Trans will solace

First date

Nico's pov

When Will and I got back to my cabin we put the strawberries on the counter.

I got ingredients out of the cupboards and made cookies. 2 cookies, 1 for me and 1 for Will. We ate the cookies in silence until Will spoke up.

"These cookies are so good!" He sighed. "I wish I could bake this well, I can fry eggs and heat things up. But baking includes many steps."

"I can teach you sometime." I offer.

"Uh... sure."

"We are going to have so many things made after that though, and I don't eat."

"Well it's almost Christmas so we can drop off sweets at other cabins as gifts." Will gives his ideas "or we can have a party here, if you made the sweets blue Percy would eat more."

"I don't like people, Will."

"I know, a small party. Jason, Piper, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, you, and me."

"That's small enough that we might fit in here. No one in my bedroom though, only you if you are checking on me. I will probably be there because... well, people."

"No! You need to mingle!"

"No, I don't!" I protest.

"Neeks! Please, for meeeeee?" He made the most adorable face, how could I say no?

"Fine, but I won't talk unless talked to!"

~time skip~

It was the party, ugh. I hate talking to people. It was about a week before the winter solstice.

We have blue cupcakes and blue cookies on the counter. Percy is sitting closest to the counter. He seemed to be hovering protectively over the sweets while arguing with Annabeth.

When Annabeth saw me exit my room she ended her conversation with Percy. She ran over to me and told me that coming out isn't easy and that she's proud of me.

Then Piper asked me what she said and I just waved her off.

Will came up to me and held out a drink, punch, Percy brought it.

"No thanks."

"You need to drink something!"

"Fine." I took the cup and gulped it down, knowing that he wouldn't leave till I did.

I felt slightly funny. I wanted more. I went over to the drinks and got more.

I went over to Will and kissed him on the lips. What was I doing? He kissed me back, he wasn't drunk.

I pulled away and went to the bathroom to throw up. When I was done Will was standing outside the bathroom door.

"Neeks? Do you love me?"

"Ya? Why?"

"I was wondering why you kissed me. How long have you liked me?"

I giggled "forever, lovely." I dissolved into giggles again.

Will picked me up bridal style and brought me to my room. He lays me down on my bed and climbed in with me.

"Binder, your binder." I whispered, remembering that he was trans. Then I giggled again.

~time skip~

I woke up and had a massive headache. Will was sleeping with his arms around me and he looked so peaceful.

I fell asleep again.

I woke you with Nico snuggling against me, he was so cold. Was he always this cold?
