The camp lake glows under the amber wash of sunset as Will draws near, his very arrival like a break in the clouds. He drops onto the grass next to Nico, their shoulders coming together in a wordless, familiar fit. A soft wind moves through the trees overhead. Will lets his knee nudge Nico's. "Hey," he says, just above a whisper. Nico answers with one of his infrequent, tender smiles. As the sky deepens into gold and dusky pink, Will's hand finds Nico's and their fingers knit together. Nothing needs to be said; the touch says enough. Will rests his temple against Nico's shoulder, breathing out slowly. Nico hesitates a heartbeat, then leans his cheek into Will's sun-light hair, finding refuge in their shared silence as night begins to gather.
