Chapter 7

Will's Pov

He hadn't planned running into Nico. Sure, he was heading to the Hades Cabin but literally bumping into Nico? Wasn't planing it.

"Woah." He managed to catch Nico before he fell face first into the dirt. "You good, Neeks?"

Nico glared at Will. "Let me go, Solace. And don't call me Neeks."

"Fine," Will whined, letting Nico onto his feet. "Watcha doing?"

"Maree needs clothes and I don't trust the gift shop. So I have to shadow travel to a mall. It's n- what?" Nico caught Will's glare.

"You can't shadow travel too much remember. You only just got out of the infirmary!" Will was mad. What if something bad happened to Nico?

"I'll be fine," Nico sighed. This guy...

"You can go but you have to bring me with you," Will stated.

"No," pouted Nico.

"You're not leaving here while using your powers without a medical expert. And lucky for you, I am one." It was obvious Will wasn't going to change his mind. He hoped.

"I- you're so annoying, Solace," growled Nico.

"Aww, I love you too," giggled Will. He wasn't going to stop trying to be Nico's friend.

Nico grumbled. "Come on." He grabbed Will's hand and step into the shadows.

It was freaky and awesome. Will didn't know why. Soon the darkness faded and a scene unfolded. They were at a normal shopping mall. Nico swayed on his feet and Will had to catch him. Again.

"Easy, Death Boy," Will said, grabbing his pack and giving Nico a piece of ambrosia.

"Why are your eyes so pretty?" Nico asked, sleepily. Will blushed. The guy was still groggy. Will brought Nico to his chest and waited until Nico's senses came back.

"Will, please stop hugging me," complained Nico, snapping out of his trance.

"But you're so cuddly," whined Will, reluctant to loose his teddy.

Nico managed to escape Will's arms, leaving a pouting Son of Apollo. "Ready now?"

"Ok, ok. Do you know her style?"

"Uh..."

"Nico!"

"I forgot to ask!"

"You- fine. We'll have a look around and see and hope she likes it."

They went to the closet clothes store they could find. After looking through some clothes, Nico sighed. "We'll never find something she'll like."

"Hey, cheer up," Will said. "It doesn't have to be detailed. We'll stick with casual."

They ended up getting a few plain shirt, a tye dye jumper, jeans, shorts and a flannelette shirt.

"Now what," asked Will.

Nico smiled. "Toiletries."

They did receive some weird looks when they went to pay for the toiletries but Nico explained they were for his sister.

"Did you see their faces," Will whispered as they left the store.

Nici snorted. "Please. They should be respectful and not assume."

Will nodded in agreement. Hanging out with Nico was fun. Maybe they could be friends.

His eyes lit up when he spotted a colourful mess. "Nico, look."
