Chpt. 14- Who Says McDonalds Is For Kids?

Pt.2
~Will Solace~

I can't believe Nico did that. I wish I had the courage to do that.

When we were ordering our food the girl at the cash told us how one time when her and her girlfriend were at the movies, they were just holding hands and waiting in line to get popcorn when all of a sudden the manager came out and kicked them out of the theatre. She said that, that's happened a lot to her and I think that's just plain awful. She told us that she took a video of Nico's speech and she was wondering if it was okay to put it on Instagram. After a lot of thinking Nico said yes, he told me that maybe that will motivate people to stand up for themselves and all other non-heterosexual people when stuff like the movie theatre incident happen. He also told me that maybe, just maybe, if people see that video they'll repost it or even just spread the word. He told me that all he wants is to be able to go out in public with me and not be looked down on. Maybe if-

"Will!" Nico says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"Your drooling."

"Oh." I say wiping my chin.

"Your nasty. It got in your salad. Who even orders salad at McDonald's?! It's a burger joint not a s- woah what's that?!" I laugh and turn to see what he's looking at.

What is that?

"Oh shit!" He yells after a couple minutes of thinking.

"What?!"

"That's a ophiotaurus!"

I've heard of those in monster studies. You do not want to mess with one of them.

"Half bull half serpent." I whisper.

"I've only seen one other and that was Percy's. It's name was Bessie." Nico says quietly.

"Damn it babe why do you have to smell so good?!"

"What?"

"You know cause like, monsters can smell demigods and your a child of the big three so it probably followed your scent."

"Ooohhhhh I get now."

"Yeahhh..."

"Your an idiot." He says and I get a sharp pain in my chest.

Oh.

"I know." I say putting my head down.

"I'm sorry Will, I didn't mean it. I was just joking."

"Do you have a knife or something sharp I can borrow?"

"Will no! I'm sorry!" He says jumping across the table to give me a hug.

"I meant for the ophiotaurus..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah..." He slowly pulls away and sits down.

"Who's the idiot now?" I whisper.

"Oh shut up!" He says playfully hitting me, again.
