Will's P.O.V
Nico and I were old enough now to be out on our own. We were going to go to college together. In New Rome. I, over course studying medicine. And Nico decided to study art.
We were collecting the last of our things and getting ready to fly out to California. I met Nico at The Hades Cabin and waved goodbye to his new half sister savannah. Her purple hair tied back into a sloppy bun and her smiling freckled (eerily similar to Nico's) face waved back.
"Hey there." Nico said and took my hand. "Got everything?" He asked.
"I do!" I smiled at him.
We walked around for a bit then started toward the front of camp. But suddenly Nico turned around. A little boy no older than eight had tugged on his shirt.
"M...mister n...Nico..." the boy stuttered. Nico raised an eyebrow and his eyes went wide.
"Uhhhh...."
"My name is Charles and I... I'm a son of Hecate... i... I just wanted to tell... you that you're one of... the best heroes ever!" The boy started to build a little confidence. "I can't believe you went to... you know where.... and you helped keep the world safe! If it weren't for you that bad lady might have taken over!!! Then my baby sister wouldn't have been born!!!" He said. His eyes wide and his stutter gone.
"Listen kid..." Nico started but the Charles cut him off.
"I know you're busy don't worry. I just wanted to say thank you for helping to save the world. I hope you come back to camp soon." And with those last words the boy sped off before Nico could respond.
"Uhhhhhh..... what... was that?" Nico asked and faced me. His checks were dusted with a bright blush. The cutest thing ever.
"That kid knows a good hero when he sees one." I told him and gave him a nudge.
"But I..." he started.
"Shh!!" I told him "come on we have a plane to catch. We wouldn't want Reyna getting mad!" I giggled and we started to jog.
~~~~~
Even after we boarded the plane Nico had a small smile on his face. No doubt from the kind words from that little kid. Nico held my hand and closed his eyes.
Soon to be in sunny California.
