Thank you theonewhoisBEST for your review.

Note: I just write, okay? I just get ahead of myself, ya know?

Btw... Will's last name Solace means peacefulness. But the first part of it Sol means solar for sun.

Word of the chapter: Imbroglio: confused and/or embarrassed scenario

Melancholy Freak :p


"What are you guys doing?!" a voice broke the silence. Will and Nico looked at the owner of the voice. They immediately let go of each other.

Shit Nico cursed under his mouth. It was Jason. He had seen everything.

"Grace, it isn't what it looks like." Nico told Jason.

"Were you guys just crying?" Jason asked. Nico and Will looked at each other. They shrugged.

"I'm so happy for you Nico!" Jason told him, "You finally have someone who likes you back! You need all the love in the world! I was right about you liking him!"

"I haven't got my revenge from that incident!" Nico told Jason. Will turned red. Soon, Nico and Jason disappeared in the forest trail.

Oh gods... Will couldn't forget the feeling when he hugged Nico. He felt warm although he was sad. Will was just happy that he assisted Nico with his sorrows. Nico loved him after all. He decided to go back.

On his way back to the fields of the camp, he saw Nico standing over Jason.

"Holy shit Nico!" Jason cowered in fear, "I'm sorry! Forgive me!"

Nico gave him a smirk.

"Just... clarify with me next time instead of blurting dumb stuff out of your mouth." Nico told Jason. Nico smiled at Will. Will couldn't help but smile back. It made Nico blush. Seeing that made Will blush. Soon, they were blushing so hard that they couldn't help but look at each other, only each other. They observed each other's handsome features until Jason interrupted them.

"You guys are definitely a pair!" Jason confirmed.

"Shut up Jason!" Nico and Will said at the same time. Jason felt like he had been yelled at as if Piper was screaming at him with charmspeak.

"Hey Nico, we should get some ice cream." Will told Nico, "To get rid of the bitter taste in us."

Nico nodded and followed Will.

"Jeez..." Jason muttered, "He sure is something when he gets mad. I better tell Piper this."

Jason watched in awe as the Nico and Will who used to argue all the time walk together laughing and talking. They didn't hold hands, but after they understood each other, it seemed that they had become best of friends.


"No!" Will answered.

"Why not?" Nico asked.

"Because... my I don't have a good singing voice... compared to my siblings... like Kayla. She has such a good voice." Will told Nico.

"I still want to hear it." Nico told Will. Will rolled his eyes.

"Fine." Will began, "You are the angel... in me. You make me happy, you make me sad, sometimes I want to do that. Back at you. Let's laugh and play. Let's jump and talk. Whatever we do, just have fuuun!"

Nico absolutely loved Will's singing voice.

"You lied about your terrible voice." Nico told Will.

"Maybe it's because I got it from my mom." Will told Nico, "My mom Naomi, she's a singer."

"No wonder!" Nico smiled and nudged Will on the arm for his own amusement, "When are we there?"

"Soon Death Boy." Will answered while chuckling.

"Don't call me that!" Nico answered.

"Sorry Nico, it just fits you so well!" Will told him.

"Shut up Sunshine." Nico replied. Will turned pink at that comment. He reached his hand up to Nico's hair.

"Has anyone told you that you have beautiful hair?" Will asked as he ruffled Nico's hair and ran it through the thick lush curls.

"Has anyone told you that you're annoying?" Nico asked. Will rolled his eyes.

"Don't be like that Nico." Will answered, "You are just gorgeous like an angel and you need to love yourself, because I do."

"Really?" Nico asked like a child, "Well since you told me that, has anyone told you that you are as beautiful as the sun?"

"Stop... you have nice chocolate brown eyes." Will complimented. He didn't want this to stop.

"Well... you have eyes colored from the sky." Nico replied, "As beautiful as the blue sky."

Will lightly touched Nico on the face with his knuckles. Then, he put his arm around Nico's shoulders. Will was a bit taller than Nico by around six inches... which was significant when they were standing beside each other. As if... Will had a little brother... as if Nico was his little brother.

"You know..." Will told Nico in a rather brotherly tone, "I thought you might have been a hopeless case... but look at you now. You are just so intriguing when you open yourself up. Who ever knew that you are such a unique person? Who knew..."

"Shut up Solace," Nico told Will, "I don't just come out to others randomly. You'll make me regret my decision of finding you at the lake."

What did Nico just say? He thought he blew it, but Will wasn't offended.

"I must be that special then to you." Will told Nico, "You are such a dork."

Nico smirked.

"Not just a dork." Nico told Will, "I'm your dork. No one else's."

This was the first time Will and Nico had ever felt so happy. They couldn't stop smiling at each other and talking to each other.

"We should hang out with each other more." Will told Nico, "I don't want this to end. Maybe I should send my father an iris message to keep the sun there."

"Didn't he disappear after the war with Gaea?" Nico asked.

"Right." Will answered, "No wonder why the Oracle of Delphi isn't working anymore."

"Look, we are out of the forest." Nico pointed out. They were indeed. They swung by the Apollo cabin by accident and outside of the door sat Kayla and Austin. They saw how happy those two were.

"So... are we allowed to assume that you two made up?" Kayla asked Will.

"In a way." Will replied, "We are best friends now, right Nico?"

"Mhm." Nico answered.

"How disappointing." Kayla told the two, "I thought you guys might have got together... maybe you just don't want to rush it."

"There isn't a rush." Will told Kayla, "No rush at all. Plus, we don't know each other that well."

"Yes, and have you ever seen a relationship that forms right away?" Nico asked Kayla.

"Of course not!" Kayla answered. Austin seemed completely out of place because he wasn't too experienced in this matter.

A group of Aphrodite children walked past Nico and Will. They whispered something to each other and erupted with laughter. They were clearly talking about Nico and Will. Nico was going to kill them for that, but Will stopped him.

"Don't worry about them, it's in their nature to be that way." Will told Nico, "Just like how it is in our nature to like each other."

"You are annoying sometimes, you know that, right?" Nico told Will.

"And you are a dork." Will told Nico.

"Only your dork." Nico told Will back, "You said we were going to get ice cream?"

"Of course." Will told Nico then turned to Kayla, "We're getting ice cream. Be back soon."

"You better." Kayla told Will then looked at Austin, "You don't understand them, do you? Or some of our siblings."

"Of course not." Austin answered, "I don't know why."

"I guess we are just that unique!" Kayla told Austin, "We should head to the infirmary. They need us."


"You didn't..." Nico told Will.

"Yup." Will told Nico.

"Solace! When that order comes, that ice cream cone is all mine!" Nico told Will.

"As long as you share it with me." Will told Nico.

Will, being the annoying sunshine ordered one single vanilla ice cream cone so he could eat it with Nico... on the same ice cream... and sharing their spit. Which was why Nico is complaining. They got their ice cream cone and walked to the shades.

Nico licked it like a bulldog. Will thought it was absolutely cute. When Will went forward to lick it, he got a reaction from Nico.

"Will... no... you wouldn't lick my ice cream with my spit." Nico told Will sounding surprised.

"Of course I would." Will told Nico and licked it seductively while looking at Nico in the eyes the whole time. Nico loved that look from Will so much. At this time, both of their hands were curled around the ice cream cone. Their hands were touching each other's.

"Isn't sharing this ice cream this like kissing?" Nico asked sort of weirded out.

"If you put it that way." Will answered. Suddenly, two figures approached them.

"What are you doing here Lou and Cecil?" Will asked. His other friends had come to him.

"We just came back from a little mission, that's all." Lou Ellen answered, "I understood why Chiron needed me since I have my mother's abilities of mist manipulation."

"What was the mission?" Will asked.

"We are supposed to steal some artifacts from this museum that belongs to this camp." Cecil explained, "Chiron chose me and my Stoll brothers to steal the artifacts. Lou used her mist manipulation so people couldn't see the stealing."

"Oh nice." Will answered. His right hand was still around the ice cream cone he and Nico were sharing and they were casually licking from it as if there wasn't anything weird about it. Nico was listening politely and pretending that he wasn't there.

"Um Will, I have a question." Lou Ellen asked while her face wore a funny expression.

"What is it?" Will asked.

"What's the name of your boyfriend?" Lou Ellen asked. Will spit out his ice cream.

"What?" Will asked.

"I asked, what the name of your boyfriend is!" Lou Ellen asked a little louder.

"Boyfriend?" Will asked sounding confused. Nico obviously knew what she was asking.

"You are an idiot." Nico told Will, "My name is Nico, and we are not in a relationship. We are best friends who just likes to share their ice cream and it is none of your business if we share it at a personal level."

"Oh, I see." Lou Ellen answered, "As dumb as ever Will. See ya tonight for dinner!"

"Bye Will." Cecil told Will. Will was staring at them like an idiot.

"Hello Will?" Nico asked, "Sunshine? You there?"

Will still had a frozen expression on his face. Nico did something overkill. He pushed the ice cream cone Will was holding into his face while sticking his tongue out.

"AHH!" Will shouted while wiping off the ice cream on his face, "What was that for Nico?"

"You weren't responding to me calling you." Nico told Will.

"Sorry." Will answered, "I just have a lot on my mind about what my friend Lou said."

"Don't worry about it Will." Nico told him, "It isn't like the world would be over."

"Oh gods, the world is over!" Will shouted. Nico pushed Will's ice cream in his face again while sticking his tongue out in amusement.
