later, when he was driving me home, we held hands, our clasped fingers resting on his leg while he drove. I wanted to kiss him so bad that my brain had nearly shut down.
He parked a little bit away from the cabins, in the parking lot next to the big house. he turned the headlights on and turned towards me.
"Nico, I really like you. I want to be your boyfriend."
"shut up and kiss me, you fool." i muttered. and then we were kissing.
this was my first kiss, and it was just as i imagined it. there were literally fireworks behind my eyes, and i was kissing William Solace.
It seemed like forever, but it can't have been more than a few minutes.
We only pulled apart because we heard banging and yelling. it was Percy, Nico, Jason, and Leo banging on the window and hooting.
My face turned bright red and i nearly fell over getting out of the car.
"SO HELP ME PERCY JACKSON IF YOU TURN THIS INTO SOMETHING UGLY SO HELP ME I WILL KILL YOU WITH SKELETONS!"
they ran, giggling. oy. I turned to Will, and he was doubled over with laughter.
"You make a fierce warrior, di Angelo. But you aren't fit to summon anything until a long, long time from now."
and then we were kissing again. him on his tiptoes to reach my mouth. We could hear "OOOOOOOOH!" coming from the boys not far off. this was gonna be all over camp in a short time. I pushed Will down onto the hood of the car, and kissed him harder.
He pushed me away, laughing and panting for breath. "di Angelo, if it's gonna go that far, let's move into a cabin, huh?"
I blushed. "Oh my gods Will. I didn't mean... i mean... oh gods."
He laughed. "Look, I didn't mean that, bae. It's just... i really do like you a lot."
"I like you too."
every part of my body needed to kiss him more. I needed to feel his mouth on mine, I wanted to touch his soft blonde hair. I don't know how people get through days without seeing each other.
"Let's never leave each other's presence. let's be one of those clingy couples who says 'we' instead of 'i' and never stops touching.
he nodded, and took my hand to walk me home.
It didn't go any farther than that, just me and my new boyfriend walking hand in hand home.
