Chapter Text
Nico and will have been dating for a few years now, and it’s been going great. Romantic dates, comfy movie nights in the hades cabin, double dates with hazel and frank, and especially the sex. Will had this drive to him, this want to please Nico, It drove him crazy. Any little thing Nico would bring up casually, even if it was small, will would remember it and offer to test it out the next time they were in bed. They’d tried so many things together.. truthfully, it had taken years to work up to sex with will, internalized homophobia and just general worry does that.
He truly wouldn’t give will up for the world.
Recently, Nico’s mind has been plagued with so many sinarios— ones he’s ashamed of having. Even if he told Percy he wasn’t his type… the stupid crush on him seemed to linger more then he would like to admit. Even worse, Jason WAS his type! Blonde, tall, caring, goofy…
The fantasy’s aren’t realistic, he thought, and will would freak out if he brought up the topic, right? But his brain wouldn’t let the thought go... Being passed between the three demigods… he had convinced himself it would never happen and he would never say anything about it.

Percy got the notification and immediately clicked the photos- and wow. He looked…. Hot? Pretty? Cute? All of the above.. he knew Nico had a crush on him, and that over the time he got to know Nico better after the war with Gaia, Percy himself may have started catching feelings.

~hshshshshsh thanks guys-
Nico looked away from his Demi-god safe phone [courtesy of Valdez] ,blushing as red as the strawberry’s camp half-blood grew. Nico burried his face in his pillow, giggling like a child till his phone buzzed again.

~I wonder if will rents out..
~UHM JUST KIDDING
~unless?
~SORRY sorry
~I’ll stop.
Nico couldn’t believe what he was reading.. this can’t be real— his heart may have just actually jumped from his chest. But then he immediately was overcome with shame. He was with will. he loved will dearly, that tingly feeling his smile gave Nico, the warm and kind nature he displayed, everything about him confirmed to Nico that he would marry that man. How could Nico just go off thinking these things when he has a great loving boyfriend? A pressure in his chest grew, the all too familiar guilt eating at him.

Nico turned his phone off. Anxiety ran through his veins and his head throbbed. What would will say? What would will think? Would he be disgusted? Call Nico a slut for being open to the idea of a foursome? He needed some sleep… to bad he couldn’t sleep until 6am.

~morning sunshine! When your awake let me know so I can head to your cabin, I’d like to have a chat:)
…
Nico woke up to the ping. He scrambled for his phone and when he read the message his heart nearly stopped.. he wants to talk— no doubt in Nico’s mind it would be about what went down in the group chat the night before. In his panic, he quickly sent the first thing that came to mind.
Ghost king 🖤
~morning
…
THATS IT? come on Nico, say something else. After that thought out message, you just say morning??
Ghost king 🖤
~are you mad?
~I love you.
~I’m sorry.
After he sent those three messages, he curled up into a ball under his covers, shadows hovering around him. Tears start rolling down his cheeks, and he burries his face in his pillow.
A few minutes later, a knock on his cabin door. He stays still, says nothing, try’s to not make noise.
“Nico?? Are you crying? Oh sunshine, can I come in?” It was will. The same sweet voice, open to talk.
Nico said nothing. Did nothing. Just laying there sobbing. He knows he really shouldn’t be that scared right now, will was the sweetest and most open person Nico knew, but the anxiety bubbling in his chest didn’t care about that.
“Nico.. I’m coming in.” Will opened the cabin door, a sliver of golden light shining through the crack. He stepped in, and closed the door, but Nico could see the faint glow coming off of wills skin, he literally did glow in the dark. Will made his way to Nico’s bed, and sat at the edge of it.
“Nico.. I’m not mad.” Will said as his soft hand grazed over Nico’s head, moving a piece of his hair behind his ear.
“Can you look at me, darlin’?” Will leaned over Nico, smiling brightly as always, his eyebrows knitted with worry. Nico slowly shifted his gaze, looking back at will's sky blue eyes, tears running down his own cheeks. Will moved to cradle Nico’s face in his hands, wiping the tears with his thumb. The blonde kissed the other boys forehead, moving his thumb left and right in a calming motion on Nico’s cheek.
Nico leaned into the touch, placing his own pale hand on will's. A little over a minute later, will was kissing Nico every place he could reach. Head, bridge of his nose, both cheeks, temples, jawline, then finally he turned his attention to Nico’s neck. The healer placed gentle kisses along his neck, running a hand through the dark hair. Will gave a slightly rough tug on the Italians hair, rewarding him with a soft whine. Will smiled against Nico’s neck, continuing to trail kisses across the pale skin.
“Will..? What are you doing…?” Nico asks, his voice was still groggy with sleep and the good amount of crying he just did.
Will pauses his kisses to look back up at Nico. “Showing you I’m not mad by kissing you all over?” He says with a small smile, his thumb still caressing Nico’s cheek.
“You’re not mad?” Nico asks with his tone filled with disbelief, looking over wills expression, trying to detect any hint he was hiding something.
“No, I’m not. I wish you would’ve talked to me, hun. I’d never shame you for being curious.” Wills eyes held the most sincerity, Nico giving a small relieved sigh. “But I would like to talk about this more.” He adds, scooting closer onto the bed and laying down next to Nico, pulling the younger man to his chest.
“Was it just a spur of the moment response, or is that something you’d like to explore with me?” Will asks, his voice as sweet as honey, making it clear he wasn’t angry or upset at all.
Nico hums and his eyes avert their gaze, his head resting on wills chest. He’s reluctant to respond, but he wants to tell will the truth. “I guess I’ve been… thinking about it. You’re still my number one!” Nico said the last line quickly, his head moving to look up at will.
Will gives a hearty chuckle at the response Nico gave. “I know, baby, I’m not worried about that. I’m not against experimenting with other people either, I’m kind of into the idea, actually…” will says, his own face flushed with a light pink as he speaks.
They both lay there in bed cuddled together, talking through what this all means for them. Will makes it clear he doesn’t mind polyamory, he even admits to having a crush on Percy too! That was a shock for Nico. They come to the conclusion they’ll have to talk with Percy and Jason more about this, set some boundaries and just get everything off their chests. But they save that for later, for right now, they’re too comfy.
