Solangelo One Shots

Trivia, Anyone? (Part 2)

On request, I'm doing a quick part two of my previous one- shot, so I hope you enjoy! 

Nico's POV

"That was the best hour of my life," Nico sighed. He leaned up against the sink as Will wiped the thin sheen of sweat off his face. He pulled out his phone and clicked the power button. 

"Actually, it was an hour and fifteen minutes," he smirked, slipping his phone back into his back pocket. Nico laughed and stood on his tip toes, giving Will a kiss on his lips. 

"You're always so specific," Nico laughed. "Hey, do you think they're still playing trivia out there?" They both fell silent just in time to hear yet another screech of victory from Annabeth. They both started laughing, Nico clutching Will's shoulder to keep from falling over. When they stopped laughing, Will wiped a stray tear from the corner of his eye. 

"Yeah, I think they're still doing trivia," Will chuckled. Nico walked over to the door and pushed it open, waiting for Will to walk through. 

"After you, good sir," Nico said, throwing a cocky grin Will's way. Will bowed deeply. 

"Thank you very much, good sir." Will walked through the door and Nico followed, letting the door slam shut behind him. 

"Where have you two been?" Percy asked when Nico and Will slipped back into their seats. He was resting his head on Annabeth's shoulder as she scribbled the answer to the latest question on the whiteboard, which was now filled with smudges of marker and eraser marks. 

"Percy, you can't just ask a couple where they've been after they were in the bathroom for an hour," she chided. A strand of long blonde hair was stuck to her cheek, and the rest of her hair was frizzy and unkempt. Nico knew that when Annabeth did trivia, she got really into it. 

"Oh, so was it like that time in the horse stables?" Percy giggled, a stupid grin appearing on his face. Annabeth elbowed him hard in the stomach, making Percy wince in pain. 

"Come on, seaweed brain, I told you never to bring that up again."

"But you liked it, didn't you?" Percy smirked. Annabeth grunted, not providing a full answer. 

"Is he okay?" Will asked, peering at Percy. "He looks kind of out of it." 

"I ate too many nachos," Percy groaned. 

"I told you not to eat that much but do you listen to me anymore? No," Annabeth sighed. "I swear, though, if I wasn't here.." Nico could sense another Annabeth lecture to Percy, so he turned to Piper and Jason. 

Since the pair had gone into the bathroom an hour and a half ago, Piper and Jason had completely disconnected themselves from trivia night. Instead, they were facing each other, Piper playing with Jason's hands and Jason staring at Piper like she was the only girl he had ever seen. But when she noticed Nico, she turned around and gave him a sly grin. 

"Did you two have fun in there? You were gone for a pretty long time." 

"Oh, yeah," Will laughed, appearing over my shoulder. "It was amazing." I swatted Will playfully on his arm.

 "Don't talk about it here, Will." 

"Fine," he muttered. The conversation hit a lull, but after a few seconds of empty silence the announcer put the trivia questions into his back pocket and lifted the microphone to his mouth. 

"A big thank you and congratulations to all the teams who played." 

"Guys, shut up," Annabeth whispered, leaning in to better hear the announcer. 

"But," the announcer continued, "there was a clear winner. A huge congratulations to... the Death Eaters!" 

"Yeah!" Annabeth screeched, pumping her fist into the air. She sandwiched Percy's face between her hands and gave him a huge kiss on the lips. 

"Nice job, wise girl," Percy grinned. "I knew you could do it." Annabeth hopped out of her seat. 

"I'm going to go pick up our prize." Percy watched her talk to the announcer, a dreamy look occupying his face. 

"Isn't she amazing?" he sighed. 

"What time is it?" Annabeth asked, coming back to the table with a gift card in hand. 

"It's only ten," Percy said, glancing up at the wall clock situated above the podium. 

"Perfect," Annabeth grinned. She held up the gift card, a fifty dollar gift card the Fro- yo Shack. "Anyone up for some frozen yogurt?" 

They sat at a table in the Fro- yo Shack, the small building empty, save the cashier, who seemed to be occupied with the fat book she was reading. Nico stared at the cover. It had a picture of a haggard looking boy and girl on the front. He focused his eye on the title, and was able to make out the words House of Hades. Why anyone would want to read so intently about Hades, he had no idea. Maybe it was a character thing. 

He turned back to his frozen yogurt, chocolate with gummy bears on top. He looked into Will's cup, which held vanilla with all the toppings Nico would let him get. Jason had a mix of about five different flavors, whipped cream, jelly beans and chocolate sauce. He was calling anyone who would listen he called it the Hurricane. Piper and Annabeth had gotten the same thing, mint chocolate chip and hazelnut sauce. Sometimes Nico thought that they were long lost sisters. Percy had blue raspberry with blue jelly beans on top that stained his tongue and lips dark blue. 

"What's your deal with blue food?" Will asked, polishing his spoon clean of frozen yogurt. 

"It's an inside joke my mom and I have," Percy shrugged. 

"I love your mom," Annabeth sighed. "She's so nice." 

"Maybe sometime you two can both be Mrs. Jackson," Percy said. Nico started laughing. 

"What?" Annabeth asked. 

"Nothing," Percy said quickly. Nico kept laughing. "Oh shut up, Di Angelo. Just eat your fro- yo." 

"I have no problem with that," Nico said, taking a bite of his frozen yogurt. Will was looking at Nico with a warm look on his face. "What?" Nico laughed. 

"Nothing," Will said. "It's just that you're so adorable." He lifted his arm, about to pull Nico closer to him, but paused mid- reach. 

"Go ahead, Will, I don't mind," Nico smiled. Will wrapped his arm around Nico and pulled him into his chest. Out of the corner of Nico's eye, he saw Piper flash Will a thumbs up. Will gave her a grin, but Nico didn't think much of it. He just sunk into Will's warm chest and took another bite of frozen yogurt. 

I hope you guys liked that extra update! We had a snow day, so I had a good amount of time.
