Hey! I'd do another challenge, but I'm too lazy for that, so... Yeah. Enjoy!...
Will's phone vibrated in his pocket a couple of times. He knew it'd be rude to check his phone while his "Date" was sitting across from him, but he also really wanted to see how Nico reacted to Chris. It'd been about a half-hour since he had last texted Nico. He couldn't wait any longer.
"Would you excuse me, Chris?" Will said, trying not to look guilty, he'd never really been good at lying. "I need to use the restroom."
"Yeah, of course," Chris said simply. Yes! I can lie! Will thought to himself, then felt guilty for thinking that…
"Thanks!" He said, leaving his steak to walk off to the bathroom with "Lads" written on the sign. He went into a stall before checking his texts.
The Aphrodite kids locked me in their cabin, and I have to say, I'm impressed… I guess we both got make-overs! (Although mine is better ;D)
Attached with the message was a picture of Nico, just his face, must've been a selfie. Wow. Was the first thought to cross Will's mind. He's even hotter now, with his punk hair, slightly Goth make-up and smile-handsome as ever! I don't even compare to that… How could I? He's going to end up dating some other guy while I'm gone! No, he wouldn-
Wills thoughts were cut off by the sound of a toilet flushing, "Right! I still need to get back to my date!" He said before writing a quick text without thinking.
You look hot! TWYL! Gotta get back to my date, bye!
Wait, did he just call Nico hot? He's going to see that and get the wrong idea! Or is it the right idea? He decided to get back to his date, and let the consequences fall how they may (While secretly praying to Hermes and Iris that the message wouldn't send.).
Will and Chris had both finished eating and Chris insisted on paying. "I know this was probably kinda awkward for you, but thanks for the wonderful time… It's always great knowing how to properly clean wounds." Chris said, giving Will's shoulder a slight bump. "Maybe we could stay in touch?" There was a painfully awkward silence, "As friends of course!"
"Uh… Sure? Gim'me your phone, I'll put my number in for you. They exchanged information, and parted ways. Now Will could finally go to sleep.
Will walked into his promised suite, wandered for a while (That place was huge!), and finally found the bedroom. He plopped himself down on his king sized bed, and went out like a light. He was sleeping well. Then he had a nightmare he knew wouldn't come true, but it bothered him anyways.
Nico was seen in the Poseidon cabin, roughly kissing Percy. Will knew Nico was over Percy, but still… He had lots of different, random visons of guys he'd seen eying Nico around camp. It was kissing, flirting, dating or "other"...
Surprisingly, though, Will woke up laughing. The last dream he'd had had been Nico and Leo making-out in a flowery meadow! He'd woken when Leo said, "I love you." Sarcastically, and his pants caught on fire. It was quite the image…
After all of that, Will slept well the rest of the night.
Hey! Sorry this chapter's so short! I promise more in the next Will POV! And the next Nico too! I'm just not the best at writing about dates given I've never been on one… Again, Apollo-gies (Get it?) for the short chapter! Also if you have any chapter ideas, I sure would appreciate it! Or even just side things you think would be funny.
