When Day Meets Night

The Others

Sorry for not updating for so long but I've been sick :(
Thank you for being so supportive, and here's the next chapter, so enjoy!!

Nico yawned and stretched. He tried to open his eyes, but the light coming through the window was too bright. He groaned and turned over. It must have been a dream. All of it must have been a dream. It had to be. Will... Will Solace of all people couldn't possibly like him.

"Good morning, sleepyhead."

Nico sat up. Will was standing at the doorway of the infirmary, the sunlight making his gorgeous blue eyes sparkle. So it hadn't been a dream?

Nico rubbed his eyes and slowly broke into a grin.

Will came over and sat next to him. "Umm... So apparently your friends want to talk to us... They sent a message saying that we're supposed to meet them at the canoe lake." Will turned slightly pink.

Nico laughed. "'K. Give me some time to freshen up and we'll go."

After Nico had freshened up and had grumpily (yet somewhat happily) allowed Will to force-feed him some cereal with chopped fruits as breakfast ("Shut up, Death Boy. You're still drained out from all that shadow-travelling you've done and you need a nutritional breakfast" ) the pair walked to the lake where the 7+ Reyna were waiting for them.

Percy looked kind of grumpy while Annabeth was patting his back and trying to pacify him. Jason, Piper, Hazel and Frank were quietly sitting on a rock, and Reyna was pacing up and down. As soon as she saw Nico, she rushed forward and nearly crushed him with a bear hug.

"Oww... Reyna!!" He squeaked. Jason and Piper jumped up, and pulled both Will and Nico into a hug. Jason was grinning from ear to ear, and Piper was squealing excitedly and kept talking about how happy she was for them and how they were just perfect for each other and WHY DID THEY RUN AWAY LAST NIGHT SHE'D WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THEM?!

Hazel hugged Nico and then Will while Frank patted them on their backs kind of awkwardly and smiled. Hazel looked at Nico. "Nico, wow. I had no idea that you were..."

"Gay? Yeah."

"Sorry, it'll take me some time to get used to. But I'm happy that you're happy!! And you two make a pretty cute pair!!"

Nico laughed.

Annabeth came over too and hugged them both- "I knew it! It was pretty obvious that you two liked each other, you know."

"Really?" Nico asked, his usually pale cheeks turning a bright red.

"Yup!" Annabeth laughed. She looked over at Percy. "Oh come on, Percy. Let it go, will you?"

Percy smiled crookedly, a smile Nico had once found endearing but now knew was nothing compared to Will's smize. He came over and high-fived Nico.

"Are you okay??" Nico asked Percy. "You seemed really happy last night but now..."

Percy turned pink. "Yeah... Umm... I've been doing some thinking... and umm... What makes him your type and not me??"

Nico didn't know what to say. Will looked amused.

"Percy!!" Annabeth looked pissed off.

"Okay, okay. Congrats guys. I'm happy for you. I really am."

Nico smiled as they all came forward and gave them a huge hug.

Reyna pulled him away and gave him an extra hug again. Nico pulled away laughing. "Reyna, stop! You know hugs aren't my thing!"

Reyna laughed too. "Oh, I'm just so happy for you, Nico!!! This is so exciting!!!"

Some Reynico in this chapter too! ;)
P.S.- Hazel, Frank and Reyna have flown in all the way from Camp Jupiter to congratulate Nico and Will!!
P.P.S.- If you didn't already know (I didn't :P ) smize is slang for smiling with your eyes.
