Hello people of Earth (or beyond, I won't judge) who read this. Thank you so much for doing so! I'm sorry it took long, but life got in the way. So, five reviews!

And I'm really sorry for having this take so long. I started this shortly after chapter 13, but then….life and school. Ew. By the way...I got so much more than five, so YAY!

Nico XIX

If Nico heard one more sex joke out of either Leo or Percy, we would ignore Will and send at least thirteen zombies to each of them. Haha, he and his boyfriend are sharing a room, that never gets old. He slammed the door and jumped into his own SEPARATE bed.

"Don't let them get to you," Will laughed. "They're just jealous that they don't get to sleep with their girlfriends."

"Percy does," Nico said. "Remember? He went to Tartarus."

"And you went through Hell too if I'm correct," Will said. Nico groaned out a response. "You went in alone, and then got stuck in a jar, and then shadow-traveled the freaking globe?"

"So?" Nico asked. "Leo and Hazel died, Jason's been through demigod life since he was four, Percy and Annabeth, don't get me started on them, and Frank's life depends on a stick. We've all got chips on our shoulder."

"Yeah, but they carry chips, Percy and Annabeth carry boulders, but you?" Will said, sitting next to him. "You have Mt. Kilimanjaro." Nico couldn't help but crack a smile.

"What about you?" Nico asked. "What's your chip?"

"Me? I don't have one."

"Liar. You probably have one somewhere."

"Let's see…" he thought. "No major trouble, got sent to camp early and voluntarily, accepting mom and step-dad. Maybe my chip is my dad's haikus."

Nico had to laugh. "That's the worst chip of them all! And I got his first drafts when I was ten!"

"I know right?"

"For the god of poetry, he sure is terrible at it."

"Nah, just haikus. His limericks are good. Annoying, but good."

Soon both were laughing so hard about Apollo's latest haiku that they forgot about Percy and Leo's teasing. They were just talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's presence for the time until Will got a text on his iPhone.

(Little fun fact: Steve Jobs was the son of Hephaestus who married the daughter of Iris. So really, all of this computers, tablets, phones, everything, was made for demigods. Unfortunately, it wasn't perfected until he died and Tim Cook, a son of Hermes, figured it out.)

"What is it?" Nico asked, nodding to the phone.

"My step-dad. You know, it's almost Thanksgiving and we're not enrolling in school until after break," Will said.

"Oh, right," Nico said awkwardly. He never really had a Thanksgiving. The first few years of his life was with Bianca and they didn't really celebrate the American holiday considering the fact that they lived in World War II Italy. Then was the Lotus Casino, where they couldn't tell what day it was for fifty years, and when he and Bianca were enrolled in Westover Hall, it was after Thanksgiving. Then he lived alone after she died. "Cool."

Will studied his boyfriend's face and body language like a textbook before saying, "Would you like to come?"

"Huh?"

"Would you like to come home with me for Thanksgiving?"

"Why?"

"Why!?" Will said that word as if it were the most ridiculous thing in the world. "Because you're my boyfriend, you deserve to have a Thanksgiving, and my mom and half-sisters are starting to doubt that you exist."

Nico tried to bite down the smile threatening to split his face. "But I'm a guy…"

"But the World War Two homophobia crap," Will said. "I'm gay! You're gay! We're dating! And Mussolini isn't gonna ship us off to Hitler."

"He was my half-brother…"

"Do you like him?"

"No…."

"Then I can safely say that he is a giant jerk." Will said.

"But what about your parents? Aren't they going to hate you?"

"I came out three years ago, and I still have a room and a place in their hearts."

"Well…"

"Come on!"

"Alright! Alright. I'll bite."

"Thank you!" He said, hugging the son of Hades.

"Let me go, you big blonde oaf."

"This oaf nursed you back to health."

"Yeah yeah sure."

Percy

Percy was regretting inviting Leo and Calypso to his house for Thanksgiving. Don't get it wrong, he loved them, but they were….too much is too light of a word for it.

Since Annabeth's parents are already headed to his apartment, she's going. And he invited Hazel and Frank so that they'd have a place to go….and he invited the two Ogygian lovebirds. Thankfully Nico and Will are going to Will's place and Piper invited Jason to meet her dad.

This...this was going to be interesting.
