"Merda." Nico cursed in Italian. He was trying to help Will in the infirmary by cutting bandages but he kept messing up. They were either too big or too small or something. "What's that mean?" Will asked absent-mindedly. Two Ares campers had gotten in a fight earlier in the day and one was fine, but the other had a fairly nasty cut on his arm. Will was applying some type of medication to the wound. "Nothing appropriate." Nico muttered. "Alright James. You can go. Don't be fighting and you won't have to worry about this." Will told the boy. He nodded and left the infirmary. Will turned his full attention to Nico. "Seriously, what's it mean? I kinda want to learn Italian. You speak it a lot. And to be honest, it kinda turns me on." Nico blushed hard. "Well, it's a bad word." Nico said. "But I'll teach you if you really want to learn." Will laughed. "It's a bad word? What are we, six?" He stuck his bottom lip out. "My mommy said I can't say that. She said it's a bad word." Nico had to laugh. Will came over and sat down beside him on an empty cot, pushing all of the bandages Nico had cut to the side. "So, what's my first lesson, Mr. Di Angelo?" Will asked. Nico rolled his eyes. "Okay, well, what do you want to learn?" Nico asked. "Um... What's medic? Oh, and music? And Apollo?" Nico grinned. "Okay, medic is medico." Will nodded slowly. "Medico. I'm a medico." Nico laughed. "Good. Okay, music is musica." Will nodded again, saying the word slowly. "And Apollo is still Apollo." Will nodded. "Simple enough. How do you say I am?" Nico grinned, happy Will was excited to learn. "Sono."

"Okay. Sono Will Solace." Nico nodded. "Good!" Will grinned as his ears turned red. "Sono medico." Nico nodded again. "Okay, what is you are?"

"Tu sei."

"Tu sei Nico di Angelo." Will said. Nico was impressed. "What's my?" Will asked. "Il mio." Nico replied. "Boyfriend?" Will asked. "Fidanzato." Nico said, a smile creeping back across his face. "I love you?"

"Ti amo."

Will cleared his throat. "To sei il mio fidanzato. Ti amo." Nico grinned even bigger. "Ti amo anch'io Will." Will grinned. "You know I'll probably all this by tomorrow morning." He said. Nico laughed and shrugged. "Oh well." He said before leaning in to kiss Will.
