Nico decided to go outside and wander around camp, both to clear his head, and to look for Will and think up a way to corner him. He walked past the stables against his decision of course, since horses didn't exactly like the children of Hades, he did keep some distance to keep from causing a stampede.

He only went this way because he happened to see Will go by there, and from where Nico was standing, disappear. He couldn't be sure, but he thought he went into the stables. Great, Nico thought, horses. Just another thing to make his day somewhat worse.. He sighed in reluctance and stepped through the stable doors.

The first thing Nico noticed was that the horses were not happy. The second thing he noticed was he lost Will again. He looked around, trying to be quiet in hopes of not startling the horses. He failed at step one. He tripped on a hanging bridle, managing to get his foot caught around it and landing on the floor with a thud. He blinked a few times, realizing he wasn't hurt, but looked up only to meet two bright blue beautiful eyes, and perfect freckles to match. After that, Nico forgot how to speak. It had been a whole day of planning what and how to talk to Will, and when he finally got close to him, he couldn't speak. This wasn't a good thing for Nico.

Will just smiled, "We meet again huh, deathboy? You should be more careful in here., Though nobody ever cleans up much." He helped Nico to his feet, and his smile never wavered.. Even when Nico had to untangle hay from his unbelievably long hair. (It wasn't very long, but since he'd had it short for so long, it seemed like it had grown an inch or three)

So Nico sneezed. Which must have given off some sort of scent of his to the horses, because they started going nuts. They whinnied in defense, apparently thinking Nico was here to send them all to the Underworld or something. One of them managed to kick their stable door down, which Nico knew would have hit him if Will hadn't pushed him out of the way… And landed on top of Nico in the process…

But of course all Nico had to say was, "Uh…" Instead of 'thank you' or 'get off me'. On the bright side, he didn't yell at Will. In fact, he was perfectly content with Will on top of him. Though he'd never tell Will that…

His eyes met Will's and Nico realized Will's face was completely red. Did this mean he felt the same way Nico did? No, of course it didn't, Will was embarrassed of course, but that didn't mean anything.

It took both of them quite a bit of time to remember where they were. Will quickly got off Nico, helping him up as well. Nico was almost slightly disappointed that they couldn't be like that forever. So close to Will.. He shook his head, unaware Will was watching him.

"You alright, deathboy?" Will watched Nico carefully, but his eyes weren't guarded like Nico's always were. He wondered how Will stayed to happy all the time. He always seemed so alone.

"Yea, um, I'm alright, thanks.." Nico replied, almost stuttering. Why was he acting so calm?

Will managed to close the stall door, locking it in place so the horses wouldn't kick it down again.
"I think we should head back to the pavilion, huh?" He said to Nico with a kind smile.

Nico nodded aimlessly, not trusting himself to talk, in worry he'd say something stupid again. As they were walking back to the dining pavilion, Will happened to come a little closer to Nico than he'd thought he'd ever be to anyone. He was mostly aware that from this exact spot they were in, nobody else could see them, from any side of camp.

Will reached out and grabbed Nico's hand. When Nico turned around to look at Will to ask what he was doing, his mouth met Will's. Now, Nico hadn't ever kissed anyone before, so he was pretty much clueless, going along with what Will was doing. Kissing was considerably easy, what the hard part was, was trying not to faint. He didn't actually think Will felt the same, but he must have felt bad about landing on Nico earlier in the stables, so he was apologizing or something. Stop it, Nico, William Solace likes you back and you're happy about it.

When they got back to the pavilion, neither of them could stop smiling. It was mainly a way to cover the fact that both of them were red, but nobody thought anything of it.

Besides the fact that Nico never smiled until he met William Solace. Everyone knew that.
