There was something off about Nico. He seemed... Distracted (he hates you. He's going to leave you). He jumped when Will touched his shoulder at breakfast, his eyes were far away at lunch, and at dinner he all he did was stare absently at his food. To say the least, Will was worried. What if Nico had been using his underworldly powers too much again? Will didn't want to risk Nico dying again. He didn't want to see the boy laying on a bed in the infirmary while his body faded into nothingness. So Will went to Nico's cabin after dinner. He knocked on the door and waited for a moment until Nico poked his head out and looked at him with eyes like a deer in the headlights. Will cocked his head and asked him if he was doing ok, if he wanted to talk about anything. Nico shook his head, squeaked out a no, and shut the door quickly (he can't stand you).

As the week wore on, Will became increasingly worried. Nico seemed to jump or twitch whenever Will touched him or at least made his presence known. As his worrying increased, so did his anxiety. Constant streams of self beratement flooded his brain (useless disgusting bother waste of space nuisance mistake) and began interfering with his work in the infirmary. Finally, after the eighth day of awkwardness, Will forced himself to talk to Nico about why he'd been acting so weird. After dinner, with determination in his eyes, Will went to Nico's cabin and knocked on the door. Nico answered and before Will could say anything, was shooting out apologies and inviting him inside. This led to Will's current situation. He was sitting on Nico's bed with his hands in his lap while Nico was seated next to him.

"So I guess I should tell you why I've been acting weird." Nico muttered and Will almost didn't hear him.

"Please do." Will probably sounded overeager but he didn't care.

"Ok," Nico took a deep breath before he continued. "So, um, last week, I, uh, I had a dream, and, uh, you were there. In the dream. And, um. We, um, we, uh. Um. We may or may not have done a thing. In the dream." His eyes were on the floor and he was rubbing his palms against his jeans. His face resembled a tomato.

Will stared at him silently before he exploded into laughter. He hooted and howled for a good three minutes before he came back down, rubbing his eyes and holding his sides (he's ashamed of you).

"Nico are you telling me that you've been avoiding me because you had a dream where we had sex?" Will's voice was laced with mirth.

Nico's eyes were still focused on the floor and he mumbled out a yes before pulling his hands up to hold his elbows. Will pulled the smaller boy into a hug, resting his head on the Nico's (he thinks you're disgusting. He doesn't want to look at you because you disgust him).

"Thats nothing to be ashamed of, Nico, it's completely normal." He assured.

"Yeah but it's awkward. When I see you I get all hot and stuff." Nico was still talking quietly and Will felt him cover his face with his hands.

Will chuckled and kissed the boys temple.

"Nico, sexual attraction is completely normal, albeit embarrassing." Will leaned down to mutter in Nico's ear before he went on. "Besides, if you ever need help with anything, I'd be more than happy to assist you."

Nico yowled, smacked Will's chest and let out a loud "Solace!" For the second time that night, Will found himself howling with laughter.

A week went by before either of them brought up The Conversation. It was at night, just after the campfire. Nico pulled Will down to whisper in his ear and then both of them sneaked away to the Hades cabin, unnoticed.
