Beginning Notes
UUUGH... I'm back at school. And I'm totally done with it already. So I wrote more solangelo, since this is probably the last day I won't have homework. *sigh* Anyways, all characters belong to Rick Riordan, hope y'all enjoy.
Nico's POV
I put on my jacket so Mama won't see all the ink on my arm. I run down the stairs and go to Mama's office. Luckily, she's in the living room, or she'd think that I've gone crazy.
I slap my hand onto the scanner of the copier and make a photocopy of the exact flowers we drew for each other. I take the photocopy to my room and hide it in my desk drawer. Then I go take a shower.
Of course only half of what's written on my arm goes away, I'll have to wait for my soulmate to wash their half off. When I get out of the shower, I notice that something new is written on my arm. Numbers...?
Then the excitement hits me. They wrote down their phone number for me! I quickly get dressed, and then run back to my room. I grab my phone and immediately add the number to my contacts as 'Soulmate :)'
Will's POV
When I get home, the first thing I do is take a shower, I definitely don't want my nosy siblings to see my arm. But before I even get to the bathroom, my mother stops me.
'So, how was school?' she asks. 'Uh, it was great,' I say. I turn around and suddenly Kayla is standing right behind me. 'What's that on your hand?' 'Nothing,' I say, and make a run for it before they can ask any more questions.
...
That evening I get a text from my soulmate: hey
I smile. 'So, are you going to tell me about who you're texting?' my mum says. 'What?' 'You're grinning like an idiot at your phone, tell me, who is it?' she repeats. I quickly look around. Kayla is in the kitchen, cooking, and Austin is in his bedroom. Good. 'My soulmate,' I say. My mother smiles. 'That's nice, Will.'
I text back: Watcha doing?
Their answers appears almost instantly: Digging a hole for the grave I'm going to need after taking my biology test
Wait, you're bad at biology?
... Yeah, why?
Well, I could help you... It's one of my best subjects.
Huh, maybe that would help.
I hope so for you, wouldn't want you to die ;)
Haha -_-
Well, I can't help you if you don't tell me what you're supposed to be studying.
Oh, right...
After helping my soulmate with their biology, dinner is ready. Perfect timing, because I'm hungry.
...
'Will, dear, don't forget that you have to go to the dentist after school today,' my mum says. I almost choke on my breakfast. 'Excuse me?' I say. 'You have a dentist appointment today.' Crap.
People always think it's weird that I'm terrified of the dentist, definitely since I want to become a doctor. I just don't like that someone needs to be so close to my face, and stick weird metal objects in my mouth just to eventually jump to the conclusion that 'Hey, you brushed your teeth, good job buddy!' YEAH, OF COURSE I BRUSHED MY TEETH!
'No, I won't forget,' I say. 'You sure?' Austin says. 'Yeah, I'm sure. Why wouldn't I be?' 'Because you never showed up last time,' Kayla answers for him. 'Or the time before that.' 'Well, I won't forget this time,' I say. Austin rolls his eyes. 'If you say so.'
Before I run off to school, I quickly write down 'death @ 15:30' on my hand, so I don't forget.
Nico's POV
I'm standing at Jason's locker, waiting for our usual meetup before classes start. I bought some coffee on my way to school, because I'm tired as heck. I studied all night last night, because I really need a good grade for this biology test.
Finally, Jason shows up. 'Hey Neeks.' 'Hey,' I answer groggily. 'What's that?' Jason asks, pointing at my hand. 'What, coffee?' I say. 'No, what's that written on your hand?' I look at my hand. There's indeed something written on it.
'Death at... WHAT THE HECK NICO!' Jason reads, shouting that last part, making some heads turn our way. 'Gods, could you shout any louder?' I say. 'Sorry, but we've been over this, no killing yourself,' he says. 'But-' 'No buts! You've got friends here, and what about your mother, huh? How would you think she'd feel? Did you ever think about tha-' 'Jason, stop!' I say. He stares blankly at me. 'I- I didn't write that.'
End Notes
Just in case you didn't get it: Will is not planning suicide. He's just so dam terrified of the dentist okay? Anyways, I'm not sure if I'll be able to update as frequently as I have, since you know... school. I'll try my best. And a big thanks to my friend lovelylittlelion for the idea. Virtual blue cookies for you! Go check her out on AO3, and I'll see y'all in the next chapter. Byeee :)
