if you have time, please watch the japanese drama 恋せぬふたり (koisenu futari; the two people who can’t fall in love) which focuses on two aroace characters
Sakuko finds it difficult to live in a society which operates under the assumption that people will fall in love with each other. She meets supermarket employee Takahashi when she goes to support a "fall-in-love" campaign by her junior at work. She is startled when she hears him say that there are people who don't fall in love. As Sakuko's mother keeps hurrying her to get married, she decides to move out and rent an apartment with her friend but her friend backs out at the last minute after reconciling with her ex-boyfriend. Just when Sakuko is about to give up, she ends up living with Takahashi under one roof because of their similar values towards romance.

So ok, I confess that I’m not actually super duper into Solangelo. I like it. But then I came up with an idea that could make for a sad-cute story. When Nico loves somebody, he puts his whole heart and soul on the line for that person. He’ll risk everything for the people he holds dear. He doesn’t care about himself much because the world doesn’t end with his pain - the world ends with their pain. Nico wants happiness, he reaches for it like the cold reaches for warmth. When Nico loves you he does so unconditionally with his whole being. I think if Will got in some kind of godly trouble and got turned into a sunray as punishment (or Apollo saves him by doing so? like how zeus turned thalia into a tree to keep her safe), Nico di Angelo would go on an epic quest to undo it - if it so kills him. And so Nico gets to save somebody for a change. I’m too lazy to write that into fiction, maybe I’ll do it someday but, eh. This song is the inspiration for this picture and it got me into solangelo feels.
