Happy New Years (Solangelo)

***POV NICO***

It is New Year's Eve at Camp Half-Blood, which means it is absolute chaos. Chiron gave everyone the night off to celebrate. Some went home to celebrate with their mortal families, others stayed at camps with siblings and friends. The ones who stayed could be found in their cabins having a personal party or at the campfire with friends or significant others. All except him of course. Nico could be found sitting on the branch of a tree that grew near his cabin, hiding in the shadows. He didn't really have anyone to celebrate with, at least no one that really wanted him there. His sister was in New Rome with her boyfriend, she offered but he had no desire to be the third wheel. It was the same with the rest of his friends, who were all in relationships, all except him. The only exception being Will Solace, who was single as well. But the thought that Nico had a shot in Tartarus was pure fantasy. Nico became close with Will after the giant war, but he was completely out of his league and also happened to be very very straight. There was no way that he could ever think of Nico as more than a friend, he was lucky that he even thought of him as a friend, to be honest. It was for the best that he kept to himself anyway.

***POV APHRODITE***

Nico di Angelo was starting really to annoy her. She had picked the perfect match for the little son of Hades, but they still remained apart. Nico was too busy refusing to believe that his feelings could be returned in any way to see that Will loved him just as much. At first, she only made it so they spent all of their time together. It wasn't hard, Will was a doctor by heart and Nico was horrible taking care of himself. But he still remained oblivious, making the new excuse that Will was straight. This made the goddess want to pull her hair out, it was obvious that the boy was at least bisexual. Not this time, she told herself, there is no way in Tatertus that he can get out of it this time. Aphrodite had the perfect plan that not even Nico di Angelo could ruin.

***POV WILL***

"Hello ! Earth to Will ! Anyone home ?!" the sound of Kayla snapping her fingers in front of his face brought him back to reality. "Huh ? Oh, sorry, Kayla." she looked at him with concern in her eyes "Are you alright, you've been out of it all day. What's on your mind ?" Will's face turned a bright shade of pink. He had been thinking about his crush, Nico. His mind had been replaying different, little memories of them spending time together. Times like when they would eat lunch together even though campers were supposed to sit at their own tables, or when he would catch Nico tucking his hair behind his ear when he allowed it to get long enough. He would catch little things like that, almost like everything slowed down when he was alone with Nico. "Oh, I get it now," his sister said with a mischievous grin "Your thinking about that boy you've been following around lately." This made Will blush harder "I have not been following him around, you make it sound like I'm stalking him." "Well, you kinda are." "I am just making sure he is okay. He's my friend, that's all." Though he was trying to convince his sister, it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself. Kayla rolled her eyes "Yeah yeah, whatever. It's obvious that you like him." "It is ?" he said in a weak voice, he hadn't even meant to say it, but it came out anyway. Kayla smiled, she had won "Ha, you admit it. You should go find him, maybe even tell him how you feel." Will pouted "What if he doesn't like me back ?" Will didn't want to lose Nico as a friend just because he had a crush on the boy "Oh please, of course, he likes you. You're not the only one who's bad at hiding their emotions, everyone knew except you two. Now shoo, if you want to make it to him before midnight you better hurry." Kayla grabbed him and pushed him out of the cabin before he could even say anything else. Will let out a breath of disbelief. Might as well. He began to wonder where he should start looking. "He's near his cabin," a strange girl's voice said. He turned around to see a beautiful woman in a Camp Half-Blood tee shirt and shorts next to him. Must be an Aphrodite kid. He looked at her, waiting for an explanation for what she meant. BEEP BEEP. He looked at his watch, 11:55. He had five minutes until midnight until go on then, you haven't much time" He decided it was the best idea he had at the moment and started to run to cabin 13.

***POV NICO***

Nico had been sitting on a tree branch in peace until the sound of someone stumbling by him disturbed it. He looked down at who might be the intruder only to find out it was Will Solace. "Will ?" the disbelief obvious in his voice. The blonde demigod looked up at him, flashing his white teeth with a smile. "Hey Nico, just the person I was looking for." "What are you doing here, Solace ?" "Can you come down, I don't want you falling ?" Will yelled, not even bothering to acknowledge his question. Nico rolled his eyes "Go back to your party, Solace. I'm fine !" He heard a noise of frustration "If you aren't coming down..." Will started to climb the tree "...then I'm coming up." It didn't take him long to reach the branch Nico was sitting on, immediately sliding right next to him. "What are you doing here ?" Nico repeated his question from earlier "I need to ask you something..." Will's voice trailed off as she noticed people starting to count down. "...9, 8 7..." "Well, what did you need to ask me ?" he questioned him. Will looked to the side for a moment, then back his face. He seemed to be contemplating something in his head, but it didn't take him long to break out of it. "...4, 3, 2..." "I'll just show you" Before Nico could ask him more, Will pressed himself closer to him and kissed him.

***POV APHRODITE***

Aphrodite cheered, she had been watching them from the roof of a nearby cabin. Finally ! She silently congratulated Will Solace for his excellent timing, even though she was the one who led him there. It had been a long time since she personally involved herself, but it was worth it. At last, the son of Hades will finally get his happy ending, along with a new beginning with someone else.
