Pairings: Will x Nico, Percy x Annabeth, Jason x Piper, Frank x Hazel, Leo x Calypso
I'm kind of concerned how many people actually wanted the cannibal ending...

Will watched cautiously as Jed closed the door and sat on the couch opposite him. He didn't say anything, instead he looked down at his boyfriend's peaceful face and pulled the boy closer to him.
Naomi went to the closet and pulled out a blanket. Will watched as she opened the checkered blanket and walked over to Will. She draped the blanket carefully over Nico, making sure not to wake the Italian.
Will finally decided to break the silence. He forced himself to look his mother in the eye. "I'm sorry about ruining the wedding. I shouldn't have said the stuff I did. It was inappropriate."
When Naomi didn't say anything Will looked down at Nico and brushed some hair off of his boyfriend's cheek. Once Nico fell into a deep sleep he slept like the dead. Something Will found amusing and adorable. The boy was probably tired from the wedding and shadow travelling. Will felt bad that he forced his boyfriend to do so much. Nico hated socializing, especially with strangers. Will could never understand why Nico hated being around other people but he decided to never question it.
And hey, if Nico spent less time around other people it meant he got to spend more time with Will.
"You really love him, don't you?" Naomi asked.
Will nodded and stroked Nico's cheek, "More than anything."
Naomi sighed. She looked at Jed for help on what to say next.
Jed just sighed, "Come to the reception. There are a lot of people who want to meet you."
Will shook his head, "No thank you."
"No one is mad at you. And you didn't ruin the wedding." Jed tried.
Will didn't say anything.
"We would really like it if you stayed another day." Naomi said softly. "I would really like it. Maybe we could talk and try to come to a decision we both agree with."
"There is no decision. I am gay and I will never not be gay. I love Nico and he loves me. I was gay before I met Nico. Nico is really important to me and he is non negotiable. And if you can't accept that, or you don't understand that, then there is no reason for me to stay."
Naomi sighed. "No, I understand. I just wanted to have a grown up conversation, just you and me, before you leave."
Will looked down again and stared at Nico's face. He really was beautiful, in a creepy adorable goth way. His skin was pale and he looked like an angel. He was Will's angel. Nico didn't know it but Will probably wouldn't have had the courage to stand up to his mom if the son of Hades wasn't there.
"Let's go." Jed said. He offered Will a smile, "I would really like you to be at our reception. You're my son now I would really like to get to know you."
Will didn't say anything. He just watched as Jed and Naomi left the cabin. He looked down at Nico and smiled when he met his boyfriend's dark eyes.
"I thought you were sleeping," Will mumbled softly.
"I wasn't. I was just in a cuddled sleepy state" Nico confessed.
"And you didn't wake up and help me out?"
"I think we should stay the extra day. Your mom is trying. That's all you could ever ask."
"I don't know." Will confessed. "I don't think I could handle her rejecting me again."
Nico frowned and sat up. He traced a thumb against Will's cheek and sighed. "It's your choice. I'm going to take the others back tonight anyways. You can chose to come with us or stay. If you stay I'll come back and we'll figure it all out from there."
"Okay." Will whispered.
"Let's go the reception. There's food there and I like food." Nico said.
Will smiled, "Food is good," he agreed. "Maybe we can have that dance we never end up having."
"Oh, and when did you learn to dance?"
"I'm sure on a wooden floor it's much easier."
Nico laughed and pecked Will's nose. "Okay, let's do something manly before we both turn into hopeless saps."
Will chuckled. "Like what?"
"Punch a wall?"
Will just shook his head. "I like sappy. Sappiness is the meaning of sap there's nothing."
Nico smiled and stood up.
"Food?" Nico asked.
"Food." Will agreed.

Nico and Will had so far managed to avoid everyone and to be honest Will was getting bored. So when he saw all the couples making their way onto the dance floor he decided that he and Nico could finally get their dance. He perked up when he heard the song.
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will grinned and grabbed Nico's hand. "Let's dance!"
Nico frowned and stuffed another mini sandwich into his mouth. "I'm eating." he said once his mouth was empty.
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
Will huffed, "I love this song!"
Nico rolled his eyes.
Will grinned and grabbed Nico's hand. He pulled the boy up and pressed him against his chest. Nico huffed and reluctantly put his arms around Will's neck.
And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
"You suck at dancing," Nico told him. Will just grinned and spun them in a poorly conducted circle causing Nico to stumble and fall on Will.
Will just caught Nico and took a step forward to prevent Nico from falling again.
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Nico adjusted their position so he was leading. Will allowed it and smiled.
"Who knew Hades teaches his sons how to dance." Will teased.
"He doesn't. My mom taught me," Nico confessed.
"And you just let me make a fool of myself?" Will gasped, offended.
"I don't have to do anything. You make a fool of yourself all by yourself."
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
Nico grabbed Will's arm and put it on his hip. "Follow my lead."
Will nodded and watched Nico's feet for a moment before trying to copy him. Once he got the hang of it he looked up to meet Nico's eyes.
"Don't you dare step on my toes," Nico warned.
Will just chuckled.
'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
Will cupped Nico's cheek and smiled. "Cute and a good dancer," he teased.
"Don't call me cute," Nico grumbled.
Will just laughed.
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Nico allowed himself to get pulled closer into Will's arms. They weren't really dancing anymore. Just swaying in each other's arms. Slowly getting closer and closer.
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
Will leaned down and kissed Nico. He didn't care who watched because none of them mattered. All he saw was Nico because Nico was the only one who did matter.
Because Nico is everything.

Song is 'Thinking out Loud' by Ed Sheeran. I don't know why but whenever I hear this song I just imagine Solangelo.
I wanted a cute fluffy chapter before getting to all the serious stuff that is soon to come.
Also I got so many awesome reviews throughout the day that I felt obligated to update. Many of which were disturbing (You know who you are). Maybe it's because I deprived you of updates for so long.
I'm a review slut so review…. (I'm not ashamed)
Tell me what you wish to see. Anyways…..
