I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UPDATING FOR 2365934754389682827 YEARS I AM SO SORRY I HAVE JUST BEEN SO BUSY WITH SCHOOL AND SHIT AND YEAH I AM SORRY

Just like he had promised, Will woke up as the sun was rising. It was beautiful. All the colors spread across the sky as if someone had taken a paint brush with red, orange, yellow, and pink and just smeared it all over. He tried to sit up, but something was blocking him. Er, someone. Nico lay, snoring ever so slightly, on Will's chest. As much as Will just wanted to let the peaceful boy sleep, they had to get back to their cabins. He gently placed his hands on Nico's shoulders and shook.

"Hey, Nico," Will whispered next to Nico's ear. His eyes slowly opened, his dark lashes fluttering.

"Wh-where-" Nico began to say. He turned his head and saw that he had been sleeping on Will's chest. Flustered, he quickly pushed himself off of Will and stood up.

"Sorry," he muttered. Grinning, Will got up.

"It's ok. Right now, it's approximately 6:30 in the morning, so we should probably begin heading back." Nico nodded and they both began walking side by side back to their cabins.

For a while, they walked in silence.

"So," Will said, finally breaking the silence.

"So, what?" Nico said, grateful for some conversation because sometimes, quiet is violent and he had been trying to find something to say for a while.

"So, what did you think? Of the cave, I mean."

"Um, it was pretty cool. A really nice view," Nico said, although he wasn't just talking about the cave.

Will nodded. "So, what classes are you going to take?"

"Probably sword fighting. I need to get better at that."

"Hm. You should try archery. You'd be good at it."

"What makes you think I would be any good?"

"Your hands. Your fingers are pretty long and nimble. I can sign you up for my class if you want."

The thought made Nico really excited, and really nervous at the same time. "Uh, that's okay, I-"

"I'm signing you up. I've decided," stated Will, and smirk dancing on his lips.

Nico tried to act dissapointed when in reality, he couldn't wait. "Fine. But don't expect me to act excited."

"Come on. It'll be fun!" Will said.

Nico rolled his eyes.

"I promise. It will be fun," It sounded as if he was promising himself more than he was promising Nico. It sent a tingle down Nico's spine. It made Nico wonder what exactly Will had in mind, and he couldn't wait to find out.

"Okay," Nico said in a whisper.

Will jogged in front of Nico. He turned around. "Come on! They'll be waking up soon." Sighing, Nico trotted up to Will and they continued to jog to the Hades cabin. They stopped at the door. Nico turned around to face Will.

"I will see you in a few hours," said Will, and although it was phrased as a statement, it sounded a bit like a question, as if he was unsure. Nico nodded. Unexpectedly, Will grabbed Nico's hand. He looked right into his eyes, squeezed his hand for a split second, let go, and ran off to the Apollo cabin, leaving Nico in shock and blushing. His only thought as he opened the cabin door was that he hoped his hand hadn't been too sweaty. No. That was a lie. His mind was booming with thoughts about Will and archery and just about everything else. He wondered what Will was thinking. Little did he know that Will was thinking the exact same things.
