I hope you enjoy this chapter, in which both Nico and Will end up stalking each other with various recording devices. Stop judging, I can feel you judging me...

Chapter 4

"So wait, we're just gonna leave him out there?" Percy asked.

"Yeah, basically." Nico looked back through the pinhole, only to see Will sitting in the hallway. The blonde looked extremely tired, yet he still sat there, looking at Nico's door. The raven haired boy was not going back out there until Will left.

"You know," Percy started. "This is no way to solve your problems. You should go out there and work it out. It wouldn't kill you to try and keep up a healthy relation ship." Nico opened his mouth to say something, but Percy shushed him. "And no, Jason doesn't count as a healthy relationship. He's... Jason."

"Speaking of the devil," Nico murmured. He was still looking out the pinhole, and what he saw didn't exactly please him... Jason had arrived, and he was unlocking the door. Will was taking to him, using his hands to explain himself. Jason smiled, walking into his apartment with Will. "Oh, hell no!"

"What?" Percy said, pushing Nico aside. "I don't see the problem; Will's gone!"

"He's not gone," Nico grumbled. "He's in my dorm! With Jason!"

"Umm, no he's not! He's in your apartment alone. Jason's knocking on our door." Percy stated. Nico stared at the door with wide eyes. "Run!" Nico ran and squeezed himself under Percy's bed. He could still clearly see the door, which may or may not have been a good thing. "Hey, Jason!" Percy said as he opened the door. Nico could see his agent's false smile from across the room.

"Hey bro," Jason said in a worried tone. "You seen Neeks anywhere?"

"No," Percy said, running his hands through his hair. "Why?"

"It's a weird story, actually," Jason started. "Will Solace is in my dorm and he needs to talk to Nico. Something about apologizing... I can't remember. God, that kid was talking really fast. Anyway, It's pretty obvious..."

"What is?" Percy said, nervously.

"Well he obviously likes Nico! I mean, you should have seen his face when I told him Nico wasn't in our dorm; priceless! I mean, dude, he was blushing. Like, really blushing. He's really upset. So please, if you see Neeks anywhere, tell him to come to the dorm immediately. I don't think Will is gonna leave until he gets to apologize for whatever he did."

"Alright," Percy said. "I'll send him over if I see him. See you later, bro."

"Later." Jason said, shutting the door behind him.

"Dude, you need to go over there. Now."

"Look," Nico said, breathing heavily. "I don't have to-"

"Hear him out?" Percy said, cutting him off. "Yes, you do! Look, he obviously likes you! You obviously like him! How horrible could it honestly be?"

"I barely know him!" Nico practically shouted. "He blackmailed me into joining a club, by sitting on me!"

"Yeah," Percy argued. "And you lent him your shampoo!"

"Oh. My. God. For the last time, that wasn't me!"

"Doesn't matter. I'm kicking you out, and don't even think about sitting in the hall. I will come out there, and push you into your dorm if I have to!"

"I'd like to see you try!" Nico snorted.


Nico needed to make a mental note to never mess with a swimmer ever again. "HEY! Let go of me!"

"Yeah, I think not," Percy mused, dropping one hand to knock on the door. He was carrying an angry, kicking boy with one hand. Either he was really light, or Percy was really strong. Jason opened the door, a surprised look on his face.

"Where were you, Neeks?" He asked in a concerned way.

"I was in Percy's dorm!" He screamed. "It's his fault!" He accidentally hit Percy in the nose (Well, maybe not accidentally...) and he dropped him on the floor. Nico got up to run, but Jason grabbed his arm.

"You're not going anywhere," He said. "Thanks again, Percy." Percy nodded at Jason before retreating into his dorm. "I can't believe it," Jason scolded. "You managed to get into a fight on the first day of school? What the heck, man?" Nico could see Will standing behind Jason, pretending not to care about what was going on.

"It wasn't my fault." Nico repeated. "Some people just can't take a hint!" Will rolled his eyes.

"Look, I don't care what happened. You just need to make up. In fact," Jason said, pushing Will and Nico on to a couch. "Neither one of you can leave until you sort out your... Issues. Maybe, you could try actually looking at each other?!"

"Or, I could just sit here. I have all the time in the world," Nico said smugly. "I don't have to apologize for anything."

"I wasn't asking you to apologize," Will said. "I just wanted you to hear me out... You know, so we can be friends?"

"Who said I wanted to be friends with you?" Nico spat. "Did I ask for you to make me join a club? Did I ask for you to sit next to me? No!"

"You lent me your shampoo for Gods sake!" Will argued. Nico was about to say something, when Will took out his old iPod. He pressed a button on it, and it started playing Nico's audition song, Memories. "Don't even try to tell me it wasn't you, I have proof!"

"I hate you!" Nico screamed. He himself had trouble believing that.

"No, you don't!" Will said, pressing another button. 'That's him? You like Will Solace?' said a muffled version of Percy's voice. 'Tell anyone and you're dead,' He heard himself say. Jason's jaw dropped so low, it almost hit the floor.

"Fine," Nico said, trying to keep the red away from his cheeks. "You wanna play like this, Solace? I can play like this," He whipped out his old MP3 player.

'Well he obviously likes Nico! I mean, you should have seen his face when I told him Nico wasn't in our dorm; priceless! I mean, dude, he was blushing. Like, really blushing. He's really upset. So please, if you see Neeks anywhere, tell him to come to the dorm immediately. I don't think Will is gonna leave until he gets to apologize for whatever he did.' Jason's voice replayed.

"God, what's your problem?!" Will shouted. His face was just about as red as a fire truck. "I just wanted to apologize! This has nothing to do with how we may or may not feel about each other! I just don't want you to be mad at me, is that too much to ask?"

"You recorded me without permission. You blackmailed me," He argued. He was not about to let Will win this.

"So? You recorded me, too!" He said, rolling his eyes.

"No, I didn't. I recorded Jason, not you."

"I'm sorry, okay?!" Will yelled. "We don't even really know each other, yet we're still managing to screw things up!"

"Maybe, since we both screw everything up, we should stay away from each other!"

"Or, we could screw things up together," Will argued. "Oh, wait, never mind. You don't know what 'together' means!" The blonde got up to leave. Jason tried to stop him, but Will shoved him out of the way. He ran out the door without looking back.

And then they killed each other. The end. (Not really) But Jason and Percy are just so fed up with their schist. So is Cecil, who is Wills roommate. I know I haven't had much Cecil action in this story, so don't worry, he'll come into play next chapter. Just a reminder: THIS STORY IS NOT ALL ABOUT A CAPPELLA. Assuming he makes the team, Nico will only have practice once a week. Anyways, I might not post tomorrow, sorry!
