Searching for Solangelo

Chapter 11: How far we've come

Authors Note: hey guys! Thanks for reading sorry that this update took so long but as I am nearing the if this fanfic I had to make it good. Anyways I'm think of writing a malec fanfic (maybe a wedding?) idk what you guys think but let me know!

Nico's pov:

I was done. Which is why I shadow traveled back to camp instead of taking a plane. I couldn't deal with anymore stupid, dense, mortals. My whole body ached, including my heart. Losing Jason was hard, but loosing Percy was even harder. He had died thinking that he owed me something, but really, I owed him. I had made him think that I had hated him, but really it had been the exact opposite. That is, until I met Will. I dragged Will one more step before disappearing into the shadows and bringing him with me.

*****************

Will and I appeared on Half-blood hill. We stepped out of the shadows and into reality, my knees buckled immediately. I fell onto the grass and Will tumbled down with me. Only then did I realize that Will was lying directly on top of me. I blushed a little bit and lifted him off of me.
He truly is beautiful, I thought. Apparently I didn't put Will down as gent ally as I thought because a few minutes later he woke.
"Nico?"
"Shhhh... " I replied. "Don't speak, we need to get you to the infirmary."
Unfortunately we didn't get that far. Katie Gardener came running up the hill, but stopped a few feet away.
"Where's Percy and Jason..?" Her voice faded of as she came to an answer. I looked up from Will and a single tear trickled down my cheek. Katie stood there in silence, and a visual sadness made her shoulders sink. She turned without a word and went to go deliver the news. I helped Will up and we walked to the infirmary. His siblings rushed forward in a hurry to heal him. They kicked me out of the infirmary and said he needed "space", I guess I understood but it doesn't matter. I walked away from the infirmary and headed to my cabin, I almost made it there, only to be stopped Annabeth and Piper. I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply, this was the last thing I wanted to deal with right now. My eyes flicked towards the two girls.
"Where's Jason and Percy?" She asked. "Didn't Katie tell you?"
They shook their heads.
Oh boy, I thought... Here we go.
"The quest was worth it." I started. "Their sacrifice was greatly helpful." I looked into their eyes and saw them putting the pieces together. Annabeth's eyes turned dark at the realization and tears threatened to spill out of pipers eyes. They both wore and intense frowns and had furrowed brows. I inhaled and continued on.
"I have something from each of them for you, I figured it was the least I could do." I looked down at my shoes and dug around in my pocket for the ring and the necklace. I held the ring gently in my hand.
"Piper. Jason wanted me to give you this ring... I presume you can figure out what it is... Er, um was for." I cringed at the correction I made on my word choice.
"Jason said that that if he could have, he would of loved to spend the rest of his life with you." I looked at the state Piper was in. Tear tracks marked her face as more tears poured out of her eyes, her body shook with silent sobs and her hands shook as she took the ring from me. She clutched the ring as if her life depended on it. She stopped crying for barley a moment to thank me before running to her cabin. Now only Annabeth and I were left. Her face remained a solid wall, a void of emotion.
"Ummm, Percy," I chocked on my words. "Percy said, that he loved you a-and that he's sorry." I handed her the bead necklace and she tied it around her neck. I stood and stared at me, trying to hide her emotions but her eyes were moist with years. She silently turned and left but as she walked away her shoulders sagged and her body wavered as she cried.

                      **************

Dinner was agonizing. Half way through Will joined me at the hades table but we didn't speak, no one did. The deaths of Percy and Jason had affected everyone. The room was filled with tension. I got the occasional glance in my direction, but they weren't looks of sympathy I was getting. Looks of anger, and hatred were coming my way and for once in my life, I understood why. I waited about two more minutes before excusing my self and leaving the dining pavilion. I sulked away to the hades cabin wishing I could disappear forever. My heart hurt, from Percy, from Jason, and from the reactions from the camp. I entered my cabin and sat on the bed. I finally let my emotions show. I leaned against the wall and cried. My ears spilled from my eyes at a steady pace. The followed the tracks of others and stained my face. Eventually I lost track on time until there was a knock at my door. I got up to answer it and it was Will. I walked away from the door with out a word and he followed me in. I reclaimed my spot on the bed, and we sat in silence. Then, Will spoke.
"You know, it's not your fault. Percy and Jason's deaths I mean. There was nothing you could have done different to save him."
I cut him off.
"But there is. I could have told them to stay here! That it wasn't worth it!" I ranted. "I should have went alone and if I died oh-"
And then his lips were on mine. He kissed me as a way of silencing me. I kissed him back and the world melted away. The pain, the loss, the sadness was all gone. He tasted like sunlight and ripe apples. I pulled away and stared at him. He sat back on the wall and blushed, trying to act casual but failing.
"I... Did we just..? Are we..?"
"Yes." He said.
Will wrapped his arms around me and we sat. I played the last 10 minutes back in my head trying to process what had just happened. Eventually I gave up. I was mentally and physically exhausted, I closed my eyes for what felt like a moment and fell asleep in his arms.
