(Discontinued) The Light At The End of The Tunnel - Solangelo (Percy Jackson)

Part 6

Nico POV

I had a dreamless sleep when I went back to sleep. I woke up at about 10 in the morning. 

Oh no... I just humiliated myself in front of Will.

I groaned, he probably thought I was stupid, then I just cried all over him. But, he was so comforting and warm. I sighed and sat up. I saw Will, he was treating his other patients. I sighed. After a little Will looked at me and smiled. He went over to me and sat down on my bed.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked.

I looked away and nodded.

"What's wrong?" Will asked.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" I asked quietly.

Will frowned and hugged me. "Of course not, it's okay to want a hug sometimes."

I sighed and hugged him back. "Good..."

Will released me and looked around. "Hey, do you want to go on a walk with me?" Will asked quietly.

I couldn't help but smile at the invention. "Sure, I'd love to."

Will smiled and pulled me out of bed. "I need to grab something from my cabin first." Will said, "come with me."

I nodded and followed him. We went into the Apollo cabin. Will went to his bed and grabbed a new shirt. I looked at him curiously. Then he took his shirt off. He had a lean, tan, fit build, and just looked amazing. I saw a small sun tattoo on the left side of his chest, I didn't expect him to be the type to have a tattoo so it threw me off guard. I felt my face heat up, I couldn't help but stare a little. Will looked at me and I looked away.

How can a guy that does nothing but treat wounds has such a great body! 

Will put his hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay Nico?" Will asked, the idiot still didn't have his shirt on.

I nodded and Will shrugged and put his shirt on. "L-lets get going," I muttered.

Will smiled and we went out of the Apollo cabin. We walked across the camp and headed to the entrance. "Where do you want to go?"

I shrugged. "I don't care."

"You wanna walk up Zaphyros Crook?" Will asked as we walked.

I nodded and we went out of camp and headed for Zaphyros Crook. It felt good to get out of the infirmary. Also, it was nice to have some alone time with Will. Every time I think about him I get skeletal butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why,  but he makes me happy, that hasn't happened in a long time. It feels good to laugh again.

I glanced at Will, he was already looking at me. I looked away and felt my face heat up. We walked along the crook. I looked at Will, I couldn't help but admire his features, his bright blue eyes, sun-kissed hair, his fit body. I couldn't help but have a crush on him. I tried not to get a crush on him, but I couldn't ignore the fact. I sighed and stuffed my hands into my pockets. Will looked at me with concern.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Uh, y-yeah.."

"Okay, if you say so," Will shrugged.

After a while Will sat down in the grass, I sat down next to him.  "Why do you always were a jacket?" Will asked.

I looked at Will and sighed. "Well, there's a lot of reasons, it doesn't matter."

"I have time, plus, I want to get to know you."

I sighed and faced Will. "Don't laugh if it's weird or something," I asked.

Will took my hand, I saw that he was blushing slightly. "Nico, whatever it is it'll be a good reason.''

I blushed as I looked down and bit my lip. "Well, I'm usually cold, except when I'm around you..." I avoided eye contact with Will.

Will lifted my chin up so he could look at me, I felt my face get hot as he did this, but I didn't pull away. "Eye contact is good for communication," Will said as he pulled his hand away and blushed.

I smiled and nodded.

What a dork.

"I also wear my jacket to hide my scars from fights, and things like that," I mumbled.

Maybe a bit more than battle scars...

"I understand that," Will nodded.

I sighed and looked at the water, my stomach churned. The water always made me think about Percy. I shook my head and looked at Will. Will smiled at me. I smiled at him. I laid down on the grass and sighed. Moments later Will joined me. I turned onto my side to face him. He smiled at me.

How is that guy always smiling?

"Are you hot?" Will asked.

"Wha?" I gave him a confused look.

"I mean, of course, you are, I mean isn't the jacket making you hot?" Will blushed.

I chuckled and blushed a little, I looked away.

Was that a sign or is he just jumbling his words up again?

No, he would never like a pathetic excuse like you!

I sighed. "No, as I said, I'm usually cold," I shrugged.

Will nodded and sighed. "Okay."

We laid in the sun for a go 30 minutes. After a while, I felt my eyelids get heavy. I looked at Will, his eyes were already closed. I sighed and closed my eyes. I felt my body move closer to Will, but I was too tired to care. I dozed off a little while later.

* * *

I woke up, the sun was setting. I looked up to see Will. He smiled at me. My head was on his leg, and he was playing with my hair, but I didn't care. Will took his hand away as I sat up.

"Sorry," Will looked away.

I smiled at him. "It's fine, really."

Will sighed and nodded. I sighed and stretched a little. Will got up and stretched a little. He offered his hand for me I took it and got up. We started down the trail back to camp.

"Sorry that I fell asleep," I muttered.

"Oh, it's fine, I don't mind at all, it was nice."

I smiled a little. "Okay, I don't want to annoy you." I sighed.

Will stopped in front of me. "You won't annoy me, don't worry about that," Will smiled warmly at me.

I smiled as we walked. "Good."
