Will was totally nervous. He was on his first date...with Nico! The boy he had a crush on since he came to Camp Half-Blood. The had been dating for a while now, yes but a date was something entirely different. Till now the date was not bad. There was an awkward atmosphere around both of them, but Will enjoyed his time with Nico.
Right now, Will was holding the umbrella over the two of them as they walked to the restaurant. After a while he even dared to hold Nico's hand, which made them both blush but it was comfortable. The rain was getting stronger, but Will didn't noticed that. His whole thoughts were on Nico and this date now. He still couldn't believe sometimes that they were together.
He had reserved at one of the finest restaurants in the city. He wanted the date to be perfect, but why did he had the feeling that something would go wrong. Well, they were demigods, so something would go wrong anyways.
After a while they finally arrived at the restaurant. It was fancy as Will already mentioned. There were red carpets on the floor and the wall and pillars were out of marble. And there were chandeliers on the ceiling. He smiled. If he hadn't saw the restaurant on the Internet (yes Leo invented Monster-Free Internet), then he would be probably in awe. He looked at Nico and he saw that he was now exactly that what he could be: in awe.
"Wow, Will. This is really fancy. Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked Will. Will remembered when he told him about this date. Nico had been protesting that Will should pay for them both and it took hours to persuade him, that this was fine. He just smiled at him.
"Don't worry Death Boy. I can afford it. Let's go to the reception and check in." he said dragging Nico to the reception.
There was a young woman smiling at them when they arrived there. "Hi, reservation on Solace." he said smiling. There was something familiar about this woman, but he couldn't tell. She had fair skin and, blue eyes and brown hair.
"Of course. You two are a couple right?" she asked while checking their names. Will nodded.
"Yes, we are." he could see Nico blush a bit at that and he blushed too.
"Aww, you two are just so cute." the woman said smiling. Will and Nico looked at each other. "Um, thanks?" Will asked nervously.
The woman just smiled and mentioned them to follow her. A few seconds later there were at a small table with two chairs. "Here is your table. Enjoy you date." the woman said winking at the both of them.
Will and Nico winked her goodbye but looked at her weirdly.
"That was already the second person who said we were cute. I never thought people nowadays would be that open about homosexuality." Nico said.
Will shook his head. "They normally aren't that much. Maybe we just got lucky." he said smiling.
Nico smiled back. "Yeah, maybe." he said sitting down and looking at the menu.
Will looked at his menu too. He was already sweating from nervousness. Keep calm Will. It's just Nico. He won't bite.
"So what are you ordering?" he asked him trying to hide his nervousness.
"Umm, I think I will take the Lasagne, you?" Nico asked.
Will looked at the card. There were a lot of choices. "I think I take the Pasta with shrimps and beef." he said.
"Yeah good choice." Nico smiling then looking down awkwardly. For a while they just sat there saying nothing, then Will broke the silence.
"So Lasagne, huh. Guess you still prefer Italian food." he said chuckling.
Nico grinned. "Well, you know...it's in my blood." he said.
Will just shook his head and chuckled. "Out of all food here you chose Lasagne? I am a bit disappointed in your choice Neeks." he teased him.
"Hey, it's my favorite food beside McDonalds, alright?" he said pouting. "At least I cook better food than you! Remember the last time we tried to bake a cake?" he asked smirking.
"That was one time! And I wasn't feeling good on this day!" Will protested. Truth to be said, he was a terrible cook while Nico could cook amazing. But he wasn't going to admit that.
Nico laughed. "Whatever you say Sunshine, but your cooking skills are terrible, admit it."
Will rolled his eyes a bit. "Alright, I admit that they might not be as good as yours, but they are still awesome!" he cried.
Now it was Nico's turn to roll his eyes. "Have you spent too much time around Leo, Percy and Jason?" he asked.
"Um no?" he answered which was the truth because Nico spent far more time among the three guys than himself.
Nico smirked. "Hmm, but you sound just like them." he said.
Will rolled his eyes. "Are we going to argue if I am like these three guys, Nico?"
Nico shrugged. "Don't know, but I find it's funny how similar you are sometimes." he said.
Will chuckled and smirked a bit. "Well, but you love my real self far more right?" he said almost seductively. The tense atmosphere was now gone.
Nico rubbed his neck nervously. "Um yeah, of course I do..."
Will smirked. He had an evil idea. It was just fun to tease Nico a bit. "So that means I am veeery attractive to you?" he asked.
He could see how Nico became all nervous now. "Well...of course you are...I mean..." he stuttered suddenly confused by all what was happening.
Will smirked. "So that means if I take off my shirt right now?" he said pretending to take off his shirt now.
Nico blushed furiously. "Will!" he shouted whispering. Will tried the hardest not to laugh. It was just too cute how Nico was blushing.
But then Will started laughing. He couldn't hold it anymore. "Oh god, your face! You should have seen it!" he said laughing.
Nico blushed furiously. "Will, that was not funny!" he said.
But Will continued to laugh. Some people were looking over to them, but then turned to their partners back again. "Sorry, but it was just too funny." he said.
Nico crossed his arms and huffed. Will just laughed at his face. "Sorry, Nico. You know I would never do this right?" he asked.
"I hope you don't Mister!" he said glaring at him. He looked at him intensively. For a while they were just staring at each other, but then both burst out laughing. They couldn't hold it anymore. Tears were coming out of Will's eyes and he even could hear Nico giggle.
"Wait, did Nico di Angelo just giggled?" he asked grinning.
Nico blushed. "I did not!" he protested.
Will chuckled. "Don't worry. I find it cute." he said.
At his words Nico blushed even more. "I do not blush." he mumbled.
Will grinned and wanted to say something when suddenly he heard someone playing the violin. He turned around and saw a young woman with black hair, fair skin and brown eyes playing the violin. Beside her was a guy with olive skin, brown hair and brown eyes.
"Ah, yes do you wanta some musica?" the guy asked in an terrible Italian accent. Will was sure it was fake.
"Um..." he looked at Nico and he was just as surprised as him.
"No no, you don'ta have to say anything. I knowa you two wanta some musica." he said grinning. "For your romantica date of coursa." he said.
Will just satared weirdly at the guy. The woman beside him was smiling at the two of the while playing some romantic music.
"Thanks, but we would like to have our date...without music." he said.
"But musica. It is sooo grande. Fantastica. The musica matches the two of you." he said with a lot of gestures.
"No thanks, could pleasa now go awaya from our table?" Nico asked angrily.
The guy just smiled at them. "Okay, if you don'ta need the musica it is fina for me. Enjoy you data." he said smiling at them.
The woman who played the violin just smiled at them. "You two make such a cute couple." she said then following the guy.
Will and Nico just stared at each other. "What was that?" Will asked disturbed.
Nico shook his head. "I don't know. Anything but an Italian." he said.
"So he wasn't one?" Will asked.
"Nosa Will. He wasn'ta." he said shaking his head. "No Italian sound like that.
Will looked confused. "But then why…?" he asked but Nico put a finger on his mouth.
"Don't say anything. We can talk about it later, but for now enjoy our time together, alright?" he asked smiling.
Will smiled. "Yeah, let's do it." he said.
For the next two ours they talked about mostly random things, but also asked each other about their favorite things.
"Hmm, favorite colour?" Will asked.
"Black." Nico immediately answered.
Will rolled his eyes. "Black is not a color."
"To me it is, nuff said. You?" he asked.
"Yellow."
"Really?" Nico asked unbelievable.#
"Yup, it's a happy color." he said smiling.
"Oh man, why am I dating you again?" Nico asked amused.
"Hey!" Will cried laughing. He enjoyed how Nico always could make him laugh.
And for the next two hours they were just asking each other similar questions or talking about funny things that happened in their lives or just teasing each other.
"No!" Will said laughing.
Nico laughed. "Really! Percy was freaking out when found out that me and Thalia turned his whole room into black." he asked laughing.
"I didn't knew that you were such a prankster." he said laughing.
"Well, I was always." he said laughing. "That was just before the second war started. Back then for a while I was happy and accepted until everything turned out bad again." he said sighing.
Will looked at him worriedly. He remembered how Nico was a happy child back then and remembered a short period when he was back to his old self again. Tartarus seemed to changed him. Curse the fates for making him suffer. Will thought angrily.
"Nico, you know you are not alone anymore. You have your friends, Hazel and you have me. I will never leave you, you know that?" he said softly.
Nico smiled, "I know. You told me that quiet a few times. I am over it alright. What happened in the past, stay in the past. I am not the gloomy child, but neither the happy, curious child anymore, that I was. I am me. Weird, Crazy, Obnoxious, Annoying and lucky to have such an awesome boyfriend." he said.
Will blushed at that. "Thanks." He looked at his plate and then on his watch. "Wow, it is already 10 pm. We should probably go now." he said.
Nico nodded. "Yeah, let's go. Waiter, we would like to pay please." he called the waiter. Unfortunately it was the guy again.
"Ah, I see you hava finished. You liked the fooda?" he asked.
Will nodded. "Yeah, it was very delicious." he said taking out his purse and paying.
"Will let me..." Nico said, but Will interrupeted him. "Nico I told you I will pay alright? You can pay the next time if you want." he said smiling.
Nico smiled back. "Yeah."
"Ah grande. Fantastica. I hopa you two had a great data." he said smiling.
Will nodded. "Yeah, it was fantastic."
Nico nodded too. "It was." Then he looked at the guy sceptically. "Say, where do you come from?" he asked.
The guy suddenly looked nervous. "Um, Milano, Italia." he said.
Nico frowned. "Really? Because I don't remember they had such a strange accent there."
Suddenly the guy grabbed the money and ran away. "Gotta goa." he cried. The he suddenly said. "It's a me. A Mario." he said then disappearing.
Will and Nico just stared at the guy running away. They turned at each other. "Let's not talk about this ever again." Nico said.
"Agreed."
When they arrived at the exit, they saw that it was not raining anymore
"Guess we don't need that anymore." Will said grinning.
Nico smiled. "Yeah, but I still would like to do this." he said stretching out his hand. Will's eyes widened then he smiled and he held Nico's hand.
"You know the date isn't over yet. I still have something planned." Will said grinning.
Nico grinned back. "Oh, really? What is it?"
Will laughed. "I can't tell you, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise." he said.
Nico pouted, but then laughed. "Alright, you big dork, let's go." he said. And together they walked away from the restaurant to the next place.#
When Piper saw her boyfriend dressed as the waiter talking to the both of them, she face-palmed. Why in the world was he talking like that? Nobody talked like that. They made the plan, that Hazel should be the receptionist, Calypso the violin player, because she is great in music and with instruments and Jason the waiter. But it seemed like that this was a mistake.
"What? I talked like a Italian, I think." Jason defended himself.
Leo and Percy began cracking up at that and the others just shook her head. Piper wondered at that moment why she did date this idiot again.
