So My Type: A Solangelo Story

Chapter 3: Nico

Warning: Vulgar Language/Slang

So I was going. I was really going. Fuck. I kept on telling myself, why do I care? I don't give a shit about what people think of me. Except that's not true. I think it's pretty obvious that I'm an insecure 16 year old that has done suicidal things. A lot. I can't help it though, can I? And even if I died, I would be fine, because I would be living in a castle. But I wouldn't be able to have any fun I guess. Ha. Fun in the Underworld. What a weird thought. But I'll get back to the point. I was really worried about what everyone would say about me and all that crap. Will said it was okay to think those things and he would help me to not think those things. I thought that maybe getting distracted was the right idea, so after lunch, I went to the training grounds and attempted to shoot an arrow or two. Mr. Papadoupoulos would be mad. I ended up making an exasperated groan and I just absentmindedly started picking up the fallen arrows. I heard a familiar set of footsteps coming up behind me and I turned to face Will. He stopped about a foot away and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at me. "You okay?". I fiddled with my shirt and looked away. Then I felt a warm hand on my cheek, and Will brought his forehead down to mine. "You don't have to worry about anything, okay? Everything's gonna be fine.". He smiled and kissed my cheek, then my lips. I just held on to him, and from that moment, I was able to reassure myself that everything would be fine. I know it seems like a big jump from what I was saying before, but being in the hot and ripped arms of William Andrew Solace can do something to you. If I didn't mention this before, Will's really hot. Like, Californian Hollywood Star Surfer hot. No offence to Pipes' dad.

-Time Skip: Leaving Camp-

We were both ready to head to the Solace's house, we just needed to call a cab. THE cab, actually. The Gray Sisters' cab. Will and I stood next to Thalia's tree with Chiron and Mr. D. "Well, I guess I'm really saying this, but, I think I might actually miss you two.". I grinned and Chiron just covered his face with a hand.

"We'll miss you a lot too, cousin.". Mr. D rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue.

"If you're not careful, I might take away the 'Two Favorite Demigods' title from you two.". Will sputtered and gave a pointed look at him. "I didn't say anything. And Nico didn't know that you didn't like being called cousin!".

"Just go already.". And Mr. D left with the snap of his fingers. Chiron sighed and turned to face us.

"I will really be missing you two. It will be the first time the camp has been empty in... Forever. I trust you have your drachma for the travel fee?". I held Will's hand and got the coin out of my pocket.

"All set.".
