The camp was calm, quiet, which unnerved some, but many were glad for the break. They'd gone on multiple quests, and participated in two wars. Despite it happening months, or years ago, it was still something they were all caught in. Many demigods grew up and left to the safety of New Rome, like Nico and Will Di Angelo. They'd gotten married, had a home, a safe place to work, and a happy life. They'd survived against the world.

"Nico, can you get me something from the kitchen?" It was mumbled, soft and a patient request as he got up, they were cuddling, sitting on the couch and watching a movie in the living room. Nico, having a mythology hyperfixation since childhood, had requested they watch Hercules, a movie he'd never seen before tonight. He complained and got offended, and Will just laughed good naturedly while listening to his tyrad of frustration.
Nico hummed softly, nodding and kissing Will's hand as he got up to get more snacks and drinks. "Water or something else? I think we still have some wine left, from when Percy visited."
Will sighed, muttering to himself about having classes in the morning, then he agreed. "Mk, one drink."
Nico giggled, smiling somewhat mischievously at his special son of Apollo. Will glanced at him, feeling his heart bubble and fizz like a shaken can of soda. He waited, the movie paused and his foot tapping against the floor, knee bouncing his closed hand up and down methodically. He heard a crash and got up, throwing the blanket down and running to the kitchen, only to be met by the sight of Nico on a stool, struggling to reach their stash of alcohol, nectar, and ambrosia. The cabinet was too high, away from him. Annoyingly, that caused him to drop the wine he was getting for Will, ending up covered in it.
Nico looked nervous, worried about getting scolded. He was wet, his clothes soaked in red wine and his pale face red with embarrassment and panic.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I just didn't want to call you in here because you were comfortable and I wanted to do something nice for you. I didn't mean to make a mess!" Will noticed the sign of a panic attack, Nico was starting to breathe too quickly and shook, nearly falling off the stool as he sat down against the wall and whined, hiding his face in his arms. He was upset, mostly since it was silly to get so distressed over this, he didn't even know why he was getting upset, he cried aggressively, his chest aching. He felt Will hold onto him, carefully pulling his head from his arms.
"Sunshine... It's ok, we all break things. It was an accident, and it's just wine. We can get more, I'm certain." Nico whined more, closing his eyes and listening to his husband whisper to him, slowly calming down from his reassurances. He felt himself be picked up and didn't complain, ending up carried into the bathroom and set on the toilet. Will knelt in front of him, holding his hand and waiting until he calmed down enough to undress, since he was going to get him to shower while he cleaned up the kitchen. Eventually, Nico sighed, calm and embarrassed about his emotional outburst. He got undressed, giving his wet clothes to Will and kissing his cheek as he shooed him from the bathroom, turning the water on and getting into the shower once it was comfortable enough.

Will was quiet after putting Nico's clothes away, cleaning the broken glass in the kitchen and setting towels on the floor to soak up the wine. He considered just getting Percy to come and manipulate it, take it outside or something, but he wasn't sure if he could control wine as well as water. He laughed softly at the thought and brushed it off, getting off the floor and getting new clothes for Nico. He didn't mind seeing him without clothes, but he knew his death boy disliked being seen naked, unless they were having sex, and he knew Nico wasn't much of a fan of sexual intimacy.
Will felt wet arms wrap around his body as he stood at the closet and looked for clothes, smiling at the smaller male that nuzzled his face against his back. He could feel the water drip onto his clothes and he ignored it, not minding it as he got a shirt and sweatpants for Nico and passed them to him, letting him dress. He groaned slightly when he felt him jump on his back, kissing his cheek and holding onto him, wrapping his arms and legs around Will. He laughed, smiling at the blush and smile on his husband's face.
"I love you." He kissed his cheek, closing his eyes and leaning against Will as he turned the light off in the bedroom and carried him back to the living room go finish the movie.
