My heart is like a stallion,
They love it more when it's broke in

- Along Together, Fall Out Boy

c h a p t e r 2: w i l l

Possibly it was a long swing to know whether or not Nico's feelings were returned towards Will Solace. Being a doctor, Will could sense emotions or tribulations. Nico Di Angelo? All Will could read was a dark black empty hole. His pages were as blank slates, nothing. He'd have to battle to win over Nico's scattered emotions. The boy needed someone- Will was more than happy to oblige. Perhaps it wasn't just the thought of Nico opening up, he also had this urge to desire to stretch closer to Nico. This aching feeling to wrap the son of Hades in his warmth and obliterate his dark shadows.

It was Nico's last day in the infirmary, considering he was fast sleep for 3 days Nico insisted it was enough. Plus an extra day. Will confirmed his theory, yet he wished for Nico to stay and allow Will to slack off while they chatted about anything. Will didn't care what- as long as he was accompanied by the son of Hades.

Nico was released early that morning, leaving Will to entertain himself by simply attending to patients. He already could feel the loss of Nico's presence shrinking- despite the fact that he'd already abandoned Will. Will amused himself by humming while replacing bandages and tidying bed sheets. Will was always placed on cleaning because of his OCD on where everything must be placed. It seemed to take his mind off Nico, though the boy didn't wander far from Will's thoughts.

Will never quite had overriding emotions since- Luke Castellan. Although the courageous boy had died sacrificing himself, Will used to have it bad. The boy seemed straight as an arrow yet that didn't allow his tingles or rattles in his stomach to subside. He couldn't state he was the only one who had a crush on the blonde. Annabeth was partially interested in Luke- until Percy arrived. Luke always stared at Annabeth in ways Will could dream about. There were several moments where Will could have sworn Luke returned his feelings. He finally attempted to admit his feelings by a simple note, but that was the worst day of Will's life.

*Flashback*

Will slipped the note under Luke's pillow then proceeding out the door fumbling with his fingers behind his back. Luke met him part of the way mumbling something beneath his breath. Will cherished the act Luke regularly did when he was bewildered. Luke's blonde hair was pushed to the side of his head while gel outlined his hair, stabilizing it.

Luke's eyes locked with Will's causing a small shock of lightning to strike Will's heart. Curse ,Zeus, Will thought. "What's up Beach Boy?" Luke smirked then draping his arm over the shoulders of Will. Will grinned inwardly at the gesture and diminished the exploding feeling in his heart.

"It's Valentines Day, I've got things planned." Will winked allowing a giggle to escape Luke's pinkish tint lips.

"Oh, I understand... why were you in my cabin though?" Luke's expression became quite serious with a hint of curiousness. Will's hand reached the back of his neck and he scratched at his neck in response.

"I was- erm... I went in there to look for you and I witnessed this guy sneaking some note under your pillow. I told him to back off. He was soon scrambling out the door." Will lied, although he needed Luke to search beneath his pillow. "he shouldn't came back, I scared the gods out of him. He seemed partially embarrassed." Luke was soon steering Will back towards his cabin.

"Alright, let's go check it out!" Luke exclaimed racing from Will's arms, leaving Will with no other option. Will dashed after him and soon entered the Hermes cabin. Luke shuffled under his pillow until his eyes lit up- assuming his hands found the slip of paper.

Will inwardly praised himself for jotting down: "Secret Admirer" instead of "Will". Luke unruffled the paper then scanning his eyes over the paper. His eyes shot open with suprise, then his mouth hung agape. He hastily handed the paper to Will while combing his hands through his hair.

"R-read it... Aloud..." Luke rasped before sprawling onto his bed with a shocked expression still slathered against his perfect skin, Will might add.

Will heaved a breath then releasing the words sketched across the now tattered paper.

"Dear Luke,
This may come as a shock to you... but I like you. Possibly you like me too, I've been receiving mixed signals. Another portion is because- well, I'm not a girl. Many people would laugh and mock me but I believe you'll treat me different. You might not feel the same sexual attraction and I undertsnad, but this is my choice. If you know who I am please confront me so we can work it out.
~ Your Secret Admirer." the words slipped through Will's mouth like a fork scratching against a plate. There was a moment of silence before Will couldn't take it anymore, "what are you going to do?"

"'What am I going to do?'" Luke repeated scurrying to meet up with Will at his side. "I'm going to find this fag."

Will's heart crashed like the Titanic. Was this real? Why did it have to be this way? Was his life really worth this crap? Why'd he turn out like this? Why couldn't he be normal? "F-fag..." Will choked biting his lip between his teeth to demolish the tears that pleaded to rip from his eyelids.

"I know just who it is." he concluded shoving past Will and approaching the Dining Pavilion.

"W-who?" Will stammered shuffling behind in worry and disappointment.

"Anthony Rogers, from the Demeter cabin."

*End Flashback*

There was no happy ending to any life, whether you seek your true love and accomplish the task- or you simply fail. At least that's what Will Solace was convinced, but now he grew to hope that maybe Nico Di Angelo could execute this theory.

Will finally was released from the hospital duties he was assigned and then delivered to his cabin. On the way his eyes drifted around, searching for the son of Hades. Instead, he found the son of Jupiter sauntering up to him with a well known smirk. If his heart wasn't attached to someone else Will could admit he was pretty cute. But not his type.

"Hey ,Will." Jason haltered in front of Will giving a uneasy smile. Will had only chatted with Jason a few times during the war or aiding him on where the bathrooms were located.

"Hi..." Will's voice faded with loss.

"How's it going?"

"Uh, it's fine..." his voice lingered off but soon returned with wonder, "is there a reason you may need me?"

"Yes, actually Piper and I wanted to invite you guys to play some Truth or Dare."

"Um, sure..." Will replied then following closley behind the son of Jupiter.
