She wanted a Solangelo one-shot.

Soulmate AU, where everything you draw on your skin shows up on your soulmate.

Background info:

Nico and Will are going to college in New Rome with their other friends.

They are just friends at the moment.

Here it is:

*Nico's POV*

I started awake as the bell rang, acting as an alarm clock. Wait, bell? I look around and realize that I'm in class. I fell asleep again. I rub my cheek where it was conveniently resting on my pen. With red ink. I drew a giant red line down my cheek when I fell asleep. I sigh. Well, if I pass anyone with a red line on their cheek, I'll know who my soulmate is.

Yeah right. I probably don't even HAVE a soulmate. Who could even like, much less love me? And even if I do have a soulmate, I probably won't meet them today. I sigh and head to the bathroom to scrub it off. Guess I'll be late for my next class.

*Will's POV*

"Uh, Will?" Percy says, snapping me out of my daydream. I was thinking of my crush, Nico di Angelo.

"Yeah?" I say, trying not to let him realize what I'm talking about.

"You got a little something on your face there..." What? I look at my reflection in the nearest window and see a giant red line going down my cheek.

"When did that happen?"

"Maybe it was your soulmate?" Percy suggests.

"Yeah, right. I gotta go fix this now." I hurry off to the bathroom, trying to cover my cheek inconspicuously.

No matter how hard I scrub, it won't come off. Maybe Percy was right, and it is my soulmate. We can't rub off the marks that they make. That's when Nico walks in.

*Nico's POV*

I walk into the bathroom and see Will... washing his face in the sink? I cover up my cheek in the same instant he covers his and starts blushing. Hopefully, he doesn't notice the bags under my eyes. If he notices them, then he'll get all worried and I hate to make him worry.

"H- hey Nico. Wasn't expecting to see you in here." Gods, WHY did he have to look so cute saying that?

"I, uh wasn't expecting to see you either."

"Are you ok? You look a little tired."

"Y- yeah. Just stayed up later than usual." I don't mention that I was up late because I was busy fighting off monsters. That's when he realizes that we're both covering our cheeks. Oh no. He's going to see the red mark and think I was drawing in myself like a toddler.

"Is there something on your face?" He asks.

"What? Uh, no!" He doesn't believe me. He walks over to move my hand, but to do that, he has to move his. I gasp when I realize that he has a red mark on his face too. "I think you've got something on YOUR face," I say, trying to distract him.

"What? Oh, it's not coming off, so I think it was my soulmate's. What do you have?" I slowly remove my hand, to reveal the mark on my face. It's his turn to gasp.

"Let's look in the mirror." Our eyebrows simultaneously shoot off into the sunset when we see that the red marks on our faces are identical.

*Will's POV*

"So... are you my soulmate?" I ask. Come on Will. You could've said something better than THAT.

"Only one way to find out," Nico says, bending over the sink. He scrubs his face, and I watch in the mirror as the mark smears, then eventually comes off all together.

"It worked!" I laugh.

"Wow. We're really soulmates..."

"Are you disappointed that it's me?" I ask.

"No, no. I'm just surprised that anyone would be able to STAND life with me. I kinda thought that I wouldn't HAVE a soulmate." He looks at his shoes, and I give him a hug. I can tell he's startled at first, but then he leans into it.

"I'm glad it was you," I say.

"I'm glad it was you too," he replies. I'm not thinking when I give him a quick kiss. On the lips.

"Sorry! I shouldn't have-" He cuts me off by kissing me again. And it's amazing.

There it is. Sorry it was so short. I didn't really know how to make it longer. missamericana013 I hope you enjoyed it.
