Different (Solangelo Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Nico's P.O.V.

As soon as I opened my eyes, there he was. The most perfect thing on this Earth.

Will Solace.

He must have been watching me while I was asleep because he jumped in surprise when I opened my eyes. I blushed as his sky blue eyes looked in to mine.

"Gods, Neeks," Will whispered, "you look like a lovestruck teenage school girl." ... What?

I took a minute to check out my position. My face was red with blush and I was curled up in a ball, pulling the covers to my chin. I quickly relaxed my posture.

"Shut up, Solace," I said. "Why are you in here, anyway? It's like," I looked at the clock, "five in the morning!" He looked at the opposite wall and blushed.

"I was, um, thinking," he said.

"About what?" I asked. I really wanted to say 'Well that's a surprise!' but I needed to ask him a serious question, too.

"You said that something was obvious yesterday," Will said, "I wanted to know what you meant." Oh Gods.

"Well.. um.. I mean it's all Jason's fault that I heard 'Solangelo' and you were talking to Jason so go shove a tranquilizer in him if you get mad," I said. Will burst out laughing at that, but it only lasted for a few seconds. "But... I... kinda, sorta, maybe...know something."

"What?" He asked.

"That you like me," I said, but I mumbled it so quietly that I think it was inaudible.

"That I what?" He said, smiling. I think he heard and wants me to repeat myself.

"You heard me the first time, Will," I said. "I'm not going to repeat myself." He smiled down at me. I rolled up into a burrito using the covers. It felt like I was getting hugged from all angles. I like it.

"Neeks, one more question," Will said. I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. "Why do you role up into a burrito?" I blushed.

Don't normal people do this for comfort? Well I'm not really normal, am I? I asked silently. Yeah, I have a major problem with physical contact. Except for Wi-... a few select people.

... One select person.

"It feels like a hug," I said. "And you know how I don't like human conta-"

I stopped talking when he sat me up, and hugged me. Will Solace. Hugged Me. Me. Why?

"Um, Will," I asked, while turning a very dark red. He let go.

"Oh, sorry," he said, "I um... had this urge-" I put a finger over his mouth.

"I didn't say stop," I said quietly. He wrapped his arms back around me. We layed back down, facing different directions, attempting to hide the blush that we both had.

"Hey, Will?" I asked, after about ten minutes.

"Hm?"

"What were you going to say? Yesterday at the beach?"

There was a short pause. He tightened his grip around me and I felt him smile into ,y ear and whisper...

"I like you, Neeks." At those words, there was a huge bang on the door.

Jason came crashing in.

"Did you two kiss? Did we miss the kiss?" He asked, clearly over excited. Percy came running in after him.

"No, I don't think so," Percy said, studying our faces. Jason held up a camera.

"Um... can we?" They both said in unison.

"Get out!" Will and I said at the same time. Jason took and quick picture of us cuddling and ran out with Percy. They were both having a huge fit of giggles.

I looked at Will. He was blushing, and I think I was, too. I held my hand up and put it on his face. I caressed his cheek, his jaw, and when I went to return my hand to my side, he grabbed it. And just held it, as we fell back to sleep.

(A/N) You can't really blame them for going back to sleep. It was like... what? Six in the morning? I wouldn't wake up at that time, even if Aphrodite was going to burden me into something horrible. Like a Prom Queen or something!

Question: Have I been putting off Solangelo for too long?

My answer: Yeah, and it's probably going to happen really soon!
