“Oh, come on, there’s just —” Will blows an errant curl from out of his eyes, cheeks red with exertion, balancing nimbly on his feet to put both hands on his hips. “There’s no way, Nico.”
Nico, not blessed with such balance, has to hold all footholds with all limbs, staring warily at the lava wall’s snake holes.
“What? I’m just not as good as you.”
Will flops his right arm outwards, narrowly avoiding smacking it against the rock. “But you are!”
Nico shifts his wary gaze from the snake holes to Will’s rope harness. Is it tight enough? It better be tight enough. Will is putting a lot of faith in it, right now.
“You scaled those cliffs in — in the place —” he trips, still, over the pit, on the odd time he mentions it, and it always makes Nico wince — “like it was nothing! And whenever Percy visits and challenges you you’re suddenly the lava wall expert!” He turns stern blue eyes to face Nico’s head-on. “Not buying it, di Angelo!”
A gush of lava forces him to resume climbing, but there’s an aggression to his movements — a specific, stiff, curated aggression, that Nico has learned means anxiety in people known as William Andrew Solace. That, and coupled with the rapid muttering which, in between the roar of molten stone, Nico believes is a a repetition of “dumbass” “always tryna act a goddamn fool” and “I’m gonna kill him before he sends me into cardiac arrest again”, interspersed with random swears in English, Latin, Ancient Greek, and also — gods — Klingon.
“Will.”
Will ignores him, scampering the last few feet up the wall and slapping the top before relaying down. Nico sighs, following him (albeit significantly slower).
“Will.”
“You’re hiding something from me.” He practically rips the harness off his body — do not think about that do not think about that do not think about that — and shoves it on the hook so hard it damn near snaps off. The look he levels in Nico’s direction practically turns him to stone, it’s so frigid, and he has to resist a shiver. “I can tell.”
It takes a good amount of pushing to make Will all testy like this. Sure, his buttons are easy to push, but most of that is for show. He likes to be dramatic. (Especially because he knows Nico will indulge him, more than anyone else ever has. He relishes in it, Nico thinks; he likes that Nico will watch his productions. An Apollo kid through and through.) He’s not usually one to show his genuine frustration.
But, hoo, boy, when he is frustrated.
Nico has a bad, bad habit of making it worse.
(As if it’s his fault that Will’s hot when he’s mad.)
“Don’t know what you’re talking about,” Nico says, forcibly lightly. He sticks his hand out defiantly. “Check me, why don’t you? Not hiding anything.”
He really isn’t. No injuries, no illness, hell, he’s not even tired. Had a full three meals and everything. Even his perpetually achey joints aren’t bad today.
All of this, obviously, is communicated when Will touches him, squinting suspiciously at their joined hands.
“You’re heart rate is high,” he mutters petulantly.
Nico looks at him patiently. “That’s ‘cause my smokeshow boyfriend is holding my hand.”
Grumpy as he’s trying to be, his ears redden. A smile twitches at the corner of his mouth.
“Shut up.”
Nico grins, pulling his hand up to his mouth and pressing a kiss to the knuckles.
“No.”
“Whatever,” Will says, snatching his hand back. His smile spreads widely across his face, now, and he looks away, as pleased as he is exasperated. “You’re still being a weirdo. I should not be so far ahead of you on the wall, Neeks.”
Success — back to nicknames. Crisis averted.
“Have you considered that you’re the camp-wide record holder for a reason, you spider monkey?”
“Still!”
“Yeah, yeah.” Nico gets up on his tiptoes, pressing a lingering kiss to the bridge of his freckled nose. “Stop worrying about me, Solace. I’m fine. Burn off some steam, I’ll watch.”
Will huffs. “Fine. But I’ll find out, y’hear me? Truth can’t hide from me for long.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
He watches as Will suits back up, helping him with his more complicated straps (because Nico was raised to be a gentleman, obviously, why else) and shooing him away when he opens his mouth for more interrogations. He switches to sticking out his tongue, and after a moment of hesitation, bounds back over to his first true love — being a big nerdy jock dork.
Nico settles on the grass several feet away from the wall, pretending to clean his sword. After a few minutes, he hears footsteps, and two people sit next to him on either side.
“So,” says Lou Ellen, ignoring Nico’s suspicious look as she tosses a glowing ball of something around, “how come you’re not climbing?”
Nico shrugs. “Only so many times you can climb before it gets boring.”
On his other side, Cecil makes a loud buzzer sound.
“Nope! Wrong answer. Try again.”
Nico is a dignified grownup who refuses to stoop down to Cecil’s level by responding. Instead, he reaches over and pokes him in his ridiculously sensitive ribs, hard, sending him sprawling with a screech.
“Shut up,” he says mildly, as his friend flails. “I’m trying to be a supportive boyfriend, and I can’t do that with all your whining.”
Will has, in the ten minutes since he started, made it halfway up the wall. He seems to have it programmed to the Super Extra Mega Evil Insane mode that the Athena and Ares kids invented just for him, since he smoked all the other levels. He dodges a shot of lava with a laugh, throwing himself to the side and hanging on with three fingers and one scuffed sneaker poised on the tiniest sliver of rock. His attention is broken when Lou Ellen sticks her face right in Nico’s field of vision, tracing Nico’s eyeline with narrowed eyes.
“Ah,” she nods knowingly. “You’re staring at his ass.”
Nico falters, damn near slicing his own fingers off. “No idea what you’re talking about,” he says blithely. He gestures without looking at his sword. “I’m busy, see?”
She scoffs. “Real busy. That’s why you almost just did emergency surgery on yourself.”
“Exactly.”
Will pushes up a foot, shifting his hips and launching himself upwards. He makes a little shout of victory, plastering himself to the wall to keep balance, every muscle tensed.
From his place on the floor, Cecil makes an appreciative noise. “He does have a nice ass. Can’t blame you for looking.”
Nico frowns. “Hey. Stop objectifying my boyfriend.” He reaches out and smacks a hand over Cecil’s eyes. “That’s my job.”
“You guys are ridiculous.”
Nico reaches over and puts a hand over her eyes, too, ‘cause there’s no missing where they’re pointed.
“Shut up or I’ll literally put shadows into your retinae and blind you forever,” Nico threatens. (Is this a thing he can do? No. Do his friends know this? Also no.)
“You’re a dictator!” Cecil protests.
“Depriving us of basic human rights!” Lou Ellen agrees.
Nico shrugs. He glances back up the the climbing wall, where he has a very perfect view — and a great reason to never even try to climb faster than Will does. He grins.
“Too bad for you guys.”

Will Solace loves Star Wars
Nico has seen a lot of weird things in his life.
It's included in the demigod packaged he received upon birth.
Got upgraded to premium after he spent eighty years in a casino where he met tons and tons of unique people.
But seeing his boyfriend and Cecil Markowitz dressed up in some kind of robes, Will in beige and the son of Hermes in black, facing each other on the top of the lava climbing wall is at least earning third place on the podium.
They circling each other when Cecil starts talking.
"I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire !"
What is this doofus talking about ?
"Your new empire ?"
"Don't make me kill you."
Nico frowns. He's used by now to his boyfriend's antics but Cecil is sounding really serious.
"Anakin, my allegiance is to the republic, to democracy !", Will screams at Cecil.
Anakin ?
Who in his father's name is Anakin ?
"If you're not with me, then you are my enemy."
"Only a Sith deals in absolute."
Nico figures it's some kind of pop culture he missed on. He has no idea of what a Sith is.
"I will do what I must."
He boyfriend reaches for something in his robes, face deadly serious and golden curls flying around his face.
"You will try"
At his bewilderment, they both ignite some kind of light sword. Cecil does a backflip Nico had no idea the scrawny little thief could do and he attacks his boyfriend.
Music fills his ears, he sees Austin, Kayla, Yan, Gracie and Jerry playing a somber tune as Will and Cecil clash their sword in a practiced dance, their movements swift and graceful.
He watches, a little awed he'll admit, Will doing a backflip to escape Cecil's attack, the two boys using all the place they have in top of the lava wall.
The combat continues for a while, Nico suffering from a heart attack when Cecil almost chokes Will to death, until the music gets faster and more tense, a chore of voices now joining.
They fucking jump on the lava wall.
It occurs now to Nico that the wall has been modified, flying platforms turning around it, sometimes getting splashed by molten lava.
Will and Cecil continue to fight while they jump platforms to platforms, narrowly dodging droplets of lava.
"I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you," Will says with sadness in his voice, hands tightening around his sword.
"I should have knows the Jedi were planning to take over !"
"Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil !"
"From my point of view the Jedi are evil !"
"Then you are lost !"
Nico has never seen such tension between those two. They facing each other, both with grim determination.
"This is the end for you my master.", Cecil says darkly and jump onto Will's platform.
They exchange blows and parries, the platform getting close enough to the ground for Will to kick out Cecil that lands on the ground.
"It's over Anakin, I have the high ground !"
"You underestimate my power !"
"Don't try it", warns Will.
Cecil jumps from the ground towards Will that swings his sword and hit the son of Hermes's both legs.
Nico has to say he is little disappointed when the legs don't get cut off. He's sure his boyfriend is skilled to reattach them. It can't be more hard than arms.
Cecil crumples on the ground, sliding towards the lava pit while Will looks at him.
"You were the Chosen One ! It was said that you would destroy the Sith not join them ! Bring balance to the Force not leaving it in darkness !"
Will is screaming at Cecil, despair echoing in his voice.
"I HATE YOU !" yells back the son of Hermes as Will leaves him.
His boyfriend turns to Cecil, voice broken :
"You were my brother Anakin. I loved you."
Nico has never seen Will like this. Shoulders dropped, grim face with sadness written on it.
Maybe he isn't acting and Cecil really did something to him.
And he just stood there looking like an idiot while his boyfriend fought his ex best friend.
"Hey Will, everything's alright ?"
At the sound of his voice, Will's entire demeanor changes.
"Hello there !"
His face lightens up, a smile graces his features. Gone is the sad boyfriend he was looking at a second ago. In his place stands his goofy boyfriend in beige robes with what Nico can now see is a plastic tube.
"Yes, hi-"
"Breakup material !", Cecil screams from where he is laying the ground, lopsided unconcerned grin like he wasn't chilling one meter away from a pit of lava.
"Nah don't worry Neeks, this one I can forgive due to your special childhood."
"What on earth are you talking about ?"
"The cinematic masterpiece, the magnificent oeuvre d'art, a cultural revolution-"
"Star Wars. He's talking about Star Wars", Kayla cuts her brother off with an amused smile.
"Yes, that exactly. Star Wars."
"What is Star Wars ?"
Will lets out a long sigh.
"I see I have failed you too young Padawan !"
Kayla stifles a laugh at his expression whereas Cecil has no such survival instinct.
His laugh transforms into screams when skeletons hands erupts from the ground to catch him.
"Neeks we talked about using your underworld powers on Cecil", his boyfriends scolds him slightly.
"He deserves it. Now what is Star Wars ?"
"Come tonight at Apollo Cabin ! It's time for the Star Wars marathon !"
Kayla groans and shoots him a glare.
"Good job Nico ! It's going to be my fifth one ! I can only endure so much !"
"Nonsense ! Of Star Wars getting tired you cannot !".
Kayla notches an arrow and Will bolts out snickering :
"See you later Neeks !"
"Come back here you little green gremlin !"
"Yoda is not a gremlin ! He is a wise Jedi master that lived for hundred of- Kayla no ! You can't shoot your head counsellor !"
Austin and the rest start playing a lively tune as Kayla chases around her older brother.
A night cuddling his boyfriend watching movie seems like a great plan. But for now he'll just appreciate the view of Will running like a headless chicken, robes flowing in the wind.

Will: I SWEAR TO HADES
Kayla: here he goes
Will: "I can shadow-travel" SHADOW TRAVEL MY ASS
Will: WHY IS HE SO STUPID, IM SURE IF I GO SHAKIN' HIM 'ROUND THERE WOULD BE NOTHIN' IN HIS HEAD BUT A DVD LOGO THAT NEVER HITS A CORNER
Will: THERE'S NOTHIN' TO EVEN RATTLE IN HIS HEAD
Lou: what did he do
Will: "hey will, I can show you a trick" "nico, please don't use your underworld powers" "watch me!" proceeds to summon about five skeletons in sombreros for three seconds and drops completely unconscious
Will: like, jc, if you have a brain (which I doubt he does), at least use it
Will: even Ares cabin was easier to deal with when I just became a medic! and they were refusing to stay in the infirmary for more than an hour!
Will: gods, give me patience
Austin: not strength?
Will: if gods gave me strength, you'd all be dead
Cecil: gotta admit- that is true

Nico cannot get out of the stupid van fast enough, practically throwing himself out of the sliding door.
“You should kiss the ground, next,” comments Will drily, stepping out of the van like a normal person. (Easy for him. He got shotgun.) “Since you’re being so dramatic already.” He nudges Nico with his toe, who is sprawled out in the beautiful, beautiful grass, basking in the SoCal sun. “It was not that bad.”
“Easy for you to say!” Nico cracks open one eye to glare, which is hard to do when Will smiles so fondly at him. But he’s a professional. “You had legroom! I was cramped in the back with Cecil!”
“I have long legs,” Will says haughtily, at the same time Cecil calls out, “Hey!”
Nico plucks a handful of grass — dirt and roots and all — and chucks it at him. He relishes in the screeching.
“You let one loose in the back of the already rank-ass van with broken windows. You’re lucky you’re still alive, you fucking asshole.”
Cecil really is lucky to be alive, and he knows it, so he doesn’t say anything. Nico had truly almost killed him. It was Lou Ellen, on Cecil’s other side, who had begun absolutely wailing on the son of Hermes with her book that had satisfied Nico enough to refrain from gutting him.
“I still think Nico should have killed you,” Lou Ellen mutters, from her own sprawl of relief on the ground. “I also think I am never road tripping with you people ever, ever again.”
“Except for the drive back in three days,” Will points out, and the whole lot of them groan.
In truth, it wasn’t that bad. Sure, the camp van is pretty much older than Nico, and sure, they all should have considered the implications of Will claiming he had the music handled before committing themselves to getting stuck on the I-80 with it. Sure, Austin is a horrible driver (he freaking zig-zags through traffic like he’s allergic to sticking to one lane), and Leo’s constantly bouncing leg makes the whole van shake, and Piper snores when she sleeps (and she slept at least half the drive), and Kayla gets chip crumbs everywhere, and Lou Ellen — well, actually Lou Ellen is great. No issues. It’s everyone else who is a menace.
But, well.
Nico had fun. Not that he’ll ever admit it.
“Next time, we’re shadow travelling,” he grumbles, accepting Will’s hand up. Will squeezes twice and says, without missing a beat, “Not a chance, sunshine.”
“Well, then, we’re getting fucking plane tickets. Zeus can kiss my ass.”
Will’s laughter echoes all the way across the Little Tiber, louder than even the roar of warning thunder.

Will is not the mom friend because he is spiritually the youngest sibling forced to be the oldest sibling
Ahem, let me explain.
Growing up Will always had older siblings, right? Michael, Lee, etc. So obviously he had younger sibling privilege and could cause chaos without getting in trouble too much because he was too cute to be mad at for so long.
But then, well, the war happened. Will was forced to become the older sibling, but he had no idea what to fucking do.
Because he was used to other people looking out for him and telling him what to do. Which meant he wasn't used to him being the one doing that.
So I believe, to express his inner youngest child (because he had to grow up fast and set a good example for Kayla and Austin), Will is the most chaotic out of his friend group with Lou Ellen and Cecil. Lou Ellen is the resident mom friend and Cecil is the supportive friend that either encourages or joins Will's stupid decisions/shenanigans.
If you think otherwise...your wrong lol.
(Nico's version here)

just imagine game night at chb
ares is the god of games. do you know how competitive his children are? ellis wakefield almost slit cecil's throat when cecil implied that monopoly was just a game.
speaking of cecil, do you know how often he cheats? so much. so so much. he keeps monopoly money in his pockets at all times just in case.
most of the hermes kids do. alice and julia were banned from-- well from all games. partner games because they insisted on partnering with each other and then whenever they lose they would beat each other up, and single player games because they would team up until they were the last two left and then would ignore the board game and fight each other. will has a separate stack of infimary records for julia and alice game related incidents.
travis teaches the new kids how to cheat. he doesn't care to play himself he just enjoys teaching people how to cheat. how does he know all the cheats?
drew tanaka memorized all the cards from literally every trivia game they have. all of them. even the most obscure. she's not allowed to play trivia anymore.
travis still has the scar from the last time clarisse and annabeth played uno against each other. they were all 8.
lou ellen manipulates the mist to win. she's not good at art but goddamn if her pictionary drawings aren't VERY well done.
clarisse and chris are VERY competitive. silena and charles aren't. somehow, clarisse and beckendorf always end up a team. so do chris and silena. yeah that always ends well.
actually clarisse in general. she's banned from playing against annabeth (who is also banned from quite a few people herself), michael (again, digs his own grave), all of the hunters of artemis (when she began losing at monopoly she kicked the board off the table and started a brawl between fifteen people. phoebe's hair hasn't looked the same since)
connor refuses to cheat on any game but thinks it's the hottest thing ever when malcolm cheats.
speaking of which, malcolm cheats "badly" like half the time. he makes it obvious most of the time and then when he really wants to win you find out he's actually very good at monopoly cheating. you'll never know he's cheating.
whenever will bluffs he starts giggling. cecil banned him from poker for being an "affront to the very sport". yes, cecil thinks poker is a sport.
thalia and percy played monopoly together three days after she was un-tree-ified. the tree nymphs in that area of the woods are still scared of demigods.
and just what are they playing to win? just ask katie gardner-- or travis stoll. their weed and smuggling business is through the roof.

Nico: so they aren’t dating?
Will: no what would give you that impression?
Lou Ellen who has her legs swung over Cecil’s lap, one arm wrapped around his shoulder, the other holding his free hand as he writes something down:
Nico: oh I don’t know…
