Solangelo One-Shot Collection

Fuzzy Socks

(Will and Nico are doing some preparations for their wedding.)

~Will POV~

Nico yelled on the phone as I watched from the couch.

"The wedding is tomorrow!" He snapped. "What do you mean you double booked the venue?!"

He screamed and shouted. I smiled and admired my fiancé.

"Fuck you!" He Hollered. "You're picking a straight wedding over a gay one?! Did they pay more? No? So you're just a homophobic bitch! I will take you to court if I don't see that check in my mailbox by end of next week!"

He hung up and plopped next to me. I petted his hair and pulled him into my lap. My sweetheart nuzzled against my neck, leaning into my touch.

"What are we gonna do?" He asked. "The wedding's tomorrow!"

"We can ask Percy and Annabeth if we can hold the ceremony in their backyard." I suggested.

He sighed and nodded.

"I'll call them." I said. "You're too upset right now to talk to Percy."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" He snapped.

Then he froze and stared at me for a second. He huffed and looked away from me.

"I get it..." He said.

I chuckled and kissed his cheek. He smiled and handed me the phone. I dialed in Percy's number and listened to the phone ring.

"Are we too young for this...?" He mumbled, though I doubt he realized I heard him.

I squeezed his hand, running my thumb over the small onyx and citrine stones in his engagement ring.

[Flashback A Year Prior]

Mrs. O'Leary rolled around with Cerberus. They played and tugged on a red ball until it was nothing but a few scraps.

Nico sat beside me, leaning on my shoulder. A picnic by The River Styx. Where better to take The Ghost King on a date?

"Will?" Nico said.

"Yes?" I asked.

He kissed me.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I said.

"I can't believe we've never done this before. This was a great idea." He said.

He smiled at me.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He said. "Will...I..."

My boyfriend got on one knee and cupped my face in his hands.

"William Solace, will you marry me?" He said.

I laughed and laughed. Nico stared at me.

"Wha- why are you laughing?" He asked. "Will?"

"Nico..." I said, taking the velvet box out of my pocket.

He gasped.

"Oh my gods, I stole your plan!" He laughed.

We giggled like fools, kissing and cuddling. I slipped the ring on his finger. He snuggled up with me on the blanket as I gently combed my fingers through his dark locks.

"I'm sorry..." Nico snickered. "I wasn't trying to steal your thunder."

"I just want to marry you." I said. "It doesn't matter who asks."

[Flashback End]

The phone buzzed as someone on the other end picked up.

"Hey!" Percy said. "What's up, Will?"

{Several Hours Later}

"Will, can we talk?" Nico asked, sitting on the bed.

"Give me a minute." I said.

I got up and went to the dresser. Nico watched as I grabbed a pair of socks then knelt by the bed.

"What are you doing, Tesoro?" He asked.

"Putting fuzzy socks on you so you don't get cold feet!" I said, grinning at him.

He laughed.

"You're so silly." He said. "But that's why I love you."

"So...what did you want to talk about?" I asked, crawling on the bed next to him.

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted a glass of water." He smirked. "You always drink something before bed."

"...oh." I said.

He leaned in and gingerly kissed my lips.

"I'm not getting cold feet. Promise." He told me. "I love you too much for that, Sunshine."

"I love you too, Death Boy." I said.
