“Sometimes I forget you’ve been all over this continent,” said Nico. “I mean, I’ve been a lot of places, too, but mostly since coming to Camp Half-Blood. Do you ever miss traveling?”
“Occasionally,” said Will. “But I think it was more that I liked being with my mom. She has such an adventurous spirit. It’s hard not to feel the same way when you’re around her and she wants to go see the world’s biggest ball of twine or something.”
I love that Naomi Solace is a great mom, like I’ve always headcanon her to be. 🥹🥰

“Excuse me, Noble McSacrifice,” Will said. “We’re both perfectly capable of survival.”
Chiron’s hooves clopped nervously on the floorboards. “But a child of Apollo in Tartarus?”
Will’s face fell. “I can manage.”

“It was a constant pattern for Nico: find some sort of solace and comfort, only to have it ripped away. Now here was Solace in his lap, sleeping like a baby. What would come and tear him away?”

“I’d rather do almost anything else,” Nico countered. “Can the guy even make it through a single conversation without sarcasm, an insult, or a combination of the two?” Will grinned. “Can you?”
Will you cheeky bastard! 😂😂

“I remember when I realized... when I knew that this was more than a friendship.”
That made Nico smile despite himself. “I remember my moment, too.”
Will’s eyes filled with tears. “I think mine is different than yours.”
“But I know mine happened first,” Nico said.”

“Do you ever think about what life would be like if you weren’t a demigod?” he asked.
Will jerked away from him. “What? Why would you say that, Nico?”
“It’s just a question.”
“No, I don’t ever think about that.” Will gazed into the distance. “I think about all the wonderful experiences I’ve had because of who I am. I’ve gotten to help people—to save their lives, Nico!—and I’ve protected the world from imminent danger.”
Then he gave Nico one of his soul-warming smiles. “I can heal people. I can glow in the dark. And... well, I met you.”
“Oh, gods,” groaned Nico. “No cheesiness! It’s too early in the day, Will!”
Will snuggled up to him. “But it’s true. I’m very thankful we’re in each other’s lives.”
“You cheated with that answer,” said Nico, “but I’ll allow it.”
Will planted a kiss on Nico’s temple. “My grumpy ball of darkness.”
“The world’s largest grumpy ball of darkness, thank you very much.”
These two are insufferable sweet and cheesy and I LOVE IT! 🥹🥰🙌

“I remember how sad I was when you left to go find Percy,” Will said to Nico. “When he disappeared.”
“You were sad? But... did we even know each other then?”
“Maybe not as close friends or anything, but... but I was drawn to you. Maybe it was because you were so mysterious. Maybe it was because you kept pushing everyone away whenever they tried to be your friend.”

“Will approached the mass of boulders. He took another deep breath and started into a soft, winding melody. It was a familiar one to Nico—he’d heard Will sing it when he was using his healing abilities on someone. As Will’s voice rose and fell, Nico saw small green shoots sprout up from the ground around him. A few of them bloomed yellow flowers.”
Am I supposed to conclude that Will’s voice is so beautiful he make flowers bloom when he sings? 👀😂

“Will smiled, and warmth washed over Nico. “Can I hold you? Would that be okay with you?”

“When the tears spilled and his body shook, Nico turned to Will and cried into his shoulder.
Nico wasn’t sure how long they stayed like that. He imagined Will would’ve held him for an eternity if that’s what he’d needed.”

“Don’t let go of me,” he said, holding his Stygian iron sword before him. “No matter what happens.”
Will clutched him tightly. “I got you”

“We had defeated Gaea. You were standing in the doorway of your cabin.”
Will laughed softly. “I remember that, too. I think I scolded you pretty hard.”
“You did,” confirmed Nico. “But it was the way you did it. You made it clear that you wanted me around. You said you wanted me to come to the infirmary and help, because... because you could use a ‘friendly face.’”
“It was true. And you did help.”
“You brought me closer instead of rejecting me,” Nico said, his voice cracking. “I’d never been called a friendly face. Ever. You made me rethink everything—my place in camp, my crush on Percy, my future. It took you scolding me like you were the camp director to make me realize that I was... wanted.”
“Gorgyra sniffled, then wiped her eyes. “You’ll have to excuse me,” she said. “It is hard not to react to something like that.”
Honestly, same Gorgyra. 😭😭😭

“Nico frowned. “So, you’ve basically become like one of those annoying notifications in a video game reminding me to complete a side mission.”
LOL I bet that the thought of slapping Nico crossed Rachel’s mind. 😂😂😂

“And... you’re sure we’re not still in a nightmare?”
Nico inched closer and gave him a quick kiss. “That feel like a nightmare?”
Will smiled. “No.”
“Correct answer. Now come on. Just stick close and watch your step.”

“Nico had a drink, then gave the canteen back to Will. “Why would I? It perfectly describes the fact that light just erupted from your chest.”
“Don’t Care Bears shoot their energy from their stomachs?”
Nico waved that off. “An unimportant detail. Have you been holding out on me? Did you know you could do that?”
“Not really,” Will said. “But ever since I found out I could glow, I’ve been thinking that if my skin could emit light, maybe I could eventually project it outward.”
I knew that Will would eventually figure out how his light powers work and learn to use them for much more than just making his skin glow. And he didn’t disappoint!

“You’re supposed to be good at this,” Meg grumbled.
Will’s hands began to glow, dully at first, then brighter, until his body illuminated the sewer culvert. He pressed his fingers into Nico’s cheeks, tears running down his face, but Nico wasn’t responding. In fact, the color in Nico’s whole body was disappearing, so he looked like he belonged in an old television show.
“I can do this!” Will said, sobbing. “I can save you!”
Nico’s eyes opened, but they were milky white.
“No,” he said, smiling coldly. “You can’t.”
He grabbed Will’s wrist. Will yelped in protest. His light began to drain away, flowing into Nico’s body. As Nico’s color returned, he sat up and pushed Will to the ground while the others looked on approvingly.
“Finally, you’re good for something,” Lester said. “You make an excellent spare battery.”
😭 this scene made me so sad. Because no way any of them think that Will is useless, or not good enough. His self-doubt was used to hurt him. I just wanted to hug him😭.
(Will glows while using his healing powers!)
