Along the Shore...

Nico sat lonely on the dock with his feet wading the water. He stared beyond the ocean's horizon, with a lot on his mind. He never experienced the emotions of being heartbroken. He didn't realise. ... Until now, how much love hurts.

A tear rolled down his cheek. He ignored it, but it was into matter of seconds, a wave of tears overcontrolled him. He didn't try to hide it, either.

He just say there with his face in his hands... And cried... (Yes, I know The son of Hades cried!?! But it's the only way to let it out)

Will and Annabeth were heading to the Dining Hall when they came across Nico. Will clearly didn't want to see Nico because he kept walking and when he realized that Annabeth wasn't walking with him, he stopped and turned around.

"Aren't you coming?", Will asked. Annabeth gave him a death stare.

"So, this is it?", Annabeth angrily said. "Your just going to let him go by walking away?"

Will remained silent. "This isn't you, Will", Annabeth said, as her hair flowed in the breeze. "You're better than this. . . you can't let hatred build up inside you like this!" Says Annabeth.

Will stood where he was at. "I- . . . I can't . . ."

Annabeth walked closer to Will. "Yes, you can, you can make everything right, the way it was, I believe in you, I see the smarts in your brain"

Will looked at Nico, then back at Annabeth. She nodded her head. So, Will walked over to Nico and sat next to him.

"I'm sorry," Will said. It startled Nico, as his eyes opened wide in shock. Nico whiped his eyes clear.

"W-will?" Nico said, softly. "I thought you were leaving." He looked away at the water.

Will sighed, "I realised. . . you're more important. . . I should've never pushed you away. . . It's fine if you don't forgive me. . ." he stood up. Nico stood up too.

"No, Will. . .I will always love you" said Nico.

And Will faced Nico, as Nico grabbed Will as he fell back in the water. And guess what?

IT WAS THE BEST UNDERWATER KISS EVER!

(In your face Percy!)
