This was a spur of the moment piece, and I just thought of the idea earlier today and had to write something for it. Hope you like it!
"Uhhhh," Will stuttered, "I-I can't date you Drew."
He stood backed into a corner in the infirmary, a certain makeup caked daughter of Aphrodite stalking closer to him. She had given up on Jason and begun to pursue Will. Now he spent his days avoiding her, but he was almost constantly in the infirmary, so Drew went looking for her there.
"Why not?" Drew asked, a slightly angry tone to her voice. "You do find me pretty right?"
She batted her eyes and smiled widely, but this just made Will want to gag. Why was she going after him? Surely there were enough pretty boys in camp for her to use as her boy toys. Yet here she was, after him instead.
"Well, I guess you are… it's just that I can't date you becaaaause…" Will started, attempting to think of an excuse.
Whether luck was on his side or not, this was the moment Nico di Angelo walked through the doors of the infirmary. He had gotten a haircut since the war had ended, leaving it short enough that it stayed out of his eyes. With that he had worn lighter clothes for the hot summer season, with black shorts and sneakers. For some reason however, he donned a shirt that was a deep shade of navy blue.
Will pushed past Drew and over to Nico, wrapping his arm around the small son of Hades. Nico glared up at him but didn't say a word.
"Because I'm dating Nico!" Will blurted.
"You're what?" Drew shrieked.
"I'm with Barbie Bimbo on this one," Nico said, surprised as well, "You're what now?"
"Just roll with it," Will whispered to Nico, "Please."
"Fine but you owe me," Nico mumbled.
"How the hell did you two end up together? You're polar opposites," Drew said.
"Well you know what they say: opposites attract," Will answered.
"Still…" Drew said skeptically.
"You want to really sell it?" Nico asked softly.
"What?" Will asked, turn his gaze to the Italian boy at his side.
Nico took the sides of Will's face into his hands and pressed his lips to the son of Apollo's. They were unexpected and softer than Will would've guessed. His arms drifted to Nico's waist, and Nico's drifted to Will's neck. Will was so lost in the kiss he barely registered Drew screaming in frustration and stomping out of the infirmary, slamming the door on her way out.
Nico was the first to pull away, and Will stood there, his thoughts slightly clouded and his lips still tingling.
The dark haired boy stood in front of him smirking, "You know you're not such a bad kisser."
"Neither are you," Will answered.
"So why was that display necessary?" Nico asked.
"Drew's been after me for about a week now. She wouldn't leave me alone," Will explained.
Nico's gaze darkened, "So you pretended to be gay."
"No- it's not like that," Will said quickly.
"So you are gay?" Nico tried to sum up.
"No, not completely," Will said.
"Come on Solace, make up your mind," Nico said impatiently.
"I'm bi," Will answered.
"Alright," Nico said.
"Alright what?" Will asked.
"Alright, then you can use me as an excuse to keep away from Drew. But only Drew," Nico said, "And can heal me now?"
"What?" Will asked, thoroughly confused.
Nico pointed down to his leg, where there was blood dripped from a soaked strip of cloth hastily tied around a large slash. Little droplets of blood formed a trail where Nico walked, including a small puddle where he now stood.
"Oh!" Will exclaimed, "Of course, sit down."
He gestured to one of the many open cots since there were currently no occupants, and Nico took a seat while Will set to work, cleaning, stitching, and bandaging. No matter what he did however, he couldn't stop thinking of the way he felt when Nico's lips touched his. His gaze constantly drifted up to the lips he kept thinking about.
"Hey Nico?" he asked.
"Hm?" Nico said, tilting his head to look at Will.
"You wouldn't happen to want to go out for coffee sometime would you?" Will questioned nervously.
"I thought you'd never ask Sunshine," Nico responded, smiling, "I'd love to."
I thought for once I should have confident Nico and nervous Will. Any one shot ideas?
