just imagining 11 year old will solace hiding behind lee fletcher in titan& #39;s curse, waiting for the right timing to befriend the new kid with the mythomagic cards in the hermes cabin

lee: "go on you could talk to him you& #39;re a big boy now"

will: "i know I& #39;m a big boy now shut up but https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Right pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Right pointing backhand index">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👈" title="Left pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Left pointing backhand index"> idk anything about his card game"

michael: "just tell him apollo& #39;s the best even if he isn& #39;t"

And then,, he FINALLY gets to talk to him and wow, Nico is so radiant and bright and warm, he keeps talking about attack points and Will& #39;s never had a crush but maybe this is how it felt?

Then Nico started talking about the Poseidon card and "look this Percy& #39;s dad!!! I saw how he fought, he& #39;s so strong! When do you think he& #39;ll come back?" he asked him with a pout and Will felt weird because of all this Percy talk even though he also thinks Percy is cool.

and when will comes back to the apollo cabin lee asks him "why the long face?" and he just shrugs nothing and his siblings would ask him what they talked about and he& #39;ll tell them "percy jackson" and michael GUFFAWS at the back and someone throws a slipper straight in his mouth

don& #39;t even ask how that slipper went straight into Michael& #39;s mouth this is the Apollo cabin and Will laughed and it was fine he& #39;ll talk to Nico again tomorrow maybe he could hold his hand as he tells him about the bones of the hands
