Nico walked into the infirmary with his hands in his pockets, easily navigating the rooms to find Will.

Will was sitting on the cot, scribbling something down on the clipboard in his hands when he walked in. He looked up when Nico closed the door, smiling.

"Hey," he said, and Nico smiles, walking over to peck Will's lips, "What up?" Will asks, hand dropping down to Nico's waist.

"It's lunchtime," Nico said, "I thought I'd drag you out of here." Will snorts, tossing his clipboard aside. He grabs Nico's hand as he stands and they walk to the dining hall together.

Once they have their food, Nico leads Will away from all the benches, saying he wanted to sit and eat in the grass.

"I can shadow travel us to that little spot in the woods so we can be alone," Nico offers and Will wiggles his eyebrows.

"Trying to get me alone, hm?" Nico rolls his eyes.

"Shut up," he says, "not like that." Will laughs, wrapping his arm around Nico.

"I'd love some alone time with you," He says, voice low, and Nico groans, telling him to 'shut up' again.

They ate their lunch rather quickly, and if they ended up kissing a bit, no one had to know.
