Solangelo One-shots.

Trust.

Nicco didn't like getting attached to people. He didn't like loving people. He didn't like forging feelings with people. 

Why? 

Because they always end up leaving him, in the dust, battered and bruised. 

They filled his head with endless promises, they promised never to leave, they promised that they'd never hurt him. 

Promises they can't keep. 

Nico knows that people can't be trusted. He's built the walls around his heart so high, they were practically impenetrable. He knows people will hurt him. He knows people are bad. He knows. 

He's never to love. 

He's never to feel. 

He's never to let anyone in. 

He's never to live.  

So then, how many of his rules has he broken, just by falling for a certain son of Apollo? 

Probably one or two. 

How many promises he made to himself were never kept, just by kissing said son of Apollo?

Maybe about three or four. 

How many bricks were taken out from the fortress around his heart, just by admitting to himself that yes, he was truly, madly, deeply, in love with Will? 

Try every single one. 

He's spent years, distancing himself, teaching himself to numb his heart. He's spent years, building those walls. He's spent years, starving his heart from touch, from warmth. 

And then Will came along, chipping away at his guard, so easily, and Nico knows. 

Nico knows Will was tearing apart his defence, but Nico lets him. 

He lets him.

Nico's promised himself. Countless times that he is never to trust again. And yet, here he was, his heart out on the line, just waiting. 

Waiting for when Will Solace would come and crush his heart. 

Just like all the others. 

Bianca. 

His mother. 

Percy. 

It was funny, how the people you thought loved you, ends up hurting you the most. 

Nico didn't understand. He was waiting. for Will to destroy his heart, so painfully, that it can never to replaced, that it completely shatters. 

Because Will makes the same promises. He promises never to leave, never to hurt him. 

But his words, ring truth. Nico can hear the sincerity and the truth. 

Nico's heart is on the line, but so was Will's. 

Nico knows, that he can break Will's heart as easily as Will could for his. 

So maybe, just maybe, it's okay. 

It's okay to live. 

It's okay to love. 

It's okay to trust. 

And maybe, it's okay to surrender all of you to another person, because they will never break you. 

Maybe, just maybe. 

End.
