Since getting out of the infirmary, Nico and Will had somehow managed to spend more time together. It was always with other people around and it was totally platonic. Almost.

Sometimes they would hang out with all the couples. Annabeth and Percy would sit cuddled up together, Leo and calypso would be next to each other, usually intertwined in some way and Piper would always sit in front of Jason, between his legs with his arms around her. The first time this happened, Will and Nico sat on opposite sides of the group. The second, they were next to each other, but not even close to touching. The last time they sat right next to each other, shoulders touching. Percy and Jason spent the whole time exchanging very unsubtle knowing looks.

They also spent a lot of time in the Apollo cabin. Will's siblings had accepted Nico with open arms, talking to him and most of them being extremely friendly. All the Apollo kids liked Will and even the most clueless could see how much Nico meant to him.

So it came that Nico and Will were walking towards the Apollo cabin after lunch when Will made a Ferris Bueller reference. Nico, having not seen the movie, didn't get the reference.

"Oh my Gods! Have you never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off?!" Will practically screamed.

"Will," Nico sighed, this had happened a lot so far. "I was trapped in a casino for decades, so no, I haven't seen that movie."

"But that's the best movie of all time. You have a TV in your room, right?" Will asked, not even bothering to wait for an answer. "I'm going to get that movie and we'll watch it tonight. Okay?"

Nico was left a little bit speechless. Will had already run off in his happy frenzy, so Nico was just left standing there, confused. He guesses he had no choice so he decides to go back to his room and tidy up a bit.

As soon as he got into his room he realized the issue. His cabin still wasn't remodelled, so it was ridiculously dark and vampire like. There was also only two beds and a sofa, and the TV of course. It was also a mess.

Nico didn't get many guests, so his cabin was always a mess, Of course, people came into his cabin occasionally, but due to the placement of the walls in the hades cabin, he could effectively hide his mess. If an actual boy was going to be like, in in his actual room, and that boy was Will Solace, he was going to need to tidy up. And that was going to take a while.

By the time the cabin was clear, Nico only had around ten minutes to get himself ready before Will was going to arrive. He hopped in the shower and then put on his favourite black shirt and black jeans, obviously. He certainly didn't have time to worry about the fact that it was just going to be him and Will in the cabin, on the same sofa, watching the same movie together, like a date. He definitely didn't have time to worry about what that meant. Which was lucky, because that would have caused Nico to freak out more than he already had.

Will knocked on the door just as Nico was rearranging the sofa to properly face the TV. He opened the door to a ridiculous grin on the blond boy's face.

"What Solace? Actually, I don't want to know, just come in."

"I was just going to say that you look very nice, death boy, but since you don't want my compliments, here."

Nico blushed and took the movie from Will's hand. "Thanks," He said, sheepishly.

"So, where are we sitting?" Will asked, revelling in his ability to make Nico blush, but actually a little nervous if he was honest.

Nico gestured to the sofa and went to sort out the movie. When he got it working, he turned to sit down, only to find that Will was sitting in the centre of the sofa, preventing Nico from sitting any further from a foot away from him. He sat on his left and curled up a little bit. He had put blankets out on the arms of the seat in case they had gotten cold. Right now, Nico wasn't cold but he needed comfort, so he grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around himself. He didn't realize it but he started to relax as the movie went on and by the time that Cameron was calling the principal in the movie he was leaning against Will's arm.

Nico may not have noticed, but Will certainly had. He was debating whether or not to lift his arm and wrap it around Nico's shoulders. He knew that Nico was very uncomfortable with physical contact but over the past few days Nico had continually gotten closer to him. Will never pushed it, never initiated the closeness, because he didn't want to scare Nico off.

Finally, he decided that it was now or never. He lifted his arm a bit and shifted it so that it was almost behind Nico, trailing along the back of the sofa. At first Nico tensed, then he relaxed into Will's arm. He was trying his absolute best to hide his blushing. The movie was good, but Nico was having a hard time concentrating and Will was so warm that he started falling asleep.

Will didn't realise that Nico was asleep until the movie ended, and he turned to ask if he'd enjoyed it. He was a little bit upset that he hadn't watched the movie, but then realised that it was probably a big step for Nico to feel comfortable enough to fall asleep in his arms. He gently laid down Nico's head and pulled the blanket over him, hoping that it wouldn't be too cold.

If he left now the harpies would get him, so he decided to sleep on the bed that he knew wasn't Nico's. He fell asleep to the sound of Nico's calm breathing.

Oh heyyy, this is the longest chapter yet. I hope you enjoyed this, and if you've never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off you need to watch that at your earliest convenience. Best. Movie. Ever. Anyway, this was tooth rottingly cute. It honestly annoying how cute Solangelo is.

The next one is gonna be Will asking out Nico, but it will probably be a short one.
