"Hey Will?" Nico murmured as he snuggled closer to his boyfriend. It was Christmas Eve, even though the demigods didn't celebrate it, it was a good chance to get together. Considering the mortal schools let the students out for break.

"Yes, my little angel." Will said while Nico was nuzzling his head against Will's neck.

"Do you remember the day we met?" Nico asked looking at the glowing multi-colored lights of the Christmas tree.

*Flashback*

Nico's POV

I glared at Will, while he was being tended by the Apollo Cabin.

"Seriously, seriously!" I screamed at him but had a feeling I vowed I would never have again. Love. You know, Will is looking pretty hot today. Shit. Why was I thinking these thoughts? I shook my head trying to clear his head. Then, I made the mistake looking into Will's baby blue eyes, sparkling with worry and love. Oh, my gods, his eyes are so perfect, so beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest of his body. What the fudge. Why, why, why? Why did Aphrodite play with my thoughts? I can't, I couldn't love again. After what happened with Bianca and Percy.

"Love is something that can not be avoided, little Nico. Love is eternal", Aphrodite spoke in his head.

"NONONONONONONO!" I screamed as I kicked and scratched. Why were the Fates so cruel to me?

"It's going to be alright, Death Boy." Will spoke softly to me holding him in his arms. "It's going to be alright." I slowly drifted off into the darkness.

Will's POV

I looked down at Nico, pained from the expression I was given. I would do anything to make Nico happy. Death Boy was my one and only true love, ever since the battle between Gaea and the Half-bloods. During the battle, Nico was on the brink of fading to Hades. I panicked using all of his power to save the lonely Half- Blood. My little death angel is looking cute today. How did I not notice before? Shit. I swear Aphrodite is messing with my thoughts. Then I questioned himself, is it Aphrodite or is it just me…

"NONONONONONONO!" the 14- year old shouted breaking my train of thought of love. Shit, something was wrong. Di Angelo was screaming at the top of his lungs while his almost black eyes held fear. Without thinking, I grabbed him up with his arms and began comforting the death angel.

"It's going to be alright, Death Boy." Imurmured softly. "It's going to be alright." As his loved one drifted off into unconsciousness.

*End of Flashback*

"Yeah, I do." Will said looking at the warm glow of the fireplace. It reminded him of his father, Apollo.

"I'm sorry I screamed at you, I was afraid that I would lose you. Like Bianca and Percy." Nico sobbed into Will's sweater. Will had never met Bianca but knew how much she meant to his boyfriend.

"It's okay, my little death angel, there's nothing to be afraid of. You will never lose me" Will said as he slipped into Hypnos's realm. "Never."
