Dates

Nico POV
"That's nothing, child." Annabeth said. "Sit down." She pushed Percy back onto my floor. Why the meetings were always in my cabin, I had no idea. I certainly hadn't invited them to come in and talk about the worst dates they'd ever been on, yet they did it anyway.

So far, Leo had talked about him meeting Khione, even though we kept insisting that wasn't a date. Jason had almost been killed on his first ever date with a girl named Kylie (she was a Mars child. What can ya do?) And Percy talked about how his worst date ever was when he found out Rachel was allergic to blue food dye.

"I thought you guys never dated?" Will asked. Percy flinched. "Anyway.... what about you?" Will looked at Piper expectantly.

"Well," Piper started, "Once I went on a date with this Hecate camper, Donnie, and—"

"Oh my gods! I used to date Donnie!" Will exclaimed. Everyone looked at me anxiously.

"What?" I asked. Percy looked around the room and upon noticing that no one else was going to step up and take initiative, he sighed.

"Nico, Will's been with someone who isn't you." Do they think I'm this stupid? Of course Will had dated other people. He accepted being queer way before I did.

I sighed. "Percy, can we please get back to the game?"

Piper started again. "So, Donnie was a magician. For his 'first trick,'" She put this in air quotes. "He pulled a bird out of his pocket. For his second trick, he snapped his fingers and we were engulfed in a haze of, well, haze. And when the smoke was gone..." She looked around the room for dramatic effect. "He was naked."

"Oh yeah!" Will said. "I forgot he did that. Man, pepper spray has never been better."

"Were you two on the date at the same time, or did he just do that twice." I asked.

"Twice." Will said.

"So," Jason continued what Percy was saying a moment ago, "Nico, you're fine with Will dating other people?" I sighed again. "He's not dating them at the moment, guys. My boyfriend isn't cheating on me. Chill."

"Yeah!" Will said. "That was before Nico even knew about me."

"You knew about me, though?" I asked. I'm pretty sure that's what he was implying.

"Nico, please. You're you. Of course I noticed you." He replied, kissing my forehead.

"But, Nico." Percy said again. It's as if he's trying to break us up. "Will's broken people's hearts before. How do you know he won't break yours?"

I just stared at him for a moment. Will opens his mouth to speak, but closes it again. Over and over again, before finally speaking. "Dude, what the actual Hades? I'm not going to break up with Nico."

"So you're going to marry him?" Jason raised an eyebrow. Will blushed and stammered before standing up and walking into my cabin's bathroom. He stayed in there for about half an hour, giving me plenty of time to yell at my 'friends' about why in Hades' Helm they would do that.

"We want to make sure he's right for you." Percy said.

"Um, don't put me into this." Jason said. "I'm doing this to prove to Percy that he's perfect."

"Either way," I growled. "You guys need to shut up for once."

Will walked out of my bathroom looking much calmer than when he went in. When he's stressed, he lays on the floor and does yoga. Mostly corpse pose and child's pose, but really anything that lets him lie on the ground and calm down. He doesn't trust people to be around him when he's vulnerable, so I put a yoga mat in my bathroom so he can go there when he needs to. I mean, he trusts me, but these people come over uninvited all the time. And question Will's commitment. Stay in your lane, Percy. (My inner emo is kicking in.)

Will, only a few steps out of the bathroom, stops and looks at Percy. "Stay in your lane, boy." Oh my gods. This is why I'm in love with him.

"Hey, Neeks? Will asks me, his arm wrapped around my chest. Yes, I'm a little spoon, and if you tell anyone, I will make sure you never have the chance to tell again. Because you'll be dead. Just so that's clear.

"Yeah?" I respond, concerned at his anxious tone.

"You know I'm not going to leave you, right?" His voice sounds so tiny. I turn around to face him.

"Will, I know you're never going to leave me. I love you. I love you more than life itself, and I know you feel the same way about me. And don't worry." I say, putting my arms around his shoulders. "I won't let you get away from me."
