Will was cleaning up Nico’s bed when he heard the door open and close.
“Nico?” He said. “How did it-“
He was cut off by the son of Hades enveloping him in a huge hug.
“Um… Nico?”
“Lou said something…” Nico began.
“Hmm? What did she say?” If she had betrayed Will’s trust again by telling Nico…
“She said… that she wanted someone to look at her… like you looked at me.”
“Oh.” Was all Will could say. Was he that obvious with the staring?
“Will… does that mean that… um…” Nico seemed unable to finish his sentence. But Will understood what he meant.
Will blushed. “Well… yeah… I guess…”
He was surprised with Nico holding him closer. “Um… Nico?”
The younger boy looked up. “Willyougoonadatewithme?”
Will stared at Nico for a moment. “Yep,” he squeaked.
Nico relaxed, though his face was a bright red. He let go of Will. “Well, that was anticlimactic,” he said quietly.
Will couldn’t help it. He burst out laughing. Soon, Nico joined in.
By the end of the day, a very worried looking Jason found them giggling on the floor like a pair of lunatics.
—————————–
Crap, Nico thought. He was in his cabin, preparing for his date.
With Will Solace.
He was hyperventilating.
They had agreed to meet at the canoe lake at 6, then maybe just chat for a while.
Nico knew that he would be more than awkward.
His eyes darted around his room, trying to find a suitable shirt, seeing as he practically only wore black skinny jeans. But he had a huge amount of shirts. He guessed it was what happened when people didn’t know what you wanted for your birthday.
Nico sighed. Will would probably be looking amazing. He then cleared his throat and reached for a random shirt.
He slipped it over his head and sat down by a desk that was in his room. It didn’t really match the colour scheme of the room, being beige, but it was useful when he wanted to write or draw.
He slumped against the desk.
But that was when he heard the knocking on his door. The colour drained from his face.
He walked over and pulled it open, breathing deeply. He was about to start speaking, but Cecil spoke first.
“I heard you’re going on a date with my best friend.” He said flatly.
Nico’s eyes widened and he blushed. “…yes?” He said questioningly.
Cecil stared at him for a moment. “Then we need to talk.”
He walked in, lacking any expression.
Basically, he wasn’t acting himself.
Nico frowned. “Are you okay, Cecil?”
“Like I said, we need to talk.”
“O-okay…” needless to say, Nico was shocked from the lack of warmth Cecil showed.
The said boy breathed in deeply, and began.
“Nico, I know you’re an awesome person. You tried to find Leo. You shadow-travelled the Athena Parthenos half way across the world. You’ve almost died fighting for the gods. Twice. You’ve been on multiple quests, always coming back successful-” when Nico tried to interrupt, he just held up a hand “- and you’re very loyal to this camp. Will is practically smitten with you, though I doubt he’ll tell you that during your first date, in fear of scaring you off.” Cecil looked up. “So, if you decide to muddle with his emotions, make him wonder why he fell in love with you, I swear on all the gods that Lou Ellen and I will make sure you have the most painful time of your-“
“I get it,” Nico smiled. A true, genuine smile. “I have a feeling that Percy and Jason are scaring Will crapless at the moment.”
Cecil grinned. “Since you get my point, I guess the only thing to say is… have fun?”
Nico nodded. “Thanks, Cecil.”
The son of Hermes gave him a two-fingered salute and exited the cabin.
