PJO One-Shots (Fluff)

Happy Valentine's Day (Solangelo)

***NICO POV***

He hated Valentine's day. He never understood it and found the idea of the holiday useless, he also didn't like it when some of the Demeter and Aphrodite kids covered the entire camp in pink and red decorations. Nico never really considered celebrating the holiday, that was until he started dating Will Solace. Will was definitely the kind of person who loved Valentine's day, he thought it was romantic. That fact convinced Nico that he should at least get Will a gift, plus it felt good to do something for Will since the son of Apollo did so much for him. After a short talk with Piper, he decided to make Will a charm bracelet (Well, he designed it. He had asked for Leo's help to make it.) Leo told him that he could drop it off to Nico during lunch. He was a little nervous that Will might not like it, but Nico pushed the thought aside. He really hoped Will will like it.

***WILL POV ***

Will was nervous. He knew that Valentine's day wasn't Nico's favorite holiday, and that was putting it mildly, but he still wanted to get him something special. He talked to Piper, one of Nico's close friends, to get an idea of what he might like. She happily helped him out and gave him the idea to make a charm bracelet. She had gotten the idea so fast, it made Will a little suspicious. But he didn't want to look the gift horse in the mouth, so he buried the thought. He went to Leo for help, he was one of the best crafters in camp and also one of Nico's friends. Will told him what he wanted to make for Nico, an elfish grin spread across Leo's face "Yeah, I've made something like this before." Then he told Will that he would drop it off during lunch. He hoped that Piper was right about this, but it was too late to do anything now so there was no real point in fretting over it.

***PIPER POV***

Piper sat down at an empty table near where Nico and Will usually ate lunch. She heard Leo walking up to her "Well, aren't you clever ?" he told her. Piper looked up at him with as innocently as possible "Whatever do you mean ?" Leo obviously didn't buy it "Yeah right. So you're telling me that you had nothing to do with both Will and Nico getting the same gift for each other, or how they both went to me." She sipped on her doctor pepper out of the bronze cup, hiding her smile. "Well, I'm dropping both gifts off to them when they get here, so..." "You have both gifts on you, right now ?" "Yeah" Leo pulled out two boxes, one black one white, and showed them to Piper. "Let me guess, white ones for Will and black ones for Nico." Leo nodded. "How about I drop them off for you ?" He looked at her with curiosity "What are you up to ?" she took them out of his hands "You'll have to wait and see."

***NICO POV***

"Nico, just the person I was looking for." Piper ran up to him. "Hey, Piper. What do you need ?" she smiled at him and handed him a black box. "Leo told me to give this to you." there was a slight blush on his face as he took it "Thanks." "No problem, see you later. Oh, and Happy Valentine's day." He watched her walk away, disappearing into the crowd.

***WILL POV***

"Hey, Will. I got something for you." Will turned around to face her. In her hand was a small white box, he realized what it was "Leo told me to give this to you, I'm guessing you took my advice." Will nodded and took the box from her "Thank you. When do you think I should give it to him ?" She tilted her head for a moment, a thing she did when she was thinking "You could give it to him now, I mean, there's no reason not to." Will nodded "Good idea." he made his way to his boyfriend's table.

***PIPER POV***

After giving both gifts to the boys and convincing Will to give his right away, she sat next to Leo. "You gave them the wrong boxes, but I'm guessing you already knew that." She smiled at her friend, then focused her attention back onto Nico and Will. She was close enough to them so she could hear their conversation, but not close enough where they would notice her watching. Will sat next to Nico, greeting his boyfriend with a smile as he hid the box behind his back. "I know you don't really like Valentine's day, but I still got you something. I hope you don't mind." Nico blushed "I got you something too." Both took their boxes out at the same time. It didn't take them long to notice the similarity of size, but neither one of them said anything yet. They traded boxes, then opened them. The look of confusion was clear even from a distance. "This one's yours." both said simultaneously.

***NICO POV***

Nico did not expect to open the box and see the bracelet that he got Will. It was made of strands of light brown leather and golden charms. There were four charms in total : a sun, a bow and arrow, a caduceus, and a skull. The first three obviously represented Will, the last one Nico. Will looked as confused as he was. But when he met his eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. Will reacted the same way. The boxes must have been mixed up. He handed him the box he was holding, which was actually meant for Will. Nico did the same. Apparently, they both had the same idea as his gift was also a charm bracelet, it was also similarly styled. The bracelet that Will gave him was similar to the one he designed for him, only black and silver : crossbones, a tiny sword, the symbol of Pluto, and a little sun. Nico loved it, it was perfect. He looked up to see if Will liked the one he made for him, only to be pulled closer and hugged. "It's perfect, thank you." Nico hugged him back, at least until he noticed a bunch of campers staring. They both sat back down, their faces dark shades of red. No one missed it when Will sat closer and snaked his arm around Nico's shoulder. He would have to remember to thank Piper later, knowing the daughter of Aphrodite had something to do with all of this.
