(The question wasn't even a surprise at this point. Will figured out a while ago all of Nico's personal problems with himself and he wanted to work on that. It would never be an overnight process though and he was okay with that. Will could be remarkably patient. So he just smiles at the question and shakes his head.)
No, I don't think the darkness is bad.
(It's funny. Will is so...sincere. There's no loophole, no lie, no hesitation. It's one of the easiest questions he's had to answer.)
The world has light in it and darkness for a reason. And I don't think it's ever been so simple as to say 'light is good' and 'dark is evil'. That's pretty dumb. Your powers are intimidating because they're strong but not because they're bad. I mean, not all monsters are bad either. Just like not all mortals are good.
(Will shrugs his shoulders and really, he thinks it's pretty simple. The world is a grey place. There was plenty of darkness in Nico, but it was the good kind of darkness because it was in a good kind of person. That's all there was to it for him.
At Nico complimenting him, Will feels himself blush all the way from his ears and into his cheeks. He can't even say anything before Nico is saying more and again- Will is a little jealous of himself.
Then he begins to put together the pieces of what it is exactly that Nico is telling him. I started noticing you too. Nico di Angelo. Noticing him of all people. Why? Despite what Nico said, Will really wasn't anything special.
Something was there.
Something between them was actually there and- wow.)
Yes- yeah. Yeah that'd be...awesome. Really, really awesome. I mean, that's why I wanted you to stick around. I. Just wanted to get to know you better and maybe by the end of it all, you'd tolerate me enough to maybe- want that too. So- yeah. That'd. Yup. We're so doing that.
(Very smooth, Solace.
But the real winner of this is the last bit. It takes Will by surprise more than anything else and he just stares at Nico in silence for a moment. Then he moves forward and screw it. Nico can deal. Will wraps his arms up around Nico and welcome to probably the warmest embrace ever, Nico. It's tight and secure, like Will sees everything worth holding on to in Nico.)
You're important to me too.
(Then he's pulling back from Nico, giving him his space back and sitting back onto his calves, looking a little flustered.)
