I was bored this is just a quick little something. I don't know if there'll be more to it or not. I just wanted to play around with these guys a bit before work today.
I don't own PJO or HOO.
This was inspired by a little text thing on tumblr which was: "You're smiling your lying." "I"m not lying you make me nervous."
"How does it feel now?" Will asked adjusting the sling around Nico's neck. He stepped back to admire his handy work. "Better?" Still hovering closely to Nico's side and fiddling with one of the straps. His breath hitting the brunette's neck in soft waves.
With a grimace Nico nodded. "Better." He gave a toothy grin to Will, his face growing warm.
"No it's not." Will crossed his arms and sighed. "So what's still hurting?"
"Nothing is hurting Will." Nico gave back. The smile darkening back to his usual expression.
"You were smiling, you've got to be lying." Will pointed out crossing his arms and looking down pointedly at his friend. "So what is it." He leaned in his blue eyes studying him.
"Uh, Its. Nothing." Nico's lips betrayed him and perked up in the corners.
"You're smiling! You've got to be lying!" Will gave leaning back.
"I'm smiling because you make me nervous!" Nico shot back, then let out a hiss of pain at the way it jostled his arm. "Curse it all!" He gripped the painful appendage and tried to rub the pain out and away. Then he thought about what he'd just said to the Healer and how quiet it had suddenly gotten.
"I make you nervous?" Will's voice almost sounded hurt and pained and Nico realized he would have to face him and he nodded very slowly. "W-Why do I make you nervous?"
Nico's face reddened. Great, perfect, and not how he wanted to have to admit to Solace. Mister Sunshine and blue eyes how he felt about him. "Dei sentimenti per te." Gods saying it in Italian didn't make it much better, but least he said it. Nico tried to hop off the table and leave, but Will stopped him.
"I took Spanish for my language this year Nico, I don't speak any Italian. So if you wanna say something to me. You need to say it for me to understand." Will's voice was colder than normal and Nico realized the healer wasn't angry, he was confused and still feeling hurt.
Swallowing the last of his pride and figuring that this was the last time Will would be this close to him without it being awkward. Nico sighed. "I have feelings for you. Romantic ones."
"Oh." Will blinked. "Oh!" His face reddened and he begun to laugh. "Sorry, I don't mean to laugh! That's really sweet and I'm like. I've never...Well I've thought about it. Like I like you a lot to Nico, but I've never been with a guy or really I don't see how it'd be any different." Nico raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"
"You're okay with me liking you?" Nico asked, his voice staying practically a whisper.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be? I mean it's not like there's anything wrong with you liking me or guys in general." Will shrugged.
"Then, what about you? H-How do you feel about me?" Nico turned standing up a little straighter and looking Will in the eye.
"I don't know yet, but if you wanna go on a few dates or just hang out more, I'm pretty sure I could get an idea Death Boy." Will ruffled Nico's hair and with an eye roll Nico swatted his hand away.
"Fine. Where or what would you wanna do?" Nico asked.
"I'm off Infirmary duty at Six tonight. I'll think of something." Will gave a small salute and Nico rolled his eyes returning it before leaving.
"Holy Styx...I have a date." Nico blinked a few times staring out over Camp as he left the big house. His cheeks burned a bit, but wow, he was starting to think Solace's smile was infectious cause he couldn't get rid of the expression all day.
