Chapter Six: Apollo-gies
Nico's PoV:
I hated this. Will had been crying! Because his soulmate was me! And the thing was, I couldn't hate him for being so upset that I was his soulmate. He was still nice about it, he had even tried to make sure I was alright. But I had ruined it. No, I definitely couldn't blame him for not wanting to be my soulmate.
Instead of going to my cabin, this time I went to Percy's. I needed to talk to him about this.
I knocked on the door and he almost immediately opened it. "Hey Nico. You came to talk about meeting your soulmate, right?"
I nodded. "He's crying because he's my soulmate."
Percy blinked. "Are you sure? Earlier he totally wanted to date you."
I stared at him. "What?"
"Oh yeah. He asked me if you were gay and was staring at you... He definitely was not disappointed."
"But that doesn't make any sense..."
"It doesn't have to make sense. It's love."
I rolled my eyes. "Well what do I do?"
"Buy him some flowers or something. If he was crying, he was probably upset about something and you need to make him feel better."
"Where did you get that?"
"Piper."
"Figures. Where do I get flowers?"
"Are you kidding? Even I knew to go to the Demeter cabin for that."
"Right. Okay. Um... I'll see you later I guess."
Percy chuckled. "Good luck."
~~~
I was having problems getting the Demeter kids to give me flowers. They said they knew that when I get angry the plants around me wilt, and apparently they worked really hard to make their flowers grow.
"Please? I need to give them to-"
"Your soulmate? If we gave one to everyone who found their soulmate, we wouldn't have any left."
"But he-he's crying. Because of me. I'm trying to make him feel better."
She sighed. "Fine. But you have to pay us five drachmas."
Luckily I had some in my pocket so I could pay her. I took the flowers and rushed to the Apollo cabin. I didn't notice that my nervousness was wilting the flowers, I was in too much of a hurry.
"Will?" I knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"
I heard some rustling and finally the door opened. "What do you want?" He rubbed his eyes, which had tears in them. I felt guilty, knowing I'd caused those tears.
"I, uh, got you some flowers..." I finally looked down at them. "Oh... They weren't wilted when I bought them. I'm really sorry."
Will took the flowers anyway and led me inside. "I-it's alright. We can just put them in a vase and make them look nice again. Don't feel bad."
"You f-forgive me?"
He stopped walking and thought about the question. "I forgive you for running away the first time, because you were probably just stressed. I do not forgive you yet for running away the second time when I was trying to comfort you."
I nodded. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."
He kept walking. "Thanks for these, Nico." He said, gesturing to the flowers. He found an empty vase and put them in it after filling it with water.
