Will's P.O.V
Camp half blood is nice this time a year.
Hhmmm it's nice to visit here every once in a while . I do this every year. Well considering it's a reunion for my generation. Percy, Clariess, that bunch.
"Hey Will!" Hazel calls to me.
"Oh hey Hazel how are you!"
"Oh I'm good. I just... I miss him you know? It was his birthday last week."
"I know, I miss him too."
"Did you hear?"
"What?"
"My father knows what happened to Nico but he won't tell. Says that Nico didn't, wouldn't want him to."
"Are you serious!"
"Yeah. I think my dads full of shit." I've never heard Hazel cuss. Ever. This is definitely a weird day.
"Well I'll see you around Hazel."
"See ya Will." I walk off. I remember the day he went missing. "Will. I like you. I like you a lot. He had said. Before I could tell him I liked him too he ran away.
He was bullied by some people at camp who were homophobic. Drew Tanaka was one of the biggest problems. I never saw him again. I guess that they finally cracked him and he thought that I wasn't going to like him anymore. He was wrong. It's been eight years.
I continue to walk through camp. Something catches me eye. Darkness swirls in the forest. What the hell is that. Then someone glides out. The shadows acting like a skateboard. He's still half engulfed in them. He has a wicked grin on him face and his hair is swooshing in the wind. His long black coat hovers the ground and ripples like he's a ghost. Then he fully steps out and glances around. The grin melts off his face into a stern expression.
I only know one person who can do that.
His name was Nico Di Angelo.
"Nico!" Hazel screeched.
"Hi sis." He says and she attacks him in a hug.
"You son of a bitch... You little shit!! Get your ass over here right now." Reyna stomps her way up to him. Fear spreads across my old friends face. I used to call him Death Boy and tease him about how he reminded me of Death The Kid from Soul Eater.
She squeezes him so hard I think he might pop. Wow I missed him. But he probably won't remember me. So I walk away. And let everyone catch up with him. I would love to catch up with him myself but he probably would say "who the hell are you?!"
The news breaks through camp like wildfire. And soon the reunion is over. For all the non important people that is. Percy and Annabeth will be there for the rest of the week.
"It's funny how time flies. My only reason for staying at camp, my only reason to wake up in the morning and you thought after eight years of not seeing your amazing face I would let you just... Walk away?" I spun around so fast.
"Nico?" I ran up to him. We're the same height. I used to tower over him like a skyscraper. "William." I smash my lips to his.
"I didn't think you would like me."
"I didn't think you would remember me."
"Well I guess we were both wrong huh?"
"I guess so. Why did you, why Nico?"
" I was a silly child."
"You're 25 now huh?"
"You're 26. Every day in the underworld I thought of you. On your birthday I would go up to earth and let the sun actually touch my skin. I would think about all the times you called me Death Boy and I called you Sunshine. I thought about how when you would get frustrated at me and just yell Doctors Orders. How I was slowly but surly falling in love with you. And it scared me to absolute death."
I didn't let him finish. I threw my arms around him and pushed my lips to his.
"I've missed you everyday for the past eight years. And it's been a long eight years."
