What can I be? (Solangelo)

•18•

I swear I'm going to shoot the fucking sun down myself one day.

Nico was squirming through the leaves of Thalias tree as he readjusted his backpacks straps, already too tired for what was about to be happening. He had Jules-Albert already waiting just down the road with the car and was waiting for the others. Hazel was a few feet away hugging Frank, both of their cheeks covered in light pink as they spoke quietly with each other.

Nico flinched some as a hand landed in his shoulder, taking his eyes off of his sibling to look at the offender.
"Jackson...why the hell are you here?"

"What? I can't send my friends off? Man I beat Will here? Don't all the Apollo kids rise with the sun?"

"Doesn't mean we like it. We still need coffee like everyone else!"
Will approached the two of them, nursing a large mug of steaming coffee, a small smirk on his face as he stopped next to Nico.

Nico narrowed his eyes some and shrugged Percy's hand off of his shoulder.
"Whatever...why don't I get coffee before I leave? I'm already dying I don't think I deserve to be tortured too."

"Nico...get coffee in the city. It'll be better than ours"
Percy's face looked a bit strained as he spoke before he sighed and shrugged.
"Can't believe all of this is happening. No offense Nico, but I'm glad it's not me this time. I wish I could come with you though."

"It's already risky with Jason coming. If we had all 3 of the big three I think it would be more dangerous. Besides you have college coming up. Who knows how long this quest will take."

Nico just shrugged and glanced over at Jason and Piper arriving. He walked away as Percy started to talk again, heading to the other three.

"Well we're all here. Time to head to Brooklyn then?"

Jason gave a grin as he ran a hand through his hair, looking around at the collection of them. Piper and Hazel were standing beside each other and Frank was behind Hazel, his arm wrapped around her waist. Will and Percy had approached the rest of them after Nico had abandoned them, both males standing right behind the short Italian.

Nico sighed and nodded once, kicking at a piece of grass.
"Yeah I guess it's time to leave then."
He then started to head out of the border when he was caught in arms, yelping as he was stopped.

Percy just grinned at him as he hugged the male with Reyna who had been running over.
"Hey you can't leave without saying goodbyeeeeeeee!"

Nico squirmed and gave a look at his group who were all laughing or hiding their laughs.
"Jackson! Let me go! Fine fine goodbye! Reyna?! Not you too!"

Percy grinned and let him go, ruffling his hair before stepping back.
"Ha I'll miss you too Neeks."

Reyna held onto Nico for a few seconds longer after Percy had let go, smiling some.
"Send me messages if you're ever in trouble alright? Just...don't die Nico. When you come back visit New Rome alright? Promise?"

Nico blushed lightly as he slowly hugged Reyna back, nodding some against her shoulder.
"If the literal pits of our hell couldn't kill me this stupid curse won't. I promise Reyna. I'll visit afterwards and keep in contact."

Reyna nodded and let him go, satisfied with his answers.
"Good luck to you as well Piper. Hazel. You'll do well and make us proud. I don't know you as well Will but I wish you luck on this quest. Jason...uh good luck and fight well."

Piper and Hazel were smiling at the older female and Will just gave Reyna a small smile. Jason slowly smiled and grabbed his backpack straps.
"Good luck in New Rome Reyna. Frank. Make me proud and do your best."
