Once the two boys got back to camp, Nico had to admit something.

"Solace..."

"Solangelo," he corrected, happily. Meanwhile, Nico was sad.

"I... I don't love you anymore..."

"C-can we still be friends?" Will asked, the words choking him.

"I... I think that'll be fine."

Will nodded. He had to stay as close to Nico as possible, even if they couldn't love anymore.

"Good." Now can I kiss you? Nico thought. For medical reasons? Please?
