Hey guys! It's been a while. (Like a long, long, LONG while). How are you? I figured I should upload something since it's been like 3 freaking months or something like that. I actually wrote this some time ago and decided to upload it to Google + (my name on there is Kiah'sBookCorner if you want to check it out), but I thought: why not upload it here? So here it is! (I hope you enjoy, and I'm sorry if there are any mistakes).

Will Solace was perched on a log after the day's exhilarating – though exhausting – campfire. He was pondering about the most logical and strategical way to clear up the mess that had been made. Earlier, Travis Stoll had decided to start up a marshmallow fight while the campers were singing 'This is Minos' Land'. Will had to admit – it'd been fun, but it left him with a lot of mess to clean up, and he was pretty worn out from having to lead the campfire. Stop whining and get on with it, Will. Gods. Will had always been taught to put up with whatever life threw at him, no matter the circumstance, and he wasn't about to dishonour his family. He got up and off his butt and simply started picking the marshmallow gunk off…well everywhere when a grinning Nico di Angelo walked towards him, coming from the direction of the Zeus cabin. Nico was waving to Jason but was still facing frontwards, and raised an eyebrow when he saw Will all alone, struggling to pick off a melted marshmallow stuck to his jeans. "Need a hand there?" he asked, not even trying to keep the humour in his voice out. Will blushed and looked up to meet di Angelo's eyes. "Shut up, Death Boy," he retorted. "But if you're offering, then I think I need a little help cleaning up…" his eyes scanned the area. "All of this."

"Your siblings didn't offer to help you?" Nico questioned, a little intrigued. His eyebrows were all scrunched up on his face, and it made him look quite cute. Will had to focus to realise that Nico was asking him something. "Oh, uh, I told them they could rest for the night." Will rubbed the back of his neck and looked around. "Kinda regretting that now."

The son of Hades chuckled a little – a sound that made Will's heart dance – then bent down to help him. Will was surprised by the gesture. "I-You don't have to help, Nico. I mean, I was just joking."

Nico still continued to assist Will. "I don't mind. This saves me from having to go to my cabin and attempt to sleep for about the millionth time, so I'm down with it."

A flicker of gratitude made an appearance on Will's face and he tried hard to hide it. Nico noticed it though, and said: "Hey, don't make anything of it. I haven't forgotten that you called me 'Death Boy' a second ago." Will laughed at Nico's remark and proceeded with picking marshmallow gunk off the grass. Neither of them said a word when their hands accidently bumped while cleaning up the grass.
