Chapter 1

Nico POV

"Hey Nico! Wait up!"

Nico stopped and turned around to see who had called his name while he was on his way to his cabin. 'Seriously? I just got out of the infirmary! What does he want now!' Even though Nico's thoughts were mean, a bright blush appeared on his face and his heart was beating really fast. 'Stop it heart!' He looked away to try to hide his now heated face and set his stare on the ground.

Finally the the person who called him caught up to him. It was the one and only Will Solace.

He put his hands to his knees to try to catch his breath before he began to speak. "Hey. I know you just got out the infirmary and all, also there was that whole war thing. But I forgot to ask you something." Nico, who calmed down a little, had to tilt his head up to be able to look at his face. "What about?" He hoped this was what he wanted to here, but he doubted it a lot. "So I heard you were in the lotus hotel for a really long time..."

Nico looked away from Will and back to the ground. This was not what he was hoping for.

"Yeah. About 70 years." "Have you had time to go see how much the world had change?" What? Of course he hadn't! Nico sighed. "No. Once I left the hotel I was put in a boarding school. After that here. Then there was the whole war thing. Which was fine after wards but then Percy-" he winced. Even if he got over his crush on the sea prince, it still hurt him a little to think about him. Unfortunately Will noticed "Nico? You okay?" Hopefully he thought it was just his previous injures acting up again. "Yeah. Just fine." He said a bit to quickly. "Anyway Percy-" ouch "went missing and I had to help look for him. Then I got captured. Then another war... You know the details. Now I'm here. Wishing I could go take a shower and a nap!"

Will POV

'Awwwwwww...! Nico is so cute when he pouts! Stop it Will! Focus! You are focusing. On Nico, of course, but still you are focusing. STOP IT! You came here to accomplish something now do it!'

"Will? Will, you there?"

"Hmmm? Yeah?"

Nico sighed again. "You were asking me something?"

"Oh... Oh! Yeah!... So because you don't know anything about the modern world and now that we have some free time I was thinking that I could... Maybe.. Show you what you missed?"

He saw Nico snap his neck to look at him.

'Yes! I did it! I asked him!'

Nico POV

'Did Will just ask me... Is this like? A-a-a... A DATE! What do I do?!' He could feel his whole body heating up. 'Uuuummmmmmmhhhhhh... Shdifnnei...' Nico begin to malfunction trying to understate what just happened. This is what he hoped for but he didn't think it would actually happen!

He noticed Will just standing there. Waiting for an answer.

Nico trying to hide his face with his bangs, nodded a yes two or three times. Not sure what to do after that he did what came natural to him... He ran a way...

Nico was almost to his door to the Hades cabin, which was newly decorated, when he heard someone scream "YESSSS!" In the distance. He was curious but his embarrassment got the better of him and he didn't look back. Instead he kept running right until he was safely inside his cabin.

Hazel was still here sharing the room with him but she was probably out with Frank. Nico felt flustered. He was pacing across his floor. 'What do I do! What should I wear?! STOP! You sound like an Aphrodite kid! Calm down! Now, what should you do? First off, you need help. Who should you call? (Ghost buster!) Who do you know who would know about this stuff?... Ummmm... Hazel? No. She's new to this whole dating thing to... Jason? Maybe... He probably went on a lot of dates with Piper... Piper! She's a daughter of Aphrodite! It's in her DNA! Of course!' He hit his fist to his open palm with a determined face on.

"Nico! I have been screaming your name for 4 minutes! Listen to me already!" Hazel getting annoyed picked up a ruby around her foot and throws it at Nico's head.

"Ouch! Hazel? What the Hades? When did you get here and why did you throw that at me!?"

"What is up with you? You have been ignoring me since you walked in here!"

"You were here the whole time?"

"Yes! Now what is wrong?!" Even if Nico ignored her she still cared about how he was doing. Also, if his mood was because of a certain blond, she wanted all the details.

When she would visit Nico during what he called his "three extra days in Tartarus" she would notice the way that Nico blushed when Will came to check up on him and how Will always found time to sit and entertain Nico some how. Hazel also found it amazing how Will could get Nico to agree to do pretty much anything. Like spend three days in a hospital... Even thought the concept was new to her she understood that now in the modern days it was more acceptable to be gay. Plus Hazel thought Nico and Will would be the perfect couple! They would be so cute together!

Nico started to fidget and tried to decide what to tell her. He hadn't gotten around to tell her anything about his sexuality yet and he didn't know how she would take it. But he could use all the help he could get. Even if Hazel was kind of inexperienced in that area.

"Ummmm... Hazel?..." "Yes Nico?" Maybe this was it! Maybe he finally tell her about his crush on Will! "I think I might... Have a... Date... With someone... But I don't really know..."

Hazel was so happy! She started to jump up and down. Diamonds, rubes, and different colored rocks popping up at her feet. She has been waiting for this! When she first suspected that he had a crush on Will she really needed to tell someone. And from the way that Jason talked about Nico she suspected that he knew that Nico was gay too. So she told Jason about it.

Thinking back on it she remembered that Jason was really happy for Nico too. They promised that they would tell each other if there was a development in the relationship that they had started to call 'Solangelo'.

Without a second thought she ran from Hades cabin to go find Jason.

"Hazel!? Where are you going!? Come back here!" Nico started to run after her but Hazel was fast and he had just recovered from everything but he wasn't ready to run after Hazel at her speed. After about ten minutes of running he gave up.

Nico looked around, making sure no one was around to see what he was about to do. 'I know Will said not to but this is an emergency! I don't know who Hazel is going to tell!'

He closed his eyes and concentrated on the shadows, pulling them towards him. 'So far so good...' He began to slip into the shadows to try to reach Hazel before she got to far.

Suddenly he was quickly pulled out of the shadows by his wrists and pushed into the nearest cabin wall.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!"

Nico looked down. Not making eye contact. He recognized the voice but he hated to hear it angry. He spoke so lowly that he could barley hear himself, "Will..."

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU!"

Nico felt ashamed of his actions now that he was being scolded. He spoke as quietly as before. "No underworld-ly stuff..."

Will still managed to hear him though. "THATS RIGHT. AND HOW LONG DID I SAY YOU COULDN'T DO IT FOR!?"

"Two months..."

"WELL NOW IT IS THREE!"

Nico looked up at Will shocked "WHAT?!"

"YOU HEARD ME! DOCTOR'S ORDERS!"

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!"

"LIFES NOT FAIR!"

Nico kept looking up at Will. 'He was never this mad at me before... Gods Will can be scary...'

"But-"

"No buts!" Will was staring a Nico intensely. Nico's eyes fell down again. After a few silent minutes Will's gaze softened.

"I'm sorry Nico... I just don't want you to get hurt..." Nico looked back into Will's blue eyes. They stayed like this for a while in a comfortable silence, just staring into each other's eyes. It was nice.

That was until Nico realized the position they were in. Will had one of Nico's hand pinned down against a random cabin while Nico's other hand was at his side. Will's other hand was was close to Nico's face, pressed on the wall. The most unsettling thing about their position, to Nico, was the fact that he was trapped between Will and a cabin. With his body pressed up on to the cabin.

He started to panic. The blush coming back even redder than before. He squirmed and closed his eyes trying not to notice just how close Will's face was to his. For a moment he considered shadow traveling but that was what got him in this mess anyway.

Nico slid open one of his eyes to look at Will. 'Oh my gods he's not doing anything! Please let me go before I faint!' His silent pleas went unnoticed. Will just kept starting at him as if he didn't notice Nico's obvious discomfort.

Small Will POV

'Nico looks sooooo cute! I just want to eat him! I bet he taste good... DON'T THINK LIKE THAT! YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE MAD AT HIM FOR DISOBEYING YOU!...how could I be mad when he looks like that?... His blush is so red and he is squirming around so adorably! I want to kiss him so badly!'

He started to lean in. He moved his hand that was by Nico's face to cup his check, making Nico look at him. 'Gods he's adorable...'

He was about to place his lips upon Nico's but before he could, he was startled by a loud "WHAT!?"

Will jumped away from Nico. Releasing him from his grip.

Back to Nico POV

'Oh gods oh gods oh gods oh gods! Will almost kissed me!' His face was twice as red as it was before. He would have made a tomato proud to call him it's son.

Nico couldn't focus properly. He put his hands over his face to hide himself. He felt like he would faint, he was so overwhelmed at the moment he almost missed the screams of "HE'S DOING WHAT!" Then a higher pitched voice joined in "I KNOW!"

He had a terrible feeling of who it was.

He looked around taking in his surroundings. He was in he big U in between two cabins. He looked more closely at the cabin he was against. It was Hera. The goddess of marriage 'oh gods... Stop it! Focus Nico!' If this was Hera's than that would mean that the sound came from Zeus' cabin.

'Holy Hades I have to go before he catches me!'

"Nico? What's wrong?"

"No time for questions Will! We have to run!"

A third voice came in. "Too late!"

The next thing he knew, Nico was up in the air captured by a blond superman.

"Jason! Let me go!" He started to kick around.

"No! We have to much to discuss about your date tomorrow! We have to talk now! To Zeus' cabin!"

Off they flew, leaving a confused Will on the ground.

Yeah! First chapter done! How was it?!
