Chapter Text
"So Will..."
Will's head popped up from where he had been previously focused on stitching her up, making eye contact with his patient.
"Yeah Amy?" he responded before dropping his eyes back down to her leg.
"I was wondering if you, uh gods this is silly, I was wondering if you'd wanna hang out sometime?" she asked before nervously biting her lip.
Will finished the last stitch before meeting her gaze again, his eyebrows furrowed. "Well, I'd love to be your friend Amy, but I'm dating someone if that's what you mean-"
"What?!"
"I said-"
"I heard what you said. "
"... Then why-"
"Who are you dating?" she questioned.
"Nico?" Will stated as if it were obvious.
Amy blankly stared at him for a few seconds, confusion crossing her face. "Nico who?"
"Nico di Angelo? I don't think there's more than one Nico?"
Amy let out a giggle before covering her mouth quickly.
"The Hades kid?" she asked, clearly finding this amusing.
"Yeah?" Will answered, growing more confused by the second.
Amy let out another laugh, causing Will to lean back in his chair and cross his arms over his chest, willing (haha) his brain to catch onto whatever was happening right now.
Amy collected herself and cleared her throat. "You really don't have to do this Will, I understand if you're not interested."
Will felt like his eyes were about to bug out of his skull as he tried to decipher her code.
"I'm sorry what? Do what?"
"You don't have to lie about dating someone," she stated, confusing Will even more.
"I'm not lying," Will stressed, letting out an awkward laugh.
Amy pursed her lips to stop herself from laughing again.
"you are dating Nico di Angelo?"
"Yes?!" he said, defensively.
"Right, and I'm dating Percy Jackson," Amy joked. "You're trying to say that you, head councilor Apollo, head medic, sunshine, rainbows, sugar, spice, and everything nice, is dating that lanky emo kid?"
"He is not a 'lanky emo kid'," Will said.
"Yeah, okay Will, whatever you say," Any remarked before getting up and walking out of the infirmary.
"It's not funny!" Will protested
Nico was laying next to him on the floor of the Hades cabin, laughing so hard he was crying.
"It is, actually. It's very funny," Nico commented after pulling himself together.
"We have to do more stuff together around camp."
"Are you sure you wanna be seen with the lanky emo kid?"
"Nico!"
"Will we are not promonading like you bought me from my father with 2 goats and a bull."
Will huffed, leading Nico to laugh at his frustration again.
"Baby is it really that big of a deal?" Nico asked, rolling over and propping himself up on his elbows to make eye contact with the scowling Will.
"Yes," Will asserted.
"It is?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Will furrowed his eyebrows further together, contemplating the question.
"Because."
"You really have your father's poetic prowess, Will, " Nico remarked, reaching over to gently move the hair out of Will's eyes.
"I just don't like the insinuation," Will stressed.
Nico held back his laugh by biting his lips. "What insinuation."
"That there's no way we could be together, that you're not good enough for me."
"Ah, so this is about my honor," Nico bemused.
"Yes, exactly," Will confirmed.
Nico made a sarcastic hum of understanding. "So your proposal for righting this great sin is to what? Make out on top of the lava wall?"
Will sighed dramatically and draped one of his arms over his face. Nico rolled his eyes and settled his head onto Will's chest. Will eventually let his arm move down to run through Nico's hair gently. They stayed like that, finding comfort in the silence.
"Were you serious about the lava wall?" Will asked, finally breaking the silence.
"Absolutely not."
