In Time {Solangelo}

~ Will ~

He looked down at Kathrine. "You can go now, you know."

She smiled sweetly, "On I know."

"Then why are you still here?"

Her grin got wider, "I'm waiting for Charlie to get back."

Will sighed, "Wasn't she just here?"

Kathrine nodded.

He stuck his head into the hallway, "Charlie, come on."

His half sister appeared, "Is she okay?"

Will nodded, "Will you make her leave?"

Kathrine snorted as she got up, "WILL you leave." She slid out of the bed and fell on her face. Charlie groaned, "Not again..."

Kathrine sat up, "I'm good!"

Will smiled, "Well Charlie I'll let you deal with her."

Charlieshrugged, "Alright," she smiled, her green eyes sparkled, "But Nico said that you need to take a break." She made shooing motions with her hands, "Now shoo."

Will sat on his bed and chewed an apple. He thought about what Charlie had said to him about the son of Hades, Nico said that you need to take a break. He smiled to himself. Nico had been concerned about someone else. And not just anyone else, Will. Maybe he had a chance after all.

From across the room Kayla let out a laugh as she and Austin left the cabin, leaving Will alone. He lay down and closed his eyes, Will remembered what Rachel had said, You and the son of Hades are not so different as you think. He had no idea what that meant. Nico was literally his opposite.

The son of Hades was dark and sad, Will was bright and cheerful. Nico wore black clothes and had a stygian iron blade, whereas he like bright shirts with stupid things on them and he prefered a bow. Nico was, well... the son of Hades which was as about as different from Apollo as you could get.

From outside the cabin he could hear voices talking. The voices sounded familiar, but he couldn't tell who they belonged to. It kind of sounded like Jason Grace With two other people. A moment later there was a knock on the door, Will sat up as Percy Jackson walked in. "Hey," The sea god's son smiled awkwardly, "Hope I'm not interrupting anything."

Will shook his head, he had never felt uneasy around Percy, but ever since he'd come back from Tartarus, Percy had seemed different somehow. Percy fiddled with his pen, "I know this might sound like a strange request but ... I was wondering if you could teach me how to do that," Percy gestured at the bow next to Will's bed.

Will raised an eyebrow, "The great Percy Jackson wants me to teach him how to shoot a bow?"

"Yeah... I'm pretty bad, plus it might be a useful skill to have in the future. I mean it helped me in the Labyrinth and I was thinking it might be a good to have more of an assortment of weapons I can use."

Will nodded, he had heard all about Apollo's cattle in the Labyrinth, "Why not ask Kayla? I'm not the best..."

The son of poseidon shrugged, "I dunno."

"Sure, why not."

Percy grinned.

"I have a question thought, how'd you come up with?"

Percy looked up the tips of his ears turning pink. "Annabeth thought of it, I just agreed."

Will brought the arrow back then let it fly, he loaded another as a voice from behind him said, "So..." He flinched and his shot went wild, hitting a bulls eye on another target. Percy shuffled his feet, "Nice shot." he said grinning. Will nodded, "Thanks."

Will looked over and saw Nico walking out of the infirmary, Will waved. Nico waved back then stopped short when he was Percy, he turned and walked away. "What was that about," Will said.

"It's my fault..." Percy said, "But I've been wanting to ask you something..."

Will loaded another arrow, "Ya?"

"About Nico..."

Will flinched again but this time the arrow landed several feet away from the target. "What about him?"

Percy shuffled his feet, "Do you know what his type would be... cause he said it wasn't me."

Will stopped and looked at Percy, "What did you just say?"

"Um... Nothing... Never mind... It's not really my place to say..."

Will tried to process what the son of the sea god's son had just said, Nico had a type? but Percy rushed on, "Anyway... Thanks Will, see you around."
