Everyone knew that Nico and Will liked each other. They could see the little smiles they gave each other, how their gazes seemed to linger just a second too long. It was pretty obvious, once you saw the way they blushed whenever someone mentioned the other boy's name.
Will got the most adorable face when he thought of Nico. His eyes got a far away look in them, like he was staring at a beautiful sunset. He smiled just slightly, a smile different from his normal one, although no one could quite put their finger on what about it was different. It was, simply put, very easy to tell when Will was thinking of Nico.

When Nico thought of Will, it was difficult to know, unless you knew him very well. Hazel could always figure it out. Piper sometimes knew. Percy and Jason were painfully oblivious. Whenever they were told Nico or Will were thinking of the other, they totally freaked out. But it was agonizing to see how much they cared for each other without them knowing, thinking their love was unrequited.

One day, Jason came running up to Piper yelling.

"OTP alert!"

"What's going on, Jason?"

OTP alert was a not-so-secret code they had for when Solangelo did something cute.

"Pipes, brace yourself."

"I live with my loved-crazed Aphrodite half-siblings. I think I can handle knowing that the hands of Nico and Will brushed together at archery, or that you saw Nico sketching Will's face again."

"Yes, yes. I know, you say this every time, but this time it's serious. I caught them..."

He paused for dramatic effect.
"Gazing into each other's eyes lovingly!!!!"

Piper gasped and pretended to faint.
"Oh dear me, how scandalous! What a dashing feat. How dare they do that in public?"

Jason rolled his eyes.
"When you put it that way, it doesn't sound as exciting. But, putting that aside, I have a plan to get Nico and Will together."

"Does it involve a bear trap this time?" Piper shuddered. She replayed the event in her head.

~Flashback~
It was not a rare thing for Jason, Percy, Piper, and Leo to try (and presumably fail) to get Solangelo together. Last time it involved a bear trap.

It hadn't worked, but it had made Will ask a lot of questions when he healed Leo. "Why were you playing with a bear trap?"

"I wasn't."

Will stared at him skeptically.

Leo sighed, "How did you know?"

"These are marks from an animal trap. Also, I heard you screaming about a bear trap when you came in."

"Oh."

By the way, how did you manage to get your shoulder stuck? Did Chiron approve of this?"

"It's a long story. One that I will speak about no further."

"Why..."

"Stop talking, man. I said I'm done. Ow!"
~Flashback End~

"No bear traps this time. No need to worry, Pipes."
"So what's your idea?"
Jason responded simply, "Meet us at Percy's cabin at 7 pm."

Jason was inside with Percy, Leo, Annabeth, who had joined their group after much persuasion from Percy, and Hazel, who was visiting for a few days. They were all getting settled in when Piper arrived. She looked around, waved to Annabeth and Hazel, and sat on an empty bed.
