Cheating

Jason (once again in a vent because why not?) POV
"I'm so in love!" I hear Will say to one of his siblings. I'm not sure which one, there are several, and I can't see through the dust filled air filter. Ugh. Seriously, guys, you can't expect me to perv successfully with a dirty air vent. Please take your friends into consideration when (not) cleaning your cabin.
"I have never loved anything more!" Will says.
"So chunky! So amazing! I'm always left both satisfied and wanting more!" The air turns on, blasting me again with dust and a rush of freezing air. Although Will's words are now covered in dust, I hear what he says very clearly. "I love Jeff. I feel bad cheating, but it's so worth it." He paused. "Don't tell Nico."

What? No. I leave immediately to tell Nico.
"Nico!" I shout. "Open your door, it's important!" He begrudgingly opens his door, and I storm in.
"What do you want, Jason? I'm exhausted." Nico complains. Well, his bad day is about to get a whole lot worse.
"Nico, don't stab me." I say, stepping toward him. "Your boyfriend is cheating on you."
Nico laughs halfheartedly. "Sure, Jason." I just stare at him until he frowns ever more deeply. "Wait..... Are you serious?" I nod. "I heard Will talking about his new lover , Jeff." I say sadly. Nico bites his lip. "I knew it. Well, no, I didn't. I never suspected this. He said Jeff was a friend. Just some Demeter camper who helped out in the infirmary." Nico blinked tears out of his eyes. "No." He whispered. "This can't be true." But it was. It was true, Will was cheating. And it would never again be the same.

Nico's POV
I couldn't believe it when Jason told me. I thought he was telling a bad joke. So he snuck into Will's vent once more, and recorded Will talking, even though I told him not to.
"I always shower afterwards, so no one can smell it on me and tell what I've been doing." Ew, Will. "Don't tell my boyfriend about this." "Mmmm. Oh yeah, so good." "Every time I do this, I think 'this'll be the last time', but I keep coming back." Also some stuff about how his lover was 'thick' and how he 'filled him so good.' I should have saved my 'Ew.' Will, why the Hades are you talking like this with your siblings? I thought I knew you.

It takes me a while to accept it. I still feel sad and angry. I'm going to the Apollo cabin to break up with Will right now. I don't think very much of myself, but I can't believe he would do this. I.... Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Don't stab him. You love- no, loved- him. I try to not love him. He wronged me greatly, and I will not forgive him. However, as much as I try, I do not hate him. I still see him as a beautiful person. There's only one way out of this.

I'm about to open the door to the Apollo cabin. It's never locked, and apparently Will didn't think to lock it now. I stop as my hand is on the handle, hearing Will moan from inside. I'm going to see him with someone else, aren't I? But if I don't break us up now, I never will. So I open the door.

I do see Will, but not with a boy. He's holding an enormous jar of peanut butter. In his other hand is a spoon, and he's shoveling peanut butter into his mouth. "Nico? Don't look at me! I'm disgusting!" Will shouts when he sees me, holding out his hands to shield the sun from his sky blue eyes. "Damn right you are! How dare you?" I yell. Then I realize that Will isn't cheating on me, but eating peanut butter. So I sit next to him and ask him what the Hades is going on.
"I bought seven jars of peanut butter, and I'm so ashamed that I ate them all. I'm so sorry." He sobs as I pat his shoulder.
"So you aren't cheating on me with infirmary Jeff?" I ask him. He looks at me, confused. "No. Jeff? He never puts away the bandages when he's supposed to."
"So what did you mean earlier?" I ask before telling him what Jason told me.

Will's POV
"Jason, what the Hades?" I ask him.
"What the Hades, me? What the Hades, you!" Jason shouts. "You're cheating on my little brother." I roll his eyes.
"Nico isn't your little brother, and I'm not cheating on him." Jason steps toward me threateningly. "Don't lie to me, Will. Let's talk, one blond to another. Why didn't you want anyone to know? Why did you say, 'I feel bad cheating?'"
"It was peanut butter, Jason. Jiffy peanut butter. I was cheating on my healthy diet. I ate seven jars of sugary nut butter. You misheard me. This is what you get for hiding in my vent." And I walk away to the Hades cabin, where my (only) boyfriend is hiding from me.

Nico's POV
Oh gods. While I'm happy Will isn't cheating on me, and I'm very happy about this, I feel awful. Now Will probably thinks I don't trust him. Why do I always mess things up. There's a knock on my door, but I don't answer. Maybe they'll go away and I can think about how Will most likely hates me now. But they don't go away, because the door opens. Will walks in. He lies on my bed next to me and wraps his arms around me. He hasn't forgiven me, he's just letting me down gently. At least, that's what I think. But he doesn't let go, he just keeps hugging me. We stay like this for about an hour, but I'm stressed. I need to know.
"Will? Are you mad at me? Do you hate me?" I ask. He waits a moment before answering.
"I was at first." He says in his usual southern accent. "But then I remembered that people had lied to you before. And that I love you. I remembered that we all make mistakes. I ate seven Costco jars of peanut butter, you thought I was boning Jeff. Honest mistake." He kisses my neck. "Plus," He adds, "Jealousy is really cute on you."
