Chiron let will sit with me. Although, I did see Will pay him like a bet and Chiron wink back.
"What was that about Solace?"
"Oh, just a bet. A bet I'm gonna win. He said he won't be able to keep Mr D away from us, but I know he can."
After that, the night was a blur. People running around, some staying quite. But ever since the Romans left, this is the loudest it's been in a while. Annabeth and Percy left early and snuck back to his cabin. Jason and Piper danced for ages with everyone around them cheering. Coach ran around with his baby scream "This is my beautiful baby! He's my boy!" With Clarisse behind him like a body guard. But I could tell behind her stern look, she was over joyed. Chiron had led Mr D to the big house and gotten him so drunk that he passed out. Drew was flirting with some of the boys from the Hermes cabin and some very confused Athena boys. Obviously not understanding what was going on. Considering the fact when Drew made a flirtatious comment, they would try to correct her and say the scientific thing and she would snap from cheery to angry then back again. I think at one point the whole Apollo cabin performed a song around the camp fire, or maybe it was the Hermes cabin, I'm not sure. I kept trying to slip into Will's shadow, or a shadow in a corner but he would pull me out and slap me until I said I wouldn't hide. It wasn't a hard slap, but a playful one. Every know and then he would slap my arm and I would crack out laughing. I am one of the most ticklish people ever and he would hit just the right spot to make me scream and squirm.
"Come on Solace, give me a break. Can I got back to my cabin, I'm tired. With great power comes great need to nap."
"Fine, but I'm walking you back."
I would have told him no and to stay at the camp fire, but I knew he wouldn't say no. Before I knew it we were standing at the door to my cabin.
"Stay right there, I'll be back." Then he rush off into one of the other cabins. Hopefully his.
When he returned he had some clothes and a sleeping bag. He handed me the objects.
"Go wild. The sleeping bag should be more comfortable then the coffin and the clothes are because I don't think you have anything other than those black ones. Oh, and one more thing. If my brother Kyle asks me if I've seen his clothes, I'm telling him you stole them."
"Do you want a dead skeleton army in your room for a four am wake up call or not?" I say as harshly as you can when your laughing.
"Not really, no. But it's fine, I will tell him you have them, but he won't mind, have you seen his closet? You would think his real parent was Aphrodite. A child with a clothes obsession is very strange. Anyway, no problem Death Boy." He laughed a good strong laugh. One that makes you feel like your melting. To be honest, I probably was with the heat he radiates. He helped me set up my sleeping bag and to get rid of the coffin look. He added on of the other mattresses from another coffin next to mine and spread the sleeping bag across. Now I had double bed with a bright yellow sleeping bag spread across it. Then I noticed one last thing. Along the bottom it orange letters was William Solace son of Apollo. That was probably the weirdest way to label your sleeping bag, but I didn't care, I was so tired I just wanted to sleep in my newly made bed. I wrapped the sleeping bag around myself like a cocoon.
"Thanks Will. You have really changed my life. Although, I'm not a morning person so don't expect any hugs or kisses from me in the morning."
He huffed a big sigh.
"Yeah, whatever. I'll see you in the morning Mr di Angelo."
Then he leaned over and kissed me. His lips tasted of raspberry cool aid and he smelt like day time. I could once again bear his heart beat. It rose like crazy then he stood up and left my cabin. Leaving the door open a bit behind him so I had some moon light coming through. My Sunshine was making sure I woke to sunshine, even if it wasn't him. No matter how sad and angry and over all depressed I've been, he has fixed it all in the past two days and had granted my Dad's wish of me being one of his children to grow up to be happy. Will made me, Death Boy, happy.
