In which Nico and Will get slightly distracted during a game of Capture the Flag.
•°•°•
Nico was running through the woods, towards the flag, when he saw Will running towards him from the corner of his eye. Gods, Will.
Nico shook his head and kept running. He had to ignore Will, as much as he wanted to turn around and grab him and kiss him and - no, he couldn't. Not now.
Will was on the other team for Capture the Flag, which meant Nico had to avoid him. Nico's job was clearly to shadow travel and get the flag. Nico just wanted to get as close as he could before he shadow travled. He could almost hear Will's voice in his head, No more Underworld-y stuff, Doctor's orders.
Not that he usually listened to Will. It's not like he had to, I mean, yeah, they were sort of dating. Sort of. I mean, they hung out a lot and Will spent most of his time in Nico's cabin...it's just no one knew. Every once in a while Nico would shadow travel just to annoy him, but only because Will was cute when he was annoyed.
Nico was close enough to shadow travel, and Will was close enough to grab Nico. In all his thinking Nico must have slowed down. Dam you Will.
Will jumped on Nico, who was about to fade into darkness, and pulled him down the ground. Now Will's face was inches above Nico's, and Nico found it hard to breathe.
"Will?" He asked. "Will, get off me." Nico struggled, but Will was holding his shoulders, and Will was so close...and Will's lips were inches away from his own...and Will.
"Hey, sweetie." He whispered, and Nico stopped struggling. "We still have a few minutes 'til Capture the Flag's over." Will's hand was on Nico's chin, and Nico found it hard to concentrate on anything.
"Will," Nico said again. "I'm supposed to be getting the flag." He continued, even though what he really wanted to do was lean up into Will and kiss him.
Will smiled, and Nico's stomach erupted into butterflies. "But wouldn't you rather be here..." Will leaned down towards Nico's ear. "With me?" His voice was soft, and seductive. Gods.
Nico's breaths came out shakey and unsure, if they even came out at all. "Will..." He said once more.
"Why do you keep saying my name?"
"Because I love your name."
Will pulled away from Nico's ear and looked him in the eyes. Nico tried to meet his eyes but his view kept wandering down a couple inches to where Will's lips sat. "Kiss me." Will whispered, leaning down.
Nico turned his head to the side, so he was looking out at the woods instead of Will. "Not here." He said reluctantly. "Not now."
"Nico," Will said, laying his lips just above Nico's ear, on his hair line. "Someone's already got your flag, we have time." He whispered against Nico's skin.
Nico turned his head back up and they looked at each other again. Nico wanted to kiss Will. He wanted to kiss him like the world would stop spinning if he didn't. He wanted to kiss will like his life depended on it, because it did. But he couldn't. Not here, where someone might see them.
"Someone might see us," Nico said, looking away. He could feel Will's eye's looking at him, and his careful smile. His unruly blond hair...Nico could imagine every detail in Will's perfect face.
"But you know," Will's voice was gruff, deep, and Nico's eyes flew wide open. "Deep down you don't care. You just want me to kiss you."
And Nico did want to kiss Will. So he turned his head up, leaned forward, and crashed his lips into Will's. At that moment he didn't care about anything else, all he wanted was Will there now, Will there tomorrow, Will there forever.
