The morning after, but not in that way
Nico woke up. He was not on his bed. This concerned him.
There was also someone else in the room. This concerned him even more.
He was also freezing cold, which was not concerning, but it was a little annoying.
He sat up, trying to get his bearings. He was definitely still in his cabin, which was good, but he wasn't in his bed. The person on the bed was Will.
OH MY GODS THE PERSON ON THE BED IS WILL.
Also, he was shirtless. Nico didn't remember most of last night, but he was pretty sure that it didn't include any of that.
That didn't stop him from freaking out though. A shirtless Will Solace was sleeping shirtless on a bed in his room. And since that is not were he usually slept, that meant that people in the Apollo cabin knew where he was and that he wasn't in his cabin and that he had slept over in a cabin with Nico and that meant that people were going to make assumptions and he couldn't deal with that, especially Percy and Jason.
Somehow, as if he could read his thoughts and sense his freak out, Will woke up.
"Good morning, Sunshine" He smiled at Nico.
"Solace, put a shirt on and for the love of god tell me what happened and why you are asleep in my cabin."
"Oh, right," Will said, grabbing his shirt from Nico and putting it on. "Well, you fell asleep during the movie, rude, by the way and I didn't want to get eaten by the cleaning harpies, so I just stayed here. But I knew which one is your bed so I didn't sleep in that one and it was too hot so I took off my shirt."
"Okay but, like people are going to think that,,, you know. And I can't deal with that."
"Why's that? Percy and Annabeth sleep in the same cabin all the time, same with Piper and Jason."
"Yeah, but they're all couples, they've been together forever. We're not a couple."
"Well how about we do something about that?" Will said, smiling softly. His heart was beating so damn fast, but he would never let on. He was scared out of his mind that Nico would say no.
"Uuuuuggggggmmmm" Nico replied, very eloquently. He was trying his absolute best to say yes but finding it very difficult.
Will took this the exact wrong way and his face fell. He started to apologise and headed towards the door.
"Wait, Will!" Nico pleaded "That was me trying to say yes!"
"Oh, oh my gods Nico you scared me!"
"You've just got to take it slow with me, Will. I'm not used to any of this and I'm not very good at human contact in general, let alone having a boyfriend. Just give me time."
"Yeah, okay." Will said but it was muffled by Nico pulling him in for a massive hug.
