Summary
"... [And] Mateo told him all about the people he’d lost in the siege on Mount Othrys, and his dorky obsession with a certain movie genre (horror, in his case), and that Nico was worth falling in love with." - you're a flashback in a film reel, Chapter 6.
(How Nico came the closest he ever did to falling for someone else and getting over Will, before they met again, and it still wasn't enough.)

Summary
After fifteen years of knowing about gods and monsters, Will would have thought nothing could surprise him anymore. Demigods learn young to expect the unexpected, and he maybe knows that even better than most. But coming home from Saturday roommate brunch, seven years after Nico broke his heart and just a few months after the long-time-coming breakdown finally ruined his life, to find Nico barely-conscious and bleeding on his doorstep—that’s a little outside the range of life complications even Will would usually account for.
And it definitely wasn’t in Nico's plans. He's finally trying to get his life back together; he doesn’t need to have it derailed by Will’s stupid face and eyes and shoulders. But evidently, the universe—or the Fates—or maybe some deity in particular—has other ideas.

Summary
It’s not even so much that Will was jealous of the idea Nico might be out with some hot guy(s), so soon after their whole pre-Christmas… catastrophe. It’s more like—the idea that maybe he could just go back to normal. Bounce back like it was nothing.
But it’s New Year’s Eve. Of course he’s out at a party with friends. That doesn’t mean anything about how he’s actually feeling. After all—isn’t Will supposed to be out at a party with friends too?

Summary
In the eight months since the last time Will saw Nico face-to-face—it’s not like they haven’t been friendly, and not like that hasn’t been a vast improvement over how things were before, but they haven’t entirely figured out how to be friends again, either. Not yet.

Summary
It’s been a year and a half since Aphrodite’s shitshow, since they finally processed the things they never had and agreed to move on, and how many times has Will made it clear they’re fine now? Not that they really talk about it in so many words anymore, but that’s because they shouldn’t have to. They’re friends. Not close ones, but friends. And Nico has a boyfriend. So why on earth is he calling Will, right now, to do this?

Summary
“Okay. Will. Do we need to just have sex now and get it over with?”
“Do we—what,” says Will, flatly. The part of his brain that remembers how to enunciate a question just melted too.
