Battle Wounds: Solangelo Soulmate AU

SIXTY-FOUR

NICO POV:
I didn't wanna go to the fucking party but I love my fucking boyfriend and he wants to go. His reaction when I agreed told me how much he wanted to go, and now that I think about it Ive probably held him back from doing so many things. I've heard him turn down a lot of invitations to hang out and stuff and never really thought to much into it, but now that I am I realize it was because of me. He knows how unsocial I am and he didn't want to leave me alone so he just didn't go. That stupid idiot killed his social life because of me.

Connor has a nice house only a few blocks from my dads. It's not gated like ours was, but still has a large drive way leading up to it. When we get there, there's a good amount of cars parked in the drive way and along the road but not to many. I hold Wills hand as we walk in to find our friends, and Will says hello to what feels like a hundred people but what I know is only like 15.

The house isn't crowded because there is only about 50 people here and the space is large enough to accommodate them. We find Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Jason, and Frank all sitting around in a circle with about 10 other people.

"You guys made it!" Jason exclaims standing up to clap Will on the shoulder.

"I was starting think you wouldn't," Percy joins.

"I had to practically drag Nico out of the house," Will says nudging me playfully.

I roll my eyes. "Whatever."

"Wanna drink?" Percy says. "They got beer, white claws, wine coolers, honestly you name it and he probably has it."

"I don't drink," I say when I realize most of them are looking to me. I turn to Will who had been looking at me expectantly. "You can though, I can always drive home it doesn't matter."

"You don't have a license," he says to me quietly.

I roll my eyes. "Your house isn't far, I think i'll be fine. Drink, have fun, it's okay."

"I'm not much of a drinker anyways," Will shrugs.

"Meaning he's only drank a few times and he didn't even get drunk," Percy translates.

"Really?" I ask incredulously. "Yeah I'm getting you drunk, come on ."

Will laughs as I drag him to the kitchen. "I'll drink a little."

"No, your getting drunk. You deserve it, your dating me you could use a few drinks."

He rolls his eyes. "You act like your hard to love."

"I am, don't lie," I say looking around to find a white claw. I know Will, if it tastes to much like liquor he probably won't drink much of it.

"Drink this," I say opening it for him. He takes it with a shrug and sips it gingerly. "No faster, I'm trying to get you drunk."

He laughs and to my surprise chugs the whole thing. "Better?"

"Yes," I smile grabbing another. "Drink it fast but you don't have to chug if you don't want to."

"Thank you for your permission," Will chuckles as we head back to our friends.

They appear to have started to play truth or dare and I refuse to play.

"Cmon Nico!" Percy says. "Don't wanna spill your deepest darkest secrets?"

"No."

Percy scoffs, "Should have known."

A girl I don't know groans, "I was gonna dare you to take your shirt off. Everyone wants to know what you have hidden under there after we saw you kick Octavians ass."
