Three Days Together ✔

10 ~ Friends

'I'll see you later, Sunshine.' Nico's eyes widened at the thought, he was going to have to spend more time with that ridiculously handsome boy?

Oh gods, someone kill him already.

'Helllllooooo, Nico!' The Italian heard someone say. He looked up, 'Huh?'

'You done daydreaming?' Percy asked as Nico sighed and nodded.

'Good, now first off, you feeling better?' Annabeth questioned, smiling softly.

'Yeah, Will took good care of me.' He said as Piper smirked and shook her head. Jason scoffed lightly, amused, 'Of course, he did.'

'Hey, I meant to ask Will, but how is the girl?' Nico said, the thought had slipped his mind. Well, it was either that or the fact that he'd only been thinking of Will. 

But the fact that he'd simply forgotten was a much better excuse. 

'She's fine, a week of rest and she'll be as good as new.' The son of Poseidon answered, Nico nodded in acknowledgement. 

A comfortable silence clouded the room as Reyna, who'd seemed very agitated during the whole conversation started yelling. 'NICO DI ANGELO, DO YOU KNOW HOW SCARED WE ALL WERE? HUH? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? DIOS MIO, I WAS SCARED.' She stopped to catch her breath, still glaring at the small goth child she'd started to refer to as her brother. 

Reyna stepped forward, looked Nico in the eye and said, 'If you do anything stupid like that again, then I will sic Aurum and Argentum on you. Understood?'

The boy nodded weakly as the brunette sighed and composed herself. Hazel started to speak now, 'Nico...um,' She shuffled in her place, almost nervous to speak. 'Piper said that you liked that boy, Will?'

Nico's eyes widened as he glared at Piper, giving her a cold, hard stare. The Cherokee girl gave him a look which said, "you-know-it's-true-and-don't-you-dare-deny-it".

The son of Hades hummed in reply, motioning for his half-sister to continue. 

'Right and uh, I just wanted to say that... I don't quite understand? But, I'm happy for you, if you-you like boys, that is.'

Nico gulped, he was glad that Hazel was ok. Even though she didn't quite get it, which he understood, since they'd both grown up in times where homosexuality was basically a sin. 'T-thanks, Hazel.'

The golden-eyed smiled as Frank squeezed her hand and started to speak, 'Nico, I'm cool with you liking boys too. And anyway, Will seems like a nice boy.'

Nico let out a sigh as Jason just chuckled, 'So Neeks, anything you want to tell us?

'Right, something you'll find solace in telling us?' Piper said, smirking, knowing this was annoying the boy.

'I have to tell you, don't I?' The son of Hades asked as all of them nod. He groaned, 'Alright, fine. I... I like Will, ok? I like Will Solace. There yah go.'

The group waited for a few seconds before Piper broke into a fit of giggles, Annabeth muttered something under her breath, a smug smile on her face and Jason cheered. 

Hazel smiled as Frank laughed, 'Well, Nico's not as scary now.'

The boy scoffed at that as Reyna let out a smile and chuckled.

'WAIT A MINUTE,' Percy yelled, as the group turned to him. 'Nico di Angelo, how is Will your type and not me?' He said this with a serious expression before he burst out laughing with the rest of the demigods. 

'So...' Jason said as everyone else listened in. 'Are you going to confess?'

'I mean, he clearly likes you too?' Piper said, raising her eyebrows and shrugging. 

'No, he doesn't.' Nico said with a tone of finality. 

'Why are guys so oblivious?' Annabeth asked Piper as Nico sighed, this was the only topic they would be talking about today. 

'Because they're a waste of time, Annabeth,' Reyna replied.

Piper nodded in agreement, 'A complete waste of time.'

'HEY!' Percy said. 'WE ARE NOT OBLIVIOUS OR A WASTE OF TIME.'

The girls shared a look and a knowing smile and as if on cue, they all muttered with a roll of their eyes, 'Boys.'

'Y-you guys really think Will likes me?' Nico asked suddenly. 

No, Will Solace couldn't possibly like me, right? It's not possible, even though he's bisexual... he probably likes someone else.

'YES.' Jason said, exaggerating his point. 'But Nico, it's your choice whether you decide to do something about it.'

'Jason's right,' Frank agreed. 'You do whatever you want, Nico.'

As Nico took a breath and let the possibility settle in, the door opened with a creak.

'Will. Hi.' Annabeth said, stretching out her words. She turned back to look at the person they had been talking about.

'Uh, hey guys?' Will said. He was holding two plates in his hands.

'Hey man, we were just leaving, right guys?' Jason said, motioning to leave.

'Uh, yeah. Yeah.' Hazel said, nodding vigorously. 

'Right, um, definitely.' Frank agreed with the son of Jupiter, 'We were leaving.'

'Yup, leaving,' Reyna said, already walking out with a wave and wink to Nico.

'Right, Jason. Let's let these two eat lunch?' Piper said, walking out as everyone else followed suit. As the rest of the group left the room, Will sat down on the chair next to Nico's bed, 'Why were they acting so weird?'

Nico scoffed lightly, 'Because they are weird.'

'Good point,' Will said, smiling. 'So, I figure you can leave tomorrow afternoon. But you're still going to be under supervision. Ok?' 

'Yeah, that's fine with me.' The Italian said as Will handed him a plate. The two ate in silence, occasionally blushing as they caught the other staring. As Nico pushed the last spoon of food into his mouth, Will grinned, 'Alright, you have to rest for a bit, ok?'

'Will, I really don-'

'I know and I want to free you of your nightmares at least once. So, I told a Hypnos kid to come by and make sure you have some good dreams.' Will told the boy as Nico smiled a little.

'Hey Clovis.' Will said, looking at a Hypnos kid, who entered the room. The blond, Clovis muttered something and then waved his hand in a quick motion. 'Alright, I'm done.' He said, leaving the room, eyes already drooping. Will shook his head at how much that boy slept.

'Thanks, Will,' Nico said as the son of Apollo smiled again and walked out. He closed the door behind him as thoughts of Will Solace lulled Nico to sleep.
