Nico always complained about Jason and Percy being taller than him.
It sucked when Will Solace became his personal healthcare companion/ buddy/ best friend. He too was taller than Nico, and it was a constant reminder that he was short when Will rested his elbow on his shoulder without even having to look.
But for some reason this didn't aggravate Nico. Sure it reminded him of his short height, but he enjoyed the physical contact, never mind his aversion to it.
When Nico and Will had started dating (finally!), Nico found yet another reason to love Will's height.
Their favourite position wouldn't have existed without Will's height, really. Will would wrap his arms around Nico's waist, rest his chin on Nico's head and whisper I love yous to the boy. Nico, in turn, would envelope as much as he could of Will's hands with his own, and lean his head back so that it would fit under Will's head.
This allowed him to hear and feel Will's heartbeat, which soon became one of his favourite sounds. It made him feel safe and loved and cherished. This posture not only made them feel happy, this was another reason for Jason and Percy become fan girls and gush while Piper would become great aunt Marge and start sniffing silently.
It wouldn't be very hard to find out whether Will had been sneaking after curfew into Nico's Cabin.
The next morning, the son of Hades would be adorably- I dare say- freakingly cute with his messy bed head and one of Will's over-sized sweaters or shirts. They would legit be swallowing his body and be too big for him, but he would be content and casual. He rarely wore any other clothes other than Will's "accidentally left it at Nico's last time I went there" but everyone knew that those were the underlying words that meant Will had spent the night with the son of Hades.
The first time Will was out questing/gone home for the holidays, Nico had missed him so much that he had lived in Will's bunk, wore Will's clothes, and followed Will's time scheldule. He even learned a thing or two about helming from the other kids. At night time, Nico would make a canopy and IM Will till late into the night, telling him about his day and asking how his day was.
It was a reason for everyone to love Will's height.
Whenever Nico wanted to avoid interaction with other Campers, all he had to do was latch himself on to Will in a playful mood, and the son of Apollo would take him on piggyback rides. Not that it wasn't fun, he loved how the gorgeous blue eyes were fixed on him and only him; he enjoyed the attention and love showered on him and never wanted it to go away. When Will got exhausted from carrying him around, he would plop down under a shady tree, panting and laughing with Nico.
Nico would lie down next to him, and when their laughs would die down, they'd hold hands and watch the clouds move and the sun hide. They'd talk till Will would roll over on top of Nico, faces barely inches apart, and whisper silent proclamations of love that they'd only ever tell each other.
