I do NOT own any of these characters, expect for whoever is OC in this.
Also, I apologize for any grammatical/spelling errors
*repeats this for the rest of the chapters*
It had been several years since the Giant War and Nico was now in his early twenties and currently moving into who his house that he shared with his boyfriend. Nico had never been so pleased to by a home and decorate it, as cheesy as that sounded. The son of Hades never had much to call his own or have a place to call home, which was probably why he was so pleased to own a house. He and Will had been carrying boxes in and unpacking from mid-morning to the mid-afternoon and decided they needed a break. They had passed by an ice cream parlor on their way to their new home and decided to walk there. Will, dressed in dark jeans, flip-flops, and a faded t-shirt, eagerly told Nico about his job interview to be an actual doctor while Nico talked about what Hazel had told him of Camp Jupiter. Apparently, Reyna had quit the entire legion all together about three years ago and went to go make a normal life for herself, but her whereabouts were unknown. He was stunned that Reyna would actually quit the demigod life all together, although he had done the same thing with Will last year.
As Nico and Will waited in line to get their ice cream, a young family (mother, father, and daughter) stepped into line behind them. The young woman had piercing dark eyes and a mass of dark hair twisted into a french braid. She held the little girl's hand who had dark brown, but angelic eyes, a spray of freckles across her light brown cheeks, and her dark hair loose and an olive green cap sitting on her head.
The young girl pointed to Nico and Will and asked her mother, "Mommy, why are they holding hands?"
The mother blushed and gave an apologetic look to them, but they just smiled and said it was fine.
"What's her name if you don't mind my asking?" Will asked, trying to be friendly.
"Bianca." the mother replied. Nico stiffened, but nodded at the woman.
"Do you live around here?" the mother asked.
"Yeah, we actually just moved into the neighborhood today."
"Neat. We live around here too."
After both parties grabbed their ice cream, the woman turned and said, "Hey, if you two ever need anything, just give us a call. My name's Reyna by the way." She smiled once more, then walked away, tugging her daughter's hand.
The little girl turned and looked Nico straight in the eyes. "Bye-bye!" She grinned and then continued walking with her mother and father.
Nico smiled softly as he laced his fingers though Will's as they walked back to their home.
