Healing- Solangelo ~ Sequel To People

38: Conversation

"Will! Help me!" Natalie sat up and grabbed on to Will's arm as he walked by. Will tore his arm away the moment he could.

"Don't touch me." Will spat. He walked out of there as fast as he could, not caring nor wanting to hear whatever she might say in response. Nico was close behind him, taking his hand as they walked to the mess hall. Lunch, of course. Will didn't always actually go to lunch and eat, but he had to be out of there.

"Your table or mine?" Nico asked him. The two were free to go to either at this point-doctor's orders, Nico needed to be able to sit at a full or empty table, or spooky stuff would start happening. Chiron recognized that they could argue about this forever and just let them do it.

"Yours, I'd like a mini-date. And I've been around my family all day, I don't want more of that. Yeah?"

"Sounds good, sunshine." Nico gladly sat down at the Hades table, always more for a smaller group. They sat down, quickly got back up for the sacrifice-or whatever it was called-to the Gods, and then sat down yet again.

They both went silent for a good while. Peaceful.

"I'm sorry about Natalie, that she's back and bothering you. And, once again, I'm sorry about the whole memory debacle." Nico mentioned. Of course, the subject went right back to that mess and Natalie. Will hated that.

"It's whatever. She's exhausting to be around and all, and she seems to like bringing old shit up, but whatever. And I've forgiven you for that, babe." Will made sure to hold onto Nico's hand as they ate. He always wanted to be holding onto Nico in some way.

They were quiet again. Nico hated the silence.

"I, uh, heard that you got with her. You know, in that way." Nico told him. Will seemed to freeze up, and for once, he let go of Nico's hand.

"Yeah, like two years ago. Or something. Who told you that?"

"I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. I just thought we could talk about that? We haven't had any sort of conversation about... That... And I'm almost of age and all, I just think we could have that conversation?" Nico suggested. Will, obviously, didn't like the idea.

"Nico, I don't think... Hi Luna!" Will changed the subject the moment the shadowy cat hopped up on the table. Nico looked kind of hurt by that, and Will knew that, but he just couldn't. 

A/n Nico just wants a convo about fucking, okay, like any good teen should have with his boyf, come on Will it's not that hard

let's play a game of "guess why Will can't talk about it" !
