The orphanage- solangelo

Thunder

Npov (IM SORRY FOR ALL THE NICO POINT OF VIEW CHAPTERS ILL GET TO WILL's POINT OF VIEW LATER) (also this is probably going to have a lot of typos and make no sense whatsoever because I'm tired.)

The first lightning bolt lit up the sky. I yelped and Percy hugged me, trying to calm me down.

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault. It okay..."

Will was sitting across from me, so he couldn't do much. Under the table, though, he grabbed my shaking hand and held it in his.

"It's okay Nico. You aren't alone, okay? Remember that." Will whispered.

As soon as I would start to calm down, another lightning bolt would light up the sky.

Octavian did nothing to help. He watched from afar as Will and Percy desperately tried to calm me down.

"It'll be alright. You'll be okay."

Finally the storm stopped. I wiped tears off my face that I didn't even know had appeared.

Octavian must have been getting bored because he said, "I'll be back." And left the shop.

Will didn't let go of my hand underneath the table.

"Nico, I wanted to talk to you about something."

I looked up nervously. What is he going to say?

"Nico, I-I like you. A lot."

Percy squealed.

"And I was wondering if..." he nervously pushed a bit of hair out of his face. "If you would uh..." he mumbled the last part too quiet for me to hear.

"What?"

"If you would...be my boyfriend?" He blushed and looked down.

I was speechless.

Will Solace...likes me? Is this a dream? I wondered. I pinched myself.

Its not a dream. Will Solace likes me. Will Solace loves me!

Percy poked me so that I would answer.

"I-uh-" Percy poked me again, "-yeah! I mean no. Octavian would get mad. I don't want you to get hurt-"

"I'll be okay, Nico. Please?" Will looked at me hopefully.

"I-I-"

Percy whispered in my ear, "Say yes! You love him, right?"

"You know Octavian would hate it." I whispered back.

"Please?" Percy made puppy-dog eyes at me.

I looked back up at Will, "Yes."

Will's expression brightened.

"Good job!" Percy told me.

I smiled at him.

When we finished our hot chocolate, we walked outside.

Will wrapped an arm around me and I took Percy's hand.

"Where are Lou Ellen and Cecil?" I asked.

"They're meeting us back at my house."

"Okay." I said. "But Percy and I need to get back to the orphanage soon."
