piercings & polyamory
a/n: i know this is totally out of my usual niche but when inspiration hits after literal months you gotta take advantage of it yk yk
content: nico di angelo x will solace x reader, they/them reader, reader is a hermes kid
warnings: vague description of a home done piercing, piercer knows what they’re doing but is not licensed
- nico di angelo is as close to a professional piercer that camp has.
- nico himself is covered in piercings- it seems every body part of his that can be is covered in black and silver, and tiny accents of gold.
- you are, by far, nico’s favorite “customer.”
- he always loves piercing will, but there’s something about the way you wring your hands while he marks out the piercing, something about the way his sheets bunch up in your fists when he pushes the needle through.
- nico gives you five piercings over the course of two years.
- will sits in for number four- it’s not uncommon for him to hang around the hades cabin.
- after it’s done, after nico carefully slides the jewelry into your lip and you grab his hands and thank him profusely, after you press a few drachmas into his hands despite his insistence that he doesn’t charge and close the door behind you, will rounds on nico immediately.
- “you like them!”
- nico knew that, of course, he wasn’t that emotionally unaware.
- however, whenever he imagined his boyfriend finding out about the secret he thought he’d hid so well, he’d never imagined the joy currently in will’s voice.
- nico met his boyfriend’s eyes slowly.
- “is that… okay?”
- will looked surprised for a second before sitting down next to nico.
- “neeks- did we- did we never have this conversation? wait, ok- nico,” will grabbed both of nico’s hands in his. “hi. i’m your boyfriend. i’m polyamorous. do you have something to tell me?”
———
- while you were showing off your new nico-piercing to your cabinmates, the door to the hermes cabin banged open.
- will solace entered, calling your name, and your cabinmates (the traitors) laughed and pushed you towards him.
- your heart sped up- you’d been nervous about will sitting in on the piercing, because you always felt like your suppressed crush on the son of hades was so much clearer when you were sat in his bed, pliable underneath his hands.
- it was in the same way that your feelings for will felt like they were being dragged out of your chest and right onto your face when he softly sings to you in the infirmary after you’re injured.
- will led you to an abandoned corner of the yard, where nico stood waiting for both of you.
- nico started talking as soon as you came to a standstill, not giving you a chance to get a word in.
- “ok, i don’t wanna give you the wrong impression. you don’t have to answer right now, and if you say no, it doesn’t change anything, i’ll keep piercing you just like anyone else, but-” nico gently grabbed will’s hand. “i like you. like, romantically. and will likes you too, also romantically. and we wanna know if… you’d go out with us?”
- will just nodded along, letting nico dominate the conversation.
- that… hadn’t been what you were expecting.
- it wasn’t like the possibility of polyamory with the two had never crossed your mind - it had crossed your mind a lot - but only ever as a fantasy! you had never expected it to become an actual possibility.
- but you weren’t gonna let such a good opportunity pass you by- “yeah! of- of course i’d want that!”
- will’s face broke into a grin, and nico had a small smile.
- “cool,” nico muttered, pink slowly creeping up his cheeks.
- will chuckled and grabbed your hand with his free one. “yeah, cool! now, how about dinner? the three of us?”
