✨Small Things✨

Nervous Fluff 2

The words seemed foreign to Nico. Make out. Him. Nico Di Angelo. And Will Solace.

But the son of Apollo took the offer. He laughed, happily, leaning down to bump noses with Nico before tugging on his belt loops. Lips crashed, a hand firmly placed itself at the back of Nico's neck, and the other intertwined ten fingers together- five from the boy of darkness, five from the boy of sunshine.

A clawing happiness made Nico smile uncontrollably through the kiss, and Will smiled also, and Nico snaked his arms around the other boy's waist, and Will closed his eyes and gave the tiniest breath of air.

And after a while of kissing, they rested, standing, hands woven firmly together, tight at their sides, rooted in a kiss, foreheads leaning into each other, unmoving, eyes closed, smiles on their faces.

"We really almost messed that up," Will murmured, barely. Nothing else except his lips moved.

Nico laughed. He was giddy, high on life, high on sunshine-

"I told you," he whispered back. "Not to go to my cabin. It's cursed."

Will snorted softly. He thought about it.

They stayed motionless, again, for another while.

"Well," Will said, at last. "We should test that theory out again sometime."

<Infinite POV>

Will slept in the Hades cabin tonight.

"The harpies will bite my face off." Will complained.

"Besides, there is no one here but you, Death Boy, and I need to keep you company." Will countered.

"B-b-but..." Nico stumbled over the words.

"Doctor's Orders." Will replied firmly, then jumped in the bed beside Nico.

"And since we're dating now-" Will started, looking up at the chandelier with a slight glow.

"Dating?!" Nico exclaimed, shocked by the kiss and the words as well as the warmth and the truth of it all.

"Hold on. Let me get this straight. You, the Sunshine-happy, likes me, the..." Nico fumbled again over the words..."Death boy?"

"Yes, I like you," Will leaned in close to Nico's face, almost touching, when Nico instinctively leaned in for a kiss. Will turned golden bright for a moment, reflecting happiness and joy and everything that was good that it, well,

It made Nico smile.

It was the first time in three years Nico smiled.

And it was all because if that charming adorkable Apollo kid, Will.

"Death boy." Will finished, pulling away from the kiss and settling down next to Nico in his coffin-shaped bed.
