Nico honestly didn’t know what he was thinking. It was just a mood from the moment he woke up. He wanted to tease Will by secretly complimenting him in Italian the whole day, but he definitely did not expect for it to backfire.

Nico was just starting to wake when his boyfriend came knocking on the door. “Rise and shine, Nico! Don’t wanna miss breakfast.” Will then entered the room then sat down beside Nico.
Nico groaned, “Do you have to wake me up like this every morning?”
Will chuckled, “I’m just looking out for you, love. Besides, you can always change it up by waking up early.”
Nico stared at his boyfriend, the sunshine from the window reflecting his face, and highlighting his freckles. That’s when Nico had the thought. He smirked at his boyfriend, “Le tue lentiggini sono così carine.” (Your freckles are so cute.)
Will snorted, “What’s that’s supposed to mean?”
Nico shrugged, “Il sole fa brillare i tuoi bellissimi occhi azzurri, facendoti sembrare un adorabile personaggio anime.” (The sun makes your beautiful blue eyes sparkle, making you look like an adorable anime character.)
Will rolled his eyes, but Nico can’t help noticed how the son of Apollo was still smiling. Nico wanted to annoy him by speaking something he cannot understand, so he decided to keep at it till’ Will finally breaks and beg for the meaning of what he said.
Will then stood up, “Okay, enough of that. Time for some breakfast.” Will then offered a hand to help him up.
Nico took it then allowed Will to pull him, “Sei così inaspettatamente forte. Scommetto che hai una discreta quantità di muscoli e mi piacerebbe vederti flettere quei muscoli.” (You are so unexpectedly strong. I bet you have a fair amount of muscles and I'd like to see you flex those muscles.)
Will chuckled, “Just get dressed already.”
Nico sighed then changed into more decent clothes.

After breakfast, Nico has decided to accompany Will in his infirmary shift. The two were taking inventory since there was no injured camper at the moment.
Will shrugged, “Looks like we're running low on ambrosia again.”
Nico chuckled, “With all the pranks from the Hermes cabin and fights from the Ares cabin, that doesn’t sound surprising at all.”
Will shrugged, “How’s the painkillers and mortal stuff?”
Nico looked down at his clipboard, “Still fully filled.”
Will sighed, “Those rarely get used.” He then began to be deep in thought. After a few moments, his eyes lit up mischievously from an idea.
Nico stared at how hot his boyfriend was when he had a mischievous glint in his eyes, “Will, what are you planning?”
Will smirked, “I had enough of injuries coming from nonsense such as pranks or fights. So, what if everytime their injury came from something as those examples, then they’ll be punished in a way that they had to heal the mortal way. No ambrosia, no nectar, just painkillers and bandages.”
Nico smiled at his boyfriend, “È malvagio ma amo questo lato di te. Questo ti rende decisamente più caldo.” (That’s evil but I love this side of you. This definitely makes you hotter.)
Will smiled at his boyfriend, “I’m going to propose my idea to Chiron. Is it alright if you finish up inventory?”
Nico shrugged, “Come potrei dire di no al tuo bel viso?” (How could I say no to your beautiful face)
Will rolled his eyes, “I’ll take that as a yes.” Will then waved goodbye as he went for Chiron.

Later that night, Will and Nico were having a movie night. The two were sitting on the couch of the Hades cabin as they watched. Nico was leaning his head on Will’s shoulder while Will had an arm around him.
Nico kissed Will on the cheek, Will then let out a chuckle which made Nico’s heart flutter. Nico leaned in to Will more as he said, “La tua risata suona come una bellissima melodia.” ( Your laugh sounds like a beautiful melody.)
Will then met Nico’s eyes, “You know, I really love your Italian accent.”
Nico blushed then sighed, “Oh, I give up.”
Will paused the movie then looked at his boyfriend questioningly, “Give up on what?”
Nico shrugged, “Annoying you and making you curious.”
Will chuckled, “Oh, non sapevi che parlo anche italiano?” (Oh, didn't you know that I also speak Italian?)
Nico suddenly felt himself blush so much as his eyes widened, “Wha- How?”
Will shrugged, “It’s a natural thing for me, since music originated from Italy and Apollo’s the god of music and all.”
Nico glared at him, “Why didn’t you tell me you understood earlier!” Nico then hid his blushing face in his hands, “Gods, this is all so embarrassing.”
Will placed a kiss on Nico’s cheek, “Oh come on love, I happen to find it very cute. I must say you make me feel so special.”
Nico looked up a bit then said shyly, “Well you are.”
Will smiled, “So did you mean everything you said?”
Nico nudged Will playfully in the shoulder, “Of course I did! You took advantage of my obliviousness!”
Will laughed at this, “Please forgive me love, it’s just nice to hear you compliment me every once in a while.”
Nico sighed, “Guess this is what I get for insulting you every chance I get.”
Will hummed in agreement, “Definitely, but I must admit, I do miss your constant insults.”
Nico rolled his eyes, “You're one big dork, do you know that?”
Will smiled, “Ah, there’s my Nico.”
Nico smiled back at him, “Now let’s shut up so we can finish our movie.”
Will rolled his eyes, “But-”
“Shut up and play the movie, Solace.”
“Fine.” Will played the movie as the two boys started to cuddle again. After awhile Will kissed Nico on the forehead, “Ti amo, mi amore.” (I love you, my love)
Nico looked up at his boyfriend then smiled, “Anch'io ti amo, mio sole” (I love you too, my sun.)
