Nico x Will "Shining Shadows"

Tea Party of Love

Nico's heart had stopped for a moment. On his left he saw a familiar face. A beautiful goddess wearing a white sun dress and her hair framing her face with elegant curls, a tea cup raised to her lips.
She sat the cup down on its saucer and acknowledged Nico. "Hello, my dear Nico."
Nico returned the greeting, taking great care to not look at the god in front of him. He couldn't put his finger on it but something about THAT god made him uncomfortable. "Hello, Aphrodite."
"What, no hello to your old friend, Nico?" The god feigned disappointment. He wore a Custom Italian suit with a red rose on his lapel. His long hair was dark black with a hint of red. He wore a crimson Venetian mask that covered his eyes and nose.
When he heard the voice, Nico could feel his heart stop.
"So you do remember me eh?" The god asked.
"Cupid" Nico angrily spat at the god.
Cupid chuckled. "Why so bitter?"
"You nearly killed me and Jason." Nico screamed.
"Key word nearly. And I was just helping you express yourself." Cupid said smugly.
"Boys, calm down. Our time here is limited, so let's cut to the chase shall we?" Aphrodite cut in.
"What would that be anyway?" Nico asked.
"It seems I was wrong." Cupid said, with clear disdain for the last word.
"Wrong about what?" Nico asked.
"Initially, my son thought that you were in love with Percy Jackson." She said.
"And that was a good enough reason to crash my dream?" Nico asked
"No, that was essentially just Nightingale syndrome. Percy WAS the one who saved you so many times after all." She said.
Nico blushed.
"I knew he held some love for him mother." Cupid interrupted.
"Leave the poor child alone, my son. His love isn't true for Percy." She countered.
Cupid looked hurt, which made Nico smile.
"Anyway, it seems you are now in love with Will solace. A remarkable catch if I do say so myself." Aphrodite said.
"Again, I'm lost on why this matters." Nico said.
"Because, you disrespectful brat, my mother has some news pertaining to that matter." Cupid sneered.
"Calm down my son." Aphrodite chided Cupid.
"What news would that be?" Nico said.
"it's..." But before Aphrodite could finish the dream went fuzzy and Nico was suddenly awake in his bed.
"No no no" he screamed. "What was the oh so important news that was worth her communicating to me directly for?"
Suddenly Nico's door slammed open and Will shot through.
"What's the matter? I hear you holler." Will said out of breath.
"Nothing, just a bad dream." Nico said.
"Are you sure? That was a loud scream." Will asked.
"I'm sure Will. I'm okay, just a bad dream." Nico assured Will, even though he couldn't really make himself believe it.
Will punched Nico in the arm. "Don't ever scare me like that again, death boy!" He was blushing.
Nico rubbed his arm. "Ouch! Okay I promise, sunshine." Nico too blushed.
"I was coming to check on you and tell you it's dinner time." Will said.
"Okay." Nico replied. "Wanna walk me over to the pavilion, make sure I stay out if trouble?"
"S-sure." Will stammered, losing his composure slightly.
Nico laughed. It felt good to see Will lose his composure. It made him seem less out of Nico's league. The two boys walked over to the pavilion and ate dinner with their friends.
