The Barista-Solangelo

No one's pov

It was a busy Saturday as usual. For some reason the coffee shop was the definite go to on hot summer Saturdays. Nico didn't mind much. It kept him busy and it made his shift go by faster.

He whistled at Percy who was writing the special on the chalkboard outside. "Wrap it up, da Vinci!" he called. "Hi, what can I get for you today?" he asked the woman in front of him. He started going through the line as quickly as he could while having to make the drinks without Percy's help.

Finally Percy came back inside and washed his hands to help pick up the speed. "Relax, buddy, you were doing great without me."

"The fact that I am amazing has nothing to do with the fact that you have your own load to haul during your shift, buddy." He called out the next name and returned to the cash register to take the next order.

"Emmy, what's gay mean?" a little boy asked tugging on his older sister who was scrolling through her phone. Their mother gave him a look and returned to Nico, her expression uneasy. Nico looked at the little boy with furrowed eyebrows. That wasn't an unexpected question from a kid who couldn't be older than seven years.

As he took the woman's order, Nico noticed she seemed tense. There was probably something going on in her family.

The next customer(A/N:Guess who?~) gave their order and Nico gave him the price. As he began to pull money from his wallet, the customer said, "So were the dating apps not working out or...?"

Nico blinked and looked up at the guy who seemed about his age. "Excuse me?" he asked, taken aback by the startling blue eyes that popped out dramatically against his tanned skin.

He looked down at his money and chuckled. "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you don't know what's written on the board outside?"

Nico furrowed his eyebrows. "Our special?"

Again the blond chuckled, smiling a dimpled smile that made Nico nervous. "I mean, if your special is a barista who's 'hella fucking gay' and 'desperately single' then yeah, that's it."

The blood drained from Nico's face and he heard Percy burst into muffled laughter against the counter behind him where he was supposed to be washing a blender. "No," he said mortified. He burst out from behind the counter and out the shop to where the board was. His blood came rushing right back into his face when he saw the sign Percy made. "For fuck's sake, Jackson!" he snapped. He grabbed it and erased it quickly with his arm.

He barged back inside and yanked Percy by his collar. "I am going to fucking murder you," he threatened.

Percy laughed and shoved his hand away. "Come on, man. You said I wasn't your type, So now I'm helping you find someone who is."

"I said that because you assumed I'd hit on you after I came out to you!" he hissed.

Percy rolled his eyes and tugged Nico back to the register. "Hey, there," he said to the blue eyed teenager who was fighting a smile. "So- and I'm just assuming here- are you interested in our little gay barista here?" Nico yelped and elbowed Percy in the ribs.

The customer chuckled awkwardly. "Ah, he doesn't seem very comfortable with any of this so-"

"Ah, ah," Percy said, shaking a finger. "One moment." Again, he pulled Nico aside and thumped him on the head. "Come on, dude! He's interested! And he's actually really cute."

Nico furrowed his eyebrows and put his hands together, jabbing his fingers into Percy's chest. "I'm going to ask this one time and hope you're honest with me. Are you sure you're not gay?"

"Pft, you wish. I'm just very confident in my own masculinity. And I'm trying to hook you up, you could be appreciative."

Nico scowled and started to argue when the customer cleared his throat. "You know, you guys can't really be that secretive when you're two feet away," he pointed out. "If he's not interested, it's cool."

"He is, he's just too much of a wimp to admit it," Percy said.

"Dude!" Nico snapped. "Oh God." He rubbed his face and shook his head. "This is not happening."

"It's okay," the customer said with a small smirk. "Can I still get my iced coffee?"

Nico nodded, feeling too embarrassed to say anything else. He turned away and began making the drink. Percy nudged him and gave him a Sharpie to write on the cup with. "You have nothing to lose, man. You know you want to."

"He could be a serial killer," he whispered.

"With a baby face like that? Nah. I'm thinking... surfer." Nico sighed in exasperation and Percy laughed. "Look, it won't hurt to try. Go someplace public. But you need to be a normal teenager for once."

Nico bit his lip and sighed in defeat. He turned to call out the order. The blond haired, blued eyed teen went up to the counter to grab it, but Nico pulled the drink back. "Can I at least know your name before I go agreeing to anything?" he asked.

A smile began to spread on his face and as he laughed softly. "My name's Will." Nico bit his lip and began writing on the cup. Then he handed it over with a timid smile. Will looked down at it and smiled wider. "Have a good day, Nico."

As Will left the shop, already putting Nico's number into his phone, Percy jumped onto Nico's back. "That's my boy!" he whooped.

Nico threw him off and rolled his eyes. "I am still murdering you. And if I get stood up or it sucks or I get killed because he turns out to be a psychopath, I will revive you and kill you again!"

"Okay, but if you die-"

"Kill you again!" he repeated. "Now get to work you lazy ass."
