Will definitely hadn't expected Nico to react so calmly to Leo's comment.

He assumed that it was because he was so close to Hazel, Nico's sister. But maybe it wasn't, maybe Nico was just sick of arguing back.

Nico and Will had become quite close before the war - well as close as one could get to Nico - because they had bonded.

Bonded over their love for Percy: a bright eyed, kindhearted beauty.

They bonded over admiring from afar, both understanding they'd never stand a chance with him.

Not because he was straight - he definitely wasn't - but because he was older, more experienced out there in the world.

Because he was Percy fucking Jackson.

They both wanted him, but they both felt like they could never have him.

Maybe if they tried hard enough, they could.
