Bad Boy {Solangelo}

Love, Percy

It was 10 a.m. the next day. Percy had taken a break from his sword lessons and was hovering around the Hades Cabin. He was planning to slide a piece of paper into the cabin from the window with the writing:

Dear Nico,

I had a terrible dream last night.

I think I should tell it to you.

If you trust me, come to the Canoe Lake at 11:00 p.m.

P.S. please forgive me.

Love,

Percy

For a second while writing the note, he was unsure if he should sign it with 'Love'. After all, even if Percy liked Nico, it was merely one-sided, and Percy didn't like falling in the ditch alone.

Deciding otherwise, he finally wrote "Love, Percy".

Now, as Percy carefully slipped the paper inside the Hades Cabin stealthily from under the door, he prayed to the Gods to not get caught. Slowly, he went off to his cabin and then off to sword practice. He knew, maybe, Nico wouldn't even open the letter. Or maybe he would open it, but won't read it. Or, maybe, he would open it, read it, but won't come to the Lake. After all, Percy was aware he deserved it.

Nico came back to his cabin after practicing archery, which he was very bad at, and Will was very good at. And there, for a moment, Nico wondered if Will was Apollo's son. Wouldn't it be perfect? Nico thought with a small smile. A son of darkness falling for a son of the sun. Cliche. 

Whenever Will did archery, he looked so focused, so intent. Like a little boy who was trying to possibly build a tall lego tower. Okay, maybe that was a bad example, but you got what I meant, right? Anyway, when Nico saw at Will with that bow and arrow, he felt that it suited Will. The sharp arrow matched Will's sharp features. And then Will's eyes would gleamed with content when the arrow hit its target, and Nico would feel his breath hitch and heart race at an obnoxious speed. Will's sun-kissed face would shine with sweat, making him look like a god.

Reminiscing that day's archery session and Will's perfect body that would flex every time he took his target and released the arrow, Nico opened the Cabin door and the first thing he did was plop on his bed head first.

Nico turned to sleep on his back and let out a long sigh. He placed his black sword on the night stand and started to strip down to take a shower. He had just taken off his shirt when he noticed the piece of paper on the floor near the Cabin Door.

He went there and took it. His breath hitched when he found out who it was from. His heart raced and he suddenly felt jittery. The only thing Nico had to see to throw it away was 'Love, Percy'. He crumpled it and tossed it into the dustbin.

Nico went inside the shower and let the hot water sip into his skin. Although it was somewhere calming, there was still a part that hurt, mostly from remembering that night in the strawberry fields. He was curious, of what was in the note, but could he really just simply take it like that? Obviously, he couldn't. Would Will feel bad if I did it? Nico thought.

Nico looked at himself in the mirror. Pale, white skin. Messy black hair. Chocolate irises. A scrawny body and thin arms.

What is it that makes Will love me? Nico thought. I'm good for nothing.

He couldn't stand looking at himself. Biting on his lip, he came out of the shower with a wet towel wrapped around his waist.

Tentatively, Nico bent over and took the crinkled paper from the dustbin. He read it, over and over. Even if it was in the past, Nico felt tears stream down from his eyes. He wiped them away with the back of his hand and took deep breaths. Do I want to go to the lake? he thought to himself. What if I don't go? Would Percy hurt? Would he look down on me?

Deciding against it, Nico just fell on the bed again and stared at the ceiling until he felt himself drift off to sleep.

Will had just came back from climbing the fire wall with the satyrs and he was more than excited to meet Nico. Even though his hips pained from the previous night, he was okay with it. It was just a more real reason that he was Nico's and, well, Nico was his.

Will entered the Hades Cabin and found Nico in his towel sprawled on the bed. His hair were a mess, and his towel seemed like it was about to fall off him. Will smiled.

He sat on the side of the bed and watched Nico take steady breaths. He had to admit, Nico looked like a big baby when he slept. Will twirled a piece of Nico's soft, black hair. He loved Nico. 

Tenderly, as if holding a baby, Will kissed Nico's forehead, then his eyelids, his nose tip, his cheek and finally the nip of Nico's neck. Will took Nico's hand in his and gently kissed Nico's fingertips. he kissed the palm of Nico's hand too, and then each finger. Wrapping his hand around Nico's, he kissed it again.

Will lay down next to Nico and buried his head in Nico's hair. Will couldn't get enough of him. The smell, the soft hair, everything. He wanted to breath every bit of Nico, wanted to kiss every inch of him. Will breathed him in, the smell of shampoo and Nico himself mixing to form an intoxicating scent.

Will whispered, "I love you"

"Mmm... I love you too" he heard.

Will Solace was the happiest boy alive.
