For what felt like forever to Will, he's been crushing on Nico. Okay, that's not entirely true. About three weeks since the Giant War was over. Will walked pasted the Hades cabin and walked in to see a shirtless Nico sprawled out on the bed, tangled in the bed sheets fast asleep. Will smiled and opened the blinds letting the bright and harsh sunlight illuminate the cabin.

Nico moved his head and saw a blinding light glowing around Will. He looks like a guardian angel with the light glowing like that, Nico thought to himself as he shifted his body. Will smiled and grabbed Nico's hand.

"It's for medical reasons." Will said lacing his fingers through Nico's long fingers. Their hands fitted perfectly together like gloves waiting to cover someone's hand. "'Cause you know, I'm a doctor and all."

Nico shrugged and walked to the bathroom without letting go of Will's warm hand. Nico brushed his teeth and washed his face with one hand while the other hand was tightly in another hand. He rubbed his hand underneath his eyes. Dark purple bags normally cover his eyes underneath but lately, without stress and actually spending time outside and with people, he's been able to sleep well once again and not for days or very little hours of the night.

Will dragged him to his wardrobe and gave him an orange Camp Half-Blood tee shirt. Nico looked a little taken back at the thought of wearing the tee shirt since he's meant to be dark and all about death.

"C'mon, Death Boy." Will said with a large smirk forming across his face. "If you really want to be a part of this family, you need to wear the uniform."

"Then I don't want to be a part of this family." Nico snatched the shirt out of Will's hand and threw it back into the wardrobe. He grabbed a plain black shirt and shut the wardrobe. "I'm going to have to let go of your hand to put my shirt on."

And so for two horrible seconds, their hands were not connected. For the rest of that day, Nico and Will spent most of their time together. When Nico admitted that he was staying at Camp Half-Blood, Will convinced him to have the same activities at the same time as his cabin. It helps with the fact that Nico just went with the flow, not even caring to pay attention in Arts and Crafts until they were learning how to blow up ships and mountains. It also made Will feel good about the younger boy joining them for training sessions because the rest of the Apollo cabin were cool with the fact that one of the darkest camper is hanging out with children of the Sun and Music God.

There was one thing that Nico hated was archery. Each Apollo camper has tried to teach him but every single time, he's failed and have gotten worse and worse with the sport. In return, since the Apollo cabin were horrible swordsmen, Nico taught them the basic training of using a sword and for some people, how to use a dagger. In return for thanking each other for the training, the Apollo (well, mainly because Will insisted) Nico was allowed to sit with the Apollo cabin at meal time and camp fire.

Later that night, Nico and Will were leaning on each other for support at camp fire since the others in the Apollo cabin had taken most of the room and left nowhere for the two boys to sit. Will sometimes caught his siblings snickering and smirking at them, whispering to each other like they were dealing illicit drugs with their parent's money. When Chiron announced that the fire was over, Will grabbed his hand and walked back to Nico's cabin. Nico didn't complain. He didn't feel the need to pull his hand away from the older boy's grasp.

That night, Will stayed in Nico's cabin. Nico was leaning against his headboard in his pyjamas while Will sat beside him not paying attention to the movie playing on the television. Will lifted his hand and stroked Nico's cheek. His skin was so soft and smooth. Nico bit his lip trying not to smile as a blush rose to his cheeks.

"This is for medical reasons." Will said as Nico opened his mouth, the closed it again. Nico shook his head and placed his head on his pillow. He was still holding Will's hand as he fell into a deep sleep. Before Nico fully fell asleep, he felt a warm body pressed against his back. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist pulling him in closer. "Medical reasons," Will said as his warm breath passed Nico's neck making him shiver.

When Nico woke up the next morning, he was basically on top of Will. He looked up at Will who was awake watching him. "Medical reasons" Will said. 'Medical reasons' to be his only excuse nowadays. Nico found it strange that Will only had one excuse and it wasn't the excuse he wanted to hear. He's let Will hold his hand, cuddle him, touch his skin and sleep in his bed and that's a lot for Nico to allow. Normally, hand holding wouldn't be allowed.

Later that day, Nico and Will were still in bed. Of course, they had breakfast and brushed their teeth but right after Will brushed his teeth, he ran back to Nico's cabin and started cuddling the smaller boy. They ended up skipping dinner and campfire together so they could cuddle and talk about their experiences through thick and thin. Nico didn't say much about his thick times but when he talked about his thin times, he would squeeze Will's hands and pull him closer.

In the early hours in the morning, Will turned Nico's thin body so he was lying on his back looking up at Will who was leaning on his elbow. Will stroked Nico's cheek causing his cheeks to turn into a blushing colour. Will cupped Nico's cheek, leaned down and pressed his lips to Nico's lips. Their first kiss was nice, no tongue, not desperate or too hard as well. Their kiss was soft and routine perfectly as they've been practising with each other for years. That night was Nico's first kiss . . . And his first make out session.

"Was that for medical reasons?" Nico asked as they were falling asleep.

"Totally medical." Will mumbled into Nico's shoulder blade. "Everything I do is totally medical."

The next couple of days, Will took Nico out to small dates whenever he had the chance, cuddled him to sleep, watch the smaller demigod sleep, kissed him and held his hand. Of course, every time Nico asked Will why he showed Nico so much affection, he would blame it on 'Medical Reasons' and keep kissing him until one night.

It was a very late night and Nico and Will were wide awake just talking and drinking Kool-Aid and cans of soft drinks. Nico was straddling Will as he took a sip of his drink with a small smile on his face. Will held his hands on Nico's hips, his thumb rubbing small circles on his exposed skin. Nico couldn't stop smiling; he was in love with the older boy! And in a way, he hated the fact that whenever he wasn't around, Nico missed the boy who was filled with sunshine and arrows and when they were together, Nico and Will couldn't get enough of each other.

Nico placed his glass on the nightstand and looked down at Will. Will bit his lower lip and smiled his devious yet addictive smile. Nico didn't mind smiling around Will whenever he was around, but when he wasn't with Will, he hated the expression.

"I've had a lot of fun with you, Death Boy." Will said stroking Nico's cheek with his thumb.

"Don't call me that," Nico replied trying not to smile.

Will sat up and kissed Nico. Nico's hands wrapped themselves around Will's neck while Will's hands roamed underneath Nico's shirt. Next thing both boys realised, they were both lying naked on the sheets of Nico's bed. Their stomachs were covered with a white sticky substance. Nico grabbed the box of tissues on his night stand and started to clean up the substance. Will kissed Nico's temple and helped him clean up. As they cleaned up, Will started to feel turned on from seeing an attractive boy in front of him, it was worse since Nico was naked.

"Will, I have to tell you something." Nico said wincing as he moved. Will ended up taking the tissues from Nico's grasp and placed them in the trash along with a used condom. Nico left Will's grasp and sat up in a slow motion since it hurt to move. "That . . . That was my first time."

"Did I hurt you too much?" Will asked suddenly alerted. He didn't want to hurt Nico at all and if he knew that it was Nico's first time, he would've had prepared more and made it more special for the younger demigod.

"It only hurt a little," Nico admitted. He suddenly felt exhausted from the confession and the adult fun time. "I'm going to get some sleep now." Both boys lay on the bed at the same time. Will wrapped his arms around Nico's smaller body and carefully pulled him closer.
