Solangelo One Shots

Coming Out Solanglo Style

A request from @Demigod_HorseLover9 who wanted a solangelo coming out story in the canon universe, so here you go!

Nico's POV

"They're going to find out," I fretted, wringing my hands as my boyfriend hung a Welcome Gods! sign at the front of the big house. Will glanced down at me from his perch on the ladder, smiling kindly.

"Neeks, relax," he chuckled. "The gods are here for one day to make sure the camp is in good condition and to meet with their kids. Hades is not going to find out we're dating, I promise."

"They will!" I insisted. "Our initials are carved into the side of my cabin, so there's no changing that. Besides, someone's bound to tell him." Heaving a sigh Will climbed down from the ladder, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into him.

"You'll be fine, whatever happens," Will said, running his fingers through my untamed hair.

"That's easy for you to say," I muttered, grudgingly giving in to his embrace. "Your dad is bi. He'll be completely accepting. Hades, not so much."

"You're his only son," Will reminded me. "I can assure you that, whatever happens, Hades will still love you for who you are." He kissed me lightly on the head. "Besides, I'll always be here, no matter what happens."

He turned his focus from me to Half Blood Hill, where twelve imposing figures were coming into view, marching up the hill like an army.

"Speak of the devil," Will muttered, detaching himself from me to get a better view of the immortals who were about to cross the threshold to Camp Half Blood. "They're here." He broke into a light jog, joining the hundreds of campers, both from Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter, who were going to meet the gods. "Come on!" Will called, waving at me to follow him. Groaning inwardly, I started jogging, coming to meet the hoards of people, excited for the day to begin.

The gods came down to Camp Half Blood about once a millennia to make sure the camp was in good working order. The camps were allowed quite a bit of freedom, but they had to make sure to avoid a catastrophe, such as a massive civil war or Chiron leaving the camp and letting a couple hundred demigods run wild. Because the gods were so rarely on Earth together we had invited Camp Jupiter to meet the Greek versions of their parents and have a nice day with the people who they no longer hated. Everyone had been looking forward to it for months. Everyone except for me.

Hazel and I being the only two children of Hades, we were sought out immediately. After Chiron gave his speech, saying how the camp was working better than it had in a millennia and that there was nothing to worry about the crowd began to disperse, breaking off into groups based on their godly parents. I caught Will's eye as he began to walk away with the Apollo clan, mouthing I'll see you later! before he was swallowed up by the crowd. Hazel, Hades and I were left alone, standing in an awkward semi circle before Hades, realizing that it was up to him to start the conversation, cleared his throat.

"Well, then," he said, gazing around the camp. "Nico, I believe it would be best to take us to your cabin?" I flashed back to Will and I, carving our names with a pocket knife into the side of my cabin. It was between risking coming out to my father or possibly being incinerated for not listening to him.

"Sure," I responded, eventually deciding not to show him the back side of the cabin, where our initials were. I lead him and Hazel to my cabin, showing it off with a flourish of my hand. "Here's the great Hades cabin," I said, keeping my speech brief. "I sleep in it, I sometimes hang out in it, and that's about it. How about I show you the lake?" I couldn't think of anything near the lake that would risk outing me to my father.

"Wait," he protested, beginning to walk around the side of the cabin. "I've heard that this cabin is in front of some lovely woods, and I'd like to see." I couldn't stop him as he turned to the side of the cabin, thoroughly observing his surroundings. Before he could turn to the back I grabbed his arm, digging my heels into the ground, trying to pull him back.
