A/N: this is my first story i've actually posted! please read and review...(idk, thats what everyone says) hope you like it!
Nico di Angelo was sitting in the front steps of cabin 13 at Camp Half Blood. It was Christmas Eve and he was waiting for his sister Hazel to finish getting ready so they could go to the mess hall for the big feast. It was about 2 o'clock so it was a late lunch thingy. Hazel, Frank and Reyna had come from California to celebrate for the week then they had to go back. A tall figure walked out of cabin 7 and started walking towards Nico. As the other boy got there, Hazel came out of the Hades cabin.
"Hey Will" she addressed the blond boy. Nico glanced up at Will's captivating sky blue eyes and he pulled Nico up from the steps.
"Thanks Solace." Nico blushed at the contact of Will brushing his hand against Nico's back. They had been dating for a month now but Nico still wasn't used to it. He didn't think he ever would. The only people that knew about them were Jason, Percy, Piper, Annabeth, and a couple of the older Apollo campers that Will was close with. They were planning on telling the others when they came for Christmas.
Nico and Hazel linked arms and headed to the mess hall with Will walking beside them. The year round campers were already seated at the tables, not following the rule of only sitting with your siblings at your godly parents table. They sat down at the Big Three table where Jason, Piper, Frank and Reyna were already sitting. Jason winked at Nico and Will as they sat down next to each other on the bench.
"Don't forget to eat things other than cookies, Neeks. Doctors orders" Will said, smiling. Nico glared at him then offered a mischievous grin, "Ok Doctor Solace." As Chiron started talking about why they celebrate Christmas at camp when all their parents were gods and they didn't believe in all the christianity stuff, Annabeth and Percy burst into the mess hall.
"Guys!...outside…..gods….quick…" she panted. Everyone jumped up and headed outside, just as another god materialized.
"Hello children!" Apollo said to the group of his kids that had gathered around him.
"Merry christmas! Annabeth, where is that dope headed boyfriend of yours?" Poseidon chuckled. "Hi dad, nice to see you to" Percy grumbled good-naturedly. The gods greeted their children and Apollo came up to Nico. "Your dad couldn't make it because of a last minute problem in the Underworld, but he asked me to tell you Merry Christmas and also from myself, if you break his heart i will break you. He loves you Nico di Angelo. Keep him happy" Apollo walked away. Nico didn't need to ask who the sun god was talking about, he knew he was telling Nico to stay with Will and make him happy for the rest of their exitsence, it was just like the stereotypical dad on their daughters first date. He wondered how Apollo knew they were together though.
After dinner Will found Nico and took his hand. "Should we tell them now?" he asked his boyfriend. Nico blushed, but nodded. "Yeah , probably. I'm just worried about how Hazel will react to my being gay. Since she was born in the 30s. Ya know."
"It'll be fine, I honestly don't think she'll care much." he reassured Nico. they went over to where the kids from Camp Jupiter were. Jason and Percy were with them and Jason gave them a thumbs up. "Hey...hey guys. We...we have something to t-tell you" Nico stuttered. Percy grinned from ear to ear. "Me and Will a-are dating." Nico's face was as red as a tomato and he buried his face in Will's shoulder.
"I knew it! You owe me five drachmas Frank!" Reyna yelped. She beamed at the couple and congratulated them. "Nico I'm so happy for you! I knew there was something going on between you and Solace!" Hazel said.
"Y-you guys are betting on us?" Will asked, unsure. Jason and Percy snickered and nodded.
"Everyone bets on you guys. Your the cutest couple in either of the camps!" Jason said. Nico glared at them and picked up a clump of snow. He then shoved it down Jason's shirt. He yelped and did the same to Nico. it soon turned into a huge snowball fight once the others joined in.
"Teams!" "build a fort" "hit her" "Hey!" there was lots of yelling and Annabeth and Piper joined their boyfriends teams and started bombarding eachother with snow. Will, Nico, Reyna, Jason and Piper were one team and Annabeth, Percy, Hazel, Frank and leo (who hadn't missed the chance to put snow in someones pants) were the other team. Calypso was watching but chose not to join in. Nico summoned some skeletons and they reinforced the fort and made snowballs at Nico's command.
"Come on Will!" Nico cheered as Will hit leo squarely in the face. Jason snuck over the enemies lines and came up behind Percy and stuffed snow in his underwear.
"AHHHHHAHAAA COOOOLD!" Percy howled. "JASON GRACE I WIll GET YOUUUUU" He laughed and chased Jason onto the frozen lake where campers were ice skating.
Suddenly Nico felt a presence behind him as Annabeth pulled back the collar of his jacket to put snow down it. "Haiya!" he whipped around and threw a snowball at her. "Oh no you don't!" he chased her back to her side of the game.
Soon, the gods left and Chiron made them all go back to their cabins. Will walked Nico back to his cabin and they stood out front. Will held Nico's hands in his and pressed their foreheads together. Will's cheeks were flushed red from the cold and his blue eyes smiled along with his lips. Nico leaned up and closed the distance between them. despite the cold weather, Will's soft lips were warm. He shadow traveled them into his cabin, still kissing. They pulled apart to catch their breath and smiled crazily at each other.
"That was a great first kiss, Neeks" Will declared. "We should do it again sometime." Will helped Nico take snow gear off and this time it was Will that kissed Nico. Then Will headed to his own cabin, beaming.
