Let Me Explain The Rules Of Dating Nico

Will had slept over in Nico’s cabin again. This wasn’t unusual. He had a whole draw dedicated to his clothes and spent half his time there and half managing the Apollo Cabin.

Drowsy, he dragged himself out of bed dressed only in his boxers and headed into the bathroom to see Nico. Nico was wearing his sleeping clothes (baggy shorts and one of Will’s t-shirts) and was brushing his teeth whilst humming Imagine Dragons. Will smiled and walked up behind Nico to wrap his arms around his waist and kissed the back of his neck.

“Hey, darlin’.”

Nico spat his toothpaste out and rinsed his mouth.

“Hey, amore.” He sounded nonchalant but his cheeks had pinked and his eyes wandered to Will’s abs. Will mock gasped, starting to tickle Nico’s sides.

“Are you objectifying me, Mr. Di Angelo?” he teased as Nico’s laughter sounded so loud the nymphs could probably hear it.

“No,” Nico said in between squeals.

“I saw you looking!”

At this point Nico had fallen to the floor and looked like he might burst a gut laughing. It was nice to see. The grin on his face was so wide it might have split it in half.

Eventually, Will relented.

“Well, I suppose I can forgive you,” he said. “I am very hot after all.”

Nico sat up, grabbing onto Will’s hand that reached out to help him up.

“Stronzo.” Nico stuck his tongue out. Will winked and went to pick up his tooth brush. When he looked up in the mirror, he noticed Nico’s eyes light up as he remembered something.

“What is it?”
“Tea!” Nico exclaimed. Will frowned.

“Milk no sugar.”

Nico waved a hand. “No, not that kind. Dinner kind of tea. You’ve been invited for tea with my parents. It’s your first time so please wear something other than flip flops.”

Will started to protest in favour of his flip flops before he remembered something rather important.

“Wait... First time? I’ve met Hades and Persephone before.”

Nico sighed. “No, not those parents. The other ones.”

“The other ones?”

“So, William,” Jason said as he stuck his fork deep into his steak. “Nico tells me you’ve been dating for a while.”

Will, in his Sunday best, glanced over at Nico to check if Jason was really being serious and the expression on Nico’s face said yes. Percy, meanwhile, hadn’t said anything so far but was glaring at Will with such intensity that it made him squirm and quickly look away.

“Um, yes,” Will answered. “A good few months, yeah.”

“How old are you again?”

Will swallowed a spoonful of peas. “Jason, you already know...” He sighed. “Fifteen. I’m fifteen.”

Jason raised an eyebrow. The clinking of cutlery was all that could be heard for a few moments. Nico looked both like he was holding his breath and he had already accepted defeat, something which was very rare for him. Percy’s gaze hardened even further.

“You know Will works in the infirmary,” Nico supplied, seeing Will was unsure. Will shot him a grateful look.

“Yeah. It’s a tough job but I love it. I want to work in medicine when I’m older too.”

Jason coughed and said not so quietly under his breath, “Not a lot of time for Nico then.”

“I’ll make time,” Will promised. “Besides, Nico will be busy himself. He’s very ambitious. It’s one of his best qualities.”

“Yes it is.” Jason sniffed. “One of many but one of them isn’t table manners. Nico, get your elbows off the table.”

Nico held his hands up in surrender, folding them after and huffing in indignation.

“What are your intentions for Nico?” Percy finally spoke up.

“Percy! You can’t say that!” Nico objected.

“I can say whatever I damn well want to the guy trying to get in your pants.”

“Percy!”

“You know when I was your age,” Percy began.

“That was five minutes ago!” Nico said. “Look, Will is a good guy. I love him very much. We are happy. Isn’t that enough?”

“Look, Nico,” Jason patted his hand. “When you have kids you’ll understand.”

It was at this moment that Will realised meeting Hades and Persephone didn’t hold a candle to this. They were the ultimate overprotective parents.
At the end of an incredibly awkward meet the parents, Will was about to leave and get some serious cuddle therapy when Percy slung an arm around his shoulder.

“One last thing,” he said. “Let me explain to you the rules of dating Nico...”

Nico grabbed Will’s hand and dragged him back to the Hades Cabin before his parents could get in another word.
