nico pov.

After i hugged will we all settled back down in the couch and chairs. Socks settled herself on my lap and was purring while i pet her.

"how about we take turns. like at my turn, everyone opens the present from me. or i open all the presents for me. i don't know we could just do a free for all." hazel shrugged, sipping her cocoa.

"the first. at your turn we all open your present. that sounds good." i said.

"yeah."

"sounds good."

"poggers."

"wtf does poggers mean?"

"cool or good job or sounds good."

"poggers."

"can we start now?"

"yeah. lets go alphabetical." piper suggested.

"no! i wanna go last!" leo interuppted. "mine is gonna be the best."

"ill go before leo." i said. "Annabeth goes first."

"ok." annabeth started handing out boxes. mine was wrapped in black and white striped paper and had a big red bow on the top.

"3...2...1...open!" we all began ripping open the boxes.

inside was a big, dark purple, camp jupiter sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. i gasped and pulled them out.

"choruses of ohhs and awws echoed as everyone pulled out what annabeth got them. percy had gotten a big blue sweatshirt and a ton of little mermaid merch. everyone looked a bit nervous at that, since we all probably got him that too.

after that, frank went, and we all ripped ours open with just as much enthusiasm. frank had gotten me a new sketchbook and some art supplies. hazel had gotten a big panda onesie which she immediately pulled on and curled up in, beaming.

after frank, hazel went. as she passed out the boxes, she started giggling. when we opened them, she was laughing so hard i thought she would burst.

inside the boxes she gave me were some pajamas with skull print, a black sweatshirt that said death breath on it in greek, and rainbow socks. she had also gotten matching ones for Sock, which i immediately put on her. i also got a small box of candy.

hazel gave Jason pajamas with lightning bolt, a blue sweatshirt that said Blonde Super-man on the front and sparky on the back, and socks with air molecule cartoons on them. he also got mint chocolate-kisses.

hazel got Piper had gotten a purl-pink sweatshirt that said beauty queen, pajamas with hearts, socks with feathers on them, and dark chocolate with a candy cane.

from hazel, Percy had gotten a t-shirt with a picture of Sebastian the lobster from little mermaid and big letters that said "UNDER THE SEA". Percy squealed like a little girl at that. he also got pajamas with a seal picture all over them and socks with waves, and some caramels and blue candy canes.

hazel got leo spicy foods, a red sweatshirt that said repair boy in flaming letters, pajamas with flames, socks with tools, and a new box of breath mints for his tool belt (which had recently run out, much to leo's disappointment.

hazel got Annabeth a grey sweatshirt that said owl-face, shirt with a booknerd meme, fuzzy socks with no print, a new architect book, blank blueprint paper, and some earrings.

hazel got frank a onesie as well, except it was just a black bear, a white sweatshirt with Chinese-Canadian Baby-Man on it (percy started coughing really hard after choking on his spit from laughter) pajamas with eagles, and socks with bears. he also got a kiss on the lips, from hazel which made him blush very hard.

hazel had gotten Will, who had been pulled into our unfortunate friend for making me not an asshole, a yellow sweat shirt that said Doctors Orders. i had to keep myself from glaring at her. now will won't even have to say it, he'll just point at his shirt. i guess i couldn't really talk given that i had gotten him a literal button that said it. he also got socks with little cartoon suns.

hazel also got herself one because we all needed to match, and it was purple with "Ms. Metal detector" on it.

jason gave everyone new weapon holders/sheaths with the exception of percy, who got a matching sweatshirt that said, "My Bro" with an arrow pointing to his left. Piper and Jason had to switch spots in order for it to actually point to jason. that was gonna cause a lot of problems.

Piper got everyone but me a ton of candy and claimed she didn't know what to get so just got what she knew we would all want. she had to charm speak leo in to not eating all of his. she had only known what to give me. a black t-shirt with rainbow dancing skeletons, black nail-polish, and eyeliner.

"slaaaay queen." she had said to me, laughing.

Percy had also gotten everyone sweets, but they were everyone's godly parent associated color. frank red, hazel rainbow, annabeth greys yellows and purple, me black and red, leo orange, will yellow, piper pink, jason blue. of course we all got a seperate bag of blue candies and chocolate chip cookies made by sally jackson.

leo insisted on going last, even though i had claiming it was the best thing we were gonna get.

Will got everyone, except me, Books and socks and blankets. i hadn't even noticed that he hadn't given me one because i was playing with Socks (the cat not the thing that goes on your feet) until hazel said, "what about nico?"

will laughed "are you kidding? im giving him the amazing gift of my friendship!" everyone laughed. "kidding, its under the tree." i stood up, carrying Socks in my arms, and grabbed the bright yellow box that said "NICO/DEATH-BEATH" in big capitol letters. i sat back down on the couch and let Socks sniff the carefully wrapped package. i opened it slowly, eyeing will suspiciously.

inside was a pride flag. regular sized, and vibrant rainbow. i gasped.

"oh my gods! thank you!" i hugged will again, more passionate this time since no one was watching. there was more in the box though. small pins and braclets, chocolate, and a tone of art stuff. there was also another box inside.

when i tore open the small box, my eyes widened. it was a phone! and apple phone. the iphone 11.

"you didn't." i said as i pulled it gingerly out of the box. my jaw dropped when i saw the custom phone case on the back. it was a cartoon sun and angel, with the words "you are my sunshine" along the side in greek. everyone gasped.

"this is amazing! dude how did you even get his?" i asked.

"savings from my mom." will shrugged.

"you know I'm a grandpa with technology." i said. "and wont this attract monsters?"

"talk to leo." will says. i turned to said person.

"ok ok ok! i cant hold back anymore!" leo reached into his tool belt and began throwing small boxes at the others. they all caught them.

"custom made! look like apple phones, work like apple phones, and they don't attract monsters! i put a chip in them that completely cover the sent! will's sibling alex did the cases, they like to work with rosin and stuff!" leo burst before they even opened the boxes.

"no way dude! you got us phones! thanks man that's so cool!" percy said and ripped open the box. everyone had custom cases and stickers we could choose.

after we got over our shock and added each other to contacts, i finally passed out mine. there were two boxes for each person. one had a big canvas with a painting of the persons best moment, and the other had a box of small goodies. custom notebook with the person's name and nickname, a pen, candy, custom mug with the person's name and nickname, socks, jewelry, and a clay mushroom with their favorite color. i passed out the goody boxes first, and while they opened them i got the painting from a compartment under my bed. i had wrapped them in plain white paper and labeled them with the person's nickname.

as they marveled at the boxes full of colorful joys, i set the canvases next to the person.

"ohh yay there's more!" Percy said. annabeth scolded him for being selfish, but he tore it open quickly.

on percy's canvas was a detailed painting of him drowning his blue pancakes, on annabeth's was her blushing super hard after being found in the stables, on pipers was her after being claimed by Aphrodite, dress and all, on leo's was him getting scared by piper and catching on fire, his face caught at the perfect moment. hazel got one of her riding arion for the first time, her expression priceless, frank's had him as a dragon as we kidnapped percy from camp jupiter, jason's was separated into several different shots, one of him eating a stapler, and several of him getting hit by bricks. on will's was him during the war, his dark cloths and black face paint, watching Octivian catapult himself into the sky.

"damn nico! this is good!" piper said. "you've been busy!"

"yeah. i visit rachel too often." i said. we had become good friends. everyone else was still busy gawking at the paintings.

after they recovered from their shock, nico started making everyone else some coffee and tea before they headed to brunch at the pavillion.

bundling themselves up, everyone started making teams for the epic snowball fight that was about to happen with all the campers.

'"cant we just do normal things that normal people do, like, go for brunch?" "wot thu fock is bronch."' keeps playing in my head.

anyway, chaters a bit longer, and yes it was kinda just a filler. might update sometime soon idk. sorry this sucked so bad.
