Nico
Nico was so happy this night was finally here. He was finally being his true self. He was finally free from hiding who he loved. On this night, Nico left his cabin with his hand intertwined with Will's, proudly displaying themselves. Will turned to Nico, who was looking around the Camp, still seeming a little uncomfortable. He could see Percy, Jason, Annabeth, and Piper looking at him and smiling. Jason was giving him a thumbs up and Annabeth and Piper looked jealous that Nico had gotten Will Solace. Nico's nervousness was felt by Will, who turned Nico face to look at him, and he said something that Nico needed.
Will said, "look, just ignore everyone else in the world, pretend it is just the two of us here," Will Solace proceeded to kiss Nico. Nico almost passed out from bliss. This was the moment Nico had dreamed about his whole life, and it was happening. When Will ended the kiss, Nico looked over at Jason, Percy, Annabeth, and Piper again. The four of them were flipping out. Jason looked like he wanted to scream into the heavens, "HALLELUJAH!" Piper and Annabeth again looked jealous, and Nico couldn't help it but it made him happy, he had been jealous of Annabeth for a while now because of her relationship with Percy, but not she envied him.
Will again spoke to Nico, "should we leave now? Head to dinner?" Nico looked Will deep in his blue eyes, gods they were beautiful.
"Absolutely," Nico said, Will then whistled and a ghostly cab appeared, and the two of them left camp Half-Blood for their dinner.
It took about 15 minutes for the ghostly cab to arrive at the restaurant, it was a rectangular building with teal walls and chrome plating. Will paid the drivers 12 gold Drachmas, and he then exited the cab. He told Nico to wait, and walked around the car, opening the door for Nico, and helping him out. Above the diner, a huge red neon sign said, The Hercules Diner. It wasn't a place that demigods or monsters frequented, the name was just a coincidence. Will took Nico's hand and brought him inside the restaurant.
"I know it isn't exactly the most romantic setting, but Percy said you liked diners, we could always go somewhere else if you want a more eloquent dinner," Will said while they were walking up to the two, large, glass doors.
"This is perfect," Nico replied, "Percy was right, I do really like diner food." The two boys approached the counter in the restaurant, it was about 6:30 pm, and the place was filling up. Will let go of Nico's hand, which he had to admit, made Nico a little sad, he liked holding Will's hand. It made him feel safe, like nothing could tear the two of them down. Will walked up to the old women who was at the cash register, he told her about their reservation, and she proceeded to grab two menus and gestured for them to follow. She walked up to a small table, meant for two people, in the back corner of the restaurant. This location gave the boys a bit of solitude.
This was, by far, the best night of Nico's life. Will was perfect in literally every way. He was kind and soft, but he could also be stern and protective. He actually was a lot like Percy, they both had muscular frames, were athletes and were fiercely protective of the people that they care about. Yet, there was something about Will that Percy didn't have. It took all night, but Nico figured it out. Why he had only liked Percy, but not fallen head-over-heels for him. Will Solace liked Nico back? At first, Nico wasn't entirely sure if Will really liked him, the idea of someone crushing on Nico was ridiculous. He was a son of Hades, cursed, to live alone for all time because of what his father did to Persephone. Nico must have thought that the curse went away or something, because Will clearly liked Nico. All night, Nico just looked into his boyfriend's eyes, wait, can I call him my boyfriend? Nico wondered, oh why in the Underworld not, Will Solace is my boyfriend. The idea of that made Nico giddy. Tonight was definitely the best night of Nico's life.
