oh budddd

bunch of time skips

"well, it was fun while it lasted," percy said, offering his hand. "annabeth started texting me. Will told her we were fake, and she says i'm a complete idiot for doing that, but she also thanks me for helping her realize her true feelings. so, you've been a great service, nico di angelo."

"right back at you," i winked. he closed his locker and calmly sighed.

"i will miss our strutting down the halls and making everybody grossed out by how cute we are, though," he said.

"me too," i frowned. "but now you can do that with annabeth!"

"and hopefully we'll be able to join forces if you ever find out what you and Will are doing," he said.

"hopefully," i rolled my eyes. "and i only have a few months until i go to new york."

his eyes widened. "wait, does that mean-?"

i cheered. "i got in!"

he laughed and hugged me hard. "oh my gosh, that's incredible nico! but i'm going to miss you, truly."

i chewed on my lip, walking with him out of the school building. "i don't know if i'm going."

percy's eyes widened even more and he punched me in the shoulder. "don't be an idiot!"

"there's just something here that i can't bring with me to new york."

percy awed. "Will?"

i shrugged. "yeah."

"but you don't even know what you two are going to do, you're just friends with benefits," he said. "you can't give up your dream for a boy."

"what if being with Will is my dream?" i asked, stopping him in his tracks.

he sighed. "just think about this, nico. long and hard."

"listen," i explained, "i'm not giving that stuff up for any reason. if Will says he loves me, i'll stay."

"i do like a love story," percy smiled. "i support you, nico, i hope you and him end up together. no matter what, you've got my support."

"thanks, perc."

1 month later

"i'm going to miss that when you go to new york," Will panted, as he laid by my side in bed.

"you'll come to visit, right?" i said, rolling over and staring into his eyes.

"of course," he said, seriously and offered his pinky finger.

i tied it with mine. "good, cause i don't know how my life would be without you."

he ran his fingers through my hair. "you're gonna be a star."

i took my hand in his free one. "so are you. you're going to write. books, movies, broadway plays."

"i doubt i'll get that far," he admitted. "but you, nico, you have something amazing about you. you have the nerdy and personality of a star."

"i love you, Will," i said.

he opened his mouth as if he were going to respond. instead, he just asked, "do you want me to help you pack?"

i frowned but said, "sure."

1 week later

i was sitting at my piano when i heard small footsteps enter my room. the next thing i knew, i had a paper slammed in front of me.

i looked up at small little Bianca. her eyebrows were furrowed. "i have started a petition," she declared. "everybody in class signed it."

i scanned down the names all written in colored pencils and began to tear up.

"you'd make a fine president astronaut someday," i said, pulling her close and kissing her forehead.

"i got 23 signs! you can't leave now," Bianca shrugged as if to say "oh well."

i chuckled softly. "i wish it was that easy, B," i said.

"if it helps her case, i don't want you to go either," hazel admitted, appearing in the doorway.

i looked up and smiled, offering my free arm to hazel. hazel wrapped her arms around my waist along with Bianca.

"you guys are gonna make me sob," i said.

"you're already making me sob," hazel laughed, already crying. "can you blame me? how am i expected to live without my best friend?"

"you can stay here," Bianca suggested. "forever."

"i love you, guys."

"we love you too."
