A/N: Alright, my readers. I decided to keep this going as long as you wish. On that note, here's the next chapter.

Enjoy!

Hazel woke Nico up, "Wake up. It's morning."

"I hate mornings." Nico mumbled into his pillow.

Hazel chuckled and stood there until he got out of bed. Nico slowly got up and Hazel turned to claim dibs on the bathroom.

"Hey, Hazel?"

"Yeah?"

"I just want you to know that I hate you for spilling my secret."

"You can't stay mad at me forever."

"I also love you for it."

"See? That didn't take you long."

Will woke up smiling brighter than he ever had. He opened the cabin door and walked down to the dining pavilion and sat at the Apollo table. He looked at the Hades table where Hazel and a very sleepy Nico were sitting. Nico looked at him and smiled.

Well that definitely confirms what happened yesterday.

He excused himself and sat with Hazel and Nico.

"I still hate you, Hazel."

"Oh come on, brother. You can't be mad at me forever."

Will sat next to Hazel, across from Nico and whispered to Hazel, "Thank you."

Hazel smiled and responded, "You're welcome."

Nico yawned and laid his head on the table, saying, "Wake me up when it's food time."

Will raised an eyebrow and asked, "He really likes sleep, huh?"

Hazel answered, "Oh yeah. You should share a cabin with him. He snores like a grizzly bear."

Will chuckled, "At least you only have one roommate."

"This is true."

Chiron arrived and announced, "Good morning, campers. I see it looks like everyone is here, though not everyone is awake..."

Hazel nudged Nico and he shot up.

"Ah. So glad you could join the land of the living, Nico. Now, we all have our schedules to keep so enjoy your breakfast." Chiron stated and walked back to the Big House.

A bagel sandwich with egg, bacon and cheese appeared on Will's plate with a glass of orange juice and he began eating.

"So..." Will started.

"Yes?" Nico asked.

"How are we gonna go about this?"

"Dunno yet. Talk later."

Will knew not to push the matters any further. He knew Nico came from a time where gays were treated like garbage, implying that Nico would need some time to adjust.

Later, Nico sat on the roof, humming a lullaby his mother used to sing to him.

Will joined him up there and asked, "What are you humming? It sounds delightful."

"An Italian lullaby."

"Sing it for me?"

Nico blushed and said, "Uh, sure."

"Dormi, dormi, dormi, o bel babin
Re divin, re divin.
Fa la nanna, o fantolino
Re divin, re divin
Fa la nano, o fantolino

Fa la la la, fa la la la

Perche piangi, o mio tresor?
Dolce amor, dolce amor!
Fa la nanna, o caro figlio
Tanto bel, tanto bel
Fa la nanna, o caro figlio."

Will just stared at Nico in awe. He had a beautiful singing voice and the Italian lyrics just sounded amazing.

Nico asked, "What?"

"You have an amazing singing voice."

"T-Thanks."

"So what does that song mean?"

"Basically to sleep well, my son. Mom used to sing it to me when I would get nightmares; worked every time."

Piper was sitting on the beach, the breeze blowing her hair every which direction. She stared out to the sea. It was relaxing to her to just watch the waves come up and down the coast.

Jason sat next to her and asked, "Everything alright, Pipes?"

Piper looked at her boyfriend and answered, "Yeah. Just needed to step away from everything and enjoy nature."

"I understand that." Jason smiled.

Piper leaned into her boyfriend and they just held each other in silence, staring out into the distance.

Will was in the archery field, making sure the newer campers were doing everything correctly. He was in a daze and Kayla knew it.

"Earth to Will, come in Will." Kayla said with a smirk.

"Oh hey."

"So I take it good news?"

Will smiled and answered, "We kissed yesterday."

Kayla high-fived her half brother and said, "Congratulations."

"Thanks. We are supposed to talk about it later."

"Well good luck with that."

Will just nodded and continued to watch. His mind was else where. He had no idea how to continue this... whatever he had with Nico. He knew that he wanted it to continue. Will had feelings for Nico and he knew that as soon as he saw him. There was something about him that intrigued Will, but for the life of him, he just couldn't pin point what it was.

Hazel came up to him and said, "I've got a message for you."

"Yes?"

"Meet at the big oak tree in the forest in a half hour."

"The one with everyone's initials carved into it?"

"That's the one."

"Thank you, Hazel."

"No problem. Just promise me one thing?"

"Sure."

"Don't hurt him. He's been through a lot and deserves some happiness."

"I promise."

Nico kicked the dirt at his feet by the oak tree. The butterflies in his stomach were back and he had to take deep breaths to calm down some.

We kissed yesterday.

Nico still couldn't believe it. He could almost still feel the sensation of Will's lips against his.

A voice behind him said, "Hey."

Nico turned and there he was. He came closer and Nico felt like he was going to throw up.

"So, what's next?" Nico asked and sat down, hoping that would calm down his nerves.

Will sat next to him and answered, "I'm not sure. I mean, I want to date you, if that's okay, but I also know that during your childhood, us would have been against everyone's beliefs."

"You are right about that."

"We could date secretly, gradually start spending more time together, to keep suspicion down. I'm not going to pressure you into anything."

"I appreciate that and yeah. That sounds good. Hazel and Piper already know, but I think our secret is safe with them."

Will took Nico's hand in his and just held it. Nico was sure Will could pick up on his nervousness, but at that moment, he didn't care.

A/N: I really like that Italian lullaby. It's kinda soothing to listen to. Please review :) I love reading the reviews
