ey guys this is the last chapter, so it's going to be a tad longer than normal, thanks for sticking with me to the end and I hope you like it! Again I don't own pjo, read on.
Will's POV
I'm a wreck. Today was my day off but since I'm the head councilor I still had to give the younger campers archery lessons and because of the war I can't keep myself away from the infirmary, there's just to many people in need. I only planed stay to stay three hours and then shower, change and head over to Nico's cabin but of course that didn't happen so here I am five minutes before I'm supposed to be at Nico's exhausted, stressed, puked on and covered in blood. Excellent. I showered as quickly as humanly possible and threw on a pair of jeans and a light blue t-shirt. 7:12. not too horrific.
Line break
"Hey Nico sorry I'm late" I said bursting through the door.
"You should be young man" Jason said looking at me with a strict face. Ever since I started hanging around Nico Jason started playing the role of over protective father, which is sweet I guess but also a little bit creepy.
"Shut up Grace, Percy and Annabeth aren't even here yet" Sam said from the bunk above Nico's where she was lying on her back with her legs crossed against the wall and her head hanging over the side of the bed, dropping crisps into her open mouth.
"Well Percy isn't Nico's boyfriend!" Jason said causing Nico to blush
"Neither is blondy, well, not yet anyway" she said winking at me, making Nico go impossibly redder and hide his face in his hands, he was adorable.
"Why are we listing all the people who I'm not dating" Nico asked.
"Because the list of people you are dating is very short" Jason replied
"Why am I friends with you idiots…"Nico muttered
He was sitting on the foot of his bed with his face in his hands and his elbows resting on his knees.
"Aww… Nico I love you too" Sam said reaching a hand down from the top bunk to ruffle his already messy hair.
"Ummm… okay so what are we doing?"
"Playing a game of my own invention!" Percy announced kicking the door open dramatically as lightning flashed across the sky.
"Oh my gods, Jason did you two plan that?" Sam asked laughing
"Yes and it was epic" Jason replied high-fiveing Percy
"Thanks for the lightning bro" Percy said grinning like a maniac
"Anytime"
"Also were you waiting outside the door for someone to ask what we're doing?" piper asked accusingly with a broad grin on her face.
"No…" Percy said apparently finding his pair of blue converse runners very interesting.
"Lay him off it was a cool entrance" Jason said
"Dorks…So anyway what's the game?" Nico asked
"Can't say till everyone's here." Percy said stubbornly.
A few seconds later Annabeth came in with her nose in a book "oh good they already did it" she said stepping over the scorch mark on the Hades cabin porch, then, looking up she noticed Percy was doing his sad baby seal face.
"I mean hey babe sorry I missed it" she said quickly pecking Percy on the lips and pulling him down to sit with her on the floor. The kiss seemed to cheer him right up, they are by far the cutest couple at camp.
"So now that everyone's here…" Piper began
"Oh right" Percy said standing up "gather 'round children"
Nico acted like he didn't hear the last part and Sam raised her eyebrow, or lowered her eyebrow seeing as her head was still hanging upside down off the edge of the bunk bed.
"Can you guys just for once be excited? Please? Just once?" Percy asked in an annoyed voice
Sam sighed and hopped down to join them and Nico followed.
"Alright so the game I have chosen is kind of like never have I ever but I made it cooler, so everyone says something they have done and if someone hasn't done it they have to do it now. You get one point per person who hasn't done it and the person with the most points in the end wins." Percy finished slightly out of breath and obviously quite proud of himself for making up his own game.
"But what if I say given a person sixteen stitches?" I asked
"Or if I said made out with a boy?" Piper asked
Nico and I made eye contact for a second and then he looked away blushing. Does that mean he was thinking about making out with me? I asked myself smirking.
"Umm… don't say those things?" Percy answered uncertainly.
"What if we just play truth or dare?" Piper suggested
"Or risk" Annabeth said enthusiastically
"I wonder who would win Mrs. Daughter of goddess of battle strategy" Jason asked teasingly
"Sarcasm works best in short sentences." Nico said
"And Sam's an Athena kid too" Annabeth said defensively
Sam just shrugged
"No guys I worked hard on this!" Percy said
"Babe you came up with it at breakfast when I reminded you it was your turn to choose the game for game night." Annabeth told him
"Yeah and I never felt so stressed while eating blue pancakes!"
"Okay calm down blue boy" Sam said "what if we just do a shot or something if we haven't done it"
"As game master of the evening I approve of Sam's suggestion." Percy stated.
"Nico can't drink!" Jason said protectively
"I've had alcohol before…" Nico muttered
I felt a bit awkward I was probably the only person in this room that hasn't had a drink at some point in their lives. I'm not against it or anything it's just not good for you and I've never really felt the need, I'm pretty lucky compared to most half-bloods.
"He's Italian they can drink when their like fourteen!" Percy said
"It's sixteen actually" Nico corrected
"Yeah so if he was in Italy he could get drunk off his arse and it would be fine"
"In two months" Nico corrected
"Fine" Jason said
"Well you give up easy" Sam said smiling
"Yeah you're a terrible parent, Sally would have been all over Sam with statistics and examples of poor choices people make when their drunk just for suggesting it" Annabeth stated mimicking Sam's grin.
"He's not my dad" Nico said
"So you guys want me to be an overbearing dad?" Jason asked
"Not even a little bit "Nico said gloomily
"No just saying if you go, go all the way" Sam said shrugging
"No don't go anywhere, definitely don't go all the way" Nico said angrily
Piper and I were just sitting to the side watching the argument and laughing at Nico's reactions
"Does this happen often?" I asked her
"All the time" she said grinning
"Don't you wanna help Jason?"
"Nah he got himself into it, besides the whole dad thing is getting creepy." Piper responded
"Right?" I said
"Do you wanna help Nico?" she asked me
"No I know he likes arguing with them, it's all in good fun which is why cabin 13 is still intact rather than flooded, struck by lightning and sucked into the underworld"
"Well it has been struck by lightning" she responded
We both laughed at how cliché but somehow still cool Percy's entrance was.
Line break
"Okay so new rules say something you've never done if someone else has done it they take a shot person least drunk at the end wins. "Percy stated
"So never have I ever drunk edition" Sam simplified
"Exactly" Percy responded apparently giving up on originality.
"Alright everyone swear on the river Styx that if you've done it you'll take a shot." Annabeth said.
"That way your glass will automatically re-fill if you did it, and none of you cheeky bastards can lie" Sam finished.
"You got the bottle started didn't you" Nico asked smirking
"How could you tell?" Sam asked
"Your Irish starts to show" Annabeth, Nico, and Piper said shrugging in sync.
"That was just a bit weird" Percy said
"Yeah when did that start happening?" Jason asked
"Also we should start doing that" Jason and Percy said at the same time
"Cool" Percy said once again high fiving Jason.
But Nico and the girls completely ignored them.
"Not just the accent, you start saying things like 'cheeky bastards' and 'she didn't get knees like that from saying her prayers don't you know'." Annabeth said in her best Irish accent, which was actually pretty good. (My welsh aunt said that about one of my older cousins, I died of laughter it's something about a sixty-something year old woman calling your least-favorite cousin a slut you know?)
Sam burst out laughing "you sound like me dad…. Okay now I hear it"
Causing everyone else, including Nico to laugh along. He had a nice laugh, I wish he'd laugh more often. I want to be the one to make him laugh more often.
Line break
"Okay me first" Annabeth said "never have I ever been a corn plant" she said catching Nico's eye and grinning.
I bet theirs a great story behind that I thought to myself as Nico's glass filled with clear, amber liquid.
He gave Annabeth one of his infamous death glares and downed the liquid quickly.
"Never have I ever… been a blonde" Nico said
Jason, Annabeth, Me and to my surprise Percy took a drink from our respective glasses. The liquid tasted strange and burned as it went down but it isn't as bad as everyone says (at least from my experience)
Everyone stared at Percy after they finished their shots
"What I was curious?" Percy said.
"He had the frosted tips for two months" Annabeth said laughing
"It worked for Zack Efron" Percy muttered
"The fact that you know that makes it so much worse" Sam said laughing
"Hmmm…. Let's see…" Sam began "never have I ever had a crush on a blond"
Piper, Percy, Jason, and Nico's glasses filled up, was I Nico's blond? It could have been Jason, but I don't really want to think about that the Percy crush was one thing I mean he was little and let's face it Percy Jackson's hot but he can't have feelings for both of his best guy friends. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this it was probably someone from a long time ago or a celebrity crush or something.
"You've never had a crush on a blond?" Annabeth asked Sam
"Eh not my type" she replied shrugging
"Ouch" Jason said
"See how it feels?" Percy said
Nico just rolled his eyes
"Now now girls you're both pretty" Sam said to Jason and Percy
"But not make-out-with-me pretty" Jason said
"Don't get ahead of yourself Sparky, besides you have piper for that" Sam said winking at piper.
"Back to the game" piper said slightly pink "never have I ever been kissed by an Apollo kid"
Nico and Sam's glasses filled up I smirked knowing that was my doing… Err…Nico not Sam.
"Ooooh Nico do tell" Percy said smirking at will
"Shut up" Nico said downing his drink
"It was just on the cheek but it was very cute" piper said winking at me
Well guess I wasn't very discrete and neither is the blush lighting up my face.
"My turn" Jason said in a sing-song voice "Never have I ever had a crush on a Hades kid"
My glass filled up right to the top. So much for subtlety. I thought as I knocked back the drink. Feeling a bit light headed.
Nico smiled at me, not a smirk or a grin just a regular smile. How did I never notice how sexy that smile was before. I guess he didn't smile to often? But it's good I'm sitting down now because I swear that smile would make me weak in the knees.
"Quit staring Romeo and… Romeo?" Jason said uncertainly
"It's still Romeo and Juliet you idiot" piper said punching his shoulder affectionately
"I don't get that like I'd prefer neither of us die painfully, or is that just me?" Nico asked
"The point is you're in love!" piper said dreamily apparently Sam wasn't the only one who's parentage shows when their tipsy.
"Okay my turn?" Percy asked. Annabeth nodded in confirmation. "cool, never have I ever gone to camp half-blood"
Everyone's glasses filled up
"You're in camp half-blood, that's not how it works seaweed brain! You have to actually never have done it"
"I know I just wanted everyone to take a shot, and since their all poured now…." Percy said smirking
Everyone sighed and did the shot.
"Wait what was that?" Piper said
"Crap what time is it?" Annabeth asked
"9:58 so those would be the cleaning harpies" Sam answered
"Meaning we have exactly 2 minutes to get to our cabins" Jason finished
"Sprint with me?" Annabeth asked Sam
"What are sisters for if not to sprint home drunk to avoid a painful death with you?" Sam responded grinning.
Annabeth laughed and kissed Percy "bye babe, oh and same time next week?"
"Yeah but at Percy's cabin" Nico said
"'kay, bye guys!" Annabeth and Sam said before clumsily running toward the Athena cabin
"Want me to walk you back pipes?" Jason asked
"Nah you'll get caught"
"Jackson, would you like me to walk you back?"
"Oh what a gentlemen" Percy replied
Piper rolled her eyes and kissed Jason with enough passion to make everyone watching uncomfortable.
"Bye Sparky" she said teasingly as she ran off to cabin ten, only three cabins down.
"Shall we?" Percy said offering Jason his arm.
"We shale" Jason said slipping his arm through Percy's and skipping off towards cabins 1 and 3.
I raised an eyebrow at Nico.
"I'd like to say it's because their sloshed" he responded
I just laughed "g'night death boy" I said stepping out onto the porch
"Will wait" Nico said and just as I turned around he threw his arms around my neck and kissed me, It was feather light and only lasted a second but it was enough to make my head spin, I swear I was hearing bells, three chimes, wait a minute that marks the release of the patrol harpies.
"You better run" Nico said smirking and blushing bright red.
"To be continued?" I asked
"Sure"
I think sure is the best word I have ever heard in my entire life, but the romantic moment was ruined by those inbred do-do birds screeching things like "demigod out of bed!" and "food for the hungry harpies." I swear I heard nice laugh as I ran unsteadily back to my cabin scared for my life. You sure know how to pick 'em solace.
But in all honesty Nico was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing about him, he was my Romeo and I was gunna make damn sure neither of us die painfully in the end of this play just because of some stupid miss-understanding.
So how was it? I know I said this would be the last chapter but I kinda like what I have going here, the solangelo and Sam and all. I don't know. Leave a review if you wasn't another chapter, I might do next game night or Nico teaching will sword play or something. Also I know I'm not an amazing writer but I'm off for the summer so I have quite a bit of free time, so if you have requests for anything pjo,hoo, or hp lave a review on one of my stories of pm me or something and I'll make it happen.
'Til next time,
