Chapter Text
Will Stronghold would look back on his high school freshman year with multiple feelings.
A lot happened that year.
He was an ass to his friends for a solid two months, got his powers, gained a new friend who started out as an enemy, said new friend was now dating his best friend, his girlfriend was as old as his parents and was evil, and the school nearly crashed onto a house his parents had recently sold. It didn't happen in that order but those were very important events.
The house the school nearly landed on was important for sending his parents to a Hawaiian vacation without fighting a villain.
The others were more self explanatory.
His best friend and new friend dating were probably what he was happiest about next to his powers.
He wasn't sure exactly how they became a couple, but their relationship was not his and they decided what they shared with him he couldn't demand it.
As long as they weren't sappy in front of him Will was fine.
He was surprised they didn't become official until during homecoming. He thought it was before, but this was during his "I'm popular and have powers" arrogance he wasn't proud of so his judgement wasn't clear.
Seeing your best friend in tears because of something she thought you did would kick anyone in the ass. Will just hated he caused it.
He would always feel guilty for Gwen making Layla cry. It didn't matter she forgave him, Layla crying would be seared into his brain.
As would her scream as he was thrown out a window.
Thank god he inherited his mom's powers otherwise he would be dead.
His parents looking at Layla and Warren was a surprise. After they became adults again he was surprised how they reacted at seeing the new couple holding hands.
Apparently after the school was back in the sky there had been a Big Damn Kiss between the earth and fire powerhouses.
No one saw it but the breathless and content looks they gave each other was a pretty good indicator.
Will was pleased.
Maybe he should tell them he was Aphrodite and knew damn well about them being destined to rule together.
But he wasn't keen on letting anyone know that yet. His grandma gave him he role and hadn't told anyone else yet.
Will was the only who knew who she was. Who he was now.
Aphrodite always was more interested in mayhem then anyone thought.
He would reveal himself soon. But for now he would enjoy high school.
And wait for his best friend to calm Warren down so he wouldn't get mudered immediately after he revealed his identity.
