"Hey, Nico." Will greeted, coming up to his desk before class started. "How are you doing?"

"Normal?" Nico looked up at him in confusion. "What's up?"

Will blushed. "I was wondering…if you-"

"Nico di Angelo!" a girl ran up, her cheeks pink from flush. "My cousin just found out that we went to school together and she wants to know if I can get your autograph for her."

Nico looked at Will apologetically before turning to her. "Sure. Do you have a paper or something?"

She nodded, pulling a book from her bag and setting it in front of him, handing him a sharpie. When he was done and he looked up to continue talking to Will, he found him gone.

Nico sighed, leaning back in his seat as the bell rang. Classes went by slowly and eventually lunch came, where he ran to sit next to Will.

"Sorry about this morning." he apologized, sipping his water bottle, which was the only thing he had.

"It's fine." Will looked over at him. "I don't mind."

Nico nodded. "What were you going to ask?"

"It's nothing." Will waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Where's your food?"

"You're changing the subject." Nico commented. "What were you going to ask?"

Will sighed. "I was going to ask…if you wanted-"

"Nico, we're playing Saturday, downtown!" Percy yelled, sitting in between him and Will, shoving his phone under the Italian's nose.

Nico looked down at the screen, silently cursing Percy's timing as he read the email from his manager. "Why didn't he send it to me?"

"Because he knew you wouldn't pay attention." Will stood up angrily, stalking off with one hand on his cast.

Percy whistled. "What did you do to him?"

Nico glared at him, standing up. "This is your fault, Jackson."

He ran after Will, finally catching up to him in the hall. "Will, wait!"

Will stopped but didn't face him.

"I'm sorry! I can't help it." Nico apologized. "He just got it the way. I swear, I'm paying attention. What did you want to ask me?"

Will bit his lip, turning to face him with his shoulders slumped. "You'll actually listen?"

Nico nodded. "No matter how long it takes."

Will cracked a smile. "I was going to ask if you wanted to go out sometime."

Nico froze. "As in, on a d-date?"

Will nodded, also blushing. "You said you were my boyfriend. That means we go on dates."

Nico smiled. "Yeah. I'll go on one with you. But as you just heard, Saturday is out. Unless you count hanging backstage a date."

"We could do something on Friday and do that on Saturday?" Will offered. "I mean, if you want."

"Of course I want to." Nico exclaimed. "When and where?"

"I'll pick you up at eight." Will told him before walking off, going to his next class.

Friday couldn't come quick enough. Nico was basically bouncing with excitement at practices, not even caring to sing as the others taught Leo the beat of the songs. He was going on a date. With Will.

Will freaking Solace.

"Nico's in love." Percy sang, jabbing him in the ribs as he waited next to the door for Will.

"Shut it, Percy." Nico replied weakly, not really caring.

Percy laughed, falling onto the couch in a heap. "Don't stay out too late."

"You aren't my mother." Nico grumbled, picking at the black button down he wore.

"He was thinking more along the lines of he wants you awake for tomorrow night." Jason explained, entering the room with Leo. "That means no drinking, no sex, no eloping, no trips to Canada-"

Nico scowled. "First of all, Canada is less than an hour away. Second of all, I'm not going to do any of those things."

"Trust him." Leo spoke up. "It's Will Solace."

"And that means?" Percy asked.

Leo looked at him in a deadpan expression. "All he cares about his health and religion. There's no way you could get him to go without a seat belt while driving ten miles per hour."

Nico scowled. "That's not true."

"Sorry, but I'm right." Leo replied.

The doorbell rang, Nico standing up from the floor and opening it, seeing Will. "Hey, let's go."

He pulled him away before the others could say anything, sick of their teasing. He was going to make Will have fun, even if it was the last thing he did.

"Where were you planning to go?" Nico asked as they got into Will's car.

"I'm honestly not sure." he admitted. "You're pick."

Nico smirked, everything too easy. "Can I drive?"
