Nico's POV
The first month was the hardest. The second was almost harder. By the third month without Reyna, I knew I would never really be over her, but I had to move on. I met someone. More I let the relationship happen between us. I came out as bisexual to Will Solace right after the big Gaea thing, but I didn't think that we would get together.

It started with him and Will during archery practice kinda:
The wind was cold and stern like Reyna was. It almost made me start crying then, but I snapped out of it and got changed into my jacket and a black shirt with the words Camp Half-Blood in orange on and some black jeans. Then I took off my jacket deciding to feel the wind and remember again. I hated wearing armor so most of the time I rejected it, unless I really really needed it. First was breakfast, and I had promised Reyna during our journey I would eat more, mostly because I secretly had a huge crush on her or because he was really hungry then. I sat at his table and Jason, ignoring the rules sat across from me.
"No. Go away." I said and grabbed some grapes and coco puffs cereal off the trays going past. I asked his cup for some milk and poured it in my bowl then I asked it for water.
"C'mon let me in. Tell me what has you so down." Jason asked me. Jason had started wearing glasses and he had let his hair grow out.
"Maybe after you get a haircut. Scratch that, I won't tell you, but you should still get a haircut." I said scowling at my food. Jason mumbled something under his breath and got up walking to his table. Mitchell from the Aphrodite cabin sat down across from him.
"What, Mitchell? Go sit at your table." I told him frowning at him, while spooning coco puffs into my mouth.
"Will told Mark, at Heaphestus, to tell Piper to tell Annabeth who told me to tell you that he wants to show you something in the archery field." Mitchell said taking a breath.
"And why didn't Will tell me this himself?" I asked him, looking up from my cereal, but Mitchell was gone. "Fine I'll go to the archery field, Will." I told myself leaving my food there, getting up and walking towards the archery field.
Will was there firing arrows, each one hitting their mark. Then he laid down in the grass looking straight into the sun. How he didn't wince or look away, I have no clue.
"You wanted to see me?" I said across the field. He sat up abruptly and looked at me.
"You came?" He said, standing up. He was six foot two and definitely towered over me. He was dressed in armor and had a stethoscope around his neck. I could see the orange camp half blood shirt from underneath the armor it almost made me chuckle. Almost. I couldn't help but think that he was mildly cute with his blue eyes and curly blonde hair.
"Had nothing else to do." I said gesturing around me. I felt like I was out of place, if all he wanted to do was make me feel out of place. Then I was going to leave. I turned and was starting to walk away.
"Wait! I like you! Okay I like you like a lot, and I've been way to shy to tell you. I want you to come with me so I could show you something." Will said and I felt his hand on my shoulder. He was taller than me by a long shot, I was 5 foot 6 and he was six foot 2, but I turned around and slowly nodded.
"I'll go with you. Truth is I kinda liked you, I was just trying to get over someone else." I said looking up at him. He was smiling like crazy.
"Ok, umm, here come with me this way." He took my hand swinging his bow over his shoulder, I just remembered that I had forgotten my sword, but I let him lead me into the woods. We ran until we reached Zeus's fist and then we stopped. Below the big pile of rocks there was a cave. Will let go of my hand and walked in.
"Come on," he said and I followed him inside. It was dark and in the middle of the room I saw a light. I realized it was coming from the ceiling of the cave.
"Will, it's nice but why did you really bring me here?" I asked looking at the room taking it in. I was very claustrophobic and this room was slightly terrifying to me. I saw a couch underneath the skylight and Will was sitting on it looking at me and patted the seat next to him. "Sit down, Nico." He looked sad all of a sudden and I sat down looking into his eyes.
"I lost a friend near here, during the battle of the labyrinth as we call it. His name was Pollux, son of Mr. D, and he was my best friend and had tried to help in the battle but then I found his dead body later that day. I was younger then, and I took it pretty hard. That's why I want to be a doctor to help people and save them. But that's also why I started to like you." Will sad and looked me in the eyes.
"I can't bring him back, Will. Did you bring me here because it or-" Will was looking at me and suddenly he kissed me. I kissed him back not exactly knowing what was happening but I went along with it. We stopped for a breath and I couldn't help but smile.
"That was why I brought you here." Will said.

For the next month, we dated. Until we didn't. I guess Will got bored or something because I found him in the Aphrodite cabin making out with Maddie Marlin a newcomer and they both had their shirts off. It looked like it was escalating so I shut the door and sat outside, waiting for Will to come out.
When Will finally left it was right before anyone else had gone into the cabin and he looked around nervously. He was sweating like they had just done it a second time from when I saw them.
"You really fooled me, huh?" I said looking at Will. He turned to look at me and had the nerve to look relieved.
"Oh thank the gods. I don't even have to look for you. I was just asking Mads for some help, talking to you." He sounded so concerned, that I almost believed him.
"Yeah by fucking her? You think I didn't hear her or see you guys making out in there!" I yelled at him.
"Fucking her? What are you-" I cut him off.
"Just stop the act okay. We are done. Got it? Done." I said and turned around walking towards my cabin. I opened the door and walked inside. I punched the wall a lot of times, I guess I lost count, tears streaming down my face. Eventually my brain realized the walls were made out of obsidian and I stopped. All of my knuckles on my hand were broken and my hand was really swollen and bloody. I cursed under my breath. I gingerly took off my shirt and shoes and wrapped up my hand in my shirt and laid down in my bed, drifting off to sleep.
