What most people knew was that Apollo was the Sun God,God of Archery,Prophecies,Music(excluding Haikus,he's not yet quit with his obsession over Japan) and was totally hot-in both ways. He rode the sun car/chariot and flirted with women and was rival to his daddy Zeus for having the most affairs with women-resulting in one of the most crowded cabins in Camp Half Blood.
What most people did not know was that Italian was the language of music,and him being the God of Music,was fluent in Italian. And naturally,Italian was in the ichor of his children as well. It just took a certain amount of time for the button in their head to click and start Italian-ing. Most of them started their Italian once they got claimed or a few years before that.
But this story revolves around how Italian and French are so closely related;the language of Love and Music;a tale narrating a beautiful love blossoming between a certain son of Apollo and a son of Hades.
So loosen up,get your popcorn boxes,a few chocolates to ham up the love in the air(Jessica:Anyone got Air refreshner? Me:Shut up,Jessica) and probably in your brain as well,make sure you're seated properly so you can read comfortably,blah,blah,blah,blah...
Will Solace gasped. His sister had just said something in Italian.
"K-Kayla!"
"What?"
"Posso capire italiano!"Will stated gleefully,"I can understand Italian!"
A small grin spread across Kayla's face. Other Apollo Cabin members looked at him happily.
"I told you it would start one time or the other."
Will jumped up and got hugs from his siblings and a few "finally's" "congrats" "Good goin' bro's".
Will was a late bloomer. The only late bloomer. Almost all his siblings had caught up with their Italian as soon as they got claimed or a few weeks before or after that. He had waited for nearly 5 years,given up on himself. But every time he did so,his siblings consoled him and made him feel better,and tried to make up the loss to him by congratulating the little things he did here and there. They made him feel treasured and loved.
Now he had finally hit his Apollo spurt.
Austin playfully punched his arm,"What,now you're gonna hit a bull's eye or something?Can I trust you with a bow and pray you won't kill someone?"
Everyone laughed in the Apollo Cabin at Austin's words. Will's ears went pink.
"Hey,I'm not that bad!"
"Says the guy who couldn't even hit the target."Everyone went into peals of laughter,and Will snorted.
"We'll see tomorrow,tough guy."
"Bring it on,bro."
Everyone shuffled to get ready for bed,and Will smiled at the orderly routine,how well his Cabin co-operated with him,how nice it felt to be a councillor. He glanced outside the window. Green meadows glowed dimly against the dark night sky,which was sprinkled with shimmering magical stars,twinkling with such energy,so warm and comforting,a comfort he could only seek by looking at his aunt and what she owned.
He gazed down at the Earth again. Trees were propped up recently after the war,the Demeter Cabin overseeing it all,the perfect geographically location for each tree,plant and bush. Though recently planted,they looked so happy and green,smelling of the wet and warm Earth,the bark so naturally brown,cracked and patterned,each in its own beautiful manner.
Every crack was much pain,darkness-secrets they held. So brown,that when they were in the shadows he couldn't tell their colour. They teased him every time he looked at them,teasing him with those eyes of his,holding secrets which he yearns but never will know. Every scar,every crack,every tear that he had and was treated by him...he knew them by heart,even the ones that had faded along with the memory. He was so broken. A fallen angel. Oh,the mysteries he yearned to solve,they all lay behind those brown eyes...
"Will!"
Will jumped but composed himself before turning back.
"You coming to sleep or are you gonna keep thinking out loud all night?" Kayla unsuccessfully covered her growing smile. Will turned red for the second time that day.
"I-"
"It's obvious,Will. Come on,don't be such a drag!"
"You don't even know whom I'm talking about!"
"Nico Di Angelo!" Chorused the entire Cabin,and then rolled their eyes at the same time as if they were mechanised to do so,and to mean,"Duh."
Will's face went redder as he tried to form words in his head to deny the accusation.
"We have the answer on your face,Will." Kayla said,patting on his shoulder,"Ho visto il modo di guardare a lui."(I have seen the way you look at him)
At morning,everyone in the Apollo Cabin greeted him as usual,as if no confession had happened last night. As if they hadn't heard his stupid romantic poetry...
'Will,you baka! What were you thinking,zoning out like that? What if you had blurted out something much worse,like,about his lips or something WAY down the gutter? Like,his lips being so soft and smooth and thin and full at the same time-'
"Gaia to Will. Gaia to Will Solace!" Austin snapped his fingers in front of Will's face."Dreaming about Nico,eh bro?"
Will held up his hands in a 'I-surrender' manner.
"Like,him sitting on your-"
"AUSTIN,NO!"Will's face and thoughts had gone from totally relaxed and happy to a blushing mess and don't-make-me-think-stuff-like-that in a matter of minutes.
Austin laughed,his cornrows swinging as he did,his quiver struggling to keep the arrows in as he doubled around the floor in laughter. Will kicked his sibling with enough force not to hurt him.
"Shut up,idiot."
And that was how he started to make up scenarios in his head,moments that would never happen with the son of Hades.
The word "boring" had a new synonym. Infirmary.
Will and his healing-siblings had cleaned the supply closet about ten times that day,hunted for an scabs or scratches on each other to heal-yup,they were that desperate for something to do. Soon they had collapsed on the beds,snuggled into a comfortable position and talked in Italian to test Will's fluency(mostly about the previous night,much to Will's dismay),waiting for someone to walk in through the doors.
They all giggled like a bunch of teenage school girls(Jessica:Like us? Me:SHUT UP) when Will blushed bright red and admitted that he harboured feelings for the son of Hades.
However,the giggles stopped when the door to the infirmary swung open,and the children of the Big Three,the Heroes themselves,walked in. Kayla let loose a last giggle,and then stifled quiet to not make anything more obvious when Nico met Will's gaze.
"I don't need to come in here,Grace! I'm fine!" Nico huffed at Jason,who crossed his arms and looked at Nico disapprovingly.
"Atleast get it bandaged!" Percy exclaimed,flailing his arms in a dramatic manner before adding,"You could DIE!"
Nico rolled his eyes,"And that's supposed to bother me?"
"I suppose it should." Jason said sternly,before turning to Will,"Will,be honoured to be the Ghost King's doctor."
"Io sono il suo medico!"(I am HIS doctor,alright!)Will murmured,and his siblings giggled silently,which Jason and Percy did not hear and Nico very evidently was trying hard not to pay attention to.
Nico was as grumpy as Will during Winter. He snapped at everyone who was trying to get him patched up,except Will. Will might be lanky cat stretched in sunshine,but when time comes he would not refrain from unsheathing his claws. He was almost as stubborn as Nico himself,both arguing back and forth as Will got the work done in about an hour's time. His siblings had attempted the same job for nearly the whole day which they had failed at.
When Will successfully made Nico eat a plate full of salad,he grinned,and Nico went into grumpy cat mode pulled his legs up to his chest,rested a pillow on where his knees bent and kept his chin there,wrapped in blankets like an onion bulb. His hair was one big,hot mess.
"Gli dèi,egli è così carino."(Gods,he's so cute)Will said out loud,grinning at his siblings,not quite realizing that Nico was a born and bred Italian. Nico's ears caught the quick compliment and he wanted to could take advantage here,and listen to what the Apollo Camper thinks about him.
"What was that,Solace?" Nico asked,looking innocent.
"Nothing,I just said that you look very pale."Will feigned an air of formality,as if he had not been gaping over Nico over the past few hours,and as if he were a grand doctor from London.
"Oh,"Nico said back.You baka,why can't you just tell me something that I actually want to hear?
"Anyway,you need to sleep now. Doctor's-"
"-Orders. Yes ,I get it."
No sooner than Will had said these words Nico had nestled back into his pillows,his eyes snapping shut.
Nico didn't know when he woke up,but he assumed it was the next just lay there due to the amount of tiredness weighing on him like a sack,and probably the laziness too. Going back to sleep sounded like a much better idea...He slowly closed his eyelids again,only to hear the sound of an Ottoman being pulled closer to his bed. He dared not to open his eyes. Was it who he hoped it would be? Would it be Will?
"Tali lunghi occhi ciglia sprecato per un ragazzo,non credi?"(Such long eye lashes wasted on a boy,don't you think?) He heard the voice say. It sounded feminine. Maybe he was just getting his hopes would Will be here?It wasn't as if Will could be gay either...That guy was too handsome for his own good.
"But it's a part of Nico...And I..."A pause,as if to correct the destination of his sentence, "Every bit of Nico is beautiful,Kayla,and if anything is in the contradictory I would have reasons to prove it wrong."
Nico's heart stopped. That was Will's.
He heard the female sigh,"If only he knew..."
A long silence.
"H-He might not return the same,you know?"
"That's secondary. You need to be open with your feelings,Will."The answer was immediate and straightforward.
THERE was the proof that the love of his life was speaking. Nico wanted to sit up and admit it all. He wanted his sister to go out for one of her archery classes,and then grab Will by his T-Shirt and kiss him till they had enough. Gods,how much Nico wanted to ravish those lips,to tangle his hands in that hair,to feel the tan and warm skin under his fingertips.
"Io lo amo, Kayla. Ma ammettendo perderà tutto ciò che condivido con lui."(I love him, Kayla. But admitting it will lose all that I share with him.)Nico had to fight every inch of himself to sit up straight and mirror those three words back to Will.
"Forse basta cadere in amore per oggi. La prima colazione?"(Maybe that's enough falling in love for today. Breakfast?)He heard Kayla giggle after a long silence.
And the Ottoman was slid backwards,away from the bed,and the sound of the infirmary door closing left Nico dejected.
