I know some of you are curious about why Leo was so angry, and I will write a one-shot on that later. But I kind of like the cliffhanger so I'll just write some one-shots for prompts I found online. This one is a little sad but I loved the idea.
Nico had seemed a little down during the past few days. And whenever Will tried to ask him about it, the son of Hades would just smile and say nothing was wrong. But Will knew his boyfriend better than that.
So he did a little digging around and started to ask around. No one really knew much, at least until Will asked Hazel what was going after breakfast. Hazel looked at him in shock before she dragged Will by the arm and pulled him away from everyone else.
"He didn't tell you?" Hazel asked.
"No...what's going on?" Will hadn't been too worried until he saw the look on Hazel's face. And while Will didn't know her as well as he would've liked, he still knew something was wrong. But Will hadn't been prepared for what Hazel said next.
"Tomorrow is the anniversary of Bianca's death."
Nico didn't usually wake up at the crack of dawn, but today was an important day. So he got out of bed and put on a white button-up and a pair of black slacks. But then Nico heard a knock at the door. When he opened it, there was his blonde boyfriend. The son of Apollo wore a dark blue button-up with beige slacks.
"Will? What are you-" Nico was cut off by Will wrapping his arms around the smaller boy. "Um, are you okay?"
"Hazel told me."
Nico stiffened upon hearing the news but returned the embrace. "I didn't want to bother you." Will groaned and pulled away. "What?"
"How many times do I have to tell you that you can come to me about this kind of stuff? We're partners, and partners trust each other," Will stated. Nico flushed a bit and ducked his head.
"I know, I know. I'm guessing by your clothes that you want to come with me. And that no matter what I say, you won't change your mind."
"Yep."
"Let's go then."
Nico wasn't sure if bringing Will to the gravestone he made in the forest was a good idea or not, but it was too late to change his mind. Even though Bianca had been reborn, Nico still had a nice gravestone with her name engraved into the stone as well as the words she had told him when he was in the Labyrinth.
You must listen to me.
Holding a grudge is dangerous
For a child of Hades.
It is our fatal flaw.
You have to forgive.
You have to promise me this.
Will stayed silent as he helped Nico wipe the dirt and leaves away and laid a bouquet of both white and pink carnations (white for Remembrance and pink for Gratitude.) Nico stepped back to look over the flower arrangement and nodded in approval.
"Will you introduce me?"
Nico replied to Will's request by grabbing his hand and pulled him closer. "Bianca, I want you to meet someone. This is Will…..my boyfriend." Nico was a little startled when Will sat down suddenly, therefore dragging Nico down with him.
"Yeah, that's me. I've heard a lot about you. Don't worry; all good things, I promise." Nico would have said he couldn't believe his eyes if he didn't know Will so well. But yeah, Will was just talking in a casual manner to his sister. (Technically her gravestone, but I'm sure you readers understand the sentiment.)
"They say pretty good things about Nico too. He's so brave. He actually went to Tartarus by himself and survived. I gotta tell you, your brother is something else. He's gone through so much and he's still here. With me. I'm so lucky to have him."
"Will…" Nico trailed off when Will turned to look at him with a look of complete adoration.
"We got together in the funniest way. He was actually jealous of a daughter of Aphrodite. As if I'd like her over him. I teased him about it for weeks. He looks so cute when he's all flustered. He's always cute though.
It's not cute when he gets hurt though. He nearly disappeared after shadow-traveling. I almost lost him. I won't let that happen again though. So don't worry about him too much. He may be bad at taking care of himself, but that's why he has me. I swear on the River Styx to take care of him. Now hopefully, wherever you are, you'll know he's in good hands."
Nico couldn't think of anything to say. He had to blink away the few tears that threatened to spill. Instead, he just squeezed Will's hand, grateful when the blonde squeezed back.
AN: Hope I did this prompt justice. Review or PM me if you guys have a request!
