(For a single second there, Will actually felt a little bit put out. He'd forgotten that he'd technically been there before and he wondered how stupid it was to be jealous of...well...himself. He'd clearly gotten closer with Nico if Nico had been telling himself this kind of stuff and yet here Will was, not knowing any of it.
But if Nico had told him once before then that meant he had wanted to originally and might want to again- right? It was something to be hopeful for.
Truth be told? Will just....wanted to be closer with Nico. That's all.
So ignoring his own feelings, Will focuses when Nico starts to talk, his eyes on the boy. Thing is, when Nico explains it a little bit better, Will doesn't find anything funny at all.)
I didn't think it was funny.
(His words come out soft, gentle, but not babying by any means. They might even sound a bit apologetic. He looks away from Nico then, staring ahead.
He couldn't even begin to imagine what that must be like. Losing such a big chunk of your life like that. And to think....Nico felt like such an outcast already because of his father. It probably really didn't help that he was so out of the loop because of the Lotus Casino. Will made a mental note to try and not make fun of Nico for not knowing about modern stuff. He might like teasing Nico about plenty of things, yeah, sure, but only when it was in good fun. This felt a little more...wrong. Like he was laughing at Nico instead of trying to get Nico to laugh and loosen up.
He walks closer to Nico then and lightly bumps their arms together. The smile he sends Nico's way is genuine but also light.)

You look really good for your age.
