Hope you like the story. If you don't like Solangelo sorry. Ship name is Lilo. Thank you Demigod-Wizard-Gatekeeper for suggesting it. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I only own my OC's. Otherwise, they belong to Rick Riordan.
Nico's POV
I found Theseus in his living room. It has couches, chairs, and a TV.
"Good. You're here. Any longer and I was going to have someone find you." Well maybe next time you could just GET ME UP.
"I'm going to watch TV. Come. Join me." I really didn't want to, but I had no choice.
He turned the TV on and started flipping channels. When he found the one he was looking for, I did a double-take.
He had been watching us this whole time.
Right now Lily, Leo, and Will were with two strangers, walking through the woods.
They walked into a clearing.
I did another double-take.
Percy, Annabeth and a whole lot of strangers, were sitting at a table, at a restaurant.
Apparently when Lily saw them, she also did a double-take.
"Annabeth? Percy? What are you doing here?"
"I'm hanging out with my cousin."
Annabeth has other family. Whoa, that just seems weird.
Then Theseus appeared, but he was still here.
He walked up to Lily.
"You will be my bride."
"Not in a million years." She spat.
"Maybe this will convince you." He put up a screen that had him shocking me.
Lily started to cry.
Will was staring at it intently, noticing little details.
Then Theseus was gone.
He turned the TV off.
"Now. Let's go have some fun."
Lily's POV
I cried when Theseus showed us a video clip of him torturing Nico.
"Wait." Will said.
We all looked at him.
"Look. There I am. Standing right there. This was in the past. Nico said he was fine. Obviously Theseus didn't have any other footage, so he showed us the past. Nico is probably fine. Lily can't you sense life forces?" I nodded. "Well, is Nico's low?" I shook my head.
"By the way," I said "I only sensed six other life forces here. Leo's, Will's, Annabeth's, Percy's, and two of your other guests. How come you two don't have life forces?"
"We're dead." They said in unison.
"How can you be dead and still be living? No one can."
"Well I mean I guess Norse demigods can but I've never actually met one."
"Well now you've met two, and there are still more to meet." Alex said "Let's go."
"This is Mallory, Half-born, and T.J. There residents of Valhalla. Alex and I are too. This is Blitz and Hearth. Blitz is a troll, and Hearth is an Elf." Hearth said something in sign language. "He says hi."
"I can read sign language." Of course Will can.
Then they went on to have a conversation with hands. It was absolutely silent.
Leo's stomach growled breaking the silence.
"Well I guess we better eat." Said Magnus, with hunger in his eyes.
Leo's POV
I had been really quiet the whole day, because I was remembering something.
When Lily and I had first dueled, she ran out after she won. I had been pondering that all day.
I was hungry, I would not pass up food.
Magnus, though ate practically half of it.
"Hey Magnus." I said with an evil grin.
"Yes Leo?"
"What did the chick pea say when it had a stomach ache."
"I don't know Leo. Why don't you enlighten us?" He said with a glint in his eyes.
"I falafel." Then we burst out laughing. Percy started chuckling. Everybody else face palmed.
We were laughing so hard we felt out of our chairs. Then, we laughed harder.
We finally contained ourselves enough to get up into our chairs again.
"Really Leo? Falafel?" Lily looked at me with skeptical eyes.
"I loved my joke."
Lily rolled her eyes and kissed me. I felt like no one else was there.
Then, Mallory said, "Boys"
I pulled away.
"What's wrong with boys exactly? I believe I'm awesome."
"That's the point. You aren't. You just laugh your way through life with no cares in the world."
That stung. I got up and excused myself from the table.
"What's up with Leo?" Percy asked.
"Not sure. I'll go find out."
Lily walked up to me and sat down.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just-it's kind of true. I feel like all I have in life is my humor. I have no closely related family. I have no one."
"Leo, you don't have no one. Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Nico, Will. Even if they don't admit it, they're there for you. I'm here for you, Leo. I love you." Then I looked into her green eyes and couldn't resist. I kissed her.
We pulled apart.
"I've been meaning to ask. Why did you run out on the duel, the first day?"
"You looked a little bit scared. That's how I used to feel toward bullies in my school. I didn't want to be the bully."
"I don't think you're a bully." Then I stood up. "We should probably get back."
"Probably" She responded. Then she held her arms out, I pulled her up.
We walked back and sat down.
"Sorry." Mallory muttered.
"No. It's okay. You helped me realize something."
Percy looked at me curiously.
"When did you guys start dating?"
"A while ago." I said. Lily scoffed.
"Leo, I know you know the exact day, you have it marked on the calendar."
"Okay. Guilty. July 22nd."
Hope you like the chapter.
Peace out.
