door, he felt increasingly more tired than the previous night. He assured himself that it would get better eventually, that this period of complete energy-sapping mayhem was just a product of being a fresh-out-of-med-school doctor.
It would get better eventually. He hoped.
As he sauntered into his apartment, he blindly fumbled for the lights. It would do him no good to trip and crash onto the floor, even if the lights were all too bright for his current state of mind.
Groaning slightly at the dazzling lights, he moved his hands to cover his eyes.
It was then that he heard a shuffling of footsteps before two slender arms snaked their way around his waist and pulled him back into the welcoming form of his boyfriend. Leaning back into the embrace, he smiled as he the sweet scent of caramel invaded his nose. His whole body relaxed as he melted into Nico's arms.
Slowly he turned, opening his eyes, to face the shorter boy. He drank in the sight of his pretty little Angel boy as his lowered his head down to give him a gentle kiss. It didn't take long for it to escalate into something a bit more passionate but it was over all too soon for Will. He grumbled at the loss of contact as Nico pulled away, chuckling.
"You look dead on your feet. Let's get you to bed before I have to carry your unconscious butt there."
Will mumbled in agreement as he let himself be dragged away into their bedroom. Luckily, he had Nico to guide him; otherwise, he definitely would have tripped on Felix.
It wasn't long after the pair had moved in together that they decided to adopt a cat together from the nearby shelter. After all, a stray cat had brought them together to begin with.
Upon arriving at the shelter, Will had been shocked to see the little ginger fur ball he'd found on the streets staring right up at him from where he lay in his cushioned bed. Apparently, after all this time, the now grown up cat had refused to be adopted by anyone; putting up a fight any time that anyone tried to take him away from the shelter. But the moment that he saw Will, he jumped up right into his arms, taking him completely by surprise.
Nico and Will had hardly hesitated in adopting Felix. To do otherwise would have just felt wrong.
As the pair gradually made their way into bed, Felix followed, eventually leaping up to curl up between them. Will reminisced over everything since that fateful day that he first stumbled across Felix and he found that he couldn't be more grateful that he had been the one to find him. If it weren't for Felix, he would never have met Nico and right now, curled up in the arms of said boy, he couldn't imagine a life without him.
Aaaaand we're done!
My first fic is complete! I can't even believe I've done it. When I started this, I had never envisioned it would be this long. I had sort of imagined a maximum of around 3,000 words or so, but naturally I tend to write A LOT and rarely pay attention to word counts.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this little piece of mine, let me know what you think in the reviews :)
