Nico and Will

Part 4

The cabins weren't built for bad weather so of course one little rainstorm gets in and it looks like a tornado hit camp. Nico highly doubted his cabin would be fixed anytime soon. Maybe he could ask Will if he could stay with him for a few days. Nico mentally slapped himself. Stop thinking about Will. He tried to do some of the camp activities but his heart just wasn't in it and he ended up just watching the other campers. Mostly the Apollo cabin. Mostly Will.

He lost track of time until he heard the horn sound for dinner. Nico usually didn't mind sitting alone. He didn't have a choice being the only son of Hades, but now that he had actually made some friends at camp he felt lonely eating by himself. At least that's how he felt before Will came over and sat down next to him.

"Hiya Neeks I missed you today. You barely even said goodbye this morning." Nico had a hard time forming a response. Anyone who wasn't already involved in their own conversation was staring at the two of them.

"Umm aren't you supposed to be sitting with your siblings?"

"I thought my baby looked lonely sitting all by himself so I came to say hi." Nico banged his head against the table. He felt like he was going to die of embarrassment.

"Will you're not supposed to switch tables. It's against the rules." Will rolled his eyes.

"The rules are a bunch of bullshit. Percy and Annabeth sit together all the time."

"Yeah but that's...different".

"No it's not." Nico didn't want to talk about the differences between their relationship and Percy and Annabeth's and he really didn't want to argue with Will so he decided to just let it go.

"You have no idea how irritating you actually are do you?" Nico tried to look annoyed but Will smiled at him and he felt like his chest was going to explode.

"You love me and you know it." Nico tried to think of something to say to that but he couldn't. Change the subject Change the subject Change the subject

"So I guess I'm getting kicked out of my cabin for a while"

"Yeah they're opening up the infirmary for anyone who needs a place to stay....but you could always stay with me you know if you want and I'm sure the other guys won't mind." Nico smiled.

"Thanks Will you're...you're a really great friend" Will nudged him as he started to get up from the table.

"Aww Neeks you're too sweet"

Then Will did something that was probably more dangerous than any monster he'd ever fought or any illness he ever treated. He leaned down and kissed Nico on the cheek. Nico's face turned red. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but he couldn't get the words to come out. Will spoke instead.

"I guess I'll....umm...yeah see you later Nico."

Nico completely speechless watched Will turn around and sprint to the Apollo cabin.
