"Hey, Neeks?" Jason asked, turning to face Nico.

Nico looked up from completely demolishing a row and a half of straw dummies, "Yeah? And don't call me Neeks," he said, lifting his black tank top to wipe the sweat from off his forehead. Jason noticed a bunch of girls were staring at Nico's stomach when he lifted his shirt, making him roll his eyes. Nico was very gay and VERY taken, plus if those girls wanted Nico, they would have to get trough Jason first.

"I was just wondering, who is Mrs O'Leary?" Jason questioned, sitting down to get a drink. He had heard stories of Mrs O'Leary but hadn't met her.

Nico smiled to himself, thinking of all the good times he had with her, "She was a role model of mine growing up," he mused, picking up his sword and hacking at another dummy.

Jason watched as Nico's sword demolished the dummy in seconds, using different strategies with every stroke and swing of the blade, 'Please let Mrs O'Leary be a human,' he thought to himself, twirling his sword in his hand.

Nico slashed through a few more dummies, sweat slowly dripping off his face, his eyebrows scrunched in concentration but his mouth was curled in a small smile. "Mrs O'Leary was a hellhound," he said finally.

"Oh come ON!" Jason groaned, laying down on the arena floor.

"What?" Nico asked, coming down to sit by him, his black shirt completely soaked.

"I was hoping Mrs O'Leary would be a human," Jason muttered, sitting up again and grabbing his water bottle.

Nico chuckled softly, "I do have SOME human role models you know," he said, jabbing his finger into Jason's side.

"Yeah? Like who?"

"Percy, Annabeth, Chiron if he counts, my sister," Nico counted off on his fingers, he paused for a minute, trying to think of someone else that was a role model, "And Will I guess."

Jason nearly choked on his drink, instead, he opted to spit it out on Nico.

"Jason!" Nico screamed, jumping up out of instinct. Nico made a face and started to fan out its shirt, which was now trying to stick to him even more.

"Sorry!" Jason sputtered out, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "I just- Will? Really?" He asked, pushing his glasses up.

"Yup," Nico said picking up his sword and swinging it around, he suddenly perked up and looked in a certain direction, which confused Jason immensely.

"What?" Jason asked, craning his neck to see what Nico was looking at.

"Speak of the devil," Nico muttered under his breath, "It's Will."

Will came rushing to Nico and lifted the smaller boy, spinning him around, "Hey Death Breath!!!" Will yelled with a bright smile on his face.

Nico could hear Jason squealing, but chose to put it in the back of his mind, "Hey Sunshine," he said, when Will lit him down, kissing Will after he said that.

Jason's squeals grew louder and more annoying, to which both Will and Nico rolled their eyes at.

"So, you guys were talking about me?" Will asked, adjusting his shirt.

Jason looked between Will and Nico, "You heard him?"

Will just tapped his ear, "Apollo perk."

Jason nodded in understanding, "Oh yeah, but Neeks here.."

"Don't call me that," Nick interrupted.

"NEEKS HERE was saying how you Will, were a role model to him growing up."

"I was?" Will asked, grinning at the now very red Nico.

Nico's flush grew darker when Will flashed his smile at him, "Yeah you were Solace, and stop grinning at me like you won some prize or something."

Will's grin just grew wider to annoy Nico, to which Nico just rolled his eyes at (don't worry, Jason was squealing).

"But Solace here was a medic, a very good medic, during the second titan war," Nico explained, rushing as to make sure Will nor Jason would interrupt him, "And he was helping people you know, he even cured Annabeth when she got hit but the poisoned dagger, but after the war, I talked to him. He was always talking about his patients and all the ones he couldn't save, but then I realized that he saved so many more people and I wanted to be just like that, helping and saving people."

Both Will and Jason looked dumbstruck at Nico's explanation. Will's grin had melted right off his face and an awed, but proud expression replaced out, his mouth slightly open, he was blushing up a storm as well. Jason's mouth was wide open, and so were his eyes.

"Well," Will said, at loss for words, "I'm, I'm honoured? I guess?"

Nico just rolled his eyes, "Yeah you should be," he grabbed the front of Will's shirt and pulled him down for a kiss.

"OH, MY GAWDS SOLANGELOOOOOOO!!!" Jason squealed, surely displaying all the fangirls' emotions.
