Will and Nico were on the train to to Chicago to see Will's mom. They had to make a few stops in between. They planned on staying for a day then going back to camp. Will was gonna introduce Nico and they might come out to her. Will had called her ahead of time and told her he was bringing a friend.
Nico was really nervous. Will had assured him that his mom was very nice and would probably be ok with them dating. Probably. The "probably" was what made him uncomfortable. "You ok?" The sound of Will's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Yeah. I'm fine" he lied. "No you're not." Will replied, "I know you. There's something bothering you. What is it?" Geez Nico thought he's good. "I'm just... nervous." "Hmm? About what?" Will said, leaning ever so slightly on Nico. "About meeting your mom. What if she doesn't accept.. you know,..us?" Nico said. "She probably will." Will replied. "Probably," Nico noted, "it's the probably that makes me nervous" "Ok, I'm 99% sure she'll be ok with it." "What about the other 1%? That doesn't make me feel any better!" "How do you think I feel?! It's my mom!" Will shot back, "Sorry, I guess I'm a bit nervous too..." he continued, "Hey let's not think about it right now. We still have at least 2 and a half hours. Let's try to get some sleep." "I guess you're right," Nico murmured. They curled up together, and fell asleep.
