End Scene.
In The Hidden Oracle, it is revealed that shortly after Gaea's defeat, Nico eventually admits to Will that he has a significant crush on him, and the two begin dating, with Will fondly referring to Nico as his lover at one point. This comes as a surprise to many fans since they have never been seen together on-screen nor does their relationship appear to be anything more than friendly. However, in the novelisation of The Hidden Oracle, it is stated that their relationship goes beyond friendship because Will once saw them holding hands under the trees.
They first meet when Will arrives at Gaea's temple to find her injured and near death. Without thinking, he takes her hand and she wakes up just before she would have died. From then on, they start meeting up secretly at night to love each other rather than fight Gaea. In the end, they both die but they had finally found peace together.
Nico dies protecting Will from an attack by Gaea's children. Before he passes away, he tells Will that they will see each other again someday because they were meant to be together forever.
Will lives long after everyone else has disappeared from Gaia's world. He finds Nico's body lying next to his and believes that they have gone to paradise.
