Will Solace was my boyfriend. That was the first thought. Was it going to be awkward? Most of the time when you started dating someone, you didn't go and drink coffee with them while watching the news. Did you? How was I supposed to know? I'd probably ask Annabeth later.

I almost didn't want to get up. It'd be so awkward. Will was good at making things not awkward. I was not good at making things not awkward. If anything, I made them more awkward. I still rolled out of bed and scrolled through my phone. I looked over at my laptop, I needed to write soon if I ever plan on publishing a book. 

I finally left my room. I could hear Will in the kitchen. Honestly, we watched TV after the whole thing happened. Maybe it wouldn't be awkward. I walked into the open living room/kitchen things (wow Leah, great descriptive words) As soon as I walked in, Will dropped his tea. I snorted and walked into the kitchen. 

"Good morning," We said at the same time, very awkwardly.

I went to begin to make my coffee, and Will proceeded to clean up his split tea. It was awkward; I hated it. I didn't want it to be awkward. I really liked Will and I wanted it to feel comfortable. I guess it couldn't go right back to snuggling on the couch watching Harry Potter, but, that didn't mean I didn't want it like that. 

"Breakfast?" I asked swkwardly.

"Sounds good," He agreed.

"Eggs?"

"Amazing,"

"I'll just--" I gesture to the fridge. "--get on that,"

"I'll be over there--" He points to the couch, "--Watching some anime,"

"Okay..."

Gods I hated this. Will was my boyfriend. It was just a stupid title that I could care less about, but what I did care about was the fact I just wanted to take my hands and place them on his face and just see how ridiculous he looks. 

I began to cook the eggs and I made bacon and toast along with it. I made two separate plates and handed one to Will and I plopped down next to him, not as close as I usually would, but still close. I wasn't sure what the hell he was watching, but it was interesting so I didn't complain. 

"When do you get off work today?" He asked me, breaking the awkward silence. 

"3, why?"

"Because we're going on a date tonight,"

"We are?"

"Absolutely," He laughed. It wasn't an awkward laugh, but there was still awkwardness lingering in the air. 

"Where too?" I ask, not wanting an awkward silence to happen.

"I was going to think of that while you were at work," He chuckles. "I didn't think I'd get past yes,"

"Really?"

"Yeah," He confirms. I just laugh. It wasn't as awkward, but it was awkward. 

"Well, speaking of work, I need to get ready, I'll see you later,"

"MMkay, I will," He mumbles. I didn't really need to get ready for another 30 minutes, but I knew if I stayed any longer, it would have gotten awkward.

~~~La Time Skip~~~

"HEYYYY BITCHES!" I smile call out when I walk into work after seeing that it was empty besides Annabeth and Jason. "GUESS WHAT!?!"

"What?" Annabeth asked while laughing a little bit. 

"William Apollo Solace has asked me out and I did it without your help!" I was extremely happy with the last part.

"Awe, our little Nico got a boyfriend," Annabeth laughed lightly. 

"Oh, shut up," I teased. I was finally happy to say it, saying out loud made everything seem less awkward. 

Work was boring, but what else would it be? I was actually getting happy for the date. I wasn't sure what it would be. It could be a movie or maybe dinner, honestly out of anything, I'd just want to lay on the couch with pizza a do nothing. I know that that wasn't everyone's perfect date idea, but still.

The day dragged on. All I wanted to do was to see Will. I didn't even care how awkward it would be. I just wanted to see his blonde hair and blue eyes and tan skin and--- I just wanted to see him.

When work was over I called an Uber to take me home. Will was already home and we got ready together. I was informed we were going to the movies and what movies we could watch. We immediately agreed on 'the quiet place' that came out this Thursday.

The theater we went to was extremely empty. We bought popcorn and drinks. We also got way to expensive candy and Will insisted on paying for it. I told him not to, but he refused, I rolled my eyes as we walked into the theater.

"Isn't this like a scary movie?" Will asked me nervously.

"Yeah, why?" I laughed lightly. 

"N-No reason," Will said quickly.

"Oh my gods, are you scared?" I laugh teasingly.

"What," He says like it was the dumbest thing he had ever heard. "Why would you say that?"

"Oh my gods, you are. This is possibly the funniest thing I've seen in awhile,"

"I am not scared," Will stated. 

"Mmhmm, sure," I laugh. The theater was really empty, there was literally only one more group in there. It was three girls and they seemed pretty calm, just sitting in the back. 

The movie started and Will was calm at the beginning, but as soon as something remotely scary happened, he almost jumped out of his seat (A/N do not worry, there shall be no spoilers)I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Okay, how were you not scared?" He laughed. I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know, the only thing that really creeps me out is spiders. I don't see too many spiders in this movie," I laugh lightly.

"Spiders? So creepy deadly things, you could care less about, but fucking spiders?" He laughs. I nod my head.

"Yeah, there creepy, like how are all their legs connected and moving, their bodies are too small, not to mention, why do they need so many eyes?" I ramble on, trying to not think of the creatures.

"Wow, death boy, afraid of spiders," he teased with the name. 

"There really fucking creepy! Okay?" I defend, Will just continues laughing. 

"What are you? a ten-year-old girl?"

"Says the person jumping over a simple movie," I laugh back. I realized, this never had to be awkward in the first place. Yeah, the whole thinking about being in a relationship is a bit awkward considering we already lived together, but he was still one of my best friends, and it didn't have to be awkward, not at all honestly. 

Relationships were new to me, but I was being ridiculous thinking it was awkward. We both liked each other, and with that, I smiled and reached for his hands. It was such a stupid ridiculous thing to me nervous over, but that didn't stop me from being nervous.

We both smiled and continued to watch the movie. I kept telling my self it didn't need to be awkward because it didn't.

This chapter took forever to get out and is hella short, but it needed to happen to show why it isn't awkward or whatever, plus i got huge writers block rn, so i might make a Klance one shot story if you're into that check it out :)
