CHAPTER 4: STOLEN CHARIOT

Nico

Nico was having the best day of his life. Then there's this chariot.

Nico felt arms draped around him. He snuggled in for more warmth, gaining a grunt in response.

"Good morning Death Boy!"

Will's voice gave him a jolt. He opened his eyes and found himself a few inches from Will's face.

He froze. Will smiled at him. He reached out and fixed his hair.

"I saved you."

Nico rolled his eyes. "What do you want? A medal?"

Will's face inched closer to his. "How about a kiss?"

"What?"

Before Will can get any closer, Nico pushed him away.

"Hey..."

Will grabbed his arms, so they both tumbled out of his bunk.

Nico grunted.

"I didn't think you'd be all over me this fast," Will said.

They were sprawled on the floor, with Nico on top of him.

Nico felt blood rushing to his cheeks.

Before Nico can retort, Will's lips sealed his in a sweet kiss. All rational thought left him. He felt his resolve melt into a puddle of shadow. When Will had let go of his lips, he was gasping for air.

"Better, right?" Will asked.

The door opened. Coach Hedge stood there, jaw almost dropping.

"Coach!"

"Uhh..." said the satyr. "I'll drop by when your not busy."

Then he was gone.

Nico stared at the door.

"Coach came here when he heard about you. He helped me out." Will said.

Nico stared at him. "He... saw us.."

Will laughed. "You know, he reprimanded me the whole night. He told me I was stupid for letting you out of the infirmary."

Nico didn't care. "But.... he saw us!"

Will ignored him. "He even iris-messaged to Reyna. We saw her at the shower. She screamed like a toddler."

"He saw us, Will!"

Will stopped his mindless talking.

"I know."

"And we won't do something about it?"

Will beamed at him. "You said we."

Nico tensed. "What?"

"You said we."

The skeletal butterflies in Nico's stomach was working overtime.

"I didn't say that."

"You did."

Nico rolled his eyes.

Will struggled under Nico's weight. Nico scrambled away from him.

"You're blushing." Will said.

"I'm not."

"You are."

"Did not."

"You did."

Will leaned over and kissed him again. It felt so good, so foreign, that Nico had to close his eyes. Will pulled away. Nico was tempted to stop him. Will stared at him, his blue eyes unreadable. He's beautiful, Nico thought.
