8: Birthday

(Will's P.O.V.)

It was January 28. Nico's 16 birthday. And I was planning something big.

"Piper! Put the balloons over there!" I yelled hurried. Nico would wake up soon, and we were no where close to being ready.

We took a little longer, but finally, it was set up.

"So, who's going to get him?" Jason asked.

"I think Will should get him," Piper said. "He planned all of this. And, he's Nico's boyfriend."

"Yeah, Will should go," Percy agreed.

"Then it's settled. Will, go get Nico," Annabeth said.

I ran off to his cabin. We were doing the party in the strawberry fields, so I had to run a lot.

Once I finally got there, I banged on his door. It just slid open. 

"Nico?" I called.

The cabin was pitch black, but the light in the bathroom wasn't. I walked over, and knocked on the bathroom door. I heard sobs coming from inside.

"Nico?" I asked.

"Please, go," Nico replied.

"Let me come in. Please, death boy."

"Fine," he said, his voice breaking. 

I opened the door, and saw Nico in the corner of the room with his face buried in his hands. Tears were streaming down his face.

"Oh, Nico. What's the matter?" I asked as I sat down with him.

"Bianca, she, she promised me that once I turned 16, she would go car shopping with me, no matter how much money we had. And now, she's dead, so we can't do any of it. She had so much planned," he said in-between sobs.

I put my arm around him as he cried into my shoulder. We sat there for a few minutes until we heard voices.  

"Will? Nico?" Someone called.

Nico sat up quickly. "I'll go," I offered. Nico nodded.

I sat up, and went over to the door. I saw it was Percy calling for us. "Over here!" I yelled.

Percy turned to look at me. "Where is Nico?" He asked.

"In the bathroom. Today brings back some memories for him."

Percy nodded. "Well, we are still set up. Could you try to bring him?"

"Yeah, I'll try."

Percy ran off to tell the others. I went back into the bathroom.

"Hey, Nico. We have something set up for you," I told him.

He nodded, then followed me.

In the strawberry fields, I showed him the party. His eyes showed excitment. 

"Thank you," he said after hugging me. 

The rest of Nico's friends came. "Surprise!" They yelled.

We ate cake, and danced around. Then, a slow dance came on.

I walked over to Nico. "May I have this dance?" I asked with my hand out.

He took it, and danced perfectly. I, on the other hand, did not.

After the song was over, we opened presents. I went through a lot of work to get Nico his present.

Most people got him some mythomagic cards. But once he went to my present, I held my breath. He would either like it or hate it.

It was a small package with black and yellow wrapping paper. He smiled at that. Nico slowly began to unwrap it, and tears started to come to his eyes once he saw it.

"What is it?" Percy asked.

Nico held up a picture. One of my favorites. A picture of Nico, his mother, and his sister all smiling at a camera. 

"I thought this got destroyed when Zeus used the lightning bolt. And the rest of them aren't even pictures that were taken. How, how Will?" He asked.

 "I had help from Apollo," I told him.

"Can I see the other pictures?" Jason asked.

Nico showed them a picture of our first kiss, a picture of me fretting when Nico might have died. I did not pick that last one. Apollo did.

Jason and Percy were laughing so hard at some of them, and Nico smiled. It was nice. It was 5:00 at night, so the party began to end.

Then, I had an idea. "Nico, I'll be right back."

I walked over to Chiron and told him my idea. Chiron sighed. "I guess. Be back after a hour, no more."

I smiled. I would make sure Nico had the best birthday.

I walked back to him. "Nico, come on. There is one last thing that I want to do."

We walked over to one of the cars, and I drove. After a few minutes of Nico squeezing my hand as we drove, we arrived. 

I looked at Nico. Tears were streaming down his face.

"Thank you Will," He said.

"Since Bianca couldn't do it, I'll do it," I said as we entered the car shop. "But we can't buy anything. Sorry."

Nico laughed. "Bianca wouldn't have gotten me a car either. Even though Hades gave us money, Bianca only spent it on school and clothes."

We looked around, and then it was almost curfew. We were going to be late!

We ran to the car, and I put my arm around Nico as we drove. 

After a little bit, he said, "Best birthday ever."

I looked down at him, and he was passed out, his snores quiet. "Goodnight death boy. I love you so much."

I continued to drive to camp half blood. I hope I could make every birthday as special as this for Nico.
