This is going to be in chapters, and like usual I don't have a set time frame for updates because despite not having anything going on in my life I'm always busy go figure.
Whispered Voices
(Sequel to Voices)
Chapter 1: A what?!
Sometime has passed since the whole incident with the voices haunting Nico in his dreams. Since that time Nico and Will have grown closer, even after Nico had left the infirmary Will would insist on checking up on him and making sure that he was getting enough sleep and that nothing had been troubling him since then. Nico had assured Will that he was sleeping just fine these days.
Every morning Will would meet Nico in front of cabin 13 and they would walk to the dinning pavilion together, the seating rules had become less strict these days so the two of them often sat together at the Hades table and were often joined by Jason, Piper, Percy, and Annabeth. Today being no different except Jason joined up with Nico and Will on the way to breakfast, and he ended up catching part of their usual morning conversation.
"So you're sure that you're getting enough sleep?" Will asked just as Jason fell into step beside the two.
"Yes Will, I'm getting enough sleep. Nothing to report, don't worry." Nico walked with his hands in his pockets just looking straight ahead as they continued walking to breakfast.
"Alright, if you're sure. I just worry is all." Will was watching Nico for any signs that the nightmare voices were back.
"Like I said Solace I'm fine, don't worry about it." Nico gave Will a sidelong glance.
"Of course I worry, I- I'm your doctor."
Jason couldn't help noticing the slight blush that creeped onto the faces of both boys as they looked away from each other. Okay then…. He thought to himself wonder what that was all about. Instead he asked "So, what are you guys talking about?"
They both looked at him.
"Nothing really, Doctor Will here is just bugging me about my health like always." Nico said nonchalantly as Will feigned hurt.
"Nico as your doctor your health is very important to me."
Nico rolled his eyes at the other boy's dramatics, "Whatever Solace."
Will just laughed as they reached the table and where soon joined by their friends after everyone got their breakfast and made their offerings before sitting back down together.
Nico sat between Will and Jason; Piper was next to Jason with Annabeth next to her and finally Percy.
Piper and Annabeth were discussing plans to go into the city for the day and look around, maybe do some shopping.
Percy was sitting there eating pancakes that were not surprisingly drenched in syrup.
Jason looked over at Nico and Will. "How would you guys like to come with us into the city for the day? I'm sure Chiron would be okay with it."
"Hey great idea! It could be a group date!" Piper chimed in.
Nico who had been drinking orange juice at the time started choking and Will started smacking his back to help him and blushed bright red. When Nico was able to breathe again he managed to sputter out "A what?!" he could feel his whole face turning red.
Piper blinked at them "You mean you two aren't together yet?"
Now the others were staring at them, patently waiting for their answer.
Nico and Will looked at each other.
"So Deathboy, want to go out on a date with me?" Will gave a somewhat strained smile but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes that made Nico's heat skip a beat.
"I guess that would be okay." He said as he looked back at his plate, his whole face burning up. Meanwhile Will had the biggest smile on his face.
The others just cheered. They had noticed the two getting closer and had hoped that they could get together at some point if they hadn't yet.
"Well now that that's taken care of I'll go ask Chiron if we can borrow the van for the day!"
Jason shot to his feet and nearly flew to where the centaur was at the main table, and considering that Jason could actually fly it was obvious just how excited he was over this.
The others started talking together about where they should go and what activities they could fit into their schedule so that they could make it back in time for the camp fire that night.
Nico was focusing on getting rid of his deep blush when he felt Will slip his hand into his, Nico looked up to see Will smiling at him and he returned it with a small smile of his own.
Sorry that this took longer than expected to upload, things kept happening like having to babysit my cousins for a few days and my mom going to the hospital but she's home now.
I hope you like this story.
