Why did I choose to forfeit my lunch period at school? Why...?

Not to mention my 10 extra curriculars.

Pray for me.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o

"Morning, Sunshines! I'm Will Solace, and this is my boyfriend, Death Boy!" Will smiled and threw an arm around Nico.

Nico glared. "How many times have I told you not to call me that?!"

"Aww, come on. You like it."

"Shut up."

Will pecked him on the cheek, which elicited a punch from Nico on the shoulder. Probably to hide the blush that crept up onto his cheeks.

Will laughed and rubbed the area where he had been hit. "Don't forget to click that red subscribe button and the post notification bell so that you never miss a moment of his cuteness."

"I'm leaving." Nico got up from his seat on the picnic bench beside Will. He proceeded to walk away, towards the duck pond, to exit the park.

"Nico, nuuuu!"

Jason had to leave his post from behind the camera to go get him. After a few cuss words, Nico was returned to his seat beside Will.

"Okay, enough dilly-dalling," Nico made a face at Will. Really? Dilly-dallying? "You're probably wondering why we're in the park at a picnic table with a bunch of mysterious paper bags?"

"I know I am," Nico said.

"Well it's because we're doing the Eat It or Wear It Challenge: Couple's Edition!" Will exclaimed.

"What's that?" Nico asked.

"In these bags are a bunch of mysterious items our crew bought, shout out to Camera Man Jason Grace, Sound Producer Percy Jackson,"

"You mean mic handler?" Nico corrected.

"And our PA's Cecil and Hazel, Editor Lou Ellen, and Production Coordinater/Producer Annabeth!" (A/n: Piper has her own channel, which is why she is not part of the crew. They all work with her too, including Nico.)

Leo jumped on screen. "With additional support from the Supersized McShizzle!"

"Get out, Leo!" Nico threw a pen at him.

(A/n: He was too busy with Leo and Calypso's Garage: Auto Repair and Mechanical Monsters. But he did come seen them whenever they filmed a shoot near his shop. The park was relatively nearby, and it was Harley's shift anyways.)

He bowed and then ran off to the playground.

"We don't know what's in the other person's bag, but I'm looking through mine and daaaamn. You're screwed, Nico." He grinned down at his bags, especially the last one.

"Same to you, Solace." Nico had this scarily mischievous look.

"Nico, do you want to go first?" Will asked, with a smirk.

"Of course, I ain't no-"

"FAMILY FRIENDLY CONTENT!" Will quickly interrupted. Nico rolled his eyes, Cecil snickered.

"Since I know how much you love spicy food, let's start with these." Will pulled out a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos.

Nico looked appalled. "Will!" Everyone knew that Nico had a horrible intolerance to spice.

"Eat it or wear it?" He asked, a cocky smirk plastered on his face.

"You're a horrible person. Wear it," Nico grumbled.

Leo pouted and said something about it being a waste of a perfectly good snack.

Will used the Cheeto Dust to draw little squiggly hearts on Nico's face, it was surprising just how sticky that stuff was, but they promptly fell away when Nico shook his head.

"Hey!" Will said indignantly.

"Oops," Nico replied innocently. "Your turn."

Nico pulled out one of Will's worst enemies. Sardines.

"Ew, gross!" Will exclaimed. Percy made an indignant noise, like he was offended. Will couldn't tell if it was because he said it was gross or because he was about to eat or wear one of his loyal fish subjects, probably both. Percy was a sort of reverse Peskiterian and didn't eat fish, for obvious reasons. "Fish are friends, not food," he'd say.

"Eat it or wear it?" Nico taunted.

He debated whether he wanted to gulp down those slimy fish or have them linger on his body for the rest of the video. "Eat it," Will answered miserably. Nico popped open the tin and Will was overwhelmed by a strong fishy scent. He gagged.

"You're not allowed to puke this up," Nico ordered.

"No promises."

He opened his mouth and allowed Nico drop one in. Will chomped down and recoiled at the taste. They were slimy and gross. Nico was enjoying every minute of this. He finally managed to swallow, but struggled to keep it down.

"I'm so getting you back for that," Will gagged.

Nico smiled adorably.

Will pulled out another bag of Chips. "Pringle's. Jalapeño." Will knew Nico's pride wouldn't allow him to pick 'Wear it' again."

"Eat it, or wear it?"

Nico looked at them with disgust. He sighed. "Eat it."

Will put two into Nico's mouth, like duck bills.

When Nico gave him a murderous look, he just looked like a duckling going through an angsty teenage phase, glaring at his momma duck.

A duck from the pond behind them quacked.

Nico tried to say something, but couldn't with the chips between his lips.

"Can't understand you. You've gotta eat them," Will teased.

Nico just glared.

Will rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll help." He awkwardly put his lips around the Pringles, but ate them anyways. "Aw come on, those weren't even spicy!"

"Shut up." Nico was an adorable red tomato.

"Where did the Pringles even go?" They were not on the table, where they were before.

Will looked up at the sound of a loud crunch. Cecil was holding the container, but Jason's, Percy's, and Leo's hands were stained too.

"Cecil!"

Cecil quacked at him through his duck bills.

"You better not kiss him too," Nico teased.

"Why would I ever?" Will raised an eyebrow at his strange friend. Because he's the strange one.

"I'm still punishing you." Oh gods.

Nico was holding a little baggie. "Assorted Bugs," was written on the cover in bold, black letters.

"Who got these?!" Will practically screeched.

Cecil joined in with Nico's laughter. They were practically rolling on the ground.

Will's eye twitched.

"Eat-" Nico gasped, trying to compose himself, "Eat or wear," gasp, "it."

Will glared. "You-"

"Family friendly content!" Nico taunted. Oh how he loved to torture Will.

Will sighed. "I mean... they're supposed to be high in protein... eat it... I guess."

Nico sniggered and opened the bag. Using a spoon he scooped up an assortment of ants, dismembered grasshoppers, and what seemed to be a maggot or a worm. Will was sure it was the first time he had ever prayed for something to be a worm.

"I can't do this," Will's face was screwed up in disgust.

"Maybe a kiss will help, probably the last sweet thing your lips will touch in a while," Nico wiggled his eyebrows.

He should've known something was up right then and there. Nico hated PDA.

But he agreed and puckered up his lips. Nico shoved the spoon in there.

"Ah!" Will yelped and leaned away. They were crunchy but flavorless. He had expected them to be like how they seemed in The Lion King. Juicy and succulent. He couldn't decide which was better.

"Nyagh nyagh nyagh," he withdrew his tongue and chewed with his mouth open, trying not to tase it. He swallowed. "Ugh."

"You have a little something," Nico pointed between two of his own teeth.

Will picked whatever it was. A grasshopper leg.

"I'm gonna puke."

"Not on me!" Nico held up his hands.

"They were crunchy!"

Everyone was cracking up.

"Think this is funny? How about this." Will pulled out a can. Black pudding.

They kept going. Nico had whiskers made of black licorice, which he didn't mind much, saying he looked like Daniel Howell, so Will took some and made himself Phil.

A stargazy pie, dog food, potted meat, and cold, deep fried butter later, it was Nico's turn. The last round. And only one bag left.

Will felt the sweat on the back of his neck and back, which was mixing with the meat Nico put down his shirt. He couldn't believe he was about to do this, especially with a fish pie on his head, but he was doing it.

His heart was pounding.

His pulse was rushing.

"Last bag, Sunshines."

He got up from his seat on the bench. Everyone looked at him questioningly, but Piper would have understood if she were here. She's always had that sort of intuition.

He got down on one knee, and watched as realization dawned on his adorable boyfriend's face. He raised his pale hands to cover his mouth, tears brimming in his eyes.

"Nico di Angelo..." he pulled a small black box from the paper bag. He opened it to reveal a shining silver ring on a velvet pillow. "Eat it or wear it?"

Nico rubbed his face and combed his hair back. "You're such an idiot. Even Leo proposed in a better way than this."

"So..."

"I'll wear it, you fucking idiot." He laughed and wiped the tears from his eyes. He practically jumped onto Will, passionately kissing him. Salty tears mixed into the kiss as Will found Nico's hand and slipped the ring on. The world faded away around them, it was just the two of them.

"EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!" A shrill scream startled the newly engaged pair. They pulled apart to see Jason and Percy, hugging and screaming. They were almost crying as much as Nico and him. Any passerby would think they were the two getting married. Hazel ran over and crushed the two in a hug, with strength Will didn't even know she had. She cupped Nico's face in her hands and held their foreheads together. Jason and Percy ran after them and tackled them to the ground. Cecil and Lou Ellen followed, crushing Will. Lou was so happy for them that random objects around them turned into frogs. At least it wasn't as bad as Leo, who was so excited that he spontaneously combusted right then and there, and had to jump into the duck pond to cool himself off. Annabeth was calling Reyna, Frank, and Calypso over a Group FaceTime to tell them the news.

And in the center of it all, the two newly-engaged college-graduate boys were crying and kissing. Nico pulled away. "You taste like sardines."

Will laughed. "Guess I know what to make for dinner every anniversary."

"You're gonna make all of this for anniversary dinner every year? Gods bless your souls," Jason said.

"I'm just glad he didn't eat the ring," Percy sighed.

And every year since, they would watch the film over and over again. They would watch a dumb boy with a pie on his head get down on one knee, and a nauseous little Death Boy making the best decision of his life.
