Percy - Ria does not own PJO or HoO even though she wishes she does. Enjoy while I watch Ria beat up my wife with a frying pan.
Bianca's POV
I fidgeted in the dress. It was tight and uncomfortable. The things I do for love. Sigh. Luke was out there somewhere probably also really bored. I fingered the necklace around my neck, lost in thought. I hadn't taken the necklace off, ever. The year after I was adopted, my dads had gotten me another thing to add to the chain for Christmas. A locket with a picture of me on one side and my dads on the other now rests next to the black pendant. The surface of the locket, which was once engraved with "Sole e luna" was now worn down from years of rubbing my thumb over it.
I could hear the music crescendo and it was time for the bride to enter. I stood and lifted the train of Marie's dress. I didn't understand the point of having such a long dress, but it was her special day, not mine. Luke stood next to Sammy in front of the Big House. After long speeches plenty of sniffles from the audience, the couple proceeded to enter a long and deep kiss. Daddy silently gagged and I snickered quietly, remembering the time he had done that when we saw Luke's parents kissing several years ago.
Pretty soon, the reception was underway and I was able to finally get out of the tight dress. Somehow I had managed to catch the bouquet, but I'm not sure I really believe in it. Luke and I started dating a few months after I met my biological dad. Its been 2 years now and I guess we're a great couple?
We're not a normal couple for sure. Luke isn't an egotistical jerk dude and I'm not the type of girl to, well, be girly, but that suits us just fine. Today was our anniversary and we were going to grab dinner, go bowling, and then binge on Netflix until 3 in the morning. So basically a usual Friday night with the added bowling.
We were almost through Despicable Me 2 when Luke got up to get more popcorn. Being the awesome girlfriend I was, I continued watching without him. I was watching Gru get married when Luke started calling me from the kitchen. I stayed in my comfortable position on the couch.
"Bianca. Bianca. Bianca. Bianca, come here. Bianca," he got louder and refused to stop (stubborn as his mom). Finally, I gave up and paused the movie at the moment where they were about to kiss and stomped to the kitchen.
"What do you want?" I half screamed. Luke smiled calmly. Did not see my clearly pissed off face?
"I wanted to tell you something."
"What could you possibly need to tell me that you couldn't come to the living room and say?"
He paused and looked as if he was thinking. "You know. I don't think I really like you anymore."
"What?" Ok. Now I was confused.
"Yeah. Especially your last name."
"What's wrong with my last name?" So maybe my last name was two names, but it wasn't so bad. When you had two dads, some things had to be arranged.
"I just think you should change it." Alright. Now I was seriously pissed off.
"Change it?! To what?!"
"Jackson," he said and then walked out of the kitchen. I stood there taking that in. One...Two...Three…
"Did you just propose to me?!" I stalked after him. He smirked and ran out into the backyard.
"Get back here Jackson! I'm done with you! Son of a hellhound." I paused to catch my breath. I'd chased him around the perimeter of the house several times. Luke crept up behind me and I tackled him to the ground.
"So?" he asked. I kissed him. Once, twice, and then once again to make sure he got the message. Being Percy's son meant he wasn't exactly the sharpest sword in the arena.
"That wasn't a proper he answer," he said, smirking.
"That was a proper question," I retaliated with my own smirk. I climbed off him and stood up. He got on one knee and pulled out a simple box. Inside was a silver ring with black and blue gems. Death and the sea.
"Bianca Maria Solace-DiAngelo, you are my best friend, my most amazing girlfriend, and I love you more than anything, including the ocean. I'm really bad at these speeches, so if you don't like it you can go hurt my mom. Will you marry me?"
"Yes. Yes, yes, yes!" I hugged him and then he put the ring on my finger. It fit perfectly.
"Luke?" I asked, still holding him.
"Yes?"
"2 things. One, did you just friend zone me? And two, how did you know the ring would fit me? Stalker."
He laughed and we walked back inside the house.
Nico's POV
I stared out the window as Luke proposed to Bianca. Will stood above me, holding a pair of binoculars. "Will. They're 10 feet away. You can see them fine," I whispered.
"But Nico," he whined. "It's not spying if you don't have spy gadgets." He pouted and I sighed. Honestly, it was like Will was the child in our household and not Bianca sometimes. I watched Luke put the ring on and something wet slid down my cheek. Wait. I wasn't crying. I looked up. Will was furiously scrubbing his face.
Cue sigh. "Come on, Will. They're coming back inside. Let's go meet them."
We went downstairs and met the couple at the door. "Hi Papa. Hi Daddy. Shouldn't you guys be sleeping?"
"Nah. So, anything exciting happen outside?" Will asked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. I elbowed him to get him to shut up.
"Bianca, Luke, you have my blessings. Luke, if you do anything to hurt my daughter I will sign you up for a personal conference with my father," I threatened.
"And I'll help him hurt you! I know! I'll go toss in the lake in the middle of the night and then leave you out for the harpies. Sound good?" Will offered. Luke looked terrified at this point and I could see Bianca glaring at the both of us. Man, she had one scary glare.
"Dad. Papa," she growled. Will and I were smart enough to back away and give them their space.
I remembered the day Will proposed to me…..
~Flashback~
My phone pinged with another text. Sighing, I pulled it out of my pocket and read the message. "Come to the fountain. Now! :)" was Will's text. Wondering what my boyfriend of 14 months had in store for me, I made my way down to the park where we had our first date. In the center of the park was a fountain where we had our first kiss. Will being Will, we somehow managed to fall in the fountain.
I arrived at the fountain, and, seeing no Will, sat down to enjoy the autumn weather. The crisp breeze tugged at the ends of my scarf as a little girl approached me. In her hands was a flower. "For you," she said and handed me the flower with a note attached. I thanked her and read the note. It read, "Remember that time we found a lost girl and helped her find her mom?" I did remember. We had spent our one year anniversary helping a 4 year old find her mother, but I wasn't sad. It felt good to help and spend time with Will as well.
After a few minutes, Old Eddie, our local old man who just didn't seem to expire, gave me another flower and note. This one read, "Remember when I forced you to wear a yellow shirt and hug random people?" I did. One of the people had been an old man which had then turned into Apollo. It had been so awkward to find out Apollo was stalking us.
In about 15 minutes, several other people had come up to me with more flowers and notes. The ice cream vendor who knew our favorites by heart gave me a note that reminded me about another "fun" day. We had gotten ice cream and my brain froze up. I turned to him asking for a cure, since he was a doctor. His response was a deep kiss. I was red for a week.
More memories flooded back over the next half hour. By that time, almost everyone in the park had giving me a flower and note and I held a bouquet of flowers in my hand, surrounded by scraps of paper being blown away by the wind.
Finally, Will appeared, scratching the back of his head. His usually goofy wide smile was a tiny bit smaller and he looked, nervous? He stood in front of me and then got onto one knee. My mind went blank and I froze as I realized what was happening.
Will smiled up at me and took one of my hands in both of his large warm ones. "Nico. Remember that time I told I loved making memories with you? I meant it with all my heart. You are the one thing I want to see when I wake up in the morning, the one person I want to bug and laugh with, the only person that brings out the best in me and I want it to be that way forever. I want to continue making memories with you for as long we live. Nico DiAngelo, will you marry me?"
A single tear slid down my face and I dropped the flowers as I nodded my head and hugged my new fiance. He slid the silver band onto my hand and we stood as everyone in the park clapped. My cheeks burned, but at that point I simply didn't care.

I hope you enjoyed that. Now for the important part. No one reads the top so I figured I'd put it at the end. One of my close friends recently discovered I was Waterbird72 and asked me to do a collab with her. Her name is EmpressRey and I recommend you go read her fanfictions (they're amazing). I have to credit her for a few of the memories that Nico had. Shout out to EmpressRey for helping me! Important part over. Now go read EmpressRey's fanfictions. Author's orders! (Will - But that's me line!)
