Hey everyone! Sorry for the long-ish wait, I was procrastinating on this chapter due to me becoming obsessed with Legend of Korra, Kagerou Project, and a case of writer's block. I finally finished, though this chapter is shorter.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or its characters. I only own this fic.


"How did it go, bro?"

Will winced as Cecil and Lou Ellen leaned in eagerly.

"Er… it was… nice?"

"What do you mean by 'nice?' Did you guys kiss? Have you asked him out yet?" Lou Ellen asked excitedly.

"Um… no and no, although I would like to," Will replied nervously.

"Then why haven't you asked him out yet?" Lou Ellen threw her arms up dramatically and huffed.

"What am I supposed to say? 'Oh, hi there Nico, I like you a lot and I think we were meant for each other?'" Will asked exasperatedly.

"Actually, that's a pretty good speech," Cecil replied, looking thoughtful.

Will sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Is he even gay?"

"Oh honey, Nico di Angelo is gay as hell. You don't know?" Lou Ellen said.

"He-he is? I didn't know that," Will said stupidly.

"What are you waiting for? Ask him out this weekend again and tell him!" Cecil exclaimed, punching Will on the arm.

Will squirmed. He really, really liked Nico, but if Nico didn't feel the same way, Will didn't want to ruin the friendship between them.

"I'll think about it," Will muttered.


"What are you waiting for? Tell him!"

Will winced, looking at his phone. He had called Piper for advice after Lou Ellen and Cecil had gone home. It was a well-known fact that Piper was the person to go to for relationship advice. She always knew when two people liked each other and whether they were compatible or not.

"What if he doesn't like me? I don't want to ruin this friendship between us," Will said worriedly.

"Psh. I'm telling you, that boy definitely has a crush on you. Have you seen his face when he's talking to you? He checks his phone every three minutes to see if you've texted him when he's out with us!" Piper said.

Will was confused at Piper's last statement before he remembered Nico was Piper's friend too.

"So? Are you gonna ask him out?" Piper asked, bringing him back to reality.

"I guess I better," Will said, sighing.

"Great! I have to go, I have a date to go on with Jason tonight. Good luck on asking Nico out!"

Will glanced at his phone a while longer, thinking about how he was going to approach Nico.

"All right. Operation Death Boy commence!"
