Nico is not a touchy feely person, physically and mentally. It's always been that way, him feeling emmotion, then being repulsed by it, in turn making him hate himself all over again. The cycle never ends.
"If you don't use your voice, you're halfway in Asphodel already."
No one can tell if Nico and Will love or hate eachother, because they bicker like crazy all the time. But maybe exactly that will help them both to fight their inner demons and to speak up again...
This is my first fanfiction ever and English isn't even my first language so don't judge please also description writing sucks goodbye
