Will

When you have a moment, want to join me for a picnic?

Will showed up at the Hades’ cabin door with a blanket tucked haphazardly under his arm, a basket in his other hand. He looked like he had searched up picnic and grabbed what seemed right. He knocked on the door with his arm that held the blanket.

Nico waited for Will for a few minutes in the cabin while he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a black shirt with one button undone and black jeans in the bottom. He didn't know if it was appropriate for the situation, but he wanted to wear something he felt comfortable with.

“Of course I care. I love you,” Will replied, kissing his cheek in return before glancing around. They acted like they were searching for a spot they had already decided on but were actually trying to decide.

"I love you too," he responded, starting to walk by Will. Nico thought about how the atmosphere was good that day. He also thought about how much spending time together and without any other person around was good. Usually, they don't have much time to spend just the both of them without having someone asking for help in anything.

Will placed the basket down, looking away sheepishly, “ I did! Most of it.. a bit of it. “ The look softened into one of safety quickly as he felt Nico’s hands. It was nice to not to be busy, to not feel like he had to take on other people’s stuff when that’s not what they needed. He was still learning to stop that but it was moments like this he felt he could stop.

That was!

Where are you?

”Nico, what happened?” Will asked, holding him gently. She barely touches him, scared to hurt him further. The sight of Nico like this made her feel ill. She had seen him in hurt states before but it would always send her into panic no matter how many times she saw it.

"I don't know," he said, closing his eyes. "It's internal. I'm not bleeding," Nico explained, his voice barely coming out.

“Nonsense? Can you describe any of it? I know that might be hard if it isn’t understandable..” Will asked quietly. They narrowed their eyes, fear rushing to their brain.

“I will. I’d never leave you,” Will hugged him back, running a hand through the other’s hair. He trusted Nico’s knowledge and wanted to do his best to be a support pillar.

"She was going to marry the love of her life," he murmured, holding Will tighter. "It's as if a car were driving over my body," he knew it was temporary. The dead could be really mean when it comes to punishments for not making them alive again.

“Oh..” Will let out a soft gasp, her eyes softening with sadness, “that’s .. I see why that would hurt.” She felt her throat tighten a bit as she stood, offering a hand to help Nico up.

Will guided him like it was natural, like Nico was part of him, “okay, that works.” He glanced at the other cabins, considering his next words.

"Thank you," it sounded so honest even Nico couldn't believe it. He was really thankful for Will not forcing him into doing anything. It was just the both of them and no one more.

“Do you think it’s significant?” Will asked, sitting on his knees. He laid a hand on Nico’s shoulder, rubbing small circles.

"Just stay here, it'll pass," Nico said, turning his front to his boyfriend and holding their hand.

”Of course. I’ll be quick,” Will said as she got up, kissing Nico’s head. Her face flushed ever so slightly like she had just done something outrageous. Everything always felt so much more important with Nico.

Nico almost didn't feel the kiss his boyfriend gave on his head. His body was almost disintegrating while tingling.

”Of course, it would be wrong not to help,” Will leaned in, offering support as Nico tilted his head. He sighed softly, face softening as he looked at him.

"Me too, I'll always be here for you too," he said. The warmth of the ambrosia spread through his body, making him feel a wave of comfort. Will was helping with that, too.

“You’re not embarrassing yourself. I wouldn’t mind at all,” Will assured him quickly as they got up. They moved to be next to Nico, shifting so they could lay down.

Nico got a bit closer. He was so hesitant to make a "first move", even if it consisted of just giving his boyfriend a hug. 'Couples do this, right?', he thought, but still not able to do anything more. Just staying by their side was great.

“I don’t need too..” Will began to speak but his mind raced with thoughts. It wouldn’t be normal to say, ‘it does feel like I need too. It always does. I love you and i don’t know what I’d do without you or my friends.’ So, he didn’t say that.

"Okay... Okay. You are right," he accepted his boyfriend's words. How could he not accept, though? Will was being so sweet.

”Yeah..” Will said softly, words getting caught in her throat, “I’ll rest.” She leaned into the touch ever so slightly, a silly grin taking over her face.

"It is not weird at all," he said. It was like everything was just right when he was with Will. He felt amazed by their words. He didn't feel like he deserved all that, but Will makes him feel like he does.

Will doesn’t answer at first, almost seeming like his thoughts had carried him to a distant land. There was something comforting about the words. Something he didn’t want to think about much. It made his heart sink, to be seen.

"Yes, you have to listen more to me," he said with a little pout, pretending to be mad. "But it's okay, I know you just want to help people. I just don't want to see you this," he paused, touching the tip of their nose with his index finger, "-tired."

“Sleep sounds good,” Will said, closing his eyes like he’d immediately drift off. A smile spread across his face, resisting a giggle. It felt silly but he couldn’t help it.

"Why are you like that?", he said, laughing. "If you don't sleep, I won't sleep too. That's how it works."

“it’s okay, I’m sleeping,” Will replied as if it was a promise, leaning into him as he initiated a hug. In the back of their mind, they wished they could stay like this forever.
