Pairings: Will x Nico, Percy x Annabeth, Jason x Piper, Frank x Hazel

xXxXx

Nico sighed sadly as he cleaned his blade, occasionally looking up from his seat to watch the Apollo cabin.

Will had retreated to his cabin since the moment they had returned and Nico was starting to get worried. He had already been stuck there for a week and the Apollo cabin was getting sick of it. Will had started to smell from not taking showers and the group of doctors were getting worried about Will's refusal to eat.

Will's sister Kayla noticed and walked up to him. Nico worriedly eyed the water gun cradled safely in her arms and the bag filled with water balloons.

"What are you doing?" Nico felt like he was going to regret asking that question.

Kayla just smiled innocently, "That depends on whether or not you choose to help us or not?"

Nico raised an eyebrow at that. "If you're planning on attacking Will with those then I'm in." Nico couldn't help but smile at that idea. A soaking wet and pouty Will was not something Nico would miss.

Kayla giggled, "You're cute when you smile. I still can't see why you would date a dork like Solace."

Nico shrugged, "He's my dork though."

Kayla grinned as she handed him the water gun. Nico held up a finger, "I need my camera!"

"Don't worry, Linda and Doris are already on camera duty. We'll add you into the camera recipients."

Nico took the water gun and shook it. It was full. "What's the plan?"

"That's where you come in. You somehow convince him to come outside and then BAM! We get him."

Nico frowned at that, "It took you a week to come up with that?" he asked, unimpressed. "And what if I had said no?"

Kayla shrugged, "We thought he would be back to normal by now. Also, one of my brothers had caught you and Will in a compromising position in his bed we would have blackmailed you with."

"But everyone already knows we're together."

"Yeah, but Chiron has that rule against couples making out alone in their cabins."

Nico smirked at that, "No, Chiron has a rule against a girl and a boy being alone in a cabin together."

"Yeah! Well if he saw the picture I can assure you the rule would change!"

Nico sighed and walked to the Apollo cabin, this conversation was going nowhere. He placed the gun by the door and watched as the entire Apollo cabin and some kids from other cabins surround him. He snuck in and closed the door behind him. The cabin was empty.

"I told you, I don't want to talk," a voice mumbled from a messy cocoon of blankets on the largest bed in the room.

"Then don't talk, but please listen," Nico said softly.

Will's head popped up from the blankets and his messy blond hair was no more than a birds nest.

"Everyone's worried about you." Nico started, "I'm worried about you."

Will sighed and sat up, "I know and I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do or how to deal with all of this." he admitted.

Nico slowly approached Will and sat on his bed. "Well sulking and ignoring your responsibilities isn't the answer. You're a councilor."

"Nico, how did you get over losing your mother?"

Nico frowned at that random question and thought for a second. "I don't really remember, my memory was wiped. You know that."

"But still. What about Bianca, how did you get over losing her?"

"Will, I really don't want to talk about that right now. I didn't handle it very well because I didn't have people to help me through it. You do."

Will nodded, "I'm sorry."

Nico took Will's hand into his own and met his eyes, "I know it's hard but just remember that you're not alone, okay? You have me and you have your brothers and sisters and you have all your friends. We all care about you a lot, okay. We don't like to see you hurting."

Will nodded and cupped Nico's cheek, "I love you."

Nico made a face, "I love you too but you stink."

Will winced guiltily, "I guess I have been slacking off a bit."

"Come on, let's get some fresh air." Nico offered.

Will smiled and nodded, he took Nico's hand and followed the boy outside. He frowned when he saw Nico quickly shut the door behind him and block him from using it again. He looked around to see all his friends surrounding them with various watery weapons in their hands.

Will turned to Nico and watched as the boy picked up a water gun.

Will grinned, "You led me into an ambush!" he accused.

Nico just put on an innocent face, "Why would I do that?"

Will shrieked as Nico sprayed the boy in the face. Kayla took that as a signal and yelled "Attack!"

Nico gasped as he was hit with a water balloon. He glared but another water balloon hit his face and drenched him.

Will laughed at that, he always thought drenched Nico was adorable. Nico glared at him and grinned as someone hit Will in the head. Soon both boys were drenched.

Will was laughing by now, "How do I smell now?"

"A bit better, your breath still stinks though."

Will grabbed Nico around the waist and kissed him as they were pelted with water. A couple catcalls and whistles later Will stuck his finger up and flipped them off as Nico wrapped his arms around Will's neck.

Nico chuckled at they pulled apart and smashed his lips against Will's. He missed the other boy more than he'd care to admit. He shadow travelled them to the beach where they could be alone and wrapped an arm around Will. He rested his head against Will's chest and grinned.

"I found them!" A voice yelled.

Nico and Will turned and was met with a face full of water.

"Run!" Will helped Nico up and pulled the boy away, a mob of demigods after them.

"This is your fault!" Nico glared at him.

Will chuckled, "I love you too."

xXxXx

Nico finished drying his hair and was settling down in his bed when he noticed a letter and a small present on his desk. He wrapped the towel around his neck and took the card. He sat down on his bed and turned the letter over. On the front was his name. Nico. Nothing else.

He flipped it back over and tore the letter open. He pulled out a picture of what he assumed was Naomi and a younger version of Will posing. There was also an image of Will and Tommy asleep on a bed together.

Nico carefully put those images aside and pulled out a letter. He unfolded it and smoothed out the creases before settling down to read it.

Dear Nico,

I realize I never had the chance to talk to you, and I never really tried to. And for that I am terribly sorry. I could tell you a load of crappy excuses for being the awful person I was but I won't. You don't deserve that and it wouldn't change anything.

I hope you all got back home safely and I hope you didn't take anything I said seriously. I was wrong and I was too blinded by myself to realize what I was losing. I had tried to talk to Will about giving him a second chance but after talking to him I realized it wasn't him who needed the second chance. It was me.

Now I don't expect anything to really change, I have hurt you all so much already, beyond forgiveness. And if Will is still the open hearted boy he was then he must be feeling awful about what happened. He brought up some pretty good points in our talk and I realize I never even gave you a chance.

You sound like a remarkable boy and I'm glad Will has someone like you in his life and if it isn't too much, I would like to get to know you as well. Only if you allow it of course. I know it doesn't mean much but I think I can accept your relationship with my son. He wouldn't have brought you home if he didn't truly love you or just to spite me. And I know you must love him too because you endured so much for him.

It wasn't fair of me to do the things I do and I know I don't deserve a second chance but I'm selfish and Will is my son and I love him. Anyways, please IM me if you get the chance so we can talk.

Naomi

Nico frowned and put down the letter. He didn't know what to think about it. Naomi seemed so willing to try to make it work with Will. The way Will had acted seemed like she had rejected him completely.

Nico eyed the package before pulling it onto his lap and slowly opened it. Inside was a basket filled with chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Nico grabbed a cookie and frowned, it was still warm and it smelled fresh.

He looked around for a note and reached down once he found it.

Nico,

Please accept these as a start to an apology.

Naomi

Hestia or someone must have been watching her and charmed the sweets. Nico broke a bit of the cookie off and popped it in his mouth.

It was good. Just the right amount of sweetness and chocolateness. He moaned and flopped back on his bed to enjoy it more fully.

"Why are you moaning?"

Nico snapped out of his cookie induced daze and looked up to see Will's head peaking in his cabin. Nico took another bite of his cookie and pointed to the letter.

"It's from your mother."

Will frowned and lifted up the letter. Nico watched as Will stumbled to sit on Nico's bed. He lifted the letter up to his face and his eyes scanned the words there.

Once he was done he put it down and sighed.

"Are you okay?" Nico asked softly.

"She wants to make up." Will said numbly.

Nico carefully watched Will's expressions.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know."

"Will, she's trying. This is what you wanted."

"I know."

"At least give her a chance. You'll regret it forever if you don't."

xXxXx

Nico sat next to Will as the campers around them roasted marshmallows for s'mores.

He watches as a girl from the Ares cabin lit her marshmallow on fire causing her to pout. The girl next to her laughed at that and handed her a new marshmallow with the instructions to try not to burn it.

The boys across from them were trying to see how many marshmallows they could fit in their mouths at a time. Nico rolled his eyes at that.

A couple of the Aphrodite boys were gossiping about some actress they want to marry while some of the girls were flirting with some of the Ares boys.

The Ares kids were too busy burning marshmallows and eating them to establish some dominance that no one but them cared about.

Nico turned to the other couples. Annabeth and Percy were still as hopeless at cooking as ever as they watched their seventh marshmallow burn and melt to the ground. At least they were horrible chefs together. He felt bad for any future children they spawned and made a mental note to cook for the kids at every chance he got.

Jason and Piper on the other hand were munching on perfect s'mores and giggling at something Leo was telling them. Leo and Calypso were sitting next to each other but they weren't speaking at the moment.

Will nudged him and gained Nico's attention. Will stood up as the whole Apollo cabin made it's way to the front. Will grabbed his guitar from the side and began strumming it to gain everyone's attention.

"This week has been hard for me and I would just like to thank everyone who helped me through it. Even if it involved soaking me. Which I do plan to get revenge by the way." Will warned earning some laughs. He turned to Nico. "This is for you."

He began to strum on his guitar, his siblings joining in on their guitar. His voice came out smoothly and clearly.

When I see your smile

Tears run down my face I can't replace

And now that I'm strong I have figured out

How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul

And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

Will sang as he strummed on his guitar. He was enjoying the blush on Nico's cheeks and grinned. A couple of his brothers echoed his voice.

I will never let you fall (let you fall)

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Seasons are changing

And waves are crashing

And stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one

By now everyone had tears in their eyes. Will still only had eyes for Nico. Nico just smiled at him.

I will never let you fall (let you fall)

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

'Cause you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart

Please don't throw that away

'Cause I'm here for you

Please don't walk away and

Please tell me you'll stay, whoa, stay, whoa

Nico walked over to Will and smiled at him. Everyone around them curiously looked over to see what Nico would do.

Will kept singing and playing.

Use me as you will

Pull my strings just for a thrill

And I know I'll be okay

Though my skies are turning gray

Will put down his guitar as Nico stepped closer. They kept singing though, the campers around them watching intensely. His brothers played their guitars louder as Will's voice got louder.

I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Will's voice faded out at the end of the song. Nico leaned in and kissed Will, preventing any more words out of the blonds mouth. The rest of the campers either kept singing or started cheering and wolf whistling. Some even shouting at them to get a room.

When they finally pulled apart Nico rested his forehead against Will's.

"I love you." he whispered.

Will grinned. "I love you."

xXxXx

The song is Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus because I absolutely love this song and Will would totally sing this to Nico. Especially after everything he's been through.

Anyways, review for the hungry
