Camp-Halfblood Holidays

Dec. 5th - Mistle-woe (Poly!solangelo x platonic!reader)

Anonymous asked:

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ If the holiday requests are still open, could you maybe do Will and Nico with a mistletoe - where the reader holds it above their heads but instead of kissing each other they kiss the reader because it's also above their head? ≧◡≦

Your honor, I am still in love with these boys. The fic is platonic though!

Warnings: The titans curse spoilers, mention of death, hurt comfort.

After you got better thanks to the very good care of Percy and Leo, you couldn't wait to head out and get more people into a holiday spirit. You hid a mistletoe in your pocket with the intention of going to couples and giving them an opportunity to kiss.

It wasn't much of a plan, but you were just glad to be allowed and have a reason to walk around camp.

Looking around you spotted Nico and Will sitting near the campfire. Nico looked very glum, and you figured it had something to do with what Will mentioned. Apparently, December was not Nico's month for some reason, and you wanted to help him at least enjoy the holidays a little. You felt the mistletoe branch in your pocket as you slowly walked up to the boys.

"What's up?" you asked as you held your hand with mistletoe above their heads. Will looked up at you as he tiredly sighed and shook his head.

"The sky." Nico deadpanned without sparing you a glance. He seemed paler than before and you put the mistletoe back in the pocket of your jacket, crouching down so Nico would look at you.

"Rough time?" you asked and he just shrugged, "Do you want a distraction, or to talk about it?" Nico's eyes shifted up, looking into yours. There seemed to be a deep sadness in his eyes. He closed them as he shook his head.

"Maybe it will help Nico," Will urged him, "You told me months ago, maybe telling (Y/n) can help lighten the weight." Will softly squeezed Nico's hand and Nico looked down at his knees once again. He swallowed thickly.

"December is,-" Nico whispered, his voice sounding rough as he let out a cough, "December is the month Bianca died." He looked at you and then at Will.

"Look, nothing changed, I still feel like shit and now more people know I feel like shit." Nico said bitterly and you noticed a shiny glint in his eyes.

"Hey," you softly put your hand on Nico's knee, "I'm glad that you told me and-" you struggled to come up with words. Nico never really opened up easily so this came as a surprise, "and although it's meaningless really, I'm sorry. I am not sure how to help, but maybe we can try to spend some time together and get your mind off things?" There was an unreadable expression on Nico's face. Will was looking at his boyfriend with concern as he rubbed his thumb over Nico's hand.

You looked around awkwardly as you took a deep breath.

"It sucks, Nico, and it won't be fixed any time soon, but you won't have to fix it alone alright? So please let me help, or Will. I can even try to get Hazel for you if you want?" A thought crossed Nico's face as he nodded.

"Thanks," he whispered as silence befell the three of you. After a bit Nico looked up to the sky and then once again to you, "A distraction would be nice, maybe. What were you holding in your hand?" he asked and you blinked twice.

"Oh!" you exclaimed as you got the mistletoe out of your pocket, "A mistletoe! The tradition is that whoever is caught underneath it has to kiss the person next to them." You held the mistletoe up between the three of you, as to show the boys the plant.

Nico and Will exchanged a look, he seemed much lighter now that Nico was talking again. It had been a rough few days for him, which had made Will much more worried than that he had anticipated. Nico on the other hand was surprised at how you had managed to change the sad atmosphere surrounding them so quickly. Will broke their staring contest as he looked back at the mistletoe and smiled.

"So, the three of us have to kiss now?" he asked, gesturing at how the mistletoe was also above your head. You looked up at it and started moving your arm down, but Will was quick to stop you. "It's tradition," he said as he held your arm up.

"I mean, I don't mind, but only if you guys are alright with it," you shrugged, feeling suddenly shy, "It's still a tradition with consent. I'm sure nothing will happen if only you two kiss." Looking at your face Nico felt his heart stutter as he shrugged.

"Wouldn't want to take my changes, Will?" he looked at his boyfriend who just nodded in agreement.

"How will we-" before you even finished your sentence both boys had pressed a quick kiss on your cheeks. "Oh," you just said eyes wide as Nico looked the other way and Will let go of your arm.

"That seems enough," he simply stated as he looked at Nico, "Are you feeling better?" he asked his boyfriend who cleared his throat before looking at you and then Will.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks," his gaze fixed on you, "for helping. I'll try to reach out if I need it." a phantom smile crossed his face as you nodded.
