Daughter of Hades
Chapter 26 -It's Official-
[3rd Person POV]
-
Nico left the car before Will to set up the blanket. This worked well for Will because it meant he could walk up behind Nico and present the flowers to him. Will smiled when he saw the moon shining over the water. Will was suddenly struck with the thought that Percy's father controlled all of it and Percy could control it at will as well.

The thought then struck him that his boyfriend...not boyfriend, not yet, but Nico could raise the dead.

Children of the big three were freaking scary.

Will smiled a little and held the roses behind his back with the two necklaces in his pocket. He saw Nico had finished spreading the blanket out just above the shoreline. Will walked up behind the darker boy and kissed his cheek.

"This is beautiful." He said and Nico turned around.

"You're beautiful." He replied and sat down. Will sat down next to him.

"Nico, I really like you." He started and Nico turned to give him his full attention. Both boys knew where this was going. "And I know we haven't been going out for long but I feel a real connection with you." He pulled the roses out from behind his back and presented them to Nico. Nico smiled at them and took them in his hands.

"Will-"

"Let me finish," Will held a hand up. "Nico di Angelo you are the most amazing boy I've ever met and despite being afraid, you gave me your heart and I graciously returned the favor. Since this is our second date and I feel so strongly about you and I know you feel the same way about me, I'd like to ask you something."

Nico nodded and Will scooted closer. A small salty breeze blew his blond hair into his face and he laughed a little, pushing it out of the way. "Nico, will you be my boyfriend?" He asked lovingly.

Nico smiled the biggest smile Will had ever seen the boy produce and crushed Will in a hug. "Yes," he said, his voice slightly shaking. "Yes, I'll be your boyfriend. I love you, Will."

Will smiled and held Nico tight. "I love you too, you nerd."

Nico laughed and pulled away from the hug. The two lied down on the blanket and started up at the moon and stars. Will brushed his hand against Nico's and Nico grasped it without hesitation.

"I want to tell them." Will said quietly. "I'm don't want to hide how much I care for you anymore."

Nico nodded staring up at the sky. "I...I know..."

"Please, Nico..."

Nico looked over into the pleading eyes of his boyfriend. His boyfriend. The word sounded amazing in Nico's head and he suddenly felt more confident and he squeezed Will's hand.

"Alright." he said finally.

Will stared at him. He hadn't expected him to agree at all, especially not so quickly. "Really?" He asked.

Nico nodded. "Really. I'm ready."

Will leaned over and kissed Nico's cheek. "We'll be fine, I promise. I'm sure they'll all support us and if they don't Sarah, Thalia, Jason and Leo will kick their asses."
