Bodyguard AU/Teacher AU fusion AU

Will is the son of a Very Important Man, Apollo of Sun Banking who serves as the CEO of the company, which means Will grew up very….sheltered. Not many opportunities to make friends, at least. 

When Will is around 28 years old, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and teaching Biology at the local private boarding school, his father starts receiving very detailed threats involving his oldest surviving son (Michael and Lee’s death, years prior, only makes Apollo more protective. At a distance, of course).

Apollo has the amazing idea of hiring his children each their own protection. Not a problem for the already guarded younger kids, but Will and his few older sisters are completely unprotected.

And wouldn’t you know it, Apollo’s been recently recommended Underworld Protection Services, who agree to track down the problem and take care of it.

While also providing bodyguards.

Nico di Angelo is one of the successful guards in the entire company, and of course, Apollo insists on the best.

Will is….not happy. He’s a teacher for Christ’s sake, he can’t just have someone following in his step every moment of the day, He has meetings. He has tutoring hours. He has a classroom guinea pig to take care of. He cannot drag along a random threatening figure to any of these.

Nico absolutely does not care about any of this. He has a job, and he’s the best for a reason and that reason is not because he lets his clients go off gods-know-where at any hours of the day.

Nico also insists on moving into Will’s tiny apartment until the threat has been neutralized. Which. Is that really necessary? Who knows.

((it’s not))

Anyway. 

Will is definitely not pleased towards Nico’s company at all, and yes, he’s fully aware how petty he’s being considering it’s not Nico’s fault at all but still. Not pleased.

And his coworkers and school officers were briefed on the situation. It’s not something they’re exactly advertising, considering the number of pre-teens and teens surrounding them, but all of them are expecting Nico. Some even somewhat befriend him, mostly through the lunch hour fast food runs (Nico prefers the #2 from the local McDonalds, and the #9 from the Wendy’s, the receptionist quickly learn)

And Will is still incredibly frustrated with Nico. He’s always there.

In the mornings, they wake together (Nico even insists they share a room although he uses the fold-out cot)

They make coffee and sip it until their eyes are fully open (although the one time they heard a crash on the fire escape, a bird they later learned, Nico had woken fully in half a second and had Will pushed behind him and his weapon drawn in the next)

They go into the school together (where Nico sits, bored, through Will’s lectures although always follows directions if Will asks him to be his lab assistant)

They eat lunch together (usually packed by Will nowadays because he refuses to watch Nico eat fast-food every day, and Nico always gets salami and swiss just like he likes it)

They go home (the afternoon traffic is a bitch, but Will lets Nico plays his own spotify and it’s kind-of-sort-of hilarious to watch his tough (and incredibly fit, he has to add) bodyguard let loose to an 80s playlist he swears his old roommates made him)

They eat dinner (Nico usually cooks because he likes to and Will is mostly useless when to comes to something other than eggs and assembling sandwiches)

And they watch TV (Will is showing Nico Game of Thrones and the Red Wedding is coming up and Will is dying to see Nico’s reaction)

Then it’s bedtime (brushing their teeth next to each other, making faces in the mirror, and talking until Will realizes what time it is and forces them to be quiet until morning so they aren’t snoozing on their morning alarm)

And Will is completely frustrated with Nico always being there until he realizes that he really, really isn’t anymore.

So. Queue freakout.

And here’s the part of the fic Will goes distant, starts making up excuses and stops talking to him and maybe they even stop watching their shows together. It’s just Nico’s job, after all, and once the threat is taken care of he’ll leave and Will’s going to be alone in his tiny apartment that will never have felt so big and empty.

And all of this comes together one night, before some big school event that the parents are coming up for, that Will is up late preparing for. Nico had already gone to bed, alone because they’re not talking until 2 am anymore, and Will had insisted he would think better alone (he doesn’t)

Going over all his supplies and notes, Will realizes he’s out of paperboard for the welcome sign to his classroom. And he needs a welcome sign. Needs one.

And Nico’s already asleep, has been for a few hours now. And the 24-hour drugstore on the corner has a small arts and crafts section he knows has an array of colors.

It’s a 15, maybe 20-minute trip, max.

There’s no need to wake Nico up, right? Will’s going to be on his own soon enough anyway. He’s a 28-year-old man, he can make a trip to the store on his own despite how pissed Nico will be about it in the morning. 

So Will goes, in pajama pants and a flip flops, and almost makes it to the store. He can see the glowing lights from where he’s walking.

But. Almost.

You see, the reason why Nico’s one of the best bodyguards is because he’s known for never leaving his clients sides. And in a fight, he’s sure to win. Not many people want to go against him, and there are always easier targets.  

Seeing a di Angelo client alone is like catching gold from the sky. And Will’s always had horrible luck.

He doesn’t even see the black-covered figures until they’re in front of him, darker weapons weighing down their hands, and all Will has on him are his keys, his wallet, and an empty pack of gum.

He doesn’t even notice them until one of them has a gun shoved in his face.

God, he thinks, I can’t believe I’m dying for a welcome sign.

Except, of course he’s not. Because Nico wouldn’t be the best if he also wasn’t an extremely light sleeper, who was jerking up in bed just as the door clicked shut. He was a few minutes behind, but he’s there and he’s got the element of surprise.

When Will’s been pushed aside, and Nico’s gun has gone hot and heated, and they are surrounded by blood and huddled figures Nico took out with talent, timing, and luck, they look to each other, wide-eyed. A bit unbelieving. Until -

“You fucking idiot,” Nico snarls, grabbing onto Will’s shoulder and resisting the urge to shake him like a rag doll. “You could have been killed!”

And for a moment, Will forgets about the bodies around them, surely bleeding out for the last time, and he forgets that this is only Nico’s job, and about the threat, and about what almost happened, and he completely forgets about that fucking paperboard.

And as Nico’s hands grip his shoulders, Will does the only thing he can do and pushes his face up for a hard, twisting crush of their lips.

It’s heated and hot and a bit too dry from Nico’s sleeping-breath. It’s messy. It’s perfect.

And Nico jerks away suddenly, taking a few steps back, and Will can’t help the rock of dread that fills his stomach. Until -

“Your apartment,” Nico pants out, fumbling for Will’s hand and gripping it. “Let’s finish this at home.”

Will never does pick up that welcome sign.
