"I must do what?!"

Nico was playing with his friends truth and dare in the Poseidon cabin. Around him there sat Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Grover and Juniper. Normally he didn't like these kind of games, but his friends convinced him to play with them. Fine, what is the worst, what can happen? He was wrong about that.

"I said you must go to Will and give him a kiss." Grover said grinning while holding his arms around his girlfriend Juniper. Percy and Jason have convinced him to join the Solangelo club. Although he might be not close to Nico as Percy or Jason, he was considering him as a friend and he always helped his friends. Besides they got a little closer in the past few weeks and spent some time together (with Juniper) in the nature just enjoying it.

Nico glared at him. "And what if I refuse?" He said while crossing his arms.

Grover grinned at him. "You can't. You swore on the River Styx that you would always fulfill your dares and always tell the truths. Forgotten?" His friends around him began also to grin.

Nico groaned. He knew that it was a bad idea to join the game. Why did he join it again. Stupid new social me. "Fine." He said sighing. "But I will get you for that." He added giving Grover one of his infamous death glares. Grover gulped knowing this wasn't going to be good, but didn't say anything. Next to Grover Nico saw how Percy and Jason were giving themselves high-fives. Nico rolled his eyes. Nico sighed, then he stood up and walked towards the Apollo cabin. Today the infirmary was almost empty. The only person still sitting in there was Will, his sister Kayla and Brianna. Brianna's face lightened up as she saw Nico.

"Nico!" she said. She smiled him. Nico returned the smile.

"Hey, Brianna. How are you?"

The little girl grinned at him. In her eyes was a trace of innocence that Nico haven't seen a long time ago. He already lost his innocence, he didn't wanted that another child lost it, but as demi-god you were predestinated to lose your innocence.

"Great. Will and Kayla were just checking my leg." Brianna spoke excited.

Nico now turned to Will. He wore his usual doctor smock and like usually he was grinning at him. Nico was feeling weird. It was now just moments before he would kiss Will. He didn't know how to respond to this kind of feeling.

"Hey Death Boy, great too see you. What takes you here?" Will said with a good mood. Honestly his always sunny attitude was killing him inside.

"I…I need something from you. Don't take that personal." He said while rubbing his back.

Will looked at him curiously. "Well what is it, why should I take this…" He didn't finished his sentence. Nico crushed his lips onto his Will in this moment and kissed him furiously. Will was shocked for a moment, but then responded the kiss. His lips tasted like honey as Nico continued to massage his lips. Nico never kissed someone in his life before. A few month ago he didn't even think that somebody would even love him and now he was kissing one of his best friend. Even if it did felt somehow weird, he felt like he was on cloud nine. The kiss quickly turned into something passionate. After what felt like hours they both broke apart. They were breathing heavily and from his corner of his eyes Nico could see a shocked Kayla and a curious looking Brianna. Then he turned to Will and saw on his face a mix between happiness and confusion.

"Wow, Death Boy, I never knew you had it in you." Will said grinning in his usual manner.

Nico rubbed his neck. "Yeah…" Should he tell him that everything was just a dare? On the one hand, this could be his chance for a start in a new relationship. On the other hand Nico was definitely sure that Will didn't like him back. His sunny attitude was just a part of him and didn't mean that he enjoyed the kiss. And he wasn't sure if he was ready for a relationship now. His whole life he had social problems and he still didn't liked to be touched.

His thoughts then were interrupted by the small voice of Brianna. "Does that mean you two are together. Isn't that illegal or something? I always thought that only boys and girls did kiss each other, not two boys." She said. She was not judging them, no it was more like a question coming from a naive 9 year old child, who didn't understood the concept of being gay and was probably never confronted with this topic.

Will and Nico were speechless. They didn't know how to response to this. Luckily Kayla came to the rescue.

"No, it's not sweety. It's just a special form of relationship, like a mythomagic limited edition pack." She said while still staring at Will and Nico.

Brianna's face lightened up. "Cool. Does that you two are together now, because you kissed?"

Will looked expectantly at Nico, while Nico was biting his lip. He decided that he should tell Will the truth. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Kayla carrying Brianna away into another room under protest of Brianna. They were alone now. Will was still staring at him. His stare was like a bed, warm and embracing.

"Well…actually this whole thing was a dare." Nico said nervously.

Will's face fell. Nico flinched as he saw the hurt in Will's eyes. Was he really hurt that that kiss wasn't intentionally?

Then he quickly recovered from his trance. He gave Nico a small smile. "Oh…okay, cool, then."

Nico raised his eyebrows. He couldn't believe that Will was taking that so well. "You sure you're okay?" He asked carefully.

"Yeah, why should I be not. I mean it was just a small dare between friends, right? Nothing big."

Nico looked down. "Yeah, just a dare between friends." He didn't know why these words have hurt him so much, maybe he was ill or something or maybe he really had an crush on Will. For a few minutes the room was silent. The atmosphere was awkward and tense. Then Nico decided to say something.

"I should probably go, you know, return to my other friends." He said not staring away from Will.

Will fell out of his trance. He gave Nico a small smile. "Yeah, you probably should."

"So, we see each other tomorrow?" Nico asked awkwardly.

Will looked at him with his deep blue eyes. "Yeah, see each other tomorrow. Bye, Nico." He raised his hand to say goodbye.

Nico did th same. "Bye." He said softly. Then he walked out of the infirmary. As walked back to his friends, many thoughts were wandering through his mind. Did he like Will? Did Will like him? Was he ready for a relationship? And would this kiss destroy their friendship? Those and other thoughts were wandering through his mind. Many questions, but no answers. He decided just to forget about today. Somehow everything will be okay between them like before. At least he hoped so.

As he reached his friends he saw Annabeth wearing a fish cap, Jason kissing a brick, Piper dressed like a barbie, Percy drenched in chocolate sirup, Grover having two cups on his horns and Juniper wearing a shirt saying I am a tree and it sucks. Nico facepalmed. He didn't even wanted to know what happened when he was away. Then they finally have noticed him. They immediately ended all of their dares and asked Nico how it was.

"And did you kiss him?"

"Was he hot?"

"Didi you like it?"

All of his friends were shouting wildly and after a while Nico had enough. "GUYS!" He shouted and his friends finally came to silence.

They now were looking at him expectantly. Nico rubbed his neck. Finally he said: "Yes, I did kiss him."

And then chaos broke out. The girls squealed and hugged him tightly and the boys were doing victory dances in the background. For a moment all of them were just squealing about how cute he and Will were. Then after everyone has calmed down, Piper asked: "Does that mean, you're together now?"

Nico stared at them for a moment, then he said: "No."

The others looked at him in shock. That was not what they had expected. "Why not?" Percy asked carefully.

Nico sighed. "It's…complicated, alright? I don't think either of us two is really sure what he feels for the other. And I didn't really wanted to jeopardize our friendship. In the end it was just a dare alright. Nothing real." Nico said as he looked down. He was now sure that he probably had some feelings for the Apollo boy. But he really didn't wanted to destroy what they had. It was better to stay friends for now.

"But Nico, don't you wanna be with him?" Jason asked.

Nico sighed again. "Like I said, it's complicated, alright? And I would be glad, if any of you wouldn't interfere with my personal life. It is not my life for nothing." He glared at all of them. They all shifted uncomfortable. At least they have the decency to look guilty.

"Nico, we just want to make you happy, don't misunderstand this." Juniper piped in.

Nico looked at them softly. "I know, and I'm glad that you care about me. But this is something I have to do alone, alright?"

The others looked down. Then after a while Annabeth said: "It's okay Nico. If you want us to stop, then we will do it. But if you ever need our help, you know that we are always there for you." she said softly.

Nico smiled gratefully at her. "Thanks, I appreciate it. Now, if you excuse me. I would like to go to my cabin." And with that he turned away and went to his cabin.

The six stared at him for a while. All of them felt guilty for what happened. Their mission Solangelo just got a huge scar on its surface now.
