Wait, we have to go?

Nico POV

"Hi Will, nice of you to show up." I said with sarcasm. And yet he didn't get it.

"Nico, I'm sorry for, everything basically."

"But you haven't done that much wrong, you just came a bit late and maybe seem to have been avoiding me but-" He then started to cry. "Will, are you OK? Of course you're not, come here."

I closed the door to my cabin behind us.

"Look, you need to speak."

"Don't hate me please."

"Why would I? I'm just a bit annoyed that you didn't tell me."

He seemed to relax, but knowing him, he just did that to make me worry less. After taking a deep breath, he started telling me what  the problem was.

"I kind of, well, might need to,  you know, maybe and only if you want to, go like-"

I took his hand and looked at him reassuringly. He does this whenever I get nightmares or visions.

"We need to go to my mother's house and my grandmother's funeral." 

"And why didn't you tell me that she died? Oh my gods, you shouldn't keep this to yourself you silly!" I hugged him and made sure to do it in a cute manner so that he would be happy.

As I expected, when I looked up at him he told me I looked like a cute little kitten.

"I'm not cute!" I groaned, but I couldn't help the smile that I wore on my face.

"Yes you are!"

We lay on my bed, just enjoying our intertwined bodies. I wasn't good at comforting people so I hoped that that was enough. I kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm still expecting details though." I said at last.

"Well, my mother has always asked me to come back to see her and well, she is very racist and homophobic and yes she might have been raised like that but it still isn't fair. So last month she told me that my grandma was dying and we really had to go back.

I feel really bad for not going because now she is dead, and there's nothing I can do. And if I do go back to my mother, I can't just go alone, so maybe if you could come? Now, you probably don't want to but please?" It was more of a plead than a question.

"Yes, but you said she is homophobic, which means you either fight her or we go as friends and that disgusts me."

"So you agree? Oh my gods, thank you Nico!"

"Of course I would go! But promise me that you will come out to your mother, but definitely don't on the river Styx. Just in case..."

"I promise Nico, I hope that's enough."

This was a very strange position we were in right now. Our faces were like half a centimetre away from each other and our bodies could have been glued together, which would be gross to be honest, but they didn't seem to be able to separate at all so...

Just when we kissed, it wasn't even that long, just a quick little peck, Percy came in.

"Hey guys," he turned around quickly when he saw us. " Are you dressed? If not I hope you used the right protection..."

I felt my face turn red. Percy is always annoying and does not seem to understand I'm fucking ace!

 Will was quiet, like he usually was around my friends. They were of course his friends too, but he seemed to think that when 'Nico's Protection Squad' told him they would kill him if he hurt me they meant it.

I'm not saying they didn't, but that he believed and understood it.

"Don't worry water boy, you and your wise girl Annabeth have been walked on by us twice already, while here we are, with all our clothes on."

"Hey, it's not my fault you came into our cabin on my birthday! To celebrate a party. Like bro, let me be with my girlfriend!"

"Yes, your girlfriend. For all I know you could be cheating her with that teacup."

"Nico! I thought a member of the LGTBQI+, I can't believe I said it correctly, would understand it!" He whined. He told me he was pansexual and I really couldn't stop teasing him about it. I mean, after all the 'not your type' jokes, he definitely deserves it.

"Fine, but that was two times, you're only excused for one. What about the other?"

"What are you, my mother?"

"Old enough to be your grandpa. And listen to your elders." Yep, I use it quite often. Never grows old haha, yes.

"Well I would if they weren't shorter than me. You're short enough to be my son." 

Wow, that was a low blow. Haha, sorry. 

I was going to go all angry at him until Will picked me up, I of course didn't oppose, and held me piggy back way on his shoulders. Now I was taller than Percy.

"You're still old and blind, like, you didn't see the sock on the door."

Then Will decided to learn how to talk. Bad moment.

"He knew what it meant, he just wanted to embarrass you." I then made sure to grab his hair as if I was falling, but playfully. 

"Oh, wanted to see my beautiful body? I thought I wasn't your type."

Of course my face was red, it's useless at hiding stuff. Maybe if I were to cut it, it would probably help but headless people don't usually survive much.

"Well, this here is why you only get fish and girls as your lovers. I, on the other hand, get Care Bears, doctors and night lights."

Now Will was red, I just had to get back at him. Wow, I managed to get him to glow, double points!

"But I was once your type, are you under the  fish or girl category?"

"Percy what did you want?" That was Will. He probably wanted to finish the conversation we had started to have before. I understood the tone of his voice, but I'm pretty sure Percy didn't.

"Just wanted to come in and yell, 'you two are having sex'!"

"Well, clearly not today or ever, Percy I'm asexual!,"I said closing the door to my cabin. Percy was fun, until he started to get annoying. But it was just then when Will seemed to start to like him. Like in a bro way.
