No

"So, Nico," Jason asked. "Truth or dare?"

Nico fidgeted, all eyes awaiting his answer eagerly. "Dare," he decided finally.

Jason grinned and leaned over towards Piper, whispering something in her ear. She nodded, and then Jason looked back at Nico, a mischievous look on his face. "I dare you to ask out Will Solace and stay with him until he says 'I love you'. Then, you have to break his heart."

Nico blinked. "What?" he asked, flustered. "I'm not doing that."

"You have to! Its the rules!" Jason exclaimed, shoving Nico out of the Hades cabin where the group had been playing truth or dare. When Nico exited the cabin reluctantly, Annabeth pounced.

"What's your plan now?" she asked.

Jason grinned. "Nico will feel to bad to dump him and then they'll be an official couple," he announced.

Annabeth exchanged looks with Percy. "Okay..." she replied hesitantly. Then, the gang returned to their game of Truth or Dare.

Nico walked over to the Infirmary, dread in his system. Why was Jason making him do this? It's not like the son of Hades actually had a crush on the handsome blonde healer. Okay, maybe a little. But this was definitely going to ruin their friendship.

"Nico!" exclaimed Will once he entered the Infirmary, rushing over.

"Hey, Will," Nico replied nervously. He took a deep breath, and asked, "D'you want to go out with me?"

Will froze, blush creeping up on his face.

Oh gods, Nico thought panicky. What have I done?

"S-Sure," Will replied finally, a huge smile growing on his face.

"Wait--really?" Nico asked, bewildered.

Will nodded, and before Nico knew it, he had kissed his cheek. Nico smiled and pretended nothing was wrong, but inside, he felt so much guilt.

-

It had been about two years since the night of the dare, and Nico was finally happy. Will was so perfect that sometimes, he forgot that everything started off as a dare. Luckily, Will would never say he loved him, right?

Nico and Will were in the Hades cabin, laughing about something Nico had done. Well, Nico was laughing because Will was, and the son of Apollo's laugh made him want to dance. But he didn't do that, so he settled for laughing along.

"Gods, I love you," Will laughed, happiness in his eyes.

Nico froze.

"And thats why I wanted to ask you," Will said, seriousness overcoming him. "Will you stay with me forever?"

And everything starting moving fast - too fast - Will was suddenly on one knee and he had a box and he was opening it and holy mother of Hera there was a ring and Nico didn't know what was going on except that his heart was racing super fast and he didn't know what to do.

"Nico di Angelo, will you marry me?" asked Will breathlessly, looking up at him with his adoring blue eyes.

"...stay with him until he says 'I love you'. Then, you have to break his heart..." Jason's voice echoed in Nico's head as he stood frozen in shock. Will had said 'I love you', and now Nico had to break up with him, only he couldn't because he loved him.

And suddenly everything is moving fast again and the words are spilling out of Nico's mouth - the wrong words, not the ones he wanted to say.

"No."
