Nico

It was a week after the war with Gaea, and Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades, was already slithering back to his old habits. He had just come back from the four days he owed that stupidly-gorgeous blondie Will, at the Hospital Wing. He, and the whole of Camp Half-Blood, had been informed that he wasn't allowed to Shadow-travel for a good two weeks. What was he going to do?

Obviously, he was going to Shadow-travel! Nobody could tell him what he could or could not do, even if that somebody was a handsome, Son of Apollo.

Stop thinking like that! he tells himself. He's not handsome...

As Nico mentally scolds himself for thinking that Will Solace has beauty, he finds himself wandering through the muddy, murky forest surrounding Camp Half-Blood. It was perfectly quiet, and nobody was awake yet. He thought it was perfect for some secrect Shadow-traveling, where some handsome doctor could not see him doing exactly what he told him not to.

Why do I keep calling him handsome, Nico thinks to himself. I think I might be going crazy, having to be stuck in that room with Solace for what, four days now. It's all I've ever seen these few days, his blonde hair falling gently by his sides, his baby blue eyes always looking his way, the way he records everything he did, even when he rested.. I wonder if he does that to all his patients...

Shadow-traveling is exactly what I need, He quickly snaps him back to reality.

Nico searches his surroundings, looking for a tree with enough shadow for him, and sees one about ten metres away, also known as an Evergreen Tree. He walks over to the tree, exitement building up, and forces himself to sink into the shadows of the tree. Deeper, deeper, he thinks. Finally, with a little might, he manages to dissolve completely into the shadow, and he starts to think of a destination that he could travel to without having to drain all his strength for now. Zeus's fist, Bunker 9, how about beside the Camp's lake? Yes Camp Half-Blood's lake, Camp Hafl-blood's Lake, Camp Half-

Suddenly, he feel the sensation of falling, faster, faster, faster, until he lands, with a BIG splash, in Camp Half-Blood's lake, totally submerged in the water, gasping for breath. As Nico tries to get up to the surface, with his arms flailing all around and kicking the water with all his force, he feels strong, muscular arms grab him by his chest area, and pull him up and outward from the water. As Nico manages to get his eyesight back, he sees that the force that had pulled him up was connected to a body which was gorgeous, gorgeously tanned, and gorgeously smiling, with dirty-blonde hair, and baby blue eyes.

Oh! Nico thinks. Then he realises that heavenly-beautiful person was Will Solace, and that Nico was literally in his arms, and he could feel the heartbeat race through him.

"Oh, OH MY HADES!" Nico screams, topples over into the water, and blushes simuentaniusly. Here he was, caught, redhanded, by exactly the doctor that had told him not to do what he was doing, by the doctor he was trying to make at least a little of a good impression on, because he thought he was cute. I have ruined his trust, he mentally cries in his head, until he is again, caught by the muscular, strong, tanned arms of Will, and stops drowning once again.

"Nico! I TOLD you NOT to SHADOWTRAVEL!" Will excalaims, while putting emphasis on specific words in that sentence. "Do you WANT to GET KILLED!?" he continues, his breaths becoming more and more visible, and shock in his amazingly blue eyes. They stare at each other for a moment, Nico also in shock, until Will starts to realise the awkward position in which they were in and starts blushing almost as much as Nico had done previously.

After they both got out of the lake, and both had stopped blushing because they had been in each other's arms for around a minute, Nico asks Will a question, as they were sitting on the banks of the lake, drying out.

What were you doing in the middle of lake at 6 am in the morning?" he asks quietly, while trying to hide his nervousness in his voice. Here they were, sitting side-by-side, with no distractions in the world, as the world was still asleep, and they were having a normal conversation. Could life get any better, the fanboy part of him squealed.

"Well, Di Angelo, as it may or may not seem, I do not only live in the Hospital Wing, tending patients. I also have a life. And with a life I mean doing extreme athletic freestyle swimming any other time I'm not at work." Will looks sideways, at Nico, sees that he's listening, and continues.

"Uh so I swim alot in the lake, especially during mornings where I -" Will Looks around quickly, as if to see if anyone else is there, then mumbles the rest of the sentence in a high-pitched voice " suspectno-oneslooking," He finishes.

It takes Nico a moment to hear what Will just said, then a few more moments to understand it. "You- oh okay," Was all he could muster to hearing his new (dare he say crush) secret.

"I know it's weird for a son of Apollo to enjoy swimming so much, but, uh, it feels nice?" he finishes the sentence with a question.

He could tell Will was blushing, and he could tell Will felt uncomfortable telling his secrect, because as soon as he had said it, he started fidgiting around, and staring at the ground, as if he felt vunerable.

Now, Nico was no expert on how to be a good friend, or even a friend, but it was like a small, female voice was whispering in his ear. Give Him A Hug Give Him A Hug, she kept saying, on and on. Nico decided to trust the women's voice, despite the last time a women had whispered in his ear Gaea trying to take over the world. Nico decided to invade his own, and Will's personal space, to move closer to Will and give him a hug.

Nico De Angelo tilted closer towards Will Solace, stretched his arms out towards Will's upper body, and wrapped it softly around him, soon seeing that Will had wrapped his arms around Nico's body too, and they were hugging, ever so good, and both soaked to the skin.
