Santa and his Elves
DECEMBER 16th
"Do I really have to do this?" moaned Nico to Will as they sat next to each other by the warm fire in the big house.
"Yes," Will replied, "It's gonna make the little kids really happy and it's not like you'll even have to do much. Anyway, doctors orders."
Nico scowled at the other demigod, "I thought we discussed the fact that you can't go around using that all the time."
"Yeah, well I ignored you. Now get changed quickly," he said chucking a costume at Nico to change into. Sulkily he clenched it against his chest and walked out into the bathroom, now resigned to his fate.
After five minutes or so, Nico walked back in.
"This is embarrassing," he exclaimed pulling the hat he wore further onto his head.
"You look cute!" responded Will, "and this is for future purposes." He pulled out a special demigod proof camera and snapped a photo before Nico could react.
"I'm going to kill you Solace!" he said glaring daggers at Will.
"Maybe later. Look we need to go, Chiron wants us there now."
"Fine," spoke Nico as Will dragged him to the campfire.
When they got to the campfire, lots of little kids were huddled around a big chair which currently occupied nothing. As the boys were walking up, Percy spotted them and called to them.
"Oh my gods Nico, what are you wearing?" he laughed.
Nico stared at the ground, his cheeks pink from embarrassment, as the demigod chuckled at his costume. He was wearing an elf costume decked with a green sort of jumpsuit and a red and white striped thing beneath it. There's was a green hat with a red trimming and bonus pointy ears. His feet were damp from the bad quality fabric curled-at-the-end shoes he wore. Why did he agree to this?
Suddenly though, his situation got a tad better, as Mr D came walking out dressed as Santa.
Nico walked closer to the kids, giggling slightly into his hands, and was approached by one of the little Ares kids, who was actually surprisingly sweet.
"Is that the real Santa," they asked in their cute and innocent voice.
"Of course," Nico smiled. He picked up the little kid and carried them over to the rest of the group, walking up to Santa and setting them on his lap.
"Ho ho ho," Mr D said unconvincingly.
It was gonna be a long night, Nico thought.
