Nico frowned when he awoke and found he wasn't cuddling Will but one of Will's hoodies. He yawned, sitting up and pulling on the orange Cabin 7 hoodie with 'Solace' written on the back and rubbing his eyes. There was still twenty minutes left of breakfast so that's where he assumed Will would be. Nico was far too sleepy to do anything other than run a hand through his hair and hope it looked alright before stumbling out of his cabin. Everyone else was already eating so he enjoyed the momentary peace and quiet as he walked.

He plonked himself next to Will, ignoring people staring at him as it was a usual occurrence. His food was waiting for him and he thanked Will under his breath, pecking his boyfriend's cheek and picking up a knife and fork. He was starting to cut his food when he caught Will's massive grin in the corner of his eyes.

"What?" Nico asked warily. He glanced around and saw quite a few people still staring at him. That was odd. Typically, they'd stop after he began eating. Nico shot them a quick death glare and they hastily looked away.

However, Will was stifling a laugh.

"What?" Nico snapped. "If you have something to say, be out with it."

"Nothing." Will shook his head with a chuckle. "I'm just... admiring my artwork."

The penny dropped. Nico snatched the small mirror Will offered him and held it up to reveal two purple bruises on his neck.

"William Solace!" he exclaimed loud enough to catch attention. Will couldn't help laughing now at Nico's indignant expression.

"In my defence, you didn't complain at the time." Will held up his hands as Nico assaulted him with harmless sweater paws. Nico stood and Will stood after, looping his arms around Nico's waist and kissing his forehead.

"I personally think they're gorgeous, babe. Really brings out your eyes."

Nico glowered. "If I didn't love you, I would tear out your hair, peel your skin off your body and give your eyeballs to Cerberus instead of tennis balls."

Will gave him a lopsided smile. "Lucky you love me, huh?"

Nico scoffed, rolling his eyes and shoving Will away. He stormed off, yelling over his shoulder, "Vaffanculo!"

Grinning, Will sank back into his seat, continuing to eat. People were staring at him, jaws slack with shock.

"What? He's adorable." Will laughed.

"Adorable?" his brother, Austin, repeated. "Dude, he's terrifying."

"Not really. The actual terrifying ones are-"

"Solace! What did you do?!" Jason boomed. Will groaned, grabbed a slice of toast and hopped out of his seat.

"Got to run!"

That was how Will found himself sitting on Nico's bed, hands in his lap with Jason and Percy looking daggers at him, Leo grinning like a maniac, Nico smirking and Annabeth quietly reading in the corner. Calypso staggered in carrying a bag full of weapons.

"You needed these?" she asked. Percy took the bag and dug out a shield. He tossed it to Will.

"This is in case we can't control ourselves," he said. Annabeth snorted. "Now tell us what you did to our innocent Ghost King?"

"I'd hardly call him innocent," Will replied with a wry smile. Nico huffed and folded his arms.

"Kinky, eh?" Leo piped up all too cheerfully. "Just out of interest, what does-"

"No!" Jason interrupted. "What's important is that you gave him a hickey."

Will shrugged. "I asked multiple times for consent. He seemed quite happy."

Nico flushed red and avoided the horrified eyes of his honorary brothers that turned to him. "Shut up, sunny."

"It's alright," Will continued. "I always ask for consent, even when Nico's telling me he wants me to" - Nico hit him over the head - "but if he doesn't like it I can stop."

Nico's scowl fell. "Wait, what?"

"Yeah. If you hate it that much, I'll never give you another. In fact, I'll never kiss your neck full stop and, if that's not enough, I'll never kiss you again or lay a finger on you. We'll remain six inches apart at all times, like in Harry Potter."

"Wait-"

"Yes!" Percy clapped his hands together. "Perfect!"

Will raised an eyebrow in Nico's direction and revelled in the moment when Nico caved in.

"Tu piccolo merda," the Italian cursed. He stared hoarding everyone out of his cabin. "Cambio! Cambio! You've been very helpful - not really - so goodbye now!"

Annabeth and Calypso calmly left whilst Jason and Percy spluttered protests but followed. Before Leo left, he flung a bottle of sunscreen at them.

"Use protection!" he hollered. Nico slammed the door in his face.

Will leaned against the bed post with a satisfied smirk.

"Idiot," Nico grumbled but he got several more hickeys that morning.
