PJO One-Shots (Fluff)

Imaginary (Solangelo)

***OC POV***

"Here comes another one," Sam called out. Emily turned her head. A girl with brown hair walked up to Will, most likely for the same reason as the rest had. There was a dance on Friday and Will seemed to be a magnet to all single people. It wasn't hard to see why ; he was a nice, good looking guy. Will quickly turned her down and sat down in front of Emily, next to Sam. "Dam, that's the third one today." Will pushed his tray to the side and buried his face in his arms "I know. I kind of feel bad." Emily rolled her eyes. Only he would feel bad for rejecting them when he had a perfect reason why. "Well, I'm pretty sure that your boyfriend would mind if you took someone else." Sam crossed his arms "Oh, so you're still going with the imaginary boyfriend excuse." Will lifted his head up and glared at Sam "Nico is not imaginary, he's real." Sam didn't look convinced. Sam had only moved to their school two weeks ago, so he had yet to see Nico in person. It didn't help that there wasn't a single photo of him either. The only reason that Emily believed him was because he met him last summer right before Will left for camp. "He's telling the truth, Sam. I've met him." "Whatever, I think you two are just messing with me." They ate the rest of their lunch in silence.

***TIME SKIP & WILL POV***

It was finally time for the dance. The entire gymnasium was covered in decorations and music could be heard from outside the room. Emily said she was going to be a little late, so that left him with Sam for now. To add salt to the injury, Nico was also running late. He had to suffer through half an hour of Sam relentlessly questioning him. Emily eventually showed, he was so happy he almost cried. "Thank gods, your here !" Emily smiled at him, Sam looked at him with wounded pride "Hey !" "Where is Nico, I'd thought he'd be here by now." "Yeah, where is this imaginary boyfriend of yours ?" Will didn't even dignify Sam's question with a response and instead focused on Emily. "He's running late, probably traffic or something. But he should be here any minute now." For the time being, he danced with his friends as he waited for Nico. They took a break after another half hour. "Common man, just admit it. He doesn't exist." Will was about to tell him to shut up, but a familiar voice stopped him. "Who doesn't exist ?" He turned around and saw Nico dressed in a black suit. "Nico you're here !" "About time !" Emily moved to hug Nico. "Hey, Em. Sorry I'm late, had some car trouble" Sam looked at Nico, then back at Will, then back at Will. "Wait, he really exist ?" "We've been trying to tell you, knucklehead." Nico looked confused "What's going on ?" "It doesn't matter now, let's just enjoy the rest of the dance." They all did just that. Emily even requested a slow song for the two of them and secretly took pictures of them slow dancing. He would ask her to send them to him.
