The Beginning Of Solangelo

I blinked the sleep out of my eyes, sitting up and looking around for the cause of my awakening. And there it was. Or rather, there he was.
Will Solace was standing in the middle of the Hades cabin. I looked out the window and saw that it was still dark out, oddly enough. Why was he here?
“Go away. It’s still night time,” I mumbled, burying myself deeper into the blankets.
“Nico, there are some people who want to see you,” Will said, in a singsong voice. This caught my attention. Who would want to see me? Especially in the middle of the night?
“Who is it?”
“Come see for yourself,” Will replied, yanking the blanket off my body. He let out a small laugh. “You really like that sweatshirt, huh?” I became suddenly aware and self-conscious of the fact that I was still wearing Will’s yellow sweatshirt. I grumbled and climbed out of bed. “And put on some pants, Death Boy. I don’t think the visitors would appreciate you walking out in skull-print boxers. Although, I wouldn’t mind,” he said with a wink.
I felt my face go hot. “Shut up, Solace.” I threw on a new pair of black jeans and ran my fingers through my hair, attempting to untangle it.
“C’mon, Death Boy,” Will said, grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door after giving me a quick kiss on the forehead, effectively making me to blush.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I knew instantly who the visitors were. A sea of purple, barely visible, was painted across the green at the base of Half-Blood Hill, and while I couldn’t make out any faces, I knew that the Romans, including Hazel, Frank, and Reyna, were down there. I ran down to them; my hand still in Will’s grip, pulling him along behind me.
Once there, I quickly located Reyna and Frank, standing in front of the crowd, giving orders. I knew that Hazel wouldn’t be far from her boyfriend, and I was right. I spotted her on the side of the group, a couple paces away from Frank. She saw me running and gave me a wave, her face lighting up with a smile.
“Nico,” she shrieked, calling all eyes to her attention. She ran forward, arms outstretched towards me. I let go of Will’s hand and took a couple steps forward, meeting her for a huge hug. Not far behind her were Frank and Reyna, who were quickly walking over. The two of them also joined in on the hug, resulting in me being crushed by the three of them. An involuntary grin crept onto my face.
“Why are you all here?” I asked after I was released from their strong grip. Will walked up next to me and grabbed my hand, making me squirm and blush.
“We came to have a party!” Hazel said, a grin still plastered on her face.
“Uhh… Does Chiron know you came?” I asked, looking at Reyna. She shook her head before explaining.
“No, we wanted it to be a surprise. But, we didn’t think we would end up here in the middle of the night, though,” Reyna replied through a smile.
“I can go tell Chiron you’re here,” Will offered, already walking up the hill and towards the Big House. I watched as he left.
“Is that the Will Solace character Annabeth and Piper told me about?” Reyna asked, raising an eyebrow questioningly.
“They told you what, now?” I asked, my fists unwillingly clenching and my face going red.
“Oh, they just told us that you were dating a cute son of Apollo by the name of Will Solace,” Hazel said giddily. I groaned, covering my face with my hands.
“And he’s a healer, too, right?” Frank said.
“And you guys kissed after sword fighting,” Reyna said.
“And they told me that that’s his sweatshirt you’re wearing,” Hazel said, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
“Is there anything that they didn’t tell you?” I murmured, shoving my hands in the large pocket of my, no, Will’s, sweatshirt.
“Actually, now that I think about it, they never told me if Will has sung to you yet. You know, since he’s the son of the god of music,” Reyna said, placing a hand on her chin in contemplation.
“He is a terrible singer. Will couldn’t sing to save his life,” I replied matter-of-factly.
“Now that hurts, Death Boy. I am an amazing singer and you know it,” Will said from over my shoulder. I hadn’t realized that he had walked up behind me. Will wrapped his arms around my chest and rested his chin on the top of my head. I tried to escape, but my attempt was futile in Will’s strong grip. Reyna, Hazel, and Frank gave me huge grins. “Where are my manners? I’m Will Solace,” he said, holding out a hand to Reyna.
“We know,” Reyna and Hazel said at the same time. They enveloped Will and me in a hug with Frank followed close behind.
“I feel so loved,” Will whispered in my ear, brushing his lips against it as he spoke.
“You are,” I whispered back, unsure of whether or not he could hear me. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Reyna, Hazel, and Frank all let go of me, leaving Will standing behind me with his arms around my waist and his head nuzzled in the crook of my neck.He looked up, noticing my red face and quickly retracted his body.
“Right, not in public,” he said to me in a whisper. I thought that it was nice of Will to respect my boundaries. Sheepishly, he turned his attention to Reyna, Frank, and Hazel. “Well, did you guys bring tents to sleep in or…?” Will asked. Reyna nodded and gestured towards the group of cars that were sitting on the road. I could barely make out the small group of Romans that were unloading things from the back of a couple of them.
“Well, I guess we will see you at breakfast,” Reyna said, waving and drawing my attention towards Chiron, who was trotting down the hill. “I do not wish to keep you up any longer.” Will grabbed my hand, pulling me all the way towards the Hades cabin. I pretended not to hear Hazel say, “I think they’re cute together,” as we were leaving.

"What time is it?” I ask, yawning. Will flops down on my bed and looks at his watch.
“3:00,” he says, yawning himself.
“How did you know that the Romans were here?” I asked, sitting down on my bed next to Will.
“I was in the infirmary. A couple campers got hurt really bad and I offered to stay,” Will said as he drifted off to sleep on my bed. I trudged over to where Hazel usually slept when she was visiting and fell back to sleep.

I awoke to something warm pressed against my mouth. My eyes snapped open and I tried to reach for my sword that was sitting on the night stand. The warmth left my lips and I was staring into blue eyes. Will’s blue eyes. I smiled as he leaned down to kiss me again. If that was how I was going to be woken up from now on, I could definitely get used to it.
