Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 10

Will sighed and stared into the cloudless blue sky. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. He had been avoiding his mother for a while now but tomorrow at the wedding he will have to see her and he didn't know if he would be able to handle it.

He had sent Nico away a while ago so he could have some alone time and clear his thoughts but now he just missed his boyfriend even more. He was filled with anxiety and apprehension and he just needed something solid right now.

"Hey," a soft voice said from behind him.

Will looked up and watched as Percy and Jason approached him. Will acknowledge them with a nod and patiently waited for them to tell him why they were here.

Jason laid down on his right and looked up at the sky with Will. Percy did the same on his left.

They just stayed like that for a while.

"Nico is reinforcing the barrier around the house." Jason said. "He's really worried about you. He may act tough but he's really scared you might do something stupid. He doesn't know what to do. He's not really good at this kind of thing."

Will sighed and frowned. "I know. It took me forever just to make him understand that I love him and that it is possible for someone to love him. I know him better than anyone else and hurting him is the last thing I want."

"He's a good kid. He just never really got the chance to get close to someone who wasn't already his family. This is new to him. I know you're going through a very difficult time right now but all we ask is that you don't push Nico away in the process. He's finally opening up to someone and I would hate to have to kill you for breaking his heart because I know that would just break his heart even more." Jason continued matter-of-factly.

Will turned his head and looked at Jason. The blond was on his back with his eyes closed taking in the sunlight.

"I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful and brave boyfriend such as Nico but now that I have him I don't plan on letting him go. I mean he survived Tartarus all by himself and he saved the world twice and he's just so amazing. And I would never intentionally push him away. I would also never intentionally hurt him. I love him. He is my everything and I can't even imagine my life without him." Will confessed. "And I would never want to."

"You should talk to him. He could help you. I know that if my mom and I had such an awful argument I would want Annabeth there." Percy said.

Will sat up and rubbed his forehead. "Where is he?"

"Like I said. He's reinforcing the barriers around the house. He should be nearly done by now. Maybe you could help him finish."

Will nodded. "Thank you." he said sincerely.

The blond sprinted off towards the end of the barrier. Sure enough his boyfriend was there saying the end of the hymn and sprinkling some powder on the ground. Will watched as the powder disappeared and grew a small plant.

The son of Hades turned around once he was done and stared at Will. "If you're here to help then you're a bit late."

Will just pulled Nico into his arms and held him tightly. "I love you."

Nico froze but smiled and hugged back. "I love you too. What brought this up?"

Will chuckled, "What's wrong with me wanting to sweep the boy I love off his feet and hug him."

"First of all, you did not sweep me off my feet and second, that's really gay."

"Newsflash, di Angelo. I am gay. In fact I am currently dating a boy. A really hot boy who I love very much. I'm not even a little bi-curious."
