WILL

Guess I failed. He thought as he sat on the fallen tree trunk lying on the forest floor. His favourite spot for two days. Til now.

He then picked up stones and absentmindedly throw them far away.

I never thought my feeling would go this far. Every thing he does, my eyes would follow.

Now I creeped him out. He even just went through everything because I made him. Forced.

Gods, Will. This is the first time you failed.

I always manage to get everything I want.

The memories of him seeing Nico talk with his Argo II friends made Will cringe.

I just want him to look at me like he does with the rest.

I want him to smile at me like that.

I want his company.

I want his everything.

Now everything's gonna go fall down.

Sorry Nico. I may have even not told you how I feel.

"Arghh!" He exclaimed in frustration as he threw the last stone away, then burying his face in his hands.

I didn't know it was this painful.

He can then hear footsteps nearing towards him. He then looks up, then cringes.

"is that how you greet someone who was looking for you for two hours?!" Nico shouted.

"why," he started to ask, a smile forming on his face. "worried you won't see my pretty face again?"

Nico grunted, then turned his back away from him, Will seeing his ears turn bright red.

"g-geez, Will. If you're going away like that-at least tell me." Nico said, his voice faltering, then steadying, as if relief washed over him.

Sorry I made you worry, Nico.

Nico turned back, staring back now at him. His smile never left his face watching Nico stare at him.

"Will, i'm not going back." Nico finally said.

"I know," Will stated sadly, his face turning grim. "I only asked for three days."

"So..." Nico trailed off.

Why are you not saying goodbye?

You're here to say that right?

"Will..."

Stop staring at me like that Nico.

You don't know how long i've been holding back.

"you told me to come to you if something bothers me, right?" Nico asked.

"ah, yeah. So what is it?" Will asked.

It took Nico a few seconds.

"you. Stop being distant to me. If you're holding back, don't."

Will just stared at him, eyes widening.

"Don't hold back, Will."

It also took Will a few seconds. And four magic words to slam Nico into the nearest tree and place his lips on Nico's.

Nico froze. Will backed away.

At least you know how I feel now. At least-

Nico pulled him back to him and this time, kissed him. And wrapped his arms around him.

NICO

He never imagined the feeling of being loved back.

He would always think it's not possible.

But he never knew it would feel Ithis goodI.

Will felt the same.

He knew, he believed.

He wrapped his arms around Will's neck, as he feel Will's hands linger on his waist, as he leaned him into the tree.

Will was the first to break from their kiss, pupils blown.

Now that is something i'd never seen before.

"N-Nico..." his voice was raspy.

"W-will..."he stuttered. Surprisingly.

"Gods above, Di Angelo. You-"

"sorry." He interrupted, looking away. Blushing. He didn't intend to do it like that. He never did it before.

But Will's lips felt like, it felt like something he couldn't describe. But it made his legs shake and make him ask for...more.

He then felt Will's delicate fingers touch his chin and turn it towards him causing Nico to look directly at his blue eyes.

He was smiling.

"don't be." was what Will only replied when he leaned into Nico and kissed him. Again.

I could get used to this.

But it scared Nico.

He knew that. It made him very aware of Will's movements, how Will's fingers traced his back, his spine, on how hot and messy he feels when Will claims his mouth. His scent, that was so intoxicating.

Everything about Will was so addicting. He can't stop.

How come I managed to avoid him?

Maybe he was so focused on avoiding Percy and secluding himself from the rest that he failed to notice every little thing that could possibly make him happy.

But that was before.

Nico's thoughts were placed back when he felt Will nib at his lower lip, begging for entrance. He obeyed, feeling like he could collapse when Will's tongue danced along with his in a fiery, addicting rythm.

He gripped tightly at Will's shoulders. Gods, let this be not a dream. Was the last rational thought he had when he fully succumbed to Will's dominance.

Will broke away after, which was like a very long time for Nico. Both of them were breathing heavily.

"W-will!" He gasped in surprised when Will hugged him, his head on Nico's shoulder.

"i love you, death boy." he heard Will whisper in his ear.

Oh can he never be so happier.

"me too," he replied, not feeling shy and flustered anymore.

Maybe the death boy part was something he could rant to the son of Apollo later, when they finally calm down.

But now, they're both busy in each other's arms.
