Alright, this is going to be a short chapter fic and I'll be updating as often as I can with school and all. So, let's see, red hair, girlish arms, less then satisfactory writing skills, nope not uncle rick, and that means I don't own PJO. Without further ado, read on.
Wills POV
When I first met him he was soaked in water, grinning like a maniac and trudging out of the canoe lake with the other victims of what would later be called "the time Thalia totalled the sun."
The first thing he said to me was "Wow you look a lot like that guy, is he your brother?" he asked pointing at Apollo who was currently smirking attractively and hitting on the hunters. "Are you a god too?"
"Hahaha No, he's my dad actually, I'm a demigod, you don't just meet gods, they're kind of a big deal" I replied
"But he can't be your dad! You're the same age, how old are you 15?"
"No I'm 13 and gods can change their appearances, otherwise they'd all look like, a million years old and that wouldn't do any favours for their self-esteem, not that Apollo needs much help in that department. From what I've heard I mean, I only met him once."
"He's your dad and you only met him once?"
"Oh… um…yeah" I said scratching the back of my neck awkwardly, "we campers aren't exactly close with our parents. I'm lucky I met him at all, it was sort of an accident." I said with a small reminiscing smile.
"Oh" he said sounding thoroughly disappointed.
Oh you Idiot solace! Of course he was looking forward to meeting his godly parent! You didn't have to break it to him on his first day! I thought to myself as soon as I saw the smile fade from his face.
The absence of his childish grin made him look so much older, more solemn. He had the same look every camper gets when they realise their godly parent may not even know they exist, you see it a lot around the over-crowded Hermes cabin, but somehow it was especially heart-wrenching on this boy's face.
"But there's loads of other cool stuff!" I added have "come on I'll show you around"
"Okay. Just let me tell Percy and Bianca, I'll be back." he said with a hint of an Italian accent and a smile returning to his lips.
Soon he came running back, giving me the thumbs up. Looking over the boys shoulder I saw the girl I'd assume is Bianca give me a small smile and mouth the words "Thank you" And Percy, somewhat less subtly mouth "I feel for you" I smiled back and rolled my eyes at percy, this new kid didn't seem too bad.
"So what's your name kid?" I asked
"Nico, and I'm not a kid I'm ten years old" he responded.
Yep that's it, sorry I'll make another chapter soon.
'Til next time,
