PJO One-Shots (Fluff)

Jealously (Solangelo)

It takes a lot to make Will jealous, especially the kind of jealous that drove him into spying on his boyfriend. He started dating Nico a little after the giant war, and Will loved every minute of it. Nico was adorable when he wasn't scowling at everyone constantly, he considered himself lucky to be one of the few people to gain Nico's affection. Sure, he noticed other campers try to take him away from Will, but he trusted Nico. Plus, most of the time Nico didn't even know that they were hitting on him, thanks to his innocence. One of the perks of having a boyfriend from the 1940s. But Will wasn't perfect. He noticed how most of Nico's close friends are fairly attractive and had been through a lot more with him. His worries specifically surrounded Jason and Percy. Will knew that Nico used to have a crush on Percy, his first crush ever to be clear. And Jason was the first person he came out to, even if it was by force, it was still a big deal for both of them. After the giant war, they only got closer to Nico. Constantly hovering over him, spending most of their time by his side. It was true that both of them were straight and were in serious relationships, but paranoia never listened to reason. What if one of them, or both, decided to experiment ? Who better than their gay best friend to try it out. Will consider going to Nico about this, but what would he say ? He couldn't tell him to stay away from his friends, especially with no proof of wrongdoing. So, for now, Will suffered in silence...while watching him secretly. Nico liked to spar in the arena with Jason and Percy before lunch, them being two of the few that could keep up with him anymore. Will hid behind one of the stone slabs, watching them closely. It was like a furnace out here, despite it only being early in the afternoon. All three of them in soaked tee-shirts until Jason eventually took his off, followed by Percy. Nico kept his on, but only because he was a little more self-conscious than the others. Will had been so focused on glaring at the two, he didn't notice Annabeth and Piper walking up to him.

***PIPER POV***

Annabeth and Piper walked into the arena, their boyfriends were currently sparing with Nico. Both of them expected that what they didn't expect to see was Nico's boyfriend hiding behind one of the stone slabs, spying on them. "Will?" he froze up for a moment before slowly turning around "Hey, Piper. Annabeth. What are you two doing here ?" Annabeth crossed her arms "We could ask you the same thing." "Well, I...uh.." "Are you spying on Nico ?" Piper asked even though they all knew she knew the answer to her own question, plus the guilt on Will's face was clear. "Why ?" Annabeth asked when it was obvious that Will wasn't going to answer. His face turned red, realization hit Piper. "Ohhh, you're jealous !" "How did you..." "Please, it's not that hard to put together. Plus, I'm a child of Aphrodite, I can sense these kinds of things." Will slumped to the ground and buried his face in his arms. "Ugh, this is so embarrassing." "So, why are you jealous ? And how does this involve our boyfriends ?" Will explained his fears to them. They did their best to be understanding, but for some reason, it only seemed to make Will feel worse about the entire thing. "It's nothing really, I'm just being paranoid. And a horrible boyfriend." Piper lowered herself and put a hand on his shoulder "Will, first of all, your a great boyfriend. Nico is lucky to have you, and second..." "...this isn't something we haven't questioned ourselves if we're being honest." Annabeth finished for her. "Really ?" she helped pull him off the ground "Yeah, really." He brushed some dirt off his clothes "So, why are you two here anyway ?" Piper allowed the change of subject "We're going to grab them to have lunch together. We were going to invite you and Nico as well, but it sounds like you two need some alone time." Will gave her an appositive look "Thank you." "Well, we have a little time until we need them. We could just wait here for a bit." she suggested, apparently Will's paranoia was contagious. "Good idea." Annabeth committed. All of them watched from behind the stone slab and watched their boyfriends. None of them noticed that Percy had seen them and heard parts of their conversation. He went to Jason with the new information and they planned a little revenge for Will spying on them and Nico, and for bringing their girlfriends into it.

***TIME SKIP & WILL POV***

Will was at the end of his rope. Sure, in the beginning, he might have been just paranoid, but now...he wasn't so sure. He thought it was bad before, it had only gotten worse, so much worse. A couple of days after his incident with Piper and Annabeth, it seemed Percy and Jason tool every opportunity to be with Nico at all times. Will was starting to panic. When the heat finally began to set into the camp, Chiron gave them all a free day to spend at the lake to cool off. Percy managed to convince Nico to get in, despite the fact that he couldn't swim. Children of the big three usually don't do well in each other's elements. Nico basically glued himself onto Percy in fear of possibly drowning if he let go. Percy teased him for being a scaredy cat but allowed the smaller demigod to hold onto him. The next day, a huge storm went over the camp, even though the weather was supposed to be controlled. The second Nico heard the first sharp sound of thunder, he locked himself in his cabin. Very few people knew about his Astraphobia, but one of those people was Jason. He was the one who convinced him that he couldn't spend the whole day in his cabin, assuring him it was safe to come out. They also spent their meal time with him. Chiron had given up on caring about who sat where, so that wasn't unusual. But now they had Nico sandwiched between him, constantly "accidentally" touching Nico's shoulders, back, and leg. What was once seen as a perk, became a downside. Nico was oblivious about all of it, apparently, none of it seemed out of the ordinary. Annabeth and Piper, however, caught on quick, but they were just as clueless as Will. It was all driving him crazy, but he kept it together. That was until they all played truth or dare. Nico was hosting a big sleepover in his cabin, all of the seven were invited. Leo had suggested the game an hour into the night, everyone was bored so they all agreed. He managed to sit next to Nico, barely beating Jason to the spot. He moved next to Percy, who was on Nico's other side. Next to Will was Annabeth, who also didn't look happy about where Percy was sitting. The game was fun, taking his mind off of all the craziness for a while until it was Percy's turn. "Nico, truth or dare." "Dare, of course." "I dare you to sit in Jason's lap." Nico turned a light shade of pink, Will lost it. He shot up and glared at Percy, Annabeth grabbed his arm to prevent him from lunging at her boyfriend. "Okay, what the Hades is up with you two ?! Stop trying to steal my boyfriend !!!" No one moved, it was unlike Will to yell. Jason and Percy were the first to break the silence...by laughing so hard that they couldn't breathe. Piper snapped her fingers, they stopped "Explain yourselves, NOW !" her voice was thick with charmspeak. He couldn't tell if that was intentional or not. "We saw you spying on us in the arena, I could hear you guys talking." Percy began "He figured we'd teach you a lesson." Jason added "Thought we might get back at you by proving your "accusations" right." Nico looked the most confused out of all of them "What "accusations" ?" There were a million things he could say to him, a hundred different ways to explain himself, but nothing came out. All of the frustration had come crashing down on him, his only clear thought was that he was not going to have this conversation in front of everyone. Annabeth released him when he pulled away, she either figured that he wasn't going to attack Percy or she didn't care if he did. He picked up his small boyfriend and carried him away. "Will, what...put me down...this is MY cabin !" "I don't care, I'm not leaving you with those two..." the door closed before Will could finish, but everyone got the idea. Jason and Percy started to laugh again, shocked and amused by the reaction. Annabeth shook her head "You guys laugh all you want, but I have a feeling it's going to be a while before you're allowed near Nico again." And she was right, Nico stayed in the Apollo cabin that night. As soon as the rest of the seven left Nico's cabin, he sneaked Nico back there and locked the door. Every time Jason or Percy got closer than 10 feet, the sun would focus on them to the point they both got nasty sunburns. They learned to never mess Will like that again.
