Chapter 5

Will felt something warm beside him, and wrapped his arm around it tighter. He felt someone's hand on his face. He opened his eyes, and saw…

"Nico? You're a human!" Will exclaimed.

Nico opened his eyes, turned to Will, and said, "Meow."

Will hugged him tighter.

"Will-You're-Squeezing-Me-I-Can't-Breath!" Nico yelped.

"Sorry!" Will let go of Nico.

Will started to fall off the edge, due to how Nico was no longer a cat, and therefore had a larger mass. Nico grabbed onto Will, and kept him from falling. It was a 3-inch drop, but it was kind of Nico. Then, Nico did something Will never would have expected.

Nico leaned in, and his lips met Will's. Will was shocked at first, but then kissed back. He put one arm around Nico, and his other arm was on the floor, making sure he wouldn't fall. Nico and Will kissed for a solid minute, before they recognized clapping. Will broke the kiss, and looked around his cabin. His siblings were clapping from their bunks. Jason was their too, along with Drew. Drew and Jason high fived.

"Shut up and go back to sleep!" Nico told them.

"Yeah!" Will agreed.

Then Will focused on Nico.

"So, does this mean that we're… Together?" Will asked.

"Yes." Nico said, pulling Will into a kiss again.

That day, Nico sat at the Apollo table, like he had for the past few days. Will and Nico kissed every few minutes. When they went to activities, Nico always found a way to sneak around to get to Will.

Thanks for reading, guys! You are awesome! I'm going to go down with this ship. So Rick, you better not throw Nico into Tartarus again, and if Will dies, I will summon my brother, Nico, so we can destroy all copies of that book.
