It had been a month since Nico spent those 3 days in the infirmary, and he was slowly growing closer and closer with Will Solace. After lovely picnic on the lake, Nico realized how he truly felt about Solace, and ran from himself, ran from his feelings. But no one can run forever. This is a chapter that I had pre-written from a Solangelo fanfiction that I'm writing, but I love it so much I wanted to release it early as a short story. Cover art is by @toastchild on tumblr! All characters belong to the wonderful Rick Riordan!
