Chapter Sixty

NPOV:

I call Reyna and ask her to attend the wedding, and she happily agrees. She tells Hazel an they both decide to come, bringing Frank and Kinzie. (REYNZIE!!!)

"Oh, Reyna?" I ask.
"Yeah?" She replies on the phone.
"Will you be my best man? Or woman, or whatever."
"Sure." I can practically hear her smile.
"Thanks!"
"No problem! So when is the wedding?"
"We're not exactly sure yet..." I admit. "But we'll tell you when we know."

"Okay then!" She says. "You two have fun, but not too much!" She lowers her voice. "That's for the wedding night."
"Reyna!"

She hangs up as I bite my lip nervously. She had a point. Will will probably want to do something like that in the wedding night, but I don't want to. After what Percy did to me...

"Are you okay?" Will shakes me from my thoughts by walking over and kissing my cheek.
"Huh? Oh, yeah." I nod distractedly, avoiding looking at him.
"No you're not."

He bends down in front of me. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Nico, you can tell me." He says gently. I nod, biting my lip.

"I'm just worried about after the wedding." I say quietly.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"Well, on the honeymoon..." I trail off and look at my feet.
"Nico, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to." Will tells me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"But... I don't want to ruin it." My eyes fill with tears.
"You don't ruin anything." Will engulfs me in a hug. "You make everything better."
"Why do you even like me?" I whisper. Will pulls back and holds me at an arm's length.
"What isn't to like?"

"Everything!" I sigh. "I'm skinny and pale and-"
"Hey, stop putting yourself down!" Will orders me. "You're amazing!"
"How?" I challenge him.
"You're funny, and brave, and very sweet." He tells me.

"But I look awful!"
"Who cares about looks?" Will shrugs.
"You should." I tell him. "You're good looking... You deserve somebody that looks as good as you!"
"I like the way you look." He smiles.
"But-" he cuts me off with a kiss.

When he pulls away, he raises an eyebrow.
"Stop putting yourself down, okay?"
"But-"
"Don't make me kiss you again." He threatens jokingly.
"That's the worst threat I've ever heard." I give him a small smile.

Will wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close, out chests pressed together. Smiling, he looks down at me and gives me a light kiss.
"Love you." He whispers. I try to kiss him again, and he complies.
"I love you too." I mumble against his lips, putting my arms around his neck and pulling him closer.

I'm so sorry for not updating in ages! I have another idea for a fanfiction, but I still need I make a cover, choose a name, come up with a proper plot and even then I might not post it, so... We'll see.
