_______'s P.o.V.

I thought it was just another plain birthday. As usual, the universe loves proving me wrong.

Apparently, my friends decided to organize a surprise party. I was just walking around, when Chiron came up to me to tell me I had the rest of the day free. I stood there confused, as he trotted away. I decided to continue walking randomly.

As I was walking, someone covered my eyes with their hands. Suddenly, said person laughed, making me realize who it was.

"Way too obvious, Perce," I said. He laughed some more.

"Knew you'd easily know. Anyway, I still need to do this," he said as he covered my eyes with a blindfold.

We walked towards 'somewhere', with Percy leading me. When we arrived, he removed the cover and I opened my eyes, though there wasn't anything to see, because the room was dark. "Happy Birthday, (n/n)," someone whispered. Then all of a sudden, lights blared.

I saw Will standing next to me, beaming. I saw the Seven, Nico, Grover, Clarisse (big surprise, I'd say), Coach Hedge with Chuck, and a few other campers. Chiron stood in the doorway. He couldn't come in due to his height for the ceiling was too low.

"Happy Birthday, ________!" they all said in unison.

"Awww, guys! You didn't have to!"

"We totally needed to," Piper said as she approached me.

"In fact," Annabeth said from beside me," we had special help from a special someone." She pointed to where Will was standing, and I felt my cheeks flush. Sad fact, though: we were very close friends, meaning he could have done this without feeling something special. Piper seems to have sensed my tension, and she tried to cheer me up. We all had a fun time.

After a while, we cleaned up. While we were doing so, Will came close and slipped something into my hand. He walked away quickly, glancing at me with a sheepish smile. I looked at the note in my hand. It read:

Dear _______,

Can you meet me at the canoe lake, 30 mins before dinner. I have something to say.

Yours truly,

Will

I reread the note over and over again. I went to my cabin after we were finished cleaning up. As the time came, I walked to the canoe lake. It was already dim, and I couldn't clearly see the view. Suddenly, I heard soft strumming of a guitar. I immediately recognized the song. It was Thinking Out loud, one of my fave songs. Then I heard a voice sing.

"When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way

I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen

And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe it's all part of a plan

Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

Thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are," he finished. Said singer stepped out of the shadows, and I saw it was...Will?!

You know those movie-like moments? It felt like this one.

"So, I've been meaning to tell you for a while now," he said while setting his guitar down. "That I, Will Solace, am in love with you, (y/f/n)."

I was staring at him, a bazillion thoughts running in my head. I suddenly ran up to him and gave him a tight hug. He was so unprepared that we fell down, with me still glomping him. I just kissed him multiple times on his cheek, leaving him crimson.

"If I were to ask you if you wanted to be my girlfriend, does this serve as a yes?" he asked, the blush never leaving his cheeks.

"'Course, dummy!" I said cheerfully. And with that, he kissed me on the lips.

"Happy birthday, sugar," he said while holding me close.

And that is why, at times, I love it when the universe proves me wrong.
