Solaceangelo and the Stygian iron ring.
(A/N: I had to start with this guy. Get the weird, funny stuff over with first, right?)
Nico was sweating the Phlegathon.
This is weird, even for me, he thought.
As he walked to Will's archery lessons, he didn't know what to do. He'd seen different monsters, gone through Tartarus, and faced so many forms of death, and he was shitting bricks about a simple proposal?
Okay, calm down. It's been five years. He might've been expecting it, Nico thought.
Wait,
Too late to cut and run because when he got there Kayla spotted him. "Hey Will, your patient's here." Kayla teased.
Ohh kay.
"What's up sunshine? You look sick." Will said.
"Um— I—"
Yep, that's it.
"I got you a new— um— bow. You know, for your archery lessons— and whatever. Close your eyes." Nico said.
Will sighed. "You know, we've been dating for five years and I keep asking myself, "What dragged me into this?"" Will said. And he closed his eyes.
Thank you Hephaestus cabin! Nico thought as he brought forth his Stygian iron ring.
"William Phaethon Solace, the number one annoyance of my life, " Nico started and breathed. "Will you rule with me in my ghost kingdom as a fellow ghost king, and marry me?"
Will exclaimed a few words that were definitely not divine, but in a good way. Someone from the crowd was like"bitch whaaaat?"
"Yes, Nicolas, but please don't stop being weird." Will said.
"Trust me, there's plenty more where that came from." Nico said and— you know what? Use your imagination.
