Just a Solangelo drabble that I couldn't resist. It comes from the very end of The Hidden Oracle, when Will says that he and Nico got a campfire going and they walk off to do sing-a-longs. Spoilers for last chapter of The Hidden Oracle.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Hidden Oracle. Only Rick does.

I hope you enjoy.

Nico struggled with the firewood in his arms. "Um… do you even know how to start the Campfire?"

Will scratched his head. "Uh… It's supposed to reflect the emotions of the campers, but…" He gestured to the smoldering ashes and embers. It was only strong enough to illuminate their feet with a soft orange glow.

Nico put the wood down in the hearth. "Well, there are plenty of emotions running tonight. The dining pavilion got destroyed, your dad got turned mortal, Leo came back with Calypso and they weren't at each other's throats… Not to mention that I got a good swing at him earlier." He still wasn't completely satisfied with the Son of Hephaestus' punishment, but he knew that the second Hazel caught sight of him- man, he would pay good money to see that. "You would think there would at least be some flames."

"Maybe, since it's just the two of us in here, the feeling isn't as powerful as it would be." Will scanned the dark amphitheater. "Maybe we need to try something else."

"I don't know what else we would try. I mean, if you have any ideas, then…" He looked up and met Will's eyes. He could tell exactly what he was thinking. "Oh, Will, no. I mean yes, technically that could work, but let's think about this for a minute." The embers started glowing brighter.

"Oh, be quiet. It's not like you completely disagree with me so…" He was an inch away from Nico. "Think happy thoughts." He leaned forward and kissed him.

The first time Will kissed him, Nico didn't think anything on Earth could be more wonderful. But every time he'd done it since then, Nico got more and more butterflies in his stomach. The Campfire shot up in flames, and it only lit up more as Nico kissed him back.

Will pulled away smiling. "Well, that worked."

"Oh, shut up, Solace."

Will laughed. "Na, seriously, I should get the others. You got the marshmallows covered?"

Nico summed up some femur bones out of the ground. He grabbed marshmallows out of the bag and stuck them on the ends. "Go get your crazy father," he told Will.

The Son of Apollo walked toward the other campfire that was lit on the central green, where picnic blankets were spread out on the ground. Nico smiled to himself. Trouble was stirring, and it sure wasn't easy being a demigod, but it was small moments like that that made his life worth living.

I hope you liked it!
