Nico took a deep breath.
He was about to clear the air with Percy. His long-time crush. Although he was shaking, he reminded himself to play it cool, being the Prince of Death, after all.
Nico walked to where Annabeth and Percy were standing.
"Hey." He greeted.
"Oh, hey, Nico!" The son of Poseidon greeted back with a grin.
Nico studied his face – his sea green eyes, his grin, his ruffled black hair. Somehow, Percy Jackson seemed like a regular guy now, not some Mythical figure. Not someone to idolize or crush on.
But then again, maybe he thought that because he had Will now. He would never admit that, though.
"So," Nico said, "Since we're going to be spending at least a year seeing each other at camp, I think I should clear the air."
"Wait, wait," Percy interrupted. "Since you'll be clearing the air or something, will the others know too? Or is it just me and Annabeth?"
Nico gulped – he had initially planned to only tell Percy and Annabeth, since Jason already knew. He didn't really want it to spread… but, it would only be fair if the rest of his friends knew as well.
"Fine, you can call the others." He finally said.
Percy grinned at that. "Great! Yo, Jason, Hazel, everyone! Nico has something to tell us." He shouted to the others.
In a few minutes, all of them had arrived, surrounding Nico like a circle.
Nico was visibly sweating now. Why the circle? That was a bit… unnecessary.
"What did you have to say, Nico?" Percy asked.
The raven haired boy took a deep breath. "For a long time," Nico said, "I had a crush on you, Percy. I just wanted you to know."
Percy looked at Nico, then looked at Annabeth as if to check if he heard correctly. The others were all wide-eyed, except for Jason, who was softly gazing at him, proud.
"You –" Percy started, but Nico cut him off.
"Yeah," Nico said, "You're a great person, but I'm over that. I'm happy for you guys."
"You… so you mean – "
"Right."
Annabeth's gray eyes started to sparkle, and she gave Nico a sideways smile.
"Wait," Percy said, still confused, "So you mean – "
"Yes, he does, Percy." Jason's voice spoke up.
"It's cool. We're cool. I see you now… you're cute, but you're not my type." Nico added. Piper and Hazel looked like they were mentally screaming, Percy was bewildered and confused, Frank and Jason were smiling widely at Nico, and Annabeth gave him a high-five.
"I'm his type!" A new voice called out to them.
Surprised, the seven friends turned around, to see a male figure running up to them, with sun-kissed hair, aquatic blue eyes that pierced the sky, and freckles splattered across his face like the stars in the night, a bright smile lit up on his face as he waved to the group.
Why does Will have to look like that? And at this time? Nico cursed in ancient Greek. His boyfriend was too cute for him.
He ran up to Nico and bent down, his face inches away from Nico's. Nico quietly observed his face. Everything about it was perfect. Too perfect. If he compared Percy to Will… the difference would be phenomenal. The rich blond hair to replace the abyss green that Percy had. The aqua eyes that replaced Percy's greenish-blue. His freckles that danced around in the sunlight whenever he smiled. He was just… ugh.
"Ugh," as in "Why are you so perfect."
In turn, Will did the same. He looked at Nico's ebony hair, hair that contradicted his. His tired eyes, dark as the night, with the little twinkle that resembled the faint glow of the moon. His nose, cute as a button. His pale skin, quite the opposite of his tan skin. He didn't know what made him so attracted to Nico… it was probably everything about him. Head to toe, and every emotion held within him.
"Will, what are you – " He started,
"You said Percy isn't your type, right?" He said.
"Yeah, I did, but you – "
"So, then," Will smiled, "Am I your type?"
The rest of the six gaped at the scene that was unraveling before them.
Will Solace… and Nico Di Angelo?
"Will, this isn't a time for…" A flustered and annoyed Son of Hades trailed off. He was about to turn away, when Will leaned closer into his face.
"Time for what?" He asked, an even wider grin spreading.
"F-for this! For whatever you're doing!"
"Then answer my question!" He teased, "Am I your type?" Irritated and embarrassed by the sight of Will being so close to his face, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Of course you are, idiot!" He exclaimed, "You're my boyfriend, aren't you!?"
He immediately covered his mouth with his hand. He didn't mean to say it so loudly!
Fuck you, Will Solace! He mentally fumed.
Will, who was satisfied with how flustered he had made Nico in front of his friends, smiled and walked away as if nothing happened.
"What the – Will fucking Solace! Come back here you little – " The son of Hades chased after him, and left a confused group of friends behind him.
"Woah…" Percy said. "So wait… does that mean – "
"Yes, Percy," Jason sighed happily, "It does."
"Now stop being stupid, Seaweed brain, and accept it." Annabeth piped up.
"Woah, I didn't say I don't support – " Percy tried to object.
"Shh! They're having a moment!" Piper squealed, as she watched Will giving Nico a big hug, the son of Hades' face as red as a tomato.
"They're cute together, aren't they?" Hazel told the others.
"Yeah, they sure are." Jason agreed with a smile.
(A/N: Man, this was one of my first OTP's! Solangelo FTW! I have a ton of ideas for the next few oneshots, but if you have any ideas you would like me to write about, be free to tell me! Also, quick note! Some of these lines were taken from the actual book. Before you say that's plagiarism, let me explain.
I wanted to let the scene stay the same as the book, except with a Solangelo turn. It's basically all the same, except that I added some stuff, and of course, Solangelo, because that's the ship here. Not too many lines were taken from the book. Only the description of Percy in the beginning, and some of the dialogue.The rest is mine.)
