[huiyi07]

Did anyone else like solangelo more when it was just Rick writing them or

[solangelover]

Could you do Solangelo cuddling (Fluff), but one of them has really weird mid-night thoughts?

A/N: This has been done forever ago, idk why I didn’t post it, my bad (^_^; )

Read on AO3 or FF.Net

“Ugh, I’m tired.”

“That’s why we’re going to sleep, Ghosty.”

Nico hummed noncommittally as he flopped down onto his bed. It was late, nearly midnight, and he was more than ready to be dead to the world. They had had a busy day of classes, training (for Nico), working (for Will), and dealing with the general chaos that came with living at Camp Half-Blood.

Will’s siblings let the head counselor sneak off to the Hades cabin for the night. While they all teased their older brother about having a “fun night,” they all really just wanted him to get a good night’s sleep, and cuddling with his boyfriend almost always did the trick.

After doing the minimal to get ready for bed, the boys hit the lights and shuffled beneath the covers. Immediately, their hands found each other, and they tangled their limbs together. It was easy, a comfortable routine they developed over the course of their relationship. They were hardly cuddly in public, so their private time together had to make up for that. And it was really just that—cuddling and sleeping together—and nothing more.

“Good night, Neeks.”

“Good night, Sunshine.”

Will shifted onto his back, giving Nico the space to move even closer so that his head rested on the blonde’s chest.

It was nice and cozy. Perfect for sleeping.

And yet.

Will laid there for a solid fifteen minutes, not thinking anything in particular as he stared off into the darkness. He tried not to shift restlessly so as not to disturb his boyfriend, but that just made him stiff and less than comfortable.

He tried to focus on Nico’s breathing for the next fifteen minutes. The boy’s breaths had evened out, but Will had a feeling that he wasn’t quite asleep yet either.

Why couldn’t he sleep? Was something bothering him? Normally, he’d have his to do list for the next day on his mind. When that kept him up, he simply got up, wrote it down, then climbed back in bed and was out like a light. But that’s not what was happening now. He squared away his to do list earlier, on a small note that sat on his desk in the infirmary.

What was on the list? Maybe if Will recounted it to himself, he’d fall asleep out of boredom.

Cut bandages. Well, that was a daily task, but sometimes it was nice just to check it off at the end of the day.

Check inventory. A weekly task, but sometimes Will would compulsively check it, just in case, or when there was nothing else to do.

Practice nutrition plans. Since the son of Apollo hoped to be a real doctor someday, he’d been exploring different medical fields to see how he liked them. He was currently exploring the nutritionist route, which could help as a family physician or pediatrician anyway. He would ask the Demeter kids about different vegetables, herbs, grains, all that stuff, and practice writing up specific diets for hypothetical needs. It was kind of interesting so far, but not Will’s favorite.

I wonder what kind of plan a child of Hypnos might need. If you consider the narcolepsy, possible lack of sunlight, there’s bound to be some nutritional deficiency going on, he thought to himself. Hmm, deficiency. De-fi-shi-en-see. That’s how you spell it, right? D-E-F-I—she-en-see—C-I-E—defishy—um where was I? Okay, wait, D-E—honestly, who spelled this word this way? It’s confusing. Why is C-I-E pronounced “she”? What—

“Will,” a stern voice pulled Will from his musings. He turned his head down to see his boyfriend squinting up at him in the dark, his eyes having adjusted long ago. “You’re thinking too loud. You’re practically yelling.”

“Wha—that doesn’t even make sense,” Will responded, his voice sounding loud in the quiet of the cabin.

“It does. It’s loud. You’re loud.” Nico shifted so he was more even with Will and could look him in the eyes properly. “What are you thinking about that’s making your head wrinkle?” He poked Will directly in the forehead to punctuate his point.

Will swatted his hand away. Nico kept looking at him and he sighed. Whatever. “Why are words words?” He looked back up at the ceiling, confusion clear on his face.

Not hearing an immediate response, he turned to see his boyfriend staring at him, his expression a mix of perplexity, incredulity, and amusement. The son of Hades simply raised an eyebrow, apparently not planning on giving Will the answer he so desperately needed.

So, he continued. “You know, like, words. Why are they what they are? Why is the word ‘word’ a word? Why is it spelled like it is? And why does it mean word? Actually, how do you even define ‘word’?” He tapped his chin in thought, once again staring at the ceiling. He saw Nico glance up at the ceiling out of the corner of his eye, probably mocking Will. But the son of Apollo was too preoccupied to comment.

“A word is a word,” Nico replied, like it was that easy.

“You can’t use the word being defined in the definition,” he rolled his eyes, like Nico should’ve obviously thought about this before and know that that’s not an acceptable answer.

Will took a breath to begin another senseless rant about language when his boyfriend cut him off. “Words are words, letters are letters, languages are way they are because people decided that’s how they wanted to communicate. Nothing more to it. Please sleep.” His deadpan words were probably meant to be patronizing or flippant in some way, but Will actually felt like that answered his wonderings quite well.

“Huh,” Will said, mostly to himself. He paused as the words processed in his brain. “That makes sense.”

“Oh my gods,” is all Nico said before he rolled over, his back to Will. “Go to sleep, idiota.”

Will beamed, throwing his arms around the dark-haired boy to hug him from behind. “I’m so lucky my boyfriend is a genius.”

“You’re dumb, now sleep.”

“Okayyy,” Will drew out. But now that his mind was satisfied, he remembered that he had an exhausting day and that he really really wanted to sleep.

He settled in further before whispering a “good night” to the air, the boy next to him already breathing deeply.

Solangelo: First Day of Camp

This is my first Tumblr post, and it’s the first part of a little series I’ve been writing about the adventures of Nico and Will after Blood of Olympus and into Trails of Apollo. The first chapter is mostly fluff with almost everyone in the Heros of Olympus series. I promise lots of Solangelo to come.

Yes I know about the spelling mistakes. I wrote this on my phone since I’m currently doing field work, and my laptop doesn’t have Internet.

Warning contains fluff of Percabeth, Jasper and Frazel.

First Day of Camp

Nico walked into his cabin and slid down the closed door. He titled is head back and smirked. Today had been the one of the best days of his demigod life.

It was his first day out of the infirmary. He has spent several days there under the watchful eye of Will Solace while he recouped from using too much underworld magic. He had almost faded into the shadows permanently. That morning Will gave him one last check and said he was good to go, and not to push the shadow traveling. “That means staying at camp for awhiel” Will smiled with a smug face. Nico attempted to smile back at Will. He hadn’t smiled in so long it felt unatural. The healing son of Apollo had been so nice to him the past 3 days.When Nico ate lunch or dinner Will would pull up a chair beside Nico’s bed and talk to him about pretty much everything. He wanted to try and show him he appreciated everything he had done.

His smile must have been pretty awkward looking, because it made the smug look fade off of Wills face and turned to pure amusement. Crinkles appeared around his blue eyes. His skin was tan, it made him look like he was glowing. He had lots of freckles across his nose.The bright blonde hair didn’t help with the glowing. Maybe all children of Apollo glowed. Nico caught himself staring and lowered his head. Will was very good looking, and sweet, and kind, and funny, and kinda annoying. Kinda like apollo now that Nico thought about it.

Stop thinking like that he thought to himself. Will was way out of his league.

“Thanks for everything Will” Nico said.

“No problem. It’s what I’m good at. Healing demigods. I guess my siblings got the lame gifts from my dad” he joked. Nico did his awkward smile again, “I’ll see you around”

“I’ll see you at the campfire tonight. Promise to save me a seat?”

“Sure. I’m not much for the campfire though. I don’t sing.”

“Don’t worry about that I’ll sing enough for both of us”. He gave a dazzling smile. Nico felt himself flush a little. “Anyway, see you” Nico said as he jumped off the bed, and hurriedly grabbed his sweater leaving the limfimary.

When he got outside he could see that the sun was almost all the way up. Campers were already beginning to head down to the dinning Pavillion. Nico followed suit.

For breakfast he had some eggs over easy, toast, chocolate milk, and some orange slices. Pretty much his perfect breakfast after McMuffins. He scanned the dinning Pavillion and then went to sit at the Hades table. When he sat down and was about to dip his toast in his eggs Jason came and sat across from him with Piper.

Nico smiled again. He liked Jason. The guy was pretty much the only friend he had at camp. Wow he was now up to 1 really close friends. He was gonna have to pace himself as to not get too popular. He smiled at his own joke. “Sword practice with me and Percy after lunch? If the big three cabins team up could be alot of fun.” Jason offered sounding excited.

“Sounds great. I’d really love to get back into practice” Nico said.

“Then if you want Nico the Aphrodite cabin is helping rebuild some cabins do you want to help?” Piper asked.

“Ya, sure I guess.” Nico didn’t know how he could help. He wasn’t that great of a decorator, especially compared to the aphrodite kids. Nor was he as good at architecture as the Athens kids.

Piper smiled. Nico felt himself smiling again this time he didn’t need to force it, it just happened.

Piper then went on telling Nico and Jason about her plans for making the new minor god cabins Jason had promised to build feel more homey.

After breakfast Nico followed Jason to the sword arena. Percy must have been there already there his bag was laying on the bench. They looked around and couldn’t see him. Mrs O'Leary was in her corner eating a large bowl of food. She looked up as they walked in and wagged her tail excitedly. Nico walked over and scratched her ear as she went back to devouring a truck load of kibble. “Huh, I wonder where Percy is? He can’t be far” Jason thought out loud.

Jason went to open the equipment storage room to grab some new dummies and quickly shut it again.

“What?” Nico asked.

He walked forward and opened the storage room door before Jason could stop him. Percy and an Annabeth where leaning against a hanging punching bag very much entangled. They where trying to hope away from each other but with no luck. Percy’s feet were tangled in a celestial bronze net that had fallen on the floor. Annabeth tried to push him off but all of Percy’s weight was against her. Eventually she managed to push him down sideways and quickly brushed her hair with her finger to fix it so it didn’t look so messy. She lowered her head and made a small cough. She quickly got out of the areana without even in ‘Hey, sup?’. Percy looked up from the floor at Nico and Jason. His face was really red but he smirked proudly. He stumbled up and kicked off the net.

“So it would be great if you didn’t tell Chiron about that”

Nico nodded with a smirk.

“Fine I won’t tell Chiron, but I kinda have to tell Piper. She’ll just love that” Jason chortled. “Whatever there Mr.Perfect. Maybe it would do you some good to break the rules once and awhile. I’m sure Piper would appreciate that.” Percy tried to chirp with a half irritated half amused voice.

“What happens between Piper and I is between Piper and I…. and probably her mom” he said.

He didn’t seem very thrilled about that last part. One if the downside of dating a daughter of the love God. “Annabeth tells Piper everything so she probably already knows” Percy said.

“Let’s save Percy some dignity and get to practicing.” Nick said with a smirk as well.

Sword practice left Nico feeling sore and extremely sweaty. On the bright side he had managed to beat the snot out of Percy after losing embarrassingly to Jason the first round. Percy seemed pretty tired. Nico wondered if it had anything to do with sneaking around early in the morning to snog Annabeth.

At lunch Nico sat with Frank and Hazel. The twelfth legion was leaving after lunch to head back to New Rome. Hazel and Frank were so cute with each other. Frank held her hand under the table hoping that Nico wouldn’t notice. When Nico turned around he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Frank would sneak kisses on her tempel. He was so happy Hazel had found the big gallout. He may look like a buff war commander, but he was rally just a giant cuddly teddy bear with her. It made him feel better about staying at Camp Half Blood. Frank would keep her safe. Not that she needed Frank. She was perfectly capable of cutting down anyone who angered her. But it was his sister and you just never get over the feeling of wanting to protect your siblings.

Nico patted Frank on the back and kissed Hazel on the cheeks and said his goodbyes. “Hopefully I’ll see you sooner than you think. I’ll stop by new Rome whenever I can shadow travel again.”

Nico then headed towards the cabins. There the Athena kids had set up a bunch of tables that had building instructions and plans laid out. Annabeth was talking the Piper about the plans. She pretended the closet incident hadn’t happened. But Piper gave Nico a smile and rolled her eyes.

“So Nico we were wondering if you wanted to help the Hermes kids rebuild the celeing on the Zeus cabin.maybe you can scare them into being prodictive” Nico nodded.

“I can do scary”

The Hermes kids were the most unorganized bunch of half bloods Nico has ever had to work with. Only a third of the cabin did any work at a time. Most of the time they were trying to prank each other by sneaking fake spider down backs, flinging paint at each other, and trying to steal things from unsuspecting passers-bys.

“I have a better idea. How about we make other peopel do the hard work” Nico said to Annabeth.

Connor Stool came over and said “Anything to make this go quicker. I don’t think I can keep getting paint thrown I my mouth”

Nico concentrated. He felt to see what was far below him. Hmmm some bones of a squirrel, farther down something that felt like a drakon, then BINGO. He raised about 8 ghostly skeletons. Where they came from he didn’t know. Sometimes he felt as if skeletons just showed up whenever he was looking for them.

“Do whatever Annabeth here says to fix the cabin” he ordered. He looked over at Annabeth.

“There all yours” Anabel smiled as if she was impressed. The aphrodite kids a d some of the Hermes kids looks scared yet interested. Annabeth started giving out orders.

Nico sat down against a tree and watched as his skeletons took over the build. Summoning those skeletons had made him very tired. Probably a repercussion from overusing his powers. His head swam slightly. Piper passed him down some water.

After the build was complete the skeletons crumbled back into the earth. One left a giant blue patch in the ground when he melted from the bucket of paint that the Julia Fiengold had ‘accidently’ dropped on it.

At dinner Nico grabbed a burger and some fries. He dropped half his fries in the fire saying a quick prayer to his dad. As he was walking back to his table a bunch of campers waved at him, and said hey. One guy from the Hepheastus cabin even fist bumped him. Nico felt awkward and uncomfortable again. He wasn’t use to people being so nice to him. Maybe coming back from a super dangerous quest made you instantly popular?

He ate quickly and then went back to his cabin. He quickly changed and showered. Then threw on a black wool sweater. The sun was setting and it was getting cold. He headed down to the campfire. A few people were already there. Nico looked around for Will but saw no blonde hair among the group. Then he quckly looked down at his feet. What was he doing getting all excited to see Will. He was being stupid. Jason and Piper came up behind him. Jason sat beside him and Piper sat down in the grass. She laid her head against Jason’s knee.

She started humming a song Nico didn’t know. It was kinda catchy yet sickening (like all campfire songs). Once she stared humming most of campers stopped taking and started listening. Although she didn’t mean it her charm speak often wove into her singing making everyone want to stop and listen. Jason stared playing with a piece of her hair.

“We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time” Jason chimed in out of tune. Piper smiled widely. The sun had gone down and her face shone beautifully in the fire light. Jason leaned down the kissed the top of her head and she began to sing too. “Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa- oh-oh” Soon others had joined in. An Apollo kids pulled out an acoustic guitar. How cliché Nico thought as he moved his head to the rythm. Never on beat tho.

Soon they were singing clasic campfire songs. The ones that were super annoying yet really fun to sing.

About two songs in Will Solace sneaked up behind Nico and plopped down beside him. There wasn’t much room and he ended up knocking some Ares kids backwards off the bench. The Ares kid looked pretty mad, but then they decided to get revenge later and went and sat with some pretty Aphrodite girl. Butterflies stated flapping in Nico’s stomach once Will sat down he was squished in so he was touching Nico. Nico was having trouble calming those stupid butterflies.

“You said you would save me a seat” Will teased.

“ I did. But I wasn’t going to tell that big Ares kid to go somewhere else”

“I’m just poking fun at you. No big deal. So has anyone started Bohemian Rhapsody yet?” he asked.

Nico didn’t know what that meant. “UMmm I don’t think so yet”

“Great” he smiled “It’s the only song I’m any good at. Don’t have the natural music talent like my brother”. He pointed to the guy with he guitar.

Will was right he wasnt a good singer. But he sang so enthusiastically it didn’t matter.

At one point during a song called 500 miles Will placed his arm around Nico’s shoulders. Not on top of his shoulder like Jason would do to annoy Nico. No w Will’s arm was around his shoulders. His hand was lightly holding his arm on the other side. Nico stiffened. He didn’t like being touched. Will kept holding him. At the corus everyone started bouncing up and down in their seats. Will took this time to pull Nico a little closer while everyone one was per occupied. The buttefflies that had begun since Will sat down started doing backflips. Nico tried to relax and let Will pull him a little closer. He looked over at Will. He was practically shouting the corus like everyone else.

“ DA DA DAH!” one side would shout. “DA DA DAH” the other side would shout back.

Will noticed Nico looking at him form the corner of his eye. He gave a small side smile at Nico. Nico turned red and tried to join in the shouting that was passing off as singing. He was slightly behind so that he would be still going for half a second after everyone else. Jason had been watching the whole exchange. He winked at Nico. Nico threw him a face.

As the night drew in Nico got very tired. It had been a very long day. Sword fighting and summoning the dead took alot out of a person. His head nodded slightly as he fought to keep his eyes open.

Eventually during the song We Are Never Getting Back Together he noded off so strong his head rested on Wills shoulder. Once the song was over he snapped out of it and jumped up.

Will shook him slightly. Smiling like an idiot. His face was glowing in the camp fire light. “Can I walk you to your cabin before you fall asleep right in the middle of the sing along?”

Nico nodded, and got up with Will. They walked beside each other towards the cabins. It was pitch black away from the campfire. Nico had no problem, but he noticed Will kept tripping slightly when the ground went uneven. His hands had retreated to his Hoodie pocket. They seemed to be clenching and twistung in one another. Once they got to the Hades cabin Nico went to say thanks and goodnight, but Will spoke first.

“UMmm hey Nico. I was wondering…… UMmm I mean if you not busy… Or maybe not interested. ….. But I was hoping….. UMmm mm. I’m kinda stupid at this…. UMmm. would you like to spend the day with me with me tonorrow its the day off… And UMmm. I kinda wanted to spend it with you…. I mean if u want…. UMmm if your interested that is?”

Nico paused for a moment. The butterflies in his stomach had migrated to his throat making it hard to talk.

He managed a weak “ya…..Id love to.”

Will smiled then quickly turned and practically ran back to the campfire. Nico walked into his cabin and slid down the closed door. He titled is head back and smirked. Today had been the one of the best days of his demigod life.

It took him a little while to come to his senses and head to his bed . Maybe camp wouldn’t be so bad after all.
