"Nico? Are you in there?" Will called softly, "Are you awake?"
A quiet groan came out in response, which Will took as "Yeah, come in."
"Baby? It's pretty late in the day, why are you still in bed?" Will questioned. He saw Nico shift slightly in a bed.
"Tired." Nico responded. Though, there had to be more to it than that.
"Can I sit by you?" Nico moved over, making room for Will. Will sat down criss-cross, looking at his sleepy boyfriend.
"I'm fine." Nico told him.
"It's okay if you're not, honey. You can talk to me. Do you need food or anything?" Will rubbed Nico's back gently, a concerned look on his face.
"I'm just... Sad. I don't need anything." Nico answered.
"Why are you sad, love? How can I help that?" Will asked. Nico rolled over, looking at Will with blood-shot eyes.
"It's... It's Bianca's death day. I can't stop thinking about her. I don't feel like getting out of bed."
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry. Do you need... A hug? Or something? How can I help you feel better?"
"A hug sounds nice. I just keeping thinking about Bianca, and how... How fucked my pre-teen years were, really." Nico chuckled kind of sadly, sitting up to hug Will tight.
"As a son of the god of prophecy, I feeling like I have to tell you... Try and not think about the past all that much? I know that isn't amazing advice..."
"It's okay, Will. Just stay with me? And cuddle me. Hold me." Nico leaned against Will, sat up in the bed.
"You aren't usually the one to ask for cuddles." Will noticed.
"I'm sad." Nico defended.
"I know, I know. That's alright. Whatever you want. Just like when I'm sad." Will squished against Nico as much as he could, arm around him. Nico rested his head against Will's shoulder, sitting in silence for a moment.
"Talk. I can't take the silence while you're in here." Nico told him.
"Oh yeah I'm sorry. A good few people asked where you were, babe. I remember when you thought everyone at camp hated you or didn't notice you."
"And then you noticed me and forced me to hang out with you, you dork."
"Hey, that was in the name of LOVE. Because I love you. So much." Will gave Nico a peck on the cheek, getting a smile out of him.
"I love you too. Thank you, mio angelo. You're a good significant annoyance."
"That's... My angel, right? In Italian?"
"Exactly. See, you're learning a whole new language, slowly."
"One pet name at a time."
