Nico di Angelo is in love.
Unfortunately.
Not with Percy Jackson anymore. That would’ve been easy. Unattainable, sure, but at least he could’ve filed it away under Stupid Mistakes I Make When I’m ten. Curse you, Aphrodite.
He knows the feeling — that jittery, restless buzz, like waiting for the sun to rise after an all-nighter you know was a terrible idea. It’s an old enemy by now. Like most of his enemies, it’s winning.
Will Solace is light and butterflies and every other nauseating thing Nico pretends not to give a crap about. His laugh lights up the room — because of course it does — like the universe personally handed him a spotlight and said, Here, make everyone else look worse.
His absurdly long fingers drum a rhythm on the table, like he’s starring in some indie coming-of-age movie nobody asked for. Nico included.
Every stupidly perfect curl, every freckle that looks like Aphrodite got drunk and decided to show off — it’s enough to make Nico want to set himself on fire. He wonders how much gold it would take to recreate this disaster. Everything in Hades’ palace. Twice. Maybe throw in Cerberus for good measure.
Will’s eyes crinkle when he smiles — soft and blue and filled with that unbearable, stupid early-morning light that makes you want to punch the sunrise and then crawl into a pit and die.
“Oh my gods, Cecil, please don’t—”
Will’s laughter detonates — loud, wild, full-body laughter — and Nico feels it like a bomb going off right inside his ribcage.
He bends over clutching his chest dramatically — Nico’s chest, technically, since that’s where the explosion hits.
His back curves like some stupid heroic mountain or whatever. It’s disgusting.
The first sound of his laugh practically plants flowers in the air. Actual, metaphorical, revolting flowers. Nico would throw up if he weren’t too busy mentally composing sonnets about Will’s jawline. He is a disaster.
“Yo, Death Boy, what are you staring at?”
Will waves a freckly hand in front of his face because of course he notices. Of course he has functioning eyes. Meanwhile, Nico can barely remember how breathing works.
“Nothing,” Nico says, dead inside. “Just the sunrise.”
And somehow, Pandora opened the box and you didn’t fall out. Miraculous.
“Sunrise? D’Angelo, it’s literally ten in the morning. And raining.”
“Cecil, shut up before I hand-deliver every skeleton middle finger we planted on the Ares cabin roof last night into your bunk.”
“Geez, Nico! Fine! Shutting up!”
This is so true.
He doesn't want to hurt people and I feel like the only time he is mean to someone is when he knows them really well and they won't take it seriously
He wouldn't be an absolute jersey to people but he also wouldn't be all cute and sensitive
I think that Will helped soften him, but he's only let's Will see that Soft Kind side of him
i know we all hate the “uwu sensitive gay boy” stereotype nico di angelo is thrust into. and believe me when i say i have a battle to fight with it. but what about the one where he’s overly mean. no he would not tell two campers to fuck off cause they looked at him. no he would not disrespect random leaders/people for no reason. no he would not be blatantly rude to everybody who approaches him. no he would not be an asshole. is he standoffish, awkward, a little creepy, and had a period in time he believed everyone hated him? yes! this does not mean he’s a smartass or enjoys hurting others. it’s perceiving him in a way that would probably make him nauseous. that boy is very polite, especially towards women, and the safety of others is dare i say one of his main priorities. he knows what it’s like to feel hated and would never inflict that upon someone else. i KNOW he holds the door open for people, helps old ladies cross the road, smiles at babies, and invites younger campers to sit with him if they feel out of place. he is an angel. ted talk concluded
i was looking for a specific panel and i feel so dumb but like
tyler’s contact photo of aiden
and then the actual panel when it happened
i just realized we can actually see tyler taking the picture. i can’t tell if this was intentional or if red was like “oh tyler had his phone out during this part put might as well use that as aiden’s contact photo” ?? its a nice little detail i think
this is gonna turn into a “things i noticed in sbg that i probably should have noticed before that was super obvious but i was too dumb to figure it out” type of account. just to let you know…
i saw this image and immediately thought of them.Please tell me nobody has done this already LOL (。-∀-)
Please guys I need this
let will solace go batshit with his plague powers in court of the dead bc "no one touches my boyfriend!" 2k25
This is my first post so....
So I don't know if anyone noticed this yet but the switch between Buddy's/Nox outfit
Like how it was sharp and hurt chase, but then you go to the next story, and he's wearing this
It's soft and won't hurt him. I think it's on purpose.
nico di angelo was (is) the type of kid to catch bugs and dig up worms and trade maggots and shit and when he brought them back to bianca like a dog to a front porch she’d always piss herself screaming
it’s aidens fault they’re in the phantom world actually
This is a safe place no bullying! I can give recommendations if you want some webtoons, books, and songs
