Chapter Text
Nico stumbled into his cabin to find Will Solace, curled up in his bed with a book. A scarlet blush colored Nico's face as he watched his boyfriend read attentively. He loved this side of Will, relaxed and at ease. He hadn't seen him like this in forever.
"Nico?" the sudden sound of Will's voice shook Nico out of his thoughts.
"Hi, Will," Nico smiled. He sat down by his boyfriend and placed his chin on Will's shoulder. "What are you doing in here?"
Will closed his book and rested his head on Nico's, "What? I can't come to visit my boyfriend?"
Nico's heart bloomed at that sentence. Boyfriend. He was the boyfriend of William Andrew Solace. Still, he found it strange how Will decided to go to his cabin. "I wasn't even here all day," Nico said, an amused tone colored his voice, "You know I was training today."
Will hummed in response and reopened his book. "Your cabin is quiet. I needed a place to read."
"What are you reading?" Nico asked, craning his neck to see. "Harry Potter, and the..." Nico paused for a moment, "Scoce, sorcer-"
"Sorcerer's Stone," Will finished for him, "Do you want to read with me?"
"I'll try," Nico joked.
The two sat for about thirty minutes, snuggling into each other, when Nico finally burst out, "What in the name of the Gods is a nuiorcn?!"
Will laughed, "A what?"
"Will stop laughing it's not funny. What the heck!?" Nico said playfully. He gave Will a shove, but Will just kept laughing.
"Do you mean a unicorn?" Will asked between giggles. A scarlet blush colored Nico's face. Stupid dyslexia, embarrassing him in front of Will!
"You know I can't read!" Nico said accusingly, "Don't laugh! You're so lucky you don't have dyslexia!"
Will only laughed louder and put his head in Nico's hair. "This is nice," he muttered. Nico nodded in agreement and rested his head on Will's chest. They stayed there, enjoying the other's presence as the world outside went on.
