☆CHAPTER EIGHT☆ (Will's POV) --------------------- ⛭ Will and Nico made their way to the dining pavilion for breakfast and sat down at the Apollo table. Kayla and Austin immediately stopped talking. “What-?” Will asked, scowling. Kayla flicked her eyes from Nico to Will. “Nothing.” She said. “Well, anyway,” Will began. “Whatcha’ gonna eat today, Neeks?” Nico raised an eyebrow. "When have you seen me eat anything other than eggs?" "You ate french toast that one time," "Oh, yeah..." "And that one time you ate a burger---which is NOT a proper breakfast." "Eh. Breakfast foods are a construct." The wood nymphs brought out their breakfast. Will had a cappuccino and a jam-filled Cornetto---something he'd tried a while ago, when he took Nico on a breakfast-date to Little Italy because he refused to let Nico shadow travel all the way to ACTUAL Italy. Nico had eggs. Duh. Sunny-side up, just like yesterday. Then he flipped the egg over, sunny-side down and compressed it with his fork until the egg-white soaked up the yolk. Then he shredded it to pieces. Will felt strangely pleased, for some reason. And so they ate. Just a regular ol' day in the life of good ol' Solangelo. Until it wasn't. Chiron trotted up to their table, his hooves clomping rather loudly. Nico and Will spun in his direction. "Will, I need you. There's a new camper---in the Apollo cabin. Could you show them around?" "Oh? I, uh, yea---" "Can I go too?" Nico interjected. "I don't see why not," Chiron replied. "You two go ahead and finish eating, she should be---" "Who's gonna show me around, again?" Will and Nico re-directed their attention. There was a girl. Shorter than Will, taller than Nico. She had wavy brown hair, blue eyes, and was now equipped with a brand new camp half blood T-shirt. She practically bounced on her toes, her face beaming with excitement. "Us," Said Will, gesturing towards him and Nico. He stood up. "Apollo cabin, right? I'm your half-brother now! I'm also the Head Counselor, so you also kinda have to listen to me." He said with a playful grin. "Cool, cool, cool, and who's...he?" She said inquisitively. "I-uhm, Nico. Di Angelo." "Wow, you really have to work on your people skills, darling." Will teased. It was not as if Nico had said anything particularly wrong; Will was just in a very teasing mood today. Nico's face went pink. "Oh, shut up. Not like you're much better. You're a total dork." "You know you love me and my dorkiness," Will said. "Sadly." Nico retorted. The new girl's mouth was a little agape. "You two are-?" "Dating," Will finished. "Could you /not/?" Nico said. "What would you prefer? Co-conspirator? Partner in crime? Chosen roommate? 'That one guy I have to take care of because he doesn't do it himself?'" "Hmph." The new girl may have squealed. Or done something stupid, like scream: "REAL LIFE BL FOR FREE!!!" But Will assumed she found none of which socially acceptable, as she said no such thing. "Well, uh, I don't think I got your name?" Will said. "Asher! But you can call me Ash." "Great, great, now that we've got all this out of the way, are we ready to go, death boy?" Will said, turning to Nico. Nico let out an exasperated breath. "Yes. And /don't/ call me that." "Okay, death boy." Nico gave up.
