Nico Di Angelo Headcanon - Tumblr Posts

Solangelo/Nico di Angelo headcanon (being needy with friends and family and Will Solace)

i like to think that loved ones sometimes brings back the past-nico out of nico. like he gets cuddly and needy and annoy-ie around his precious people.

yeah...nico being grumpy and pretending he doesnt like hugs but he actually does and sometimes he conflicted abt it but he still really really like physical touch from the people he loves and adores bc it makes him felt save–

afshdjjjw no. hes just openly show u hes a touchy guy.

in my headcanon hes just very chill with it when he gets along well with u. if he likes u a lot, like, a whole lot, families brothers sisters will solace level, he will cling, onto you, like a koala, legit going to die if he lets u go.

imagine will, hasnt dated nico yet at that point, only very good friends, hugs him suddenly out of nowhere bc he thinks it will make nico surprised and be blushy and shy and angry and stuff, but actually, nico just, giggles (will had no idea he is capable of that), leans more into his arms and allows himself to be fulled with warmth and affection, forever.

hazel too, when nico being sad and not wanting ppl to be worried about him, shes just angrily sighs and gives him the biggest hug, telling him, whether he liked or not, everyone will always be worried about him, they wanted to make him happy, loved, adored, comfy, warm and deserved and belonged and loved. AND most importantly, being with him when he needed. so he should never be sad abt it. but the thing is, hazel honey, he already feels ok and swell the moment u hugged him. saying those emotional and heartfelt things just make him all sad and teary again. its worsen.

reyna the exception, knows this and she takes full advantage of it. whenever she and nico debate about something, idk kfc being superior than mcdonald ig and they get heated, nico about to drop his sword, his face is dark with rages, veins popping off on his neck, hands gripping so hard it could bleed any second—so reyna, power walk over him, with the same amount of anger and aggressively- embrace him. surprise surprise, it works, really well. ALL of nico's angers went out like wet sands dunk on small flashes of fire, they set out for pizza after that, with an embarrassed nico and amused reyna.

jason does this too sometimes, when he gets bored and wanna hangout with someone, aside from piper or leo of course. so nico, having will's disney and rom-com movies ready, with lots of snacks, pillows, blankets, never forget hugs as he quickly melts into jason's side and enjoying their boys night. they waked up with tense shoulders and hurted spine but hugged it out and everything's all ok.

again with will, but now, officially a (very cute) couple. to will, nico cuddles and snuggles with him a lot, like a LOT, but, its a little...different.

you see will, in the infirmary, talking, giving instructions, doing his job then boom–its hugging hours, u see nico clinging on his back like a life support.

you see will, in the training area, giving good archery advices for his siblings and other campers, shot a bird instead of the target, snap a bone back into place, the usual, then mother of percy–well would u look at that! snuggy cuddy huggy willy time! and nico literally materialized out of nowhere, running like a mad man and do the smoothest back flip right into will's front body, almost break his back in half, but will, despite the pain, hugs him back nonetheless.

you see will, scared of something, pointing a scapel at the shadow, waiting for something to pop out of it, then sighs, feeling ridiculous to himself, but it doesnt end there of course, a noise catches his heart, will tensed up immediately, shivering, dropping, a loud metal sound echos and when he looks back at his hand, he held no more the weapon that keep him safe. thats right...u guess it!–its cuddlinggggg timeeeee! and will being the terrified lil golden retriever he is, try to hide and run away but the predator caught up to him so quick he couldnt even blink. then what happened? eh nothing really, he gets choke–smother with loves and nico, thats just—yeah, call his siblings annabeth, red alert.

you see will, tired, kinda looked like hes accepting his fate now, with opened arms and closed eyes, hes just gave out his last prayer to his dad, figures it wouldnt do shit and the clock ticks and will flinches. ah...always on time i see nico? literally, zero point one second later, a dark humanoid ball flying into wills arms and you can hear cracks so loud it makes u hisses and cringes. but will, amazing man he is, smiles the most sunny shiny smiles he has and hugs that dark humanoid ball with everything dear to him. ignore the tears

Solangelo headcanon (ft. some Apollo cabin contents)

Will nagged his siblings and Nico about unhealthy food but he makes the best unhealthy food. His specialty is Nashville hot fried chicken and chili cheese fries. Whenever Nico craves for something to eat, he asked Will to cook for him. And despite Will mother henning Nico, he always puts extra sauce in it.

Nico often helps Will with the infirmary. At the end of the day, Will gives him cheesy and funny stickers, or some kit kat bars and vitamin C.

Nico keeps every single one of them stickers and stick it on his friend's gifts, like Annabeth's books, Percy's fancy blue pen, Gover's "SAVE THE NATURE" shirt, Hazel's cards box, Jason Frank and Reyna's BIG bottle of seashells and cute small things they sometimes collected together, Piper and Leo's huge treasure-like box with cool Rachel's drawings, where he contained all of the precious things from above, which comforted and reminded him about his friend's presence.

Nico has a different box for Will, not because he treats Will differently, of course not, it just cause Will gifted him a LOT of stuff, like, bouquet of paper flowers Will made with his siblings, picture book full of him and Will together or Nico's other friends in their daily life (he cried with every pages flipped, im so sorry), Disney movies, old music discs, romance books, comics, you name it.

Nico definitely had bad days, and it never should've been taken lightly. Like it's very bad, he just woke up and the universe decided to hurt him. He had flash back from wars and battles, panic attacks, nightmares, Bianca's last memories, disturbing thoughts, claustrophobic, paralyzation from the fear, Cupid, in which, all he wanted is talks and hugs. So if that day comes, he will always put a string telephone outside of his cabin's door, waiting.

Will noticed it, it became his daily routine actually. Wakes up, prepares for the day, walks past the Hades cabin, sees if there's something in front of the door, if not, the day starts normally, if yes, well, there's Will. So he looks at the cup, connected with the other one on the other side and understood. Immediately heads out to get Nico's food, talked to Chiron, Mr D, his siblings and back to Nico. He will knock, and the other side will knock back, he will set the food down, grab the cup and willingly talk to Nico until he's ok again. He will never do, but that's alright, because when Nico open the door, crying, Will will always be there, they will hug, eat, hug again and Will staying by his side the rest of the day. Occasionally drags him to the infirmary when emergency comes up or walks somewhere with him when requested.

Nico and Will have movie nights all the time. Usually alone, often with his siblings, friends, rarely with Will's other friends, but mostly alone.

Nico loves Disney movies, he adores it. He gets blushy with romantic scenes, small giggles when funny looking characters and ridiculous lines, sad and teary when he realized something in the middle of the film, furrows his eyebrows when he focuses in the drama. Will watches all of it, fascinated by how expressive Nico is.

Mr D gifted Nico an old record player (ppl like giving him stuff ok, its his love languages too) and he remembered Will had given him some old country and worn out musical discs, so him being happy one day, while cleaning his room, turns the music on and slow dancing to it.

Will loves it when Nico asked him for a dance, nothing fancy like in the movie and stuff. Just, swaying their bodies close to Mr D's record player, holding shoulders, holding hands, soft chuckles, blushing cheeks, tenderness in their eyes, gentleness in their hearts, whispers, only for them to hear, the background music humming old 80s songs, Nico hums with it, not even embarrassed at the slightest, only grateful for everything. Its...Will just, loves it, a lot.

Being with Nico di Angelo is the best gifted anyone could have bestowed onto William Andrew Solace.

Nico always sits with Will and his cabin when there's campfire. He pretends to not like their campfire songs but secretly vibing with it and unfortunately, they knows so they love Nico even more.

Will having bad days, too. When he overworked himself and getting trauma attacks from all of his patient's injuries, flash-backs to the battle of Manhattan, where people died in his arms, the majority of the Apollo cabin, Will being the head counselor in the middle of chaos, mistook Nico as an angel of death, coming here to bring all of the demigods dead souls away, watched people actually died and eaten and killed and him not being able to do a single thing other than healed Annabeth and the other demigods and the Gaea battle and more dead bodies, now including Romans as well and Will just, couldn't stop it, couldn't be strong. He broke down on that day, drown himself in sleeps and empty dreams. So whenever that happens, he always hang his clean flannel shirt on the bench outside of the cabin, waiting.

And just like Will, Nico will notice him being late for breakfast, see the shirt because Will's flannel shirts always have the unique Will's and make him have that comfy feelings (Nico only wanted to oh so dam much cuddle in it). Nico will signal his siblings and they will nod, signal back, he will walk over to the bench, take the shirt, wear it and casually walk into the Apollo cabin. Nico will go bare footed to Will's bed, flop down, hug him, and he will know that's Nico and he will turn, look at him, smile, cry and burry himself deep in Nico's wamth. Minutes later, his siblings will bring food, joining in the comfort, biggest group hugs, biggest hearts. It didn't make him forget all about the bad stuffs and dead people, no, but that's ok, that's alright, because right now, he's with his most beloved family and that's matter to him. It always does.

When Nico's friends left the Camp Half-blood in separated ways, he spends most of his time with the Apollo cabin, he may not admit it, but he loves them as if they were his family. There will be always musical yelling, cries in saxophone, laughs in violin, judges in guitar, angry in ukulele and Will with his sibling's haikus, but, that's what Nico signed up for.

Nico and the Apollo cabin having some mini concerts. They go absolutely bonkers when Nico plays the kazoo. Will loves it when Nico cringed at the Rick Rolls.

They build pillow fortress! And sleep together. The siblings always wake up first just to giggle at Will and Nico hugging each other like their life depends on it.

Will and Nico made friendship bracelets for each other, their wrists have 3-5 bracelets on them. Nico's the neat and arty braids one with accessories, Will's the too difficult and pro-DIY one with special good luck knots. Lots of colors, but one just has yellow, butter, honey, sky blue, lapis strings with square beads say 'Will' and one black, then rainbow strings with square beads say 'Nico'.

the headcanon being nico coming out to will is so soft to me, its just so nice, like hes there, for nico and he accepted him. plus nico being brave and comfortable enough to come out to will (its more special bc the Cupid incident had left a big scar in him and its supposedly traumatizing to think abt it, let alone coming out. means, nico must have trusted will a lot and cried all days and nights bc of it).

they talk and talk and probably sleep on others shoulders and when they wake up, they open more and more, their relationship take turns, steady, careful, a bit concerns here and there but overall they definitely need times to get together, they feel the need to be there, to talk, not to fix, not to change, not to make the others do things just because they thought it will be ok or right or smth. No. genuinely be theirs, be their comfort, be their shoulder to lean on, be their hands to hold, be their pillow to cry in, be their walls, be their mirror that wont laugh, be their person that do not attempt to fix and look at them for who they are, just, be there for them. "hey", "hi", "you're here", "im always here", "yeah...i just cant get rid of u huh?" but deep inside its, "im glad you existed, im glad you're here, im glad you're with me. im glad for you, right now, so that tomorrow can wait".

most importantly, they knowed whats wrong with the other and they are patient with them. they may not knowed everything abt what is right or what is wrong, but they have experienced what the other had, or simply related or in their spots. children, teenagers, they are emotional, their emotions are not blank, whoever they are, for certain will and nico, they are not insensitive. it takes one to know one, they are not in common mostly but they have literally gone through shit holes, whether they liked it or not, both of them, so being a kid and having misfortunes for just existing, they need the help and support they can get, they know not to push it away, they know whats wrong with them, but through battles through wars through burdens, they rather thought abt people, than themselves.

and its just...very sad to think that—both of them have cared so much but also like, not cared at all.

Solangelo headcanon (where Will's and Will in general drive Nico insane)

He takes everything involving Will and Will himself seriously, i like to think Nico take Will Solace literally, he is not dense, he's aware, very much aware of things.

Nico doesn't take lightly the "i like you" in a platonic way, and Will just genuinely drops them everywhere possible.

gods hes doing that lovey-dovey smiley of his again "Nico?", "...hm?", "i like you" i know i am very sure of it at this point, "Will, you...you can't just say it so easily, it's not something to—tell someone you hardly understand that much, other than a friend, that you like them or whatever. it's strange, confusing even. i suggest you shouldn't blatantly throw those words around, without actually mean it", "no i do" of course you do "Will—", "i do mean it, everything about it, i do", "but Will it's...i don't understand, like, why?" why me, for how long, how much, how...can you hold this much affection, and why is it for me? "Nico i will never stop saying it" its too good to be true, "i will never stop liking you, i like you so much Nico, i really do—i like you, i like you a lot, if i don't always say it, you wouldn't know, you would forget and i don't want that, i want you to know how much affection a person like me can give to a person like you, even if it just, words, i meant everything i've said" literally, how.

unfair. incredibly, unfair. William Andrew Solace is unfair. hes not real. i cant do this i cant i cant—

Nico doesn't take lightly the "pet names", so whenever Will adds in those love, sweetheart, darlin', angel, beloved, beautiful,...he will think about it, nonstop, it will be the only thing he has on his head that day.

"hey, sunshine", "what—", "how's it hanging gorgeous?" not great please stop, "uhh", "pff—you look adorable angel, what's wrong, need some help with those hands of yours? i could hold them", "gods why are you so—so the thing—so obnoxious this early of the day, hades's sake its 8 a.m Will", "nothing is too early when it comes to you", "i—what?", "beloved, i can't get enough of you, every time of date" strangely, me neither.

Nico doesn't take lightly Will's physical things, how he occasionally feathery, sneaky, mischievous touches Nico without the eye of people. He doesn't like it, he doesn't know how to act towards it, he also hates how he fell for it, always, every time. He hates how it's so special, like, only to him, to Nico. He hates how private it is, how Will's troubled if Nico wouldn't like it or uncomfortable with it. no, in reality, he hates how he loves them dearly.

"what?", "what...?" stop messing with my fingers when you can just intertwine with it, "what? do you need something?", "oh no, sorry i um, accidentally—did that. i didn't—i'm so sorry. i'm kinda fidgeting, sorry again if i, if i, well..." i know you want it "i don't mind" i know you worried about me, "pardon?" i know this is not something you would do without my consent, "it's ok, what you want, it's ok" i dont know why i do not like it when you're so careful and gentle with me, "i don't mind at all, you don't have to worry" you dont have to ask for my permission, "...alright" since when did i ever reject you.

since when did your touches become such a mindful thing to me.

his hand is gentle and comforting, it's embracing mine nicely.

And he ABSOLUTELY doesn't take lightly Will, as in, a person, in existence, like how can he be allowed—how can there be a Will at all? Nico just doesn't understand. He doesn't take Will lightly, literally, literally everything about him—his sunny smile, too sky blue vision, brightest of bright blond hair, his gentle and warm and calm and chill nature, his counsellor's leadership to his siblings but lingering family love and they never take him seriously for the leader he is, just Will, as everybody's big brother, his voice—gods his voice—and him, as a whole, meat and blood and something something—person—ok Nico doesn't know he's just—he's just going to lose it this is too much. He doesn't want to knoww, he hates it,he hates it so much, he hates how he "more than like" the boy, he hates Will, no he actually not of course not, how could he, but he still is and he—he hates how he takes Will so seriously, he can't think of the boy as, friends, only more, more than that.

he always smiles, when did this happen. thats smille, when did it become a thing to me, "why are you so happy all the time?" why are you so nice, so lovely, "i get to spend time with you, why not", ive heard this sentences for more than 10 times, but it keeps getting me burned, "you always say that", "but it's true" i wish it wasn't, you are difficult i dont like difficult people, "i'm not even that fun to be around and it's not like, you're free all the time, you should have forgotten about me, it's easier that way", "and you always say that, Nico, no of course not, i like spending time with you, you're amazing and i would skip everything if it means hanging out with my favorite person, why can't that get into your thick skull" i dont like you, you are hard to read, i dont like being unable to understand you, "everyone's your favorite person", "yeah well, you're the best to me", "your ranks mean nothing" im sorry, i dont want to hurt you, i want to say that i like you too and hanging out with you is something i look forward to all the time, i like you Will "...Nico", "what?", "is something bothering you?" you, why you, why did it feel right, why did i have these feelings for you, "nothing, just—" you you you you Will Solace you, "i...don't like you", "oh..." wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong, "no no—not like that, it's weird—you're weird. i don't know how to do things, with you, it's frustrating, you're...frustrating", "oh...oh ok" i like you i like you i like you i like you, "so you don't hate me?" i like you i like you i like you, "...no, unfortunately no", "that's nice to hear", "...i guess", "it also means that you like me" yes i do, "no i do not", "i like you too Nico" its getting harder to breathe, "i like you a lot, really, you're wonderful, truly the best, to me. i like you so much. i like you. Nico, you, only you. i like you" how can a 'me too' so hard to get out now

his heart gave up on him.

somehow, Will is impossible, and somehow Nico's starting to understand Will's i like you.

When Nico ends it all, all of these—confusing things and Will, processing, surprise, stunned, exhilarated, his smile slowly drops and his tear slowly sheds, not because he's heartbroken, no, far from that, he just, overly happy. Nico knows what this is about now, he knew but also, he didn't know, back then, gods, it was so raw and he just kept denying it. It was so clear, blatantly clear, exposed, naked, to him. And now he will not ignore it.

Oh, that's love, alright.

"you're unreal" but at the same time you're not, "um ok? what's the matter Nico—", "i like you", "...oh—", "i like you, no, actually no not that, i love you" it sounds like a dream isnt it, "wait wait wait—slow down—", "i love you so much, Will, i genuinely, do. so much that it's getting out of hands, so much that it gets on my nerve every time I thought of you, and i am so, so pissed that 'til now, i somehow managed to get it out", it sounds like a fantasy to me too, "i love you, nothing like Percy's, no, frick that guy, you're not Percy, you're Will, and i would die for you, truly, i love you. i'm sorry, i'm sorry that i took so long to realize that, i'm sorry you have to put up with my arrogance, i'm sorry that i keep refusing my feelings, to back down my pride and admitting my undying love for you, i'm sorry. i love you, Will, only you, i love you and i will never stop saying it, i will never stop loving you"

and Nico opens his eyes, astonishingly watching, as Will turns from shock, sad, blushing mess to unbelievable to overwhelmed to choking on his own emotions to so so glad, he cries.

"gods fuck shit—Nico i—o-oh shit—damn it sorry—give me a moment please i—"

stumbling, trembling, stammering, stuttering, crumbling,...thats a new Will Nico didn't think he gets to see his full whole life.

"i love you"

despite every Will's i like you, just one Nico's i love you and he is far-gone.

Nico is also, a very difficult person.

fanfic writers my beloved, you have made miracles with those Solangelo's sexual-tension-be-like-oh-you-are-so-gorgy-i-be-lovey-sniff-sniff scenes, where they just gaze into the other's eyes and wonder expectations. making all of us readers scream in pain and loneliness.

but headcanon they are just very straight forward and shy and being the awkward teenger they are, trying to get it.

Nico: Hello William.

Will: hi

Nico: I have this block of sugary thing that my dearest sister has handsomely honored upon.

Will: oh Hazel made a cake? thats very nice of her

Nico: Indeed.

long pause

Nico: Apologies, my good friend. For spoons have not assisted with me here. And forks are forever begone. I can not accompany you and have this nourishment together.

Will: oh ok, well, let me go get some spoons then—

Nico: Blasphemy.

Will: ok

more long ass pause

Will: well im just gonna eat it later, u really dont wanna? Hazel made them for you too

Nico: Fear not, William. It is I who requested her such edible treasure, but I too, wanted nothing more but rejoice them proudly to you.

Will: aw...even tho they are chocolate?

Nico: That is, a misfortune.

Will: hm i thought you like chocola—

Nico: Hold one's tongue! Such sinful judges. I do not, William Andrew Solace, you have failed me once again.

Will: oh darn sorry

another long sweaty pause

Will: you wanna kiss?

Nico: oh my goodly gods, finally, you are so annoying i hate you so much why are you like this why—is this one of your many stupid hobbies for gods sake—

some chaotic Solangelo headcanons im thriving

Will "hi" and Nico "greeting" when encountering monsters

"is this coffee?", "no, Will. that's tea", "oh", "wtf are you guys talking abt thats clearly milk???"

Will menacingly stands outside of Nico's cabin, trying to ask for a date at 2:00PM

they exchange the most cheesiest letters for each other on random days and it's usually Nico's heart-felt, romantic, hit with the feels "i love you to death" and Will's short, wholesome, what is this language "you're my little pogchamp". on days, both of them read it, and on days, they are fucking done. they can never talk to each other for weeks without cringing crying yelling and dying

Nico doesn’t swear. He's the "language"-ing guy. Especially to Will

"oh sh—", "language", "—sh-shard-borne dingus! i breaky my fingy!"

Will curses a lot but with Nico he just switches it with Shakespearian insults, "Will you're a bitch", "hey! how dare you—", "oh no Nico! it's ok—", "fuck you too Nico!", "now listen here, you ubiquitous cloven-hoved special little chucklefucker, you are a, excuse me Nico, a nostalgic milk-livered wanger who would fuck maggots with his onion-eyed boner, how dare you rat bastard says those words to my loveliest significant other!", "oh that's definitely not gonna get a language from me, you go and drop those bars babe" , "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUC—???"

Nico beating up Ares kids with his bare hands and they love him for it

Will treating Ares kids like, everyday (mainly because of Nico) and they love him for it

Nico talks a lot, about things, he would go full on presentations to Will about, extremely stupid stuffs like, how cats don't eat shoes and are better than dogs but dogs give you cuddles and laugh in barks so i am conflicted and now you have to be in this crisis with me, tesoro

Nico gives Will head pats and kisses

Will gives Nico hugs and embarrassments (and kisses)

they wear each other's pajamas and enjoy their friends and siblings's horrifying faces at 6:30 in the morning

*body slamming the door* "you two ARE having the papapa!", "really Will? why didnt you tell me? i could have put down my ugly stuffed blobfish plush"

They are both needy at ungodly hours

Will is whiny when he wants affection "Nicoooooooooo..."

then there's Nico when in need of literally any kinds of comfort just, cling, onto Will's body for the rest of the day, whoever try to remove him will get their hands bit off

there are days where they put stickers on each other faces and arms and hair and be fabulous

Nico makes GODS-TIER coffees and Will could die for them

Will "sorry" and Nico "apologies/forgive me" when fighting monsters

but actually Will gives them the finger and destroys them with one of his martial-art chokes

they will both scream, at the top of their lungs, when watching scary and horror movies

that's gonna be my headcanons, they are both shit at jump-scares and gory movies. they have to hug each other and cuddle for hours with two enormous blankets and often hide in Will's bed and watch a list of Disney series marathons after one "The Conjuring"

but they still love horror movies

dudes literally gone through wars and somehow get scared by a possessed doll

Nico lowkey adores Will's dad puns

"aight, what do you call a baby ghost?", "Will, please no—", "a little boo", "*snorts* g-gods darnit..."

Nico's his little boo

(fuck why did i do that—)

when Nico's sad, he will look up to Will and his boyfriend will smile, brightly, "hi there, wookie" and Nico will chuckle, saying "hey there, cara mio" and they will hold hand, with Nico trying his hardest not to imitate Will's sweetest giggles

their relationship is at the peak where Will says something and Nico gasps at him, then continues with the "is that a Star War reference?"

it is also at the peak where someone mocks Will with, "an apple a day keep the doctor away" and Nico calmly counters with, "only if you aim it well enough" and throw an apple at that person then broke their nose

. Kayla, dramatically points to Austin: Why did the mattress...

. Austin, dramatically points to Nico:...Go to the doctor?

. Nico, sighs, "dramatically" points to the sun:...why?

. Apollo, dramatically appears, points to the ground: Because!

. Will, dramatically slides in, biting his lips: It had spring fever

. Nico:

Then the Apollo cabin cheer and fetch out their instruments, attempt to do a whole orchestra passionately

headcanon when Nico fighting lobsters he would say "genocide" out loud and then proceed to stab them with his sword

imagine him just saying random things like "i ate your lesbian hamburger" or "i sleep with my boyfriend and then wake up earlier to eat his hair" or just simply "glob" then destroy his opponents and live for their screams

pre-Solangelo headcanons i dreamed last night because i am a sad person

they hang out a lot, even couples didn't do that as much as them (and they're not dating how?)

after three-day infirmary, people thought they do wholesome things together but in reality, they are awkward as heck and try their hardest to communicate with each other

whether it's Will's shy ass "hi", "h-h-how are you", "yo-you look great to...day" or Nico's affectionate "perish", "do not attempt to speak to me"

they go to the arcade ONE time and never come back (mainly because of Nico)

Nico is chill, but he eats arcade games for a living. tetris? street fighter? donkey kong? fricking PAC-MAN? oh they are going down

for reasons, Nico is very competitive and toxic when old school arcade stuffs involved and Will finds it hot and scary

when Nico's sleepy he will speak in Will's Texas accent

when Will's high he will speak Italian

Nico usually goes to the infirmary to randomly massage Will's shoulders and hands and anywhere possible and tells him to take a break with him

Will's addicted to it, this is where he gets high

Will has protective siblings. someone being slightly mean to him and they will riot. but it's Nico so they gaze in gentleness as he bride-carries Will out of the infirmary

Will is taller than Nico for a whole head, so it looks like he's carrying a long sandwich (sandwill wheeze)

Nico has protective sisters (Reyna and Hazel), if they see someone makes funny eyes at him, they will make that person's buttcrack beg for Tartarus. but with Will, the guy who is tripping on his own legs, poorly maintaining eyes contact without immediately shutting it and going "fuck it" then die—sleeping on the ground, holding a cup of coffee like it's his life savior and went "yeah that's him. that's the guy who will make our brother the happiest"

Nico is weak for Will's dad jokes (even before dating, dude's down bad) he straight up gasps for air and cries

"why were...", "oh gods no—", "...the utensils stuck together?", "*snorts* n-nO NO STOP—", "because they were spooning", "*wheezes and dies*"

"ugh", "ugh indeed"

they talk little when around people and talk so much when it's just the two of them

like, if there are books about their relationship developments, it will be mainly about their dumb conversations and late night talks, and by books, i'm talking dictionaries here

"Will, do you have water?", "no but i have this hand sanitizer"

Will is a brave guy, when he sees Nico furiously walks towards him, he will stand up and start running

Nico catches him anyway and lectures him about drinking Cappuccino at dawn and making pizzas with a rice cooker

Nico loves Will more when the guy's sleep deprived

"oh but thats kinda sad, because mr.tomato looks exactly like mrs.apple, we couldn't blame sir cucumber for having an affair with both. the guy's green he's color blind", "ah yes do continue"

Will always sneaks into Nico's cabin late at night to talk to him

Nico doesn't sleep he waits for Will every nights

they are both sad and in love, i don't take criticism

homies be spooning each other in the middle of the night and talk about how feet are cold without socks and socks are lonely without feet so in conclusion they are soulmates confirmed

"do you want a hug?", "no", proceed to hug Will

"do you want to sleep on my shoulder?", "no", proceed to sleep on Will's shoulder

"do you want to go to a convenience store at 3:00AM with me?", "no", proceed to go to a convenience store at 3:00AM with Will

"do you want to hold hands and talk about our days?", "no" proceed to hold hands and talk about their days

they did do wholesome things with each other

Nico: pets are overrated, i don't need pets

Will: *gasps*

Nico: let me explain

Will: gosh you better be

Nico: why pets, when you can have...a human

Will: *incredulously* i am uncomfortable with how this conversation is taking us

Nico: look, i don't get why i need pets when i can have this cuddly, talkative, convenient piece of human, who can feed themself, give random facts about toothpastes, make weird jokes, consume unholy amount of coffees at every minutes possible and do nice physical contacts that do not leave furs and bad smells over my body

Will: do i need to question that specific piece of human?

Nico: no, but you get the gig

Will: right...you are just sad

Will:...and want to be in a relationship

Nico: indeed. so—let's get pets and be less sad and have a relationship

Nico: me and you *wink*

Will: it's...4:00AM calm your horny ass

let's be real, we all wanted to talk about Nico's old people habits but didn't. so imma take the bullet.

Nico di Angelo headcanons that i often think about whenever i watch my grandma yells at my dad

if he had a camera, he would take a whole picture book about anything or anyone except himself

he would leave voice mails and check for letters, in a goddamn summer camp

he would carry candies around for people, mostly for young campers or Will

the good thing about that is he has different kinds and the bad thing about that is they are all from the '90s

like Will would ask him for minty candies and Nico would look at him, annoyed but concerned, saying who tf eat minty candies these days, such psychopaths, and give him some Mambas or Runts, receiving a more horrified and concerned look from Will

he would wear slippers in his cabin

he would find joy in playing bingos and crosswords

he takes naps every time he can

he would reminisce about the past or childhood or literally just, ten minutes ago

"ah...Oreo O's. i used to eat them raw back in the days. you know, whenever Bianca and ma—", "they are just...emo Froot Loops that prefer to be in a closet or something, ironic"

he would look at Will's iphone for the first time and slowly, oddly ask if that's a calculator and can he borrow it for a minute

the same thing happened to Will's laptop or any kind of technology except for TVs

he would call it television tho

"i slept like a baby last night"

"you go ahead, im just going to sit for a minute"

he would cook and make Will eat a whole festival

he would have a fountain pen and an ink jar

he would write in cursive and it's so beautiful, everyone asked Nico to write their names or some cringe ass quotes or puns (which he politely declined) in which he traded for changes and coins

he would write love letters in Italian and give them to Will, but no translations

he would keep a wall calendar for decoration

he would cut out some interesting newspaper stories and keep them in his notebook

fricking votes

he would scold Will for not folding his blanket when he himself sleep with lots of pillows and use them for blankets

pajamas

"do you know? in trends these da—", "trends? wh—what is that? are you swearing?"

unexpectedly, he would love football lives

he would scare people by simply telling them his daily life stories

"omg this kid is so old, he just like my grandpa i cant kill him"

Will accidentally made an old people joke to Nico and instantly regretted it

"g—grandma is that you...?"

he would knit a very nice and warm scarf for Will ("there, it looks great on you! what? it's not? hmp, it's beautiful, Will, what do you mean? you look so soft and cute. you could even wear them to sleep. in exchange for your unfolded blankets")

"WHAT?"

"dear me, Will, you look like a pickle", "im sorry a what?"

headcanon nico can play violin (just to add background effects to will's moments)

like will would say something uncalled for and nico would "violin noises"

Will: hi my name is Willi-

Nico: intense beethoven pieces

Will, trips on a rock: naughty lil buckaroo—

Nico, breathes: starts playling hungarian dance no.5 - brahms

Will, an intellectual: lambs lamps, now you wouldn't know if i said two lambs or two lamps or separate lambs lamps

Nico, nervously glances at Will: vibing with zigeunerweisen - sarasate

headcanon nico is very proud with his love letters, they are his pieces, his inspirations and ways to show people how much he loves them. so if will wrote back a love letter for him, nico would rate it, like aggressively turned himself into Gordon Ramsay. literally will taste the material of the paper, analyze will's ugly handwriting like a graphologist, check for typos even though the dude cant spell and never read the contents in it, just straight up smell the letter and put it in his mouth.

Hey, it's me again. Has Nico ever been on a horse? I feel like he would be someone who enjoys it, but doesn't want anyone else to know about it.

Nico knows how to ride horses. You can’t be Hazel Levesque’s brother and not know, but he doesn’t take lessons or do shows like the others riders. Will of course wouldn’t object if Nico ever decided to take lessons (equestrians tend to wear skin tight pants) But Nico ain’t no slacker, he’s at the barn almost as much as Hazel. He’ll pat a horses’ nose as he walks by or help a newbie tack up. People who don’t know Nico personally will think “Oh there’s Hazel’s brother”. Nico doesn’t mind, he’s proud of his sister and supports her horse back riding a 100%. He takes pictures of her and Arion. He goes to all of her shows and is just there for her. Bonus pic of Hazel and Arion taken by Nico of course:

A/N: Horse kisses! Hazel is the sweetest little thing! A special shout out to @thatgaydemigodnerd for being so interested in my au! If you or anyone else has questions or requests go ahead and ask! Asks are my cocaine

Headcanon:

Nico sleeps with a stuffed toy if Will isn’t around to cuddle with him

Manifesting that we’re gonna get a back story on how Will and Nico got together in the upcoming Solangelo book

YES

Nico di Angelo would have snake bite piercings, I don't care what anyone says.

Friendly reminder that Nico Di Angelo as a child, loved pirates and Greek mythology.

Imagine a 10 year old Nico getting excited that the Greek gods exist, then finding out that he gets to learn how to sword fight just like pirates do. (He was so excited he ended up cutting his leg resulting in a scar)

And now imagine all that excitement disappear when he learns that he can never show his big sister what he learnt.

<33

Imagine 10 year old Nico info-dumping to Bianca about pirates and Greek Heroes.

Now imagine HOO Nico on the Argo 2, looking back at it all and realising he’s basically now a Greek hero AND a pirate, but he isn’t able to info dump to Bianca like he used to. 💀

Imagine him going to tell Bianca before realising-

<33

OMGS YES

Knowing that Will like canonically listens to true crime is so funny to me but mainly because of how many like serial killers and just general crime and cults that went on in the 50's so imaging Nico just being like

Nico: "Uhh.. i remember once back when i was little i met this really cool guy named ___"

Will: "THE SERIAL MURDERER????"

and then he infodumps

YES

solangelo but they listen to stuff that doesn’t suit their “aesthetic”, Will with true crime and Nico with vocaloid (or nightcore-)

Nico’s emo! Nico’s goth! What about Nico dresses in skulls to hide the fact that he literally only listens to Vocaloid?

He is a feral orange farm cat. With his random calico cat he stole (Nico)

"Will Solace is not a golden retriever. He is, in fact, a ginger cat," I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

"She's right!" they say. I look around for the owner of the voice. There in the 6th row stands: Rick Riordan himself.
