Nico Di Angelo - Shadows

The darkness was a beautiful thing. The shadows of the cabin swallowed (M/N) whole. The warmth of his cabin only making him wonder why he wasn't asleep. Shadows stood still in the corners, standing like tall pillars of inky black. (M/N) tossed and turned in his bunk. His mind a mess of shadows, but not in a depressing way.

You see (M/N) fell in love with the Prince of Shadows, or better known as The Ghost King; Nico Di Angelo. (M/N) loved the dark, and never feared it. Even at a young age. He was so fascinated by the things in the dark, and the people controlled it. Now even if Nico didn't technically control all shadows, (M/N) liked to think he did. And that Nico was partially in every shadow, always there like he'd promised. A comfort he'd pledged years ago when they met. When (M/N)'s thoughts weren't dark in a good sense.

(M/N)'s blanket felt like a heavy weight on his restless form. He looked to the ceiling. His (e/c) eyes studying the wood grain. Tracing the natural maze of a trees inner rings, trying to find a way for him to sleep.

He was trying to think of a way to ask Nico out. He wanted to make it known to everyone Nico would be his boyfriend, but he knew Nico didn't like large amounts of attention on him so he dismissed the thought. He thought of asking Nico when they were alone, but the thought of telling the son of Hades how he felt made his stomach churn with a sea of nerves.

"This is ridiculous." He mumbled to himself. He rubbed his palms to his eyes, sighing.

Then a thought came to him. He sat up. Throwing the blanket from his form and sighing. He looked around his cabin again. Looking to see his sibling(s) were asleep. Resting soundly in the beautiful darkness of the lodging. He glared at their sleeping form. Why couldn't he sleep while they slept perfectly at peace. He stood and walked to his dresser. Silently throwing on a (c) sweater over his t-shirt. He went to the door, putting on some shoes, and slipping out of the warmth of his cabin. The lake air seemed to slap him with cold. He rubbed his arms and began towards his crush/best friends cabin.

He stiffly walked towards the cabin. The moon his only guide as he wandered through the shadows. (M/N) prayed to (G/P) as he walked. Hoping he wouldn't loose his best friend because of his feelings if it went south. He quietly stepped up to the front door of Hades cabin. Rubbing his arms he knocked on the door.

He heard a groan from inside the cabin. (M/N) bounced on the balls of his feet, his heart racing as he waited.

The door opened, and a disheveled Nico stood in the doorframe. His obsidian locks a mess, and tired brown eyes- which were now glaring at him. (M/N) swallowed the nerves blocking his throat and smiled.

"Hey Nic-"

"What do you want? I was asleep." He said, yawning soon after. (M/N) chuckled at the adorablness of Nico's sleepy state, but shivered. A gust of wind blowing up (M/N)'s sweater.

"C-can I come in and talk? It won't take long I promise." (M/N) asked. Nico sighed.

"Can't it wait?" He groaned. (M/N) shook his head.

"If I wait I won't say it. That's the whole point of me coming to your cabin this late." He whined. Nico groaned in frustration, but opened the door allowing the other boy enter his cabin.

"Hurry up... I'm tired." Nico mumbled.

"Dead tired?" (M/N) grinned. Nico's brown eyes snapped to (M/N)'s as he glared.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah." (M/N) nodded, with a small laugh. Nico rolled his eyes, and walked over to his bed sitting on the mess of blankets. (M/N) felt his anxiety grow as he stood before The Ghost King.

"So?" Nico asked, completely unamused about being awake at the time it was .

"So, well... Nico I have a-uh... Queer query, for you?" He said. Nico squintted at the son of (G/P).

"What?" He asked.

"Nico, I uh really like you. Like- more than friends. And... Wouldyougoonadatewithme?" He stuttered, racing the last sentence. Nico blinked in confusion.

"What?" Nico whispered. (M/N) sighed and took a breath.

"Nico, would you go on a d-date with me?" He asked, a complete blushing mess. Nico's eyes widened. Even in the darkness he could tell (M/N) was blushing. So he knew he wasn't joking in the slightest.

"Y-yeah." Nico stuttered. (M/N)'s eyes widened as he smiled.

"Oh thank the Gods. I was scared you'd say no." (M/N) sighed. His mind a lot lighter now that he finally asked Nico out.

Nico stat on his bed blushing intenesly.

"So, do you wanna go on that date now?" Nico asked. (M/N) blinked in surprise.

"W-well we could I guess?" He stammered. Nico stood, and gestured for (M/N) to stand beside him.

"I want McDonald's so, c'mon." Nico said holding his hand out. (M/N) bashfully took his hand as a bright darkness surrounded him. Nico looked over as they shadow traveled and saw for the first time someone stared at the darkness around them. (M/N) awed at the darkness before they dropped into a McDonald's parking lot.

The couple looked around and (M/N) extended his arm and smiled.

"Shall we?" He asked, Nico smiled and took the boys arm.

"We shall." He laughed.

Now you may question, did they go on a second date? Did they fall in love? Did they move in together? Did they get married? Did they adopt a few kids? Did they grow old together? Loving eachother till the end of time?

Yes.

But a more important question is; did either of them being a wallet?
