I completely forgot that some people might not know what inordinate means, it's basically an excessive amount and as children of the god of riches I figured that Nico and Hazel would be inordinate when it came to buying gifts. They would probably go all out and buy somebody a $4,000 gift if they liked them enough.

I don't own Percy Jackson.

It was Christmas time now and everyone was at the Jackson household as per usual for the holiday. It was a tradition for the seven of them, and on occasion Nico, to go to Percy and Annabeth's for large holidays.

They were just setting down to dinner, which came right before opening presents, when Leo asked what was on everybody's mind.

"So Jason, what terrific gift do you think you got this year?" Leo asked while Percy carved the turkey.

Jason blushed and looked down so that no one would see. For years now Jason had been getting mysterious gifts from somebody on all major holidays and each time it was more extravagant than the last time. No one knew who it was from, but for some reason Frank and Hazel would just exchange looks and smile.

"I don't know…seriously guys won't you just tell me who it is?" Jason asked hopefully, he had been asking them for years now but they all shook their heads and said that it wasn't them. He was starting to believe that they all just did it to mess with him…

"Sorry Grace, but we know just as much as you do…maybe a god has a crush on you." Percy said finally being able to sit down.

Leo piped up then. "Yeah, how else would they be able to afford getting you so many nice things?" He asked.

"I don't know guys, it could be Hazel." Piper said sending her friend a look. "She gets Frank expensive things all the time just because she's a daughter of Pluto."

Hazel tsked. "Nope, not me, as for Frank's gifts; I'm able to get him nicer things just because I'm good with money…maybe Jason just has a secret admirer." She smiled and leaned over the table to help her to the green bean casserole that she had helped Annabeth make.

"Or maybe," Leo said jumping out of his seat and slamming his hands onto the oak wood table so quickly that the top half of him caught on fire, "it's another child of Hades that's doing it!" His head snapped in the direction of Nico. Percy felt the need to pour water over the man so that he didn't catch the table cloth on fire or set off the alarm…that Annabeth turned off every time Leo was over…

Nico choked on his water, causing Jason to have to slap him on the back a few times to get him back to normal. "What the Hades, Valdez what would give you that idea?" He nearly shouted.

Leo pretended to act casual about it, but the other half of his body was starting to catch on fire as well. "Maybe you've got a little bromance going on with MY best friend di Angelo, don't pretend that we don't see you two talking all private like all the time."

"Why would I be the one buying Grace a bunch of expensive gifts? I have better things to waste my money on then Superman here." Nico said rolling his eyes, the sudden hint of pink in his cheeks was something that was hard to hide though. "Besides I put my name on all the gifts I give you people, if anything the most person I would spend on is Hazel; she's my sister after all." He blew his bangs out of his face and pouted.

"It's true; he keeps getting me Superman related things like a running gag so it's not him." Jason said, he really didn't think it was Nico; like he had said he spent quite a bit on Hazel just because she was his half-sister and he did love her.

Leo narrowed his eyes at the male and leaned over the table even though the two of them were sitting at opposite ends of the table. "I don't believe you di Angelo." He said.

Piper threw her water on him. "Calm down Leo, you're burning my food." She said even though the fire just returned in full force the next second.

"Seriously Valdez calm down; you're acting like my Nonno did whenever somebody tried to touch his coin collection." Nico said his nose was scrunched up like it always did when he talked about his family. Slowly, he had been telling them more little things and it made them all quite happy…of course they were still learning the random words that he said in Italian. He never called a relative by an English name; it was always Nonno or cugino, cousin, or sometimes he even called Hazel mia sorella, which they learned easily was some form of sister.

"I refuse to calm down until you admit that you're the one getting Jason all these awesome presents!" Leo shouted. He wasn't actually mad, he was just kind of jealous that he never got any awesome presents…

Nico rolled his eyes. "It's not me; and seriously calm down you're burning the flowers that I took the time to go out and buy for Annabeth since she actually likes to have around the house." He said.

"I agree with Nico, you need to calm down Leo and stop burning my flowers and I swear that if you burn a hole through one more of my tablecloths I'm going to kick you out." Annabeth said sharply. She liked her things to not have Leo's handprints burned into them.

Sensing that the older woman was going to get seriously mad if he didn't back off Leo calmed himself down and sat back in his chair, "I'm going to find out who it is by the end of the night or so help me!" He shouted.

The others only sighed; he was far too determined to figure this out. Jason himself wanted to know as well but not as much as Leo.

Dinner continued as normally as it could for them, there were a few arguments on who was the best Pokémon, Piper, Frank, and Hazel tried to discuss in French and Leo and Nico, despite the former's earlier argument with the latter, tried to have a chat in Italian and Spanish to see how similar the languages actually were.

"Alright, now we open the presents!" Annabeth exclaimed when Percy and Frank, who usually cleaned up after they ate, were finished.

"Whose turn is it to go first this time?" Hazel asked from her spot on the recliner. She was quite happy that she got the chair that was near the fireplace. It was the spot that everyone tried to get.

Since there was at least eight of them each year they took turns opening presents each year, last year it was Percy and the year before was Annabeth, since they were the ones who had started to host the little get together.

Everyone looked at each other and shrugged.

"How about the oldest goes first…so Hazel, and then Nico…" Leo said hoping that the two didn't try and kill him. He always needed excuses to make fun of how old the two actually were.

The others stifled giggles, it was still kind of funny that the oldest two were actually the youngest.

Nico and Hazel exchanged looks; they dealt with Leo's jokes enough to be used to them. But it meant that they got to open their presents first and they were both like little kids when it came to gifts.

"As much as I hate the old person jokes I'm totally okay with going first to open gifts." Hazel said sipping at her coca.

So Hazel went first, she got things that the others knew she would love, including a nice present from Nico like Leo had said he would do. Nico went next, he didn't get much except for a few cookbooks, he loved cooking, and a few new rings. Everyone got things that suited them.

Jason was last; he was always last because it made his surprise gift even more spectacular. As per usual they got him anything to do with Superman and brownies, and they all leaned in eagerly when he got to the last present. It was always wrapped in gold and silver paper.

This year it was just a pair of keys, which confused them all greatly.

"Hold up, there's a note at the bottom…see whose handwriting it is!" Leo said excitedly.

Sadly for him it was a typed out message saying to go downstairs to see what it was. The others eagerly followed Jason downstairs to see it.

"What did you do this time Nico?" Hazel whispered to her brother when they were jogging down the stairs.

Nico looked anywhere but at his sister. He knew he probably shouldn't have done it, but it seemed like Jason would love the gift and he kind of just cracked and got it for him…

"Santo Hefesto! Eso es una máquina hermosa," Leo shouted in Spanish so loudly that people on the street looked at him oddly.

Jason was staring at it in awe; he didn't believe what he was seeing. There with a big blue bow on it was a brand new looking Sportster motorcycle with an imperial gold engine and yet another note attached to one of the handles. This one said that it was run by lightning and from that moment on Jason Grace was in love.

"Seriously Jason, this person must be in love with you…this, this is a beautiful thing." Percy said examining the motorcycle closely. Annabeth wouldn't let him get one since he was known to do stupid things…

"Yeah, he really loves you Jason." Frank said under his breath before getting elbowed roughly in the side by Hazel.

"What did you say Frank?" Jason asked he was pretty sure he just said that a male was in love with him.

"He was just asking if he could have a ride on it." Hazel said with a smile that would fool anyone.

Nico was mouthing thank you to her in Italian. Her and Frank had been nice enough to keep his secret this long, and well Jason was still keeping his secret from way back then.

Jason looked like he didn't want anyone to touch it, but he reluctantly nodded. "We can go out tomorrow." He said.

"Seriously, which one of you guys is it because it sure as Hades isn't me!" Leo shouted to all of them.

Nico picked at the dirt under his nails hoping that no one noticed it was him. "I don't know Valdez; maybe a god really does have a crush on you."

"Or maybe a ninety year old Italian who doesn't know how to tell people that he likes them," Hazel said under her breath.

"What did you say Hazel?" Piper asked curiously.

Hazel smiled. "Nothing at all…Nico, do you want to stay with Frank and I tonight?" She asked.

Nico bit his lip; he knew what was going to come after this. When they got home she was going to tell him that he needed to just tell Jason that it was him and be done with it. It wasn't that he needed a place to stay, he had his own apartment and all but sometimes Hazel and Frank's place was better than his own place. ""Right…of course I will." He said looking down.

"You three should probably get going then, the weather could get bad at any time." Annabeth said looking at the sky. Snow was starting to fall on the ground already.

"You're going to have to tell him one day Nico." Hazel said when they got back to their apartment. "He's going to figure it out one day."

"If he didn't figure it out when I signed my initials on it then he isn't going to figure out it's me." Nico groaned flopping down on the couch.

"Does he even know that you're…you know…" Frank said awkwardly.

"A flaming homosexual that's madly in love with him, yes and no," Nico said dully.

"So he knows you're gay, but you just let that part slide?" Hazel asked curiously.

Nico shook his head. "He's been pointing out cute guys he thinks would be interested in me since I was fourteen yet he still hasn't caught on that it's me giving him random gifts." He sighed. "Stupid Grace."

Hazel gave him a sympathetic smile and kissed him on the forehead. "I still say you should just tell him, he's not that stupid…" She said.

Nico cracked a smile at her. "The day he finds out is the day that I tell everyone else."

Okay so this one is longer and now this story is probably going to have more of a plot then I thought…hope you guys enjoyed it.

Yes, Percy and Frank do the dishes after meal time. It just seems like they would to me. You know, give the girls a break since they did cook after all.

Special thanks to my sister and her friends for giving me ideas for Jason's gift.
