Nico sat on the couch waiting. He was drumming his fingers on his knee, his foot tapping in rhythm. Today was the day he would- they would tell them.

Will came out of the bathroom, hair brushed and face cleaned. Nico looked at his boyfriend.
Will was wearing a classic blue jeans and a sweater version of their camp T-shirt. He had converse shoes and his hair was swirled up.
Nico stood, and Will smiled.

Nico was wearing his dark navy skinny jeans and a smiley skull shirt. "Good to go?" Will reached his hand towards Nico

He nodded and took his hand.
They melted into the dark, shadow-traveling to the Underworld. They reappeared in front of the door of the dining hall in the Hades Palace. Nico stumbled backwards from the sudden energy drain, being caught by Will's strong arms.

They stood there, for a few moments, accepting the fact that they may be reduced to ashes. Will gently pecked his lips on the mess of black hair.
"Ready?" Will asked.
Nico nodded and took his hand.

The gates slowly opened, revealing two men.
It was really funny to see them together.

One was around their age, wearing a tee and shorts, and rocking his sunglasses.
The other was a middle aged man with dark, slick back hair.

"We've been expecting you." Hades said.
"Father, we, I-" Nico tried to start a conversation, regretting his life as he watched it drop dead.

"We already know, bros. I can't wait to tell Aphrodite; Demeter owes her another island now," Apollo casually chuckled and leaned over to Hades, and seeing him frown even more, he stopped.

"Well, since this old grumpy man is being a bore, I'll go." He turned to leave but suddenly turned back. "Will, make sure to use protection! Remember there's always some sunscreen in the Apollo cabin." He disappeared before Will could grab him, and left Hades and the boys to themselves.

Both of the boys were a blushing mess, and Hades was expressionless.

He took a step forward to Nico.
"Don't believe a word Apollo says." He growled.
"Okay," Nico was nervous. What if he didn't approve?

Hades looked him straight in the eye, making Nico shiver as Will grabbed his arm protectively.
He leaned in even further, his voice low;

"You'd absolutely top that son of Apollo."
