Nico was sitting with Will on the shore of the lake, holding hands and enjoying the quiet time together. It had been awhile since they had a date, one that hadn't been interrupted. Their dates were never anything big or extravagant, usually something small like watching a movie together or making a craft. As for this date they decided to have a picnic on the shore, which had gone so much better than both had assumed.

"It seems a little unreal that nothing has happened for about two hours," Will brought up which caused Nico to chuckle a little and give a shrug.

"You do have a point. Usually a camper would interrupt and drag you away to go heal someone," Nico said and squeezed Will's hand a little tighter. Nico had always been quite possessive of Will, and even a little jealous. Will Solace was the best thing to ever happen to Nico, of course he was going to want to spend every moment with him.

"Or a camper would need you for assistance to break up a fight," Will joked with a smile. Nico nearly felt his heart melt at that, he could never grow tired of Will's smile. It was so pure and genuine, and it could make anyone who was sad feel a little better.

"When we're needed we have to go, we're basically the runners of this camp," Nico said and Will shushed him and quickly put a finger against Nico's lips.

"If Mr. D hears you then he's going to strike you again with a drunk curse!" Will said and Nico just swatted his hand away from his lips.

"I'm not scared of Mr. D, and I'm telling the truth. Without us this camp wouldn't be able to run the way it does. Mr. D just sits on his butt all day drinking... Whatever it is he drinks," Nico said and Will just let out a sigh at that.

"Sometimes I think your attitude has changed, and then you go off saying things like this," Will said and just gave Nico a kiss on the cheek, making Nico's face flush red. How could he still get embarrassed from a kiss on the cheek when they've been dating for nearly four years, and have done a lot more embarrassing things than a simple kiss.

"W-Well someone has to say the truth!" Nico blurted out and Will just chuckled lightly and gave Nico another peck on the cheek.

"I know Death boy," Will teased which made Nico scowl.

"I told you not to call me that," Nico said upset and Will just gave Nico another kiss.

"Yeah, but I know you secretly like it," Will said with a slight smirk. Oh how Will knew how to push all of Nico's buttons.

"Sometimes I think you're mature but then you go off and say things like this," Nico said, using Will's own words against him which just made the Son of Apollo smirk a little more.

"And is it such a bad thing?" He asked, getting closer to Nico and giving him a kiss on the lips this time. "I still think you like it when I tease you and push your buttons," Will said and Nico just rolled his eyes.

"Come here," Nico said and grabbed Will by his shirt collar, pulling him close and kissing him. Despite them wanting to continue on, their kiss was interrupted by a demigod running up to them.

The demigod was out of breath and panting, sweat running down their face and they were bent over as they tried to catch their breath. The demigod was Kara, a Japanese-American demigod who was only 13. Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, revealing her thin face and features. Her eyes were brown and slightly bigger than native-born Asians and her skin had a slight tan tint to it from being out in the sun, she was short for her age but Nico kept telling her she would hit a growth spurt soon.

"Kara, what are you doing here?" Nico asked as him and Will scrambled to stand. Trying to get out of their half-laying down half-sitting position.

"T-There's trouble at the infirmary. T-The demigods on border duty found h-him after he rolled down t-the hill and hit another demigod, h-he's so injured t-they don't know if he'll live-" Kara said all at once which made Nico and Will glance at each other for a moment.

"Take us to him, immediately," Will said and Kara just nodded, Nico grabbed Will's hand and the two took off with Kara trailing behind since she was exhausted from running already.

Thankfully they were not that far away from the infirmary and made it there rather quickly, Will burst in and the demigod sitting by the door jumped up in surprise. But knew why they were there and quickly led Will to where the demigod Kara talked about was. Kara and Nico stood by the entrance to give Will some space.

"Is this him?" Will asked the demigod standing next to him who simply nodded. Will just looked down at the demigod laying in the bed, his heart growing heavy.

The demigod had major injuries like Kara had mentioned, his torso was badly cut up and bruised, his right arm had thankfully been put into a brace by another demigod and his legs were in braces as well. He had a bandage around his head which was already bloody.

"Willow! Ben! Get the emergency kit! We're going to need a lot of help if we want this demigod to live," Will shouted and two demigods in the infirmary started running around grabbing all the necessary items. Willow grabbed a large white box while Ben grabbed a white coat, gloves and a mask.

"Will? Is everything going to be okay?" Nico asked him, approaching him while the two demigods were scrambling to get everything ready.

"I pray to the gods it will be, I don't know how much I can do for this demigod but I will try my best," Will said before turning to Nico and giving him a light kiss on the forehead.

"This might take all night, you should go back to your cabin. I'll come to you when I'm finished," Will said. Nico wanted to protest, he wanted to be there with Will through it all. But he knew that Will wouldn't take no for an answer, and so Nico just nodded and slowly walked out. Hearing the two demigods finishing their preparations and starting to work on the injured boy.

It's been such a long time since I've written a fanfiction! So if I've made a mistake please be kind :) This story is an SYOC as you can tell by the title! :D The forum will be on my profile, and I would kindly ask you to add a lot of detail to your character! The more detail the more likely your character will be picked.

But I ask, please DO NOT make your character complicated. Try to keep their personality all within the same bubble and don't bounce around. I've been doing SYOC's for a long time and it's common to jump everywhere with your character. Please try to keep everything within the same sphere.

I'm looking for about 5 characters, so submit away and I will message you to let you know if you've been picked! Next chapter will be put up when I have about 2 characters chosen :)

Thank you very much!
