Sorry for the lack of updates, obviously the holidays and New Year have been busy, and I haven't had time to write very much. Anyway, I'm updating now.
Anyway, did anyone guess Will and Nyssa? My new favourite couple! They're up there with Thalico! I had to write them, because I couldn't keep them from you guys any longer!
Anyway, enjoy!
Will and Nyssa:
Will watched silently as Nyssa left the dance. You could see the confusion in his eyes, as he stopped dancing with Annabeth, and followed the daughter of Hephaestus with his eyes. Will was not a rude boy, most of the time. But, he couldn't bear the thought of Nyssa being upset or hurt, and so he dropped Annabeth's hands suddenly, and ran out of the pavilion. Though, not before shooting daggers at Jason, and silently promising to kill him if he'd hurt Nyssa.
When he got outside, Nyssa was no-where to be seen. Will could feel the panic rising, as he frantically jogged past the cabins. But, he soon noticed a light on in the forges, and knew that he'd found her. Of course she would go to the forges, it was practically her home.
Will descended the steps into the building, and knocked softly on the door, before pushing it open gently.
'Nyssa?' He said softly, grabbing her attention, as she hadn't been facing him.
She spun to face him, turning from the project she'd been working on. She had an oily hammer in her hand, and was still wearing her dress.
'Are you okay?' Will asked gently.
'I'm fine. I've just had enough of the dance.' She sighed. 'You can go back up now; I'm okay on my own.'
'Nyssa, I'm not leaving until I've changed your bandage.' Will warned sternly. 'You promised you'd come and get it changed.'
He gestured to the now dirty bandage that was wrapped skilfully around her wrist.
'I forgot.' She lied. 'But, don't worry it's not important.'
'Of course it's important.' Will protested. 'It's your health.'
'It's fine Will. I'll come to your cabin tomorrow. There's no point having to fuss about it now.'
Will reached into his suit's pocket and pulled out a roll of dressing.
'Do you think I didn't know you wouldn't come and get it changed?' He questioned, his eyebrows raised. 'I know how stubborn you are.'
Without a word Nyssa held her hand out to him, and he took it gently.
Will changed the dressing fairly quickly. Both demi-gods felt the butterflies in their stomachs as their hands were touching. But neither of them let it show, and they both kept quiet until Will was done.
As soon as he had finished, Nyssa dropped her hand, and immediately returned to the workbench she'd been using earlier. Will could see the grease covering everything and startled her by speaking.
'You'll ruin that dress if you get grease on it.' He warned.
'It doesn't matter.' Nyssa shrugged. 'It's wasted anyway. The boy didn't even notice I had a dress on.'
'You don't need to use a boy as a reason to wear a dress.' Will said. 'But, I assume you don't mean Jason.'
'No.' Nyssa agreed. 'He did say I looked pretty, which was nice. But, he likes Piper, and they're meant to be together.'
'So, you like someone else?' Will guessed, feeling hopeful.
'Yeah.' She nodded. 'But he's out of my league, I guess.'
'That can't be true.' Will said shaking his head in disbelief. 'There's no-one in this camp who's out of your league. Any boy would be lucky to have you.'
'You don't have to say that.' Nyssa smiled, blushing.
'I mean it.' He smiled back, a small blush on his cheeks as well.
Nyssa hugged Will gratefully, and felt the thumping of her heart become more erratic. She tried to hide it, but when Will wrapped his arms around her tightly, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
'It's you.' She mumbled against his chest. 'I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.'
She moved to pull away from him, but Will kept her held to his chest.
'Don't be sorry.' He whispered soothingly. 'It's you, too.'
'You mean that?' She asked, pulling back slightly to look into his eyes.
'Of course I do. It's always been you, Nyssa.'
The daughter of Hephaestus dropped her head, and grinned goofily at the ground. But, Will pulled her chin up and forced her to meet is eyes again.
'And, just to clarify. I did notice your dress.' He told her, tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear. 'And, I think you look beautiful, as always.'
Nyssa was wearing a deep orange coloured dress which hugged her curves perfectly. Her dark hair was piled on top of her head, and framed her face flawlessly. Her make-up was minimal, and her accessories and shoes were glittery black. It was so different to how she normally looked, and she looked gorgeous.
'Thanks.' Nyssa grinned. 'You look good too.'
Will was wearing a light grey suit, with a crisp white shirt, and a plain black tie.
'Thanks.' He chuckled. 'I would have worn an orange tie, if I'd known what you were wearing.'
'Don't worry. You look great, anyway.' Nyssa smiled.
The couple relapsed into silence for a while, both thinking the same thing. Nyssa decided to be brave and ask it first.
'So, what happens now?' She asked, not sure if she wanted to hear the answer.
'Well, as much as I love being your personal doctor, I want to be something moreā¦If that's what you want, I mean.'
Nyssa's face broke out into a huge smile, as she nodded eagerly. 'It's what I want, too.'
'So, just to make it official. Do you want to be my girlfriend?' Will asked, a smile playing on his lips.
'Yes.' Nyssa nodded. 'Yes, I do.'
After a few seconds of silence, Nyssa spoke again.
'I love you, Will.' She confessed, her eyes showing fear.
But, Will's face showed nothing but affection as he leant in and kissed her passionately. He held her face in his hands, and she clutched the front of his shirt in hers.
'I love you too.' He beamed, as they broke apart. 'God's, I love you, so much.'
With that, Nyssa pulled him in for another kiss, which was rudely interrupted by a loud 'Boom!'
Will jumped in surprise but Nyssa merely stated. 'Don't worry about it. I know what that is.'
Will then completely forgot the noise, and resumed making the most of his time with his new girlfriend.
