Will's crap day

"Hey guys." Will greeted the group, happy as usual before seating himself next to Nico.

Will turned to kiss him, but Nico deliberately turned his head. Instead, Will ended up placing a sloppy kiss on Nico cheek.

"Awwwwww." The group sighed contently, not noticing the awkward dodge.

Will frowned at Nico, who didn't even look at him. But the group yet again, didn't seem to notice the tension.

"Don't "awwww" at us." Nico defended grumpily.

Will looked away embarrassed, and crossed his arms.

"You two are the cutest thing since that time Frank got a fright and accidentally turned into a pug." Jason recalled.

"Oh yeah, I remember that. Did you see his little paws?" Piper said to Jason, contorting her face at the cuteness of the memory.

"We are not cute." Nico snapped.

"You are so Nico." Piper argued.

Will looked down at his plate self consciously. But this time Piper noticed.

She reached over and took his hand.

"Don't worry Will." She reassured him.
" He just doesn't want to admit he's half of the worlds cutest couple because he knows it's true and doesn't want to gloat."

He forced a grateful smile.

"Thanks Piper."

But he didn't believe her.

----- later that day.

"Hey Will." Nico said as he casually strolling into the infirmary later on that day, munching on an apple.

Will was still mad at Nico from lunch. As soon as he saw Nico, Will quickly walked over to the closest storage cupboard and started cleaning it, so he didn't have to talk to him. He was sooooooo not on the mood right now.

Will didn't turn to face him, "Hey." He replied in a monotone voice.

"Whatcha been doing." Nico asked tossing his apple into the nearest bin and missing.

Nico winced and hesitated whether he should pick it up, but then didn't and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Will just shrugged.

"Are you okay?" Nico asked furrowing his brow. Will wasn't usually this quiet.

"Mhmm." Will hummed a yes, still clearly grumpy.

"Are you sure? You're acting weird." He asked his boyfriend again, not believing him.

"Wow, thanks!" Will answered sarcastically, with the smallest amount of bite in his tone.

"Hey, talk to me." Nico walked over to where Will was and leaned against the cupboard.

Will didn't meet Nico's eyes. He ignored him and continued cleaning.

"Will please." Nico begged, stepped between Will and the cupboard.

Will sighed, "Why are you ashamed of me?" He asked, his words coming out more firmly than he'd intended.

Nico's eyes seemed to triple in size. He frowned in concern.
"I'm not ashamed of you. What on earth makes you think that?"

Will frowned harshly and turned away.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter."

"Of course this matters Will." Nico placed a hand on Will's arm to stop him walking away.
"What made you think that? Was it because of before, at lunch?"
