The Sun Angel (Solangelo Story)

"Bend and Break"

~Will~

Will liked to think he learned quite quickly, especially here on Earth. People seemed friendly and school seemed like a safe atmosphere for Nico and the other students. He had to admit, the teachers did seem kind of... Uncaring, but other than that, the place was calming despite the constant noises and smells of chalk or whatever they put in the lunches.

Speaking of lunches, it looked pretty gross. Will tried to look for the healthiest options possible, but nothing seemed that good. He went with some sludge that looked like it had pasta in it, a salad, and an apple and hoped for the best.

With all the students crammed in this hall, it was easy to tell there weren't a lot of angels. Each angel standing at the ends of the tables their human sat at, allowing space for students. Will was glad he would be able to sit down and wore a confident grin as he glanced around for where Nico was.

He was quite easy to spot, clad in black, hunched over a table with his bag on the seat next to him as he picked at his own pasta sludge with an uninterested expression. Yep, definitely his ray of sunshi- human... Definitely Will's human.

He walked over confidently, placing his tray on the table first before sitting opposite Nico.

Will grinned, greeting Nico with a wave of positivity. "Why hello there, di Angelo."

The raven haired boy looked up, a small speck of red pasta sauce on his chin, "...Solace?"

Well... He remembers my last name, always a good sign.

"Solace, what are you doing here?" He confusion, twirling a plastic fork around.

Will searched through his bag beside him, pulling out a white paper napkin. "I came to sit with you, isn't it obvious?" Will reached across the table, gently tilting Nico's chin up and wiping the speck of sauce of his face.

Nico almost choked in shock, pulling his face away. Will could tell the boy felt some sort of soothing feeling even if the physical contact was without warning.

"What the fuck, dude?"

Will chuckled, folding up the napkin and sitting down again, "Gods, you do swear quite a lot, don't you? I've heard you mumble several different curse words at least twelve times today... Mostly in Italian. It's okay, we'll fix that bad trait later."

"Wait... Gods? Like... With an 'S'?" Nico mumbled to himself in confusion, but Will let that slide.

"I was just cleaning you up a little. Sorry, force of habit." Will continued, beginning to start eating his salad.

~Nico~

Nico grumbled to himself, he was enjoying the peace till 'Mr Sunshine' came along and ruined it. Though he had to admit, having the blonde boy as company wasn't so bad. Nico wouldn't say he enjoyed it, but it made him feel... Safe? He felt himself getting even more sappy every second.

He knew he couldn't fight it, Will seemed stubborn. Maybe he could just ignore him. He looked around at the tables, spotting his half-sister seated happily with that kid he assumed was Frank and a few older kids. There was about eight of them all together. Nico was just happy Hazel had some friends, despite them being the popular crowd and one of them being his old crush, Percy Jackson, captain of the swim team.

Percy was sat next to his best friend, Grover Underwood, probably telling bad jokes or something. I realised Percy wasn't my type a while ago, besides... He was definitely straight, even though he still hasn't dated anyone. On Percy's other side was Jason Grace and his girlfriend, Piper Mclean, everyone's favourite school couple. The biggest jock and daughter of the famous actor, Tristan Mclean, were perfect with each other.
