It's been already three weeks since Nico got together with Will and those weeks were the best of his months. He never thought he could be happy with anyone together, but he enjoyed the time with Will. When they weren't arguing about his health status, they were having their usual movie nights, their gaming sessions, their random discussions and their spontaneous activities, such as sparring against each other (although he always would defeat Will) or pranking the Stolls. Sure most of the things they already did before they got together, but they now had the smooch bonus. Nico felt comfortable around Will and Will helped him to overcome his fear of being touched by somebody.

His life was getting better and better from now. He had great friends that cared about him. A crazy, but awesome family (even his father showed a little bit love to him now) and a wonderful boyfriend. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder how things have turned so great for him. From time to time he would wonder, if he wasn't dreaming, but after he pinched himself on the arm, he was sure that he wasn't dreaming.

Momentarily he was sitting in his cabin and listening to music on his iPod. It was early in the morning and Nico didn't wanted to get up, although he was already awake for about an hour. That was something he could never get used to: getting up in the morning. Nico wasn't a morning person and he never would be. He couldn't understand how some people were so joyful in the morning. The only thing he was in the morning was being tired and wanting to sleep again. He was pretty much a morning crouch.

Suddenly the door to his cabin opened and his boyfriend stormed in. Excitement was sparkling in his eyes as he ran towards Nico with a Newspaper in his hand.

"Nico, Nico, you won't believe what happened!" he shouted.

Nico looked at his boyfriend in amusement. He had never seen him so excited.

"Calm down, Sunshine. What is it that you wanna show me?" he asked while laughing.

Instead of an answer Will gave him the newspaper. Nico quickly took the newspaper and shortly scanned the headline. What he saw took his breath away.

HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE NOW LEGALIZED IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES

Nico couldn't believe his eyes. He had always dreamed that something like this would happen, but he had never believed it. It was so strange. The time where he came from, people like him would be banned from the society and treated like a disease and now gay marriage was allowed everywhere in the United States.

Nico looked at the article in shock. Slowly he rose his head looked into Will's eyes.

"This isn't a joke, right?" he breathed. He just couldn't believe it.

Will shook his head. "No, it is real, Nico, god it is really real." he cried.

Tears were threatening to fall down Nico's eyes. They've won. For years homosexual people were banned from the society and now they finally won.

"We've won." Nico breathed. "WE'VE WON!"

Will laughed. "Yeah, we won Death Boy. Now nobody will try to separate us anymore."

The next thing Nico knew that he lunged at Will and engulfed him into a hug. Will didn't say anything. He just returned the hug. He wasn't even shocked by Nico's action, because during the past few weeks he's gotten to know Nico so much.

Nico was burying his head into Will's chest and continues to mumble "We've won. We've won." Will himself was trying not to cry as he knew that they didn't had to fear anything anymore. Sure there would be always some people who are anti-gay, but now they could be legally together now. The message that the marriage was legalized was for Will not just a win for the homosexuals, but also a win for the humanity.

"We should tell the others." Will said as he broke up from Nico.

Nico wiped away his tears. "Yes, we should. Wait let me get something." He ran to a chest and opened it. There he took out a rainbow flag, symbolizing the homosexuals.

"Let's go." he said grinning.

Will looked at him in amusement. "You have a rainbow flag in your chest?"

Nico shrugged his shoulder. "Hey, you never know when you'll need it. Come on, I want to go tell the others."

He and Will stormed out of Nico's cabin. They went to Percy's cabin, but he was already standing in front of his cabin hooting into a horn, waving a rainbow flag and shouting "Gay Marriage for the win". Annabeth was standing beside him and watching him in amusement.

"Is Percy really straight?" Will whispered to Nico.

Nico shrugged his shoulders. "I gave up years ago to understand the psychology of Percy Jackson."

In that moment Annabeth turned around and discovered the two. She smiled at them, ran towards them and engulfed them into a big hug.

"Oh, I'm so glad for you two." she said.

"Thanks, Annabeth." both of them said simultaneously. They were so glad it finally happened.

"So how does it feel to know that you to could actually marry?" Annabeth asked.

Both of them blushed a little bit. They were still a little bit too young for marriage.

"It feels great. Like I'm a new person." Will said grinning at Nico. Nico grinned back. It was there kind of secret conversation that only the two of them could understand.

"DUDES, WE'VE DONE IT!" Will, Nico and Annabeth turned around to see Jason and Percy coming towards them with Leo, Piper, Calypso and Rachel. All three boys were waving the rainbow flag and were singing. "Oh, what a wonderful day. It's so marvelous to be gay." (tune of Oh champs elysee)

The three girls went to hug the two boys. Each of them cried "Congratulations" before they released him. Nico couldn't help but grin widely. It was not everyday you experience something like that.

"Dude, this is gonna be the new Independence day!"

"Rainbow rules!"

"This is the beginning of a new age!"

Nico laughed at the boys antics. Watching them dancing he couldn't wonder if he wasn't actually the straight one and those three the homosexual ones. Out of nowhere fireworks flew into the sky and exploded. The fireworks have written the sentence "Homosexual for the win" in the air.

Nico looked at Will and smiled at him. He smiled back lovely. Both new that this was a win for the whole human kind.

"Hey guys, wait for me." Nico cried. He took his rainbow flag and joined the guys in their dancing.

Like Leo said, this was a beginning of a new age.

Yeah, I finally finished the chapter. I'm so sorry that I didn't update for so long. I was on class trip, then I was busy with applications for the university. But I decided to continue the story. At least till I have no idea of what I should write anymore. It is definitely the shortest chapter of all, but I hope you still like it. I have the feeling that due to my long break from writing, my writing became worse. But that's another thing. I hope you guys liked the chapter. Please continue to review it. You guys are the best. Have a nice day.
