Solangelo One Shots

I'm sorry, who are you?

Request for ffoodie and I took a few liberties with the prompt so I hope it's okay!

Will's POV

He wasn't expecting to find anyone good on Grindr. The vast majority of men are either too horny, too ugly or both so when Will found Nico Di Angelo, 5 miles away, likes dogs, McDonald's and long walks in Central Park. Looking for something real, he swipes right immediately. Part of Will doesn't expect to get an answer. Who would swipe right on freckled, blond, stocky Will Solace, 22, med student, loves Netflix a little too much. So when Nico Di Angelo swipes right on him, too, his heart feels like it's soaring.

Hey. Will is surprised that Nico texts him so soon and he shoots back a hey after waiting about five minutes. He can't come off as too desperate.

Nico- how r u?

Will- good. bored. watching tv instead of studying for a test tomorrow. wbu?

Nico- i was browsing grindr to find a good guy. but it seems like i already found one, so now i have to find something else to do. Will almost laughs and his heart gives a small flutter in his chest. He smiles, his fingers hovering over the keyboard as he thinks of a response.

Will- you're a lot smoother than a lot of the other guys on here, you know that? most of the guys on here are either absolute losers or just looking for a quick bone. or a catfish, but you don't seem like any of those. He sees the three dots pop up where Nico is typing and they disappear for a second before they pop back up again, and a message pops up on his screen.

Nico- yeah, you too. unless you're actually a total loser and i just don't know you well enough, but you seem cool. a little too cool to be flirting with me on grindr, but we can ignore that for now. This time Will laughs out loud and somehow, through the bright glow of his phone screen, he knows he's made a connection.

Percy's POV

"This is a bad idea, Perce, I'm serious," Annabeth says, running her hand up his arm. "He's gonna hate you."

"No, he won't," Percy says, his eyes still trained on the chat. "He'll love me. He needs more confidence anyway. Can't get a boyfriend my ass. Nico could get whoever he wanted. He's attractive, he just won't admit it." He frowns at the screen. "Hey, how do you flirt?"

"You got me just fine," Annabeth says, kissing him softly on the cheek.

"Yeah, but this is gay flirting," Percy says. "It's different. You gotta make different jokes, and talk about different things." He shoots out a quick text to Will Solace, 22, five miles away, med student, loves Netflix a little too much. Part of him feels bad- Will seems nice enough. But that could mean he was doing Nico a favor.

"You're being an idiot," Annabeth says, rolling her eyes. "Say this does work out, and Nico and this Will person somehow meet up. Nico isn't going to respond well when he finds out that you used his picture to catfish people on grindr so that Nico could then get a boyfriend. Not to mention that Nico might even like Will when they meet."

"He'll figure it out," Percy says. "Nico's a resourceful guy. Besides, he complains about being lonely and single every day, so he's not really in a position to be turning nice, attractive guys down right now." He waits for Will's response, glancing at Annabeth to see her roll her eyes. "Hey, excuse me for trying to do something nice for my friend."

"You're making a mistake." Annabeth settles down in the bed, pulling the sheets up over their bodies and glancing over Percy's shoulder. "How's it going?"

"I knew you were interested," Percy says with a smirk. "It's going well, actually. I sort of struck gold." His fingers are rapid fire on the keyboard and halfway through a text, he pauses, glancing down at his girlfriend. "Nico mentioned going to the library to study for a test he has tomorrow at two, right?"
