Ch 9- S'mores and Snowballs- a Solangelo fanfic

Instructions

CH 9 Nico ------------------ It was the night before the game, and the whole camp seemed to be holding its breath. Nico was sitting by the hearth. All around him, the last glimmers of the day were leaving, and the day was slipping into night, but he didn’t want to sleep. “Nico.” Nico looked up and smiled. It was Will. “What are you doing out here? It’s late, and the snowball fight is tomorrow. “I just don’t think I can sleep.” “Yeah, I get it,” said the blonde, joining Nico by the hearth. “I can’t believe I wasn’t here for the past winters. I wish I had tried to trust you guys and stay earlier,” Nico said in a moment of honesty “Yeah, that would have been fun. Although you most likely would have passed out without people here to make you limit your powers,” Will said with a playful poke. “I assume by ‘people’ you mean you,” Nico said, returning the poke. “Ok, you might be right.” Nico smiled, “I wonder what one of us will get out first in the likely event we don’t win.” “I’ll make you a deal. Whoever gets out first has to restuff the dummies next week.” “Deal,” Nico said, leaning against Will's shoulder, knowing full well that they would probably end up doing it together because both of them would feel bad the other was doing it and get bored. But he was still going to win. (guys why did i lowkey just now realize that this was going to have to end. Ill miss writing this! ToT) The two boys sat there by the hearth, leaning against each other for a bit, until getting rudely interrupted by a cannon (canon like theyna for sure- ok im sorry ill shut up so you can read now) going off over by the Hepheasutus cabin. “I guess we aren’t the only ones not able to fall asleep,” said Will. “We should probably all be in bed right now so we are rested for tomorrow.” Nico sighed, “But it’s so warm right here,” he said, closing his eyes. “Do you /want/ us to oversleep tomorrow?” “I guess not. But you owe me peaceful-hearth-time tomorrow.” “Sure, Nico,” Will laughed as they started back to their cabins. Also CH 9 Luca ---------------------- Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp, Luca was preparing for his surprise attack in the field tomorrow. He smiled as he put the finishing touches on his masterpiece. He had taken the shield from behind the Ares cabin and had added a perfume bottle filled with chocolate-scented perfume. He saw Drew throw it away, and she had told him it wasn't stealing if it was from the trash, so he decided he could take it. He hoped the yummy smell would distract people and trick them into thinking there was cake. He really was a genius when he thought of that! He could not /wait/ until tomorrow.
