Percabeth at Goode [PJO]

Chapter 25

Will POV:

"They can wait five more minutes. I wanna hear this."

I could feel their eyes on me, waiting for me to respond.

I sighed, and pulled the arrow out of the hellhound.

"I am Wilson Solace, son of Apollo. Call me Will," I said.

They all looked at me, confunded.

"How come we've never seen you at camp?" Leo asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, I guess you just never noticed me," replied honestly.

"You're the boy who helped us in the battle, I remember you!" Annabeth exclaimed, eyes wide.

"Oh yeah! You've grown, and you're hair's different, we didn't recognise you," Percy added.

Piper's eyes widened. "Oh yeah, you're that healer kid," she said.

I nodded.

"Yeah. I used to be a better healer than I was with a bow, but I started training last year, and now they're pretty much equal. For my 16th Birthday a few months ago, my Aunt gave me this bow," I said.

"Wait, hold up. Artemis gave you that bow?" Thalia said, dumbfounded.

"Yeah," I said.

"Wow, that's a massive compliment, she hates men," Thalia said, surprised.

"Maybe she hates me less because I'll never date one of her hunters," I joked.

There was silence. I'm pretty sure I could hear crickets.

"Anyway, this is my bow. It turns into a necklace," I said, twisting the handle of the bow. It shrank into a small gold necklace with a sun and a moon on it (see photo at the top).

I twisted the pendant again, and it turned back into a bow, an arrow locked in place at the sides.

"This is an enchanted arrow. It's kinda like your pen, Percy, from what I've heard," I said.

I shot the arrow into a tree fifty years away and a few seconds later it reappeared next to the bow in my hand.

"Woah. Cool," Leo said.

I looked at Nico, to see what his reaction would be. He was slumped against the wall, smiling at me, but grimacing at the same time, clutching his side.

"You're hurt!" I exclaimed.

"It's fine, honestly," he said.

"Oh Nico stop being so proud and let me heal you!" I said, aggravated.

Nico blushed and I melted.

I sang the hymn and started healing Nico, as I saw his face relax in relief.

"Better?" I asked, after a few minutes.

He smiled and looked up.

"Better."

I looked into his eyes, and there was a pause.

Then we kissed.

His hands were in my hair, my hands were on his face.

After a few seconds we pulled apart, and everyone around us was smiling.

"You guys are too cute," Leo said, smiling at Nico as he walked away.

Nico flicked his hand upwards.

"Aaah!" Leo screamed. He'd fallen into a crack in the street.

Nico smiled and grabbed my hand, as we walked towards Pret A Manger.

I looked at our entwined hands, my tanned fingers and his pale ones with chipping black nail polish.

I could not stop smiling all the way there.

(A/N: I absolutely love Solangelo so you can be sure to expect lots more of it, it wasn't particularly prominent in Rick's books but I am so excited to elaborate on their relationship cos it's adorable.

Also just read the cutest Solangelo thing:
