Tricks, not Treats

Request for @Kawaii_Eren_Aot! This is kind of an au, basically everything is the same but the demigods go to school. This also starts two days before halloween, an important detail that didn't seem to make it in. Enjoy!

Nico's POV

Will slid into his social studies seat, letting his backpack thud to the ground. He looked angry, his face beet red, making his freckles pop. He glanced over to the other side of the classroom, where Trey and his goons were laughing about something I couldn't hear. I nudged him gently, glancing up into his face. 

"Did something happen?" I asked gently. Will slumped down, his arms crossed over his chest. 

"It's fine," he responded. "Don't worry about it." 

"Will, if something happens you know you can tell me, right?" I asked. 

"Yeah, us demigods have to stick together," Percy said, poking his head between us. 

"Percy, keep your voice down," Jason hissed, glaring at Percy. Percy soundlessly imitated Jason and bickering ensued in the row behind us and I put a hand on Will's arm.

"Come on, talk to me," I pleaded. 

"It's just Trey again," Will sighed. I glanced over to Trey again to see his friends laughing hysterically, occasionally looking at Will. I felt anger begin to course through my veins and I had to fight it down so that an army of skeletons wouldn't pop out of the ground. Chiron had been very specific when he sent us to high school. No summoning anything, no matter the situation, or he'd pull us out of school and we'd never see the light of the outside world again. 

"Oh, he's going to get it one day," I muttered. "I'm sick of him treating you like dirt. It's because we're dating, isn't it?" Will nodded, and it took every shred of willpower not to sent an army of skeletons to the group of three sitting at the other side of the room. 

"I have an idea," Percy offered. "You might not like it, but it's an idea." Will and I turned around, facing the double smirks of Percy and Jason's face. 

"What is it?" I asked. 

"It involves using our powers," Jason said. 

"You guys know we're not allowed to use those, right?" 

"Hear me out," Percy begged. "The three of us are the children of the most powerful gods there are, and we're letting our powers waste away. I think it's time we had a little bit of fun." 

"At Trey's expense, of course," Jason added. I raised an eyebrow. 

"I'm listening," I said. I looked at Trey again, and then looked back at Will's sad face. Any other time I never would have even thought about breaking Chiron's rule but now that someone had hurt my boyfriend, I was willing to do anything. 

Will's POV

It was chilly when we crouched behind Trey's mother's rose bush halloween night, groups of trick or treaters rushing by, clad in costumes of all sort. Jason and Percy were dressed in all black, masks covering the majority of their faces. Inside, we could see shadows darting around, chugging soda from a two liter bottle and laughing loudly about something. "You know you don't have to disguise yourselves, right?" Nico asked. "No one's going to see us." Jason shrugged. 

"Lighten up," Percy said. "This is supposed to be fun." Nico rolled his eyes. 

"This is supposed to be for revenge, remember?" Again, Jason shrugged. 

"Same difference," he responded. "Now, are we doing this or not?" 

"Yeah," Nico sighed. "Jason, you're up." Jason raised his hands, and instantly a clap of thunder split the air. I could see trick or treaters glancing up in worry, hurrying to the other side of the street, the one that, to them, must have been suspiciously clear. The shadows on the inside stopped moving, and one came to the window, thrusting it open. 

"Is it raining?" Trey called out. The person at the window stared up at the sky, looking puzzled. 

"There isn't a cloud in the sky," he responded. Jason sent a lightning bolt spiraling down to the ground, hitting just a few yards away from the window and the boy let out a squeak, slamming the window shut. Jason grinned, sitting back and thumping Percy on the back. 

"Your turn," he grinned. 

"Can you really do this?" I asked, my eyes wide. Percy shrugged. 

"Lets hope so," he said. "Although my mom was pretty mad when I did it to our apartment, so I think I'll be fine." He closed his eyes and I watched in awe as with a tiny twitch of his finger he made the plumbing in the house explode. Through the window I could see water shooting up from the sink, the shadowy figures inside screaming, one attempting to hit the water down with a pillow. Another thunder clap echoed through the sky and the screaming got louder.

"It's a ghost!" Trey screamed, grabbing onto the person closest to him, trembling with fear. "We're all going to die!" I could see an evil grin on Nico's face as he raised his arms, the ground splitting and the final part of the plan crawling out of the ground, the zombies pounding on the door. I could hear outright sobbing as the zombies began to pry open the windows, climbing inside. I knew that the zombies would never hurt the three boys, but even so it was fun to watch my tormentors so scared. 

Nico collapsed into my arms, his eyes fluttering as he fought to stay awake, a grin plastered on his face. "We got them," he smirked. "We got them good. Is this everything you dreamed it would be?" 

"This is more than I could ever hope for," I responded, giving Nico a quick peck on the lips. "Come on, we should get out of here before Trey stops being scared." I pulled him up off of the ground and the four of us walked out into the night, merging with the group of trick or treaters as Trey's terrified screams echoed behind us. 

------

Nico and I passed them in the halls the next day, looking severely shaken but fine overall. Trey was as white as a ghost, but he still managed to sneer at me. "What are you looking at?" he spat, but his tone didn't have the same bravado it had contained earlier that week. It was as if all of his power over me had been stripped away overnight, and I couldn't have been happier. 

"I wouldn't talk to us like that, Trey," Nico advised. "The zombies might come back." Trey went slack-jawed, his  eyes going as wide as saucers. 

"How did you-" he stuttered as Nico grabbed my hand and we began to walk away. "I know you're responsible for last night!" He screamed behind us. "I'll prove it!" Nico rolled his eyes. 

"He can't prove a thing," he smirked. "Come on, we'll be late for our next class." We weaved our way through the crowds, Trey still yelling behind us. 

Hi guys! I hope you liked that one!
