(Still Wills POV)

The past few days, I've barely been able to talk to Nico, sure, we would talk about the weather and such while I came in for a daily check-up, but I had other patients to take care of. Ever since the Hecate cabin was built, we've had more Hecate kids in camp, which means more magical mischief causing other campers harm.

Nico was finally well enough to leave, and I was going to bring him to my secret spot in the woods. No one else knows about it, not even the monsters, so I go there when I need to be alone. I decided to bring Nico there, because, after all, he was my soulmate. The woods was probably a good place to get to know each other undisturbed.

Nico's POV

I was walking around camp, stretching my legs. (Three days of sleep works miracles for your energy levels, but your legs get soooooo stiff!) When Will came up to me. "Um, Nico?" He said.

"Yeah?"

"Uhh... come with me?"

"Okay?" I mocked his questioning tone.

"Hey!" He pouted, then we both burst out laughing. That was the first time he actually seemed truly comfortable with me. "It's this way." I followed him.

We ended up in a clearing in the woods, a large rock acting as the centerpiece. Will hopped up on the rock and patted the space next to him. I tried to get there but just couldn't make it. He had to help me up. Stupid tall people and their crazy ability to annoy me SO EASILY. Well, apparently he saw me getting upset, because the next words out of his mouth were "Nico what's wrong?"

"Why is everyone so much taller than me?!?"

"Hazel isn't."

"She better not be." I complained. He just laughed. We talked like that for about an hour or so, until we got to a deeper topic.

"Hey Nico?"

"Yeah?"

"While Hazel was visiting, I heard you accidentally call her "Bi". What's that all about?"

(Ooohhh suspenseful ending. I'll probably update more later.)
