A to Z with the di Angelos
Parental Life of Heroes
17. F is for Forever [May 2029]
Everything was perfect to the dot on the 'I'. Literally, actually, because there was a gigantic banner reading Happy Crystal Anniversary hanging in the living room and the dot on the 'I' was a blue heart. Nico had spend the entire morning setting everything up. Sure, normally Nico started working in the afternoon once Percy would be home from his work at the dojo so they could take turns watching the kids. As soon as Percy had left the house in the morning however, Nico had dropped all the kids off at kindergarten and school and then brought little Jackie to Sally and Paul. Nico cleaned the house up faster than ever before and decorated it so once Percy would return home, they could celebrate their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Lunch was on the table, steaming and smelling delicious by the time Percy entered the house. The Sea Prince looked stunned and in awe as he saw the hundreds of sparkly differently blue colored crystals hanging from the ceiling.
"Happy Crystal Anniversary, mio amato marito", purred Nico and pulled Percy into a kiss.
"Uhm. Right. I... bought you flowers and uh, pizza? So we could eat together before you gotta get to work, but... you... seem to have other plans", whispered Percy in awe.
He put the pizza down to touch an azure-blue dolphin hanging just next to him. There were so many differently shaped crystal figures hanging everywhere, painting the entire room in soft blue colors from where the crystals broke the light. Nico chuckled and kissed along Percy's neck.
"I figured that we could spend our fifteenth anniversary a little more special than that. I made your favorite, so why don't we put the pizza away for tonight?", suggested Nico.
He took the black roses from Percy with a fond smile and a kiss to the corner of Percy's mouth before leading him to the dinner table that was set with black candles and the prepared meal. Percy smiled as he sat down opposite his husband and they started eating in the soft blue light.
"But don't you have to go to work?", questioned Percy doubtfully. "It's delicious, by the way."
"Took the day off", shrugged Nico with a smirk. "Hazel gave me the idea, with her jewelry. I just wanted everything to be as pretty as my husband, spend a nice lazy afternoon with you. We haven't had one of those since Jack's been born, I think. So... I figured that'd be a nice plan?"
"You. Are. Perfect", sighed Percy pleased and leaned over for another kiss as he refilled their wine glasses. "Happy anniversary indeed. I love you, Nick. Can't believe it's been fifteen years, mh?"
"And each day seems better than the last", grinned Nico in a happy, dorky way.
Percy snorted amused, a warm utterly pleased feeling spreading through his entire body, because even after fifteen years, the thought of being with Percy still put that dorky, dopey grin on Nico's lips, because Nico still liked him like he had when they were teens and Percy loved that.
"You're the best damn thing that's ever happened to me", whispered Percy in awe.
"Likewise", grinned Nico teasingly. "Dessert?"
"Did you ever hear me say 'no' to dessert?", grunted Percy unimpressed.
"Dessert in the living room while watching Doctor Who?", offered Nico with a smirk.
"You know me so well", hummed Percy pleased and got up to get the double chocolate cake. "You have been very busy today, huh? You know... You know how to make me feel cherished."
"Because I cherish you", stated Nico casually, wrapping one arm around Percy's waist.
Percy yelped amused as he was pulled up against Nico and stole another kiss before the two of them headed over to the blue-lit living room and cuddled up on the couch while eating cake. Something in Percy really wanted to get laid, but the bigger part was just glad to lay down, relax and do nothing that needed concentration or required him to move. Eating chocolate cake and cuddling with the love of his life, now that was all he needed. And Nico? Nico knew that. Nico knew exactly what his Percy needed and when he needed it. He knew how to make Percy smile and he loved that smile. He loved just holding Percy, listening to him fanboy ramble. He loved Percy.
Author's note: Next week's update is gonna be a special treat! The chapter will focus on Thess, him visiting his best friend Lizzy in New Rome with some others. Among them, Luke. Cue in the first impressions. And to tie into that chapter, I plan on posting the oneshot "Charmed by a Siren"; the story on how Luke and Thess got together ;)
