p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"Will kissed Nico. Or did Nico kiss Will? Will himself couldn't be sure which meaning that it was a brief brushing of lips. Still it had meant a lot to him. In that brief touch Will felt a spark of hope for a future between them. Determined to find his answer, he sought out Piper./p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;""Hey Pipes." Will greeted from behind her. The two had gotten close after the war when Will confessed his feelings for Nico. " Will. You scared me." He grinned sheepishly. "Okay, so you know how I like Nico. Well, eitherhekissedmeorikissedhimbutitwasshortandidontknowwhattodo." Will said in one breath. Piper looked lost. "Um slow down there buddy. All I got is what I already knew."/p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"Sighing, Will sat down and explained once more. "Nico and I had the briefest brushing of lips and I don't know who kissed who or what to do." Piper about squealed her head off before Will clamped a hand over her mouth. "Just tell the whole camp why don't you." He said through gritted teeth. "Okay." Piper began after he moved his hand, "Go confront Nico. Figure out what happened and what to do now." Nodding Will stood up. Grinning at Piper, he ran toward Cabin 13 with a little skip in his step./p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;""What do you want Solace?" Nico growled. "Don't worry I just want to talk." Nico began to slip into the shadows. "Oh now you don't!" Will said pulling him into the sun, "No Underworld-y stuff, doctor's orders! Anyways, I wanted to talk about yesterday. You know the thing."/p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"Nico nodded slowly. "Look it was an accident. I just saw the moment and you know. I shouldn't have acted without thinking. My feelings got the best of me. I'm sorry I was so stu-" Nico was cut of by Will smashing his lips to his. At first he was stiff, then he melted into Will. Suddenly, Nico remembered himself and pushed Will away."/p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"He fell to his knees. "No" he whispered. "Nico?" "No" he said louder this time, "I told myself I wouldn't get close. I told myself I would stay away. I can't go through losing someone again. Will, I just can't." Will sat down beside him and took his face in his hands./p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;""We could change that."/p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;""Will, I can't promise you I can stay alive and you can't either. We're demi-gods. A hero's fate is nothing but tragic. I can't put you through the pain of me dying and leaving you behind. I would love to date you and be yours. But I can't put you through the pain."/p
p dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"Will kissed him softly. "Sunshine, your worth it."/p
