So we all know that Will and Nico met in The Blood of Olympus. So I'm not going to rewrite that, but I am going to write what I think happened after that. This is from Nico's perspective. This one is is the prequal to the dating (when they ask each other out and the immediate proceeds). So next chapter will be that and much closer in time than the past chapters. (If I can remember to write them! Sorry for such a late update)
Hope you enjoy- Bug
"Hi Will!" I said, Will smiled at me, his smile felt brighter than the sun.
"Hi Nico."
We start to walk along the past, trying to avoid campers. A hard thing, the noise blocking most of my senses.
"Um, do you want to follow me somewhere?" I said, somewhat nervous.
His face was confused but he followed. I walked over to where the forest and the lake met and sat down. Will sat down to, looking puzzled as hell.
I took a deep breath, preparing to talk when Will cut me off. "Nico, I know I might have pushed it a bit when we first met, and you probably don't like me. But I still want to ask, do you like me?"
I could feel my face burning. I looked up at him, his eyes were earnest and his cheeks were slightly pink. I leaned back and groaned. "Fuck Solace." I murmured.
"Sorry, gods, this is the second time I messed up with you." He said putting his hands over his face. I sat there, unsure of what to do.
"Y-You didn't mess up." I squeak out, to which he took his hands down and looked at me. "I was going to ask you if you liked me." I whispered softly.
I glanced up at him, and saw his eyes widen and his face redden. "R-Really?" He said then practically leaped at me. Then quickly moved off, "Sorry, I didn't hurt you did I?"
He had in fact, hurt me. But it was numbed by joy so I shook my head no. He smiled and hugged me again. My ribs hurt slightly from the lunge and the weight of him, but I didn't complain. I just let him hug me, half-laying on my lap as I played with his hair.
We stayed there till sundown, having accidentally fallen asleep. When all of a sudden I feel a sharp pain in my back. I wake up and turn around to find the tree formally behind me now a girl.
"It was cute, for the first couple hours. But now can you guys fuck off? I have places to be, not just your little resting spot." She said, brushing off her dress.
I felt my face go red and I apologized profusely. I move Will off me, to which he groaned in protest before opening his eyes. His gaze darted between me and the dryad before he too began to apologize. The girl rolled her eyes and kicked me again, gesturing to get up.
I do, my back a little sore where she kicked (trees kicked hard. Even Mythomagic says so). I grab Will's wrist and help him up, stumbling back a little in the process.
He then proceeded to grab my hand and run. I struggled a little to keep up and heard the dryad girl muttering some choice words under her breath. Finally we make it back to camp, to get a couple 'Oooh~'s from Aphrodite cabin.
"What were you doing?" Drew said with a smirk.
"Oh screw you Drew, that's why you've been single since Piper came to camp." Will answered.
A gasp came from her siblings along with multiple new 'Ooh's. Her eyes narrowed and she glared at Will, "I'll have you know I'm just waiting for the man to show Piper."
Will rolled his eyes and we continued to camp.
