Hi there! this is my first Fanfic, so I'm sorry its terrible! I've been wanting to write one for a while now, and finally have gotten the motivation to. This is BoyXBoy, or yaoi or whatever your heart wants to call it and if you don't like that the door is on the corner of your screen. Do you see it? its red. yeah just give it a little tap. Oh! and there you go! see ya never! Anyways, this is going to be multichaptered. i honestly dont have anything really planned for this. i mean i have an idea for the plot, but its really vague and oh whale! its solangelo so who cares! so yeah, thats it really...just gonna leave now...

ENJOY!

A couple months had passed since the war and things were finally starting to calm down. Cabins that had been ruined during the battle were fixed, the uniting of both camps had been issued, and things had finally been going back to normal.

At least for everyone else, that is.

Certainly not for Nico di Angelo of course.

Nico wasn't used to life at camp. Sure he had spent a little while living there when he was young, but not quite long enough to completely feel at 'home.'

Whatever that meant, he wouldn't know.

He wouldn't know what it felt like to be accepted by everyone other than the family he longer had. He wouldn't know what it felt like to be welcomed to a place other than his father's realm. He wouldn't know what it felt like to have people who liked him and wanted to spend time with him.

So when all of that started to happen so suddenly, he didn't know how to react.

He wasn't used to having a place to call home or friends. And now that he finally did, well it was a lot to take in. He wouldn't say he didn't like it; he'd be lying if he did. It's just hard for him to get used to being liked and having people call him their 'friend.'

Speaking of friends, Nico had made quite a lot of them. At least, a lot compared to what he used to have, which was none, unless you counted the ghosts he would acquaint with. He got a lot closer to Reyna, who he now considered his best friend—a sister even. But with her having to be at Camp Jupiter, they weren't able to be around each other as much. But of course they still IM each other to catch up and see how things are doing. He had gotten closer to The Seven, and would often hang around them. Jason would annoy him constantly, insisting he needed 'protecting from his big bro (which was supposedly him)', but he secretly appreciated having him act like his 'bro', or whatever. He would never say that aloud to Jason, or anyone at that matter, though.

Nico had acquainted with a couple of other people, also. Lou Ellen being one of them and Cecil being another. The both of them had found out he had been from the 1930s and instantly took on the responsibility of introducing pop culture to him. Cecil would often steal things from today's culture for him: foods, books, clothes, and even electronics (which he had made sure to be 'monster signal free' thanks to the Hephaestus cabin). And Lou Ellen would teach him a lot of today's customs, practices, and ways. Word had spread about Nico's confession to Percy and she had explained that homosexuality was now accepted and a pretty normal thing in society. To say the least, he was surprised. Being from a time where homosexuals were killed because of their 'abnormality,' it was hard to not be astonished.

And lastly, Nico had befriended Will Solace. The annoying, pesky, blue eyed son of Apollo that wouldn't leave him alone. After being forced to stay in the infirmary under his command—which Nico would claim was hell, but really not all that bad—the blonde had insisted he visit for a checkup at least once a week. After a while of Nico refusing and Will persisting, Nico reluctantly complied. How he hated him for being as suborn as he was. Not only that, but he would make sure he was 'eating healthy and living healthy' all the time. Nico hadn't had McDonald's in over 2 weeks because of Will being on his case about it 'not being healthy.' Last time he checked, fries were made out of potatoes and potatoes were vegetables, thank you very much. But Will's intensions were good and Nico recognized that. Of course, he wouldn't go on and act all nice because of it, but once in a while he would say thank you and could tell Will understood it meant for everything.

So there he was, lying on the dark floorboards of the Hades Cabin, lost in his thoughts, when the door had opened, letting the cold winter air come in, as well as a voice he recognized belonged to the one and only Will Solace.

"I seriously cannot handle how cold it's been! Why does winter even exist? Khione just needs to take a break for once and—oh! Ur on the floor," he had said before closing the door.

Nico snorted and though: 'speak of the devil and he shall appear.'

After not receiving a response, Will had moved the short distance to Nico before joining him in laying on the floor. He looked over to Nico slightly.

"So, can I ask why exactly you're lying on the, might I say, very uncomfortable floor? I doubt that staring at the celling is that interesting to be the reason, seeing that it's all black," he asked and Nico shrugged.

"I've decided that my mattress is too soft and I don't like it, I have to get a new one somehow," he explained and Will chuckled.

"Oh! The mattress is just too soft for the princess and he won't have it any other way! What a terrible misfortune!" Will teased and Nico elbowed him.

"Shut up! It is too soft and it's most likely really bad for my back, you should know all about that," he said, defending himself and Will chuckled once again, to Nico's annoyance.

"I'm just teasing you, and you're right. Firmer mattresses are better for your back health, in fact—"

"Alright, I didn't ask for a medical lesson, gods," Nico interrupted Will before could rant for an hour about different types of mattresses concerning your health.

Will's face fell a bit, "Sorry."

An uncomfortable silence fell upon them and Nico cleared his throat in order to break it, "So, not trying to be rude or anything, but is there a certain purpose in you coming here?"

"I decided to come check up on you. I didn't see you at breakfast and got worried," Will admitted and Nico felt his heart flutter—wait what?

Nico's heart did not flutter. No, Nico's heart does not flutter when Will Solace, of all people, says he was worried about him; it certainly does not. And it certainly didn't right then.

"Oh, I skipped out on breakfast. I know it's not good for me…blah blah blah, 'three meals a day'…"

"Why?" Will asked. And Nico shrugged once again.

"I don't know, I've just had a lot of stuff on my mind and needed some time to think" Nico explained, and it was true. He had spent the whole morning thinking about the past, the present, and how much has changed since then.

"Like, what?" Will asked. Nico swore he was the nosiest person he knew.

"Memories, people, things that have changed, that kind of stuff," he said and a silence followed after. After a little while, though, Will responded.

"I know Bianca's anniversary is coming up," he said quietly and Nico gulped hard. In the last couple of months, Nico had opened up and told Will about a lot of things, including about Bianca. Will knew what it was like losing a sibling he was close to, so he understood what he felt like.

"Yeah" Nico managed to say.

Will completely turned his body so that he was facing Nico. "What do you plan on doing that day?" he asked, concerned for his friend.

Nico turned and met Will's eyes briefly before looking back at the celling. "I don't know, probably stay in here all day, hopefully on a new mattress that isn't too soft." He said and Will smiled slightly.

"Would you maybe be interested in doing something other than sulking in here with me on that day?" he asked and Nico's eyebrows scrunched up in confusion, which Will found absolutely adorable.

"Like what?" Nico asked and Will shrugged.

"I don't know, anything you want, really."

"What if I want to eat at McDonald's?" Nico asked, mischievous smile on his face.

Will rolled his eyes, "then I'll take you to eat that unhealthy crap. As long as it makes you happy".

Nico once again met Will's eyes with his own, but this time he got lost in them. No one could blame him though, it was hard not getting absorbed into those bright blue orbs, which he knew from experience would turn a darker blue to match the color of the sky as the day went by. Nico blushed slightly and looked down at his feet once he noticed Will had been staring into his own eyes as well.

"Yeah, sure, I guess that would be fine," he said in response, shyly. Will flashed his perfect, bright smile that Nico swore could blind someone.

"Great!" Will exclaimed before bouncing up off the floor. "Now get your lazy butt up! You need to eat! You were right about needing three meals a day. You're going to have to eat double the amount now to make up for skipping breakfast; also more fruits and vegetables if you plan on eating Mcdisgusting anytime soon," Will went on.

Nico smiled before getting up off the floor, "Alright, Mom, let's go get some lunch, or in my case, some brunch.
