The Sun's Shadow - Solangelo {DISCONTINUED}

"So," Will asked when they got in the car. "Where d'you wanna go?"

"I don't care. How about that new store in the mall, Spirit Halloween?" Nico replied. Will shook his head.

"We could go to McDonald's." He grinned.

"How did you--"

"Percy told me."

So, the two demigods agreed to eat lunch at McDonald's then walk around Central Park.

When they got to McDonald's, the lady behind the cash register immediately recognized Nico. "Hey!" She beamed. "You're that kid that was with Percy in the labyrinth ages ago!"

Both Nico and Will looked confused.

"I don't know an Elizabeth." Nico said, looking at the girl's name tag. Although, she did look familiar with her curly red hair and paint splattered jeans...

"Well, I go by Elizabeth now. It's been ten years." She said.

Will clapped his hands together and forced a smile. I bet they dated at some point, he thought. The lady rolled her eyes.

"Nico! It's me! Rachel! Rachel Elizabeth Dare."

"Oh yeah. By the way, Percy's taken." Nico said sarcastically. That comment pretty much ended the whole conversation and he and Will ordered their food.

When they sat down at the table, Will sighed.

"Did you and Rachel...date?" He asked awkwardly. He's probably wondering why I care, now. Nice going, Will! He scolded himself.

"No," replied Nico casually. "Why would you care, anyways?"

Will winced. "Um, well, er, I...Um.."

Nico decided to change the subject. Yet, the subject he changed it to wasn't better at all. If anything, it's worse.

"Can I tell you something I haven't really had the courage to tell anyone else?"

"Of course, Nico. You can tell me anything." Oh gods! Will thought. You just sounded like the gay slob you are! He started scolding himself in his mind again.

"Here goes nothing..." Nico said. "I'm...Um....er....gay..."

Will, obviously, looked stunned. "Why...why would you tell me?" Of course, he was so happy. But he would never tell Nico that.

"Because I like...because I like..I love you, Will."

Will smiled. Before Nico could ask why he was smiling, Will kissed him on the cheek. "I love you too, Nico."

Nico smiled, something he rarely did. "What now?" He asked.

"Now we go to Central Park to walk around. I wouldn't give up my plans just because I found out that the love of my life loves me back." They both laughed and walked out of McDonald's. As they left, Rachel Elizabeth Dare stopped recording and sent the video to Annabeth, who would show it to Percy.
