Nico really didn't knew when it was the last time he had celebrated Christmas. But he knew it was back then when Bianca was still alive. After that he didn't felt like celebrating anymore because Christmas only reminded him of how happy the others were when he was suffering on his own.

Also it reminded him too much of all the happy times that him and Bianca celebrated it. But ever since Will came into his life, he became more open to others and slowly let go of the past.

Right now him and Will were on the way to Sally's house. Percy has invited pretty much all of his friends to his house to celebrate Christmas together. It had been a while since he has been at Sally's place and Nico really didn't knew if he should go there, but Will encouraged him. Snow was falling down the Sky as the ground was covered by a white carpet.

"What are you thinking about?" Will asked dragging him out of his own thoughts.

Nico blinked. Had he been really that obvious? "Nothing, just about some stuff." he said.

Nico could see Will frowning at this. He sighed. "Nico, I thought we were over this with you keeping secrets." he said.

Nico sighed. All his life now he had been keeping secrets and it wasn't really easy for him to open up now. "I know. I am sorry. I was just thinking about the Christmas party." he said.

Will looked at him curiously. "Really? Is something bothering about it?" he asked concerned.

Nico smiled at him. It was one of the many things he loved about Will. He always knew when he was not feeling too great. He could notice even the tiniest details on him.

He sighed. He never really told anyone of it, not even Hazel, but Nico knew that he couldn't hide himself between his wall anymore like he used to have.

"It's just..." he started to say. He was struggling with the words. It was like a stone was in his throat stopping him from saying the words. But he then finally managed to get out some words.

"Christmas reminds me of the good times I had with my mom and Bianca. Ever since they both died it only reminded me of my loneliness while the other people were celebrating with their friends and family." he said sighing. He didn't looked into Will's eyes.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Will smiling at him encouraging. Another thing that Nico loved about him. He always could cheer him up.

"Nico, I know that you had a tough past, but this is the present right now and you are now celebrating with your friends and family. You don't have to be alone anymore. And Bianca would be proud of what you have become." he said smiling.

Nico stared at him in admiration. There was definitely no one else on this Earth who could make him feel like this now. He gave Will a small peck on the lips.

"You are right. I have a family and friends now. And I want to celebrate with them. And I want to have our first Christmas together." he said smiling taking his hand.

Will grinned at that. "That's the spirit, Death Boy. Now come on, we have a party to attend!" he cried dragging Nico with him. Nico laughed at his boyfriends cheerfulness. He was so glad that he found a lover in him.

They walked together a while hand in hand. Snow was falling was still falling down the sky and the wind was blowing stronger now, so that the snowflakes were blew in their faces, but it didn't really bothered Nico.

Still the path to Sally's house was feeling quiet long now considering the wind was trying to stop them and that the temperature was now below -15 degrees.

It was like Khione was taking revenge on them for the lost war, but Nico knew that she was in Tartarus now, so the wind and snow was out of natural causes.

After what felt like hours they finally arrived at Sally's house. Nico rang the doorbell and after a few seconds a former crush of Nico was standing in front of them grinning at both of them.

"Neeks! Will!" he cried hugging each of them. "I am so glad you both could make it!"

Nico rolled his eyes at Percy's attitude. "Yeah, me too. Will had convinced me." he said smiling.

Will laughed at that. "Yeah, it took a while, but we are here now."

Percy grinned at both of them. "That's great! Come in you guys! The others are already awaiting you both! You can put your shoes outside on the floor." he said.

Nico nodded. Had it been months ago that he saw Percy he probably would have been pained to see him, but now he felt nothing but brotherly love for him.

They put their shoes outside on the floor and went in. All their friends were already there. He saw Annabeth decorating the Christmas tree with Calypso, Thalia and Hazel, Jason and Frank sitting in the corner drinking some hot chocolate, Grover and Juniper cuddling on the couch, Reyna sitting on Rachel's lap while she hugged her waist, Nico could even spot Travis with Katie and Connor with Lou Ellen. He didn't even know that they were together. Clarisse and Chris were also there. How did so many people even fit in this house? And wasn't there someone missing?

His thoughts were interrupted by a cry. "I will never join the dark side!" he heard Leo cry. He had a fake blue lightsaber in his hand. Nico almost forgot that the new Star Wars movie was out. Everybody was talking about, especially Leo and Piper since they both were huge Star Wars fans.

He could see both of them coming out of the other room. "Join the dark side and we can rule together." Piper said with a evil smirk. She held a red lightsaber in her hand.

"Never!" Leo cried. He could see the others sighing and looking amused by their roleplay.

"Leo you should know something...I am...I am the one who stole your cookie." Piper said grinning evilly.

Leo gasped at her. "Nooooooooooo, that is not true!" he cried at her.

Nico tried not to laugh at that scene. He had to admit, it was quiet good. The others didn't seemed to notice them yet, but then Sally came out from one of the other rooms and saw them. "Nico! It is good to see you! You have grown so much since last time!" she cried happily hugging the son of Hades.

Nico was surprised by the hug, but Sally was Sally. A absolutely great woman. "It is good to see you too ." he said just remembering that she remarried.

Sally smiled at him widely. "Just call me Sally dear." Then she turned to Will. "You must be Will, Nico's boyfriend." she said happily.

Will smiled at her. "I am, it is nice to meet you ma'am." he said holding out his hand.

Sally smiled at her. "Just call me Sally." she said happily.

Nico smiled at the warm welcome of Sally. That woman was an angel. He turned around and saw Mr. Blofis walking to him. "Ahh, you must be Nico. I have heard a lot of you from Percy." he said grinning.

Nico shook his hand. "Nice too meet you too Mr. Blofis."

Paul laughed at that. "Call me Paul. Mr. Blofis let me sound so old." he said.

Nico smiled at that. "I will remember that."

Paul smiled at him. "How about you join the others. They are already expecting you."

Nico smiled. "I can imagine." he said. Would it be a few months ago, he would never have said that, but now...so many had changed the past few months. He walked to the others. The first one who greeted him was Reyna who got up from Rachel's lap.

"Great you could manage it!" she said embracing him. Nico hugged her back. He was glad to see his best friend again. Being a praetor meant that Reyna didn't had much time anymore and she had a girlfriend now. Nico would have never guessed that she was bisexual, but he was happy for her. Rachel was a good girl and they both made a cute pair.

"Couldn't miss my best friend, could I?" he said grinning hugging her back.

Reyna laughed at that. "Oh you wait till you get my present." she said. Nico chuckled. "I am expecting the best present I will ever get."

Reyna mock pouted. "What? But then I will expect the best present for you." she said.

Nico grinned at her. "Don't worry. I got the right thing for you." he said.

Reyna nodded. "Come join the others. They want to see you too you know." she said.

Nico nodded and followed her. He looked behind and saw Will still talking to Sally and Paul. Reyna and him first walked to Rachel.

"Hey love, who did you brought there with you?" Rachel asked kissing Reyna's lips pretending not to know Nico.

Reyna smirked. "Oh just a insufferable boy who followed me." she said.

"Hey!" Nico cried. Rachel and Reyna laughed at that. Rachel went over to him and gave him a quick hug. "We are just messing with you Ghost Boy. Good to see you."

Nico smiled. "Yeah, good to see you too. Hope you both didn't made out too much while you were here." he said smirking.

Reyna blushed at that, but Rachel just laughed. "Says the boy who makes out with his boyfriend all the time."

Now it was Nico's turn to blush. "We are not making out with each other all the time!" he cried in embarrassment. He was still quiet new to this and he came from the 1940s so he had to get used to it.

Rachel laughed. "Whatever you say Death Boy. " she said.

Nico wanted to reply something when he heard someone shouting very loudly. "Neeeeeks, you came! Dude that's awesome!" the person cried. He turned around and saw Leo walking to him grinning holding hands with Calypso who smiled at him. Next to them were Jason and Piper who also walked to him.

Reyna rolled her eyes. "Way to make an entrance Valdez."

Leo grinned at that. "What can I say RA-RA. I am a natural talent."

Reyna frowned at this. "Don't call me RA-RA."

Leo widened his eyes at this and hid behind Calypso. "Take her." he said with a high pitched voice.

Calypso rolled her eyes. "Wow, Leo. You are really a hero." she said sarcastically. Then she turned to Nico and hugged him. "Great you could came. We were already worried you wouldn't."

Nico hugged her back. "Don't worry. I wouldn't miss this. Besides Will can convince people really good." he said.

Calypso laughed at that. "Good thing he can then."

Nico smiled, then he felt somebody clapping on his back. "Now that you are here, the party can finally start what?" Leo asked grinning.

Nico rolled his eyes at that. He actually got quiet close to Leo during the past few months. Especially the time when Will was away. He really acted stupid during that time.

"I guess it can." he said smiling a bit.

Leo grinned. "Did you see how I beat Piper at the lightsaber battle. The light side of the Force always wins!" he cried.

Piper raised an eyebrow at that. "You won? I remember you stumbling over something falling backwards, screaming like a girl and crying "I give up!" believing that I really had the Force inside me." she said smirking.

The others all laughed at that.

Leo blushed. "Oh come on! It really looked like, you had the Force. I mean where did that stupid box came from? I didn't saw that before."

Jason laughed at that. "I may have helped at that."

Leo stared at Jason in disbelief. "What?! But...but why have you betrayed your bro?" he cried pouting.

Piper laughed and kissed Jason. "Because his beautiful girlfriend is far better than his best friend, am I right Jason?"

Jason grinned at that. "Sorry Leo, she is right."

Leo pouted at this while the others laughed. Nico laughed too. He didn't knew when it was the last time he laughed so much.

Piper laughed and ruffled Leo's hair, then went to Nico and gave him a hug. "We are glad that you are here. But where is Will?" she asked.

Nico pointed behind her. "He is with…" But he didn't saw Will. Where was he? He looked at Piper but she looked amused. Wait amused? He turned around, then he looked at Will's face who grinned. Nico screamed at that.

The others laughed. "What the hell Will?!" Nico cried.

Will laughed. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. You should have seen your face."

Nico glared at him while Will gave Leo a high five. Will then walked to him and hugged him from behind. "I am sorry love. Can you forgive me?" he asked grinning at him.

Nico looked at him. Oh why had his face just had to be so damn cute? He sighed. "You are lucky you are so damn cute." he said kissing him.

He heard the boys wolf whistling at this and the girls cooing. Piper even squealed. "Aww, you both are so cute."

"Your Aphrodite side is showing Pipes." Leo teased her.

"Oh shush Leo." Piper said punching his arm lightly.

Nico laughed at their antics.

"Hey guys, we want to start with the games!" Percy cried from behind.

Leo grinned at that. "Games!" he cried and dragged Calypso with him.

The others just shook their hands at his antics, but slowly followed. Jason used this moment to go to Nico and clap him on the back. "Good to see you Neeks. Will seemed to convinced you then?" he asked grinning.

Nico sighed. "Is that this obvious?"

Jason shrugged. "You are not that unpredictable like you think Nico." he said grinning.

Nico just shook his head in amusement just. He saw Jason still grinning at him. "That's awesome that you are here dude! Now we can finally have our karaoke match together!" he cried.

Nico raised his eyebrow. "Are you trying to scare me away Grace?"

Jason chuckled. "Well, it was a try worth, but I will get our karaoke!"

Nico sighed. "Go to your girlfriend you goof." he said.

Jason laughed and walked back to Piper wrapping an arm around her.

Nico just shook his head. Jason Grace was really something. But he was glad to have him as a friend. He was the first one to know about his sexuality. Even Bianca didn't really knew although Nico suspected that she somehow knew. And Jason didn't became disgusted by him. He actually became his friend, something Nico wasn't used to. That's why he tried to push him away. Everyone he loved in his life left him, so he didn't wanted to experience that again. But now...he looked at Will who walked at him. Everything changed…to the better.

"Ready for the games?"Will asked Nico wrapping an arm around him. Nico smiled back. "I am. Let's go."

When they arrived they were also greeted by the others. Grover and Juniper waved at them smiling. Clarisse boxed them both rather violently on the arm. Chris shook their hands. Travis and Connor both grinned and clapped both of them on the back. Katie smiled and hugged each other quickly. Lou Ellen practically tackled them both.

"You both made it!" she cried excitedly.

Nico groaned. "Nice to see you too Lou, now get off me!" he cried. Everyone laughed at this.

Will just chuckled. "Good to see you too Lou, but I think you are suffocating my boyfriend."

Grinning Lou Ellen let go and joined her boyfriend again. The next were Frank and Hazel. Hazel basically suffocated Nico with her hug. "Oh I am so glad that you could come!" she cried. Nico smiled and hugged her back. "Couldn't miss a party that my sister was attending right?" he asked.

Hazel smiled and kissed him on the cheeks. Then she also gave Will a hug. Frank shook their boths hand and gave Nico a clap on the back.

Annabeth gave both Will and Nico a smile and hugged them. "Great, you both could make it."

Thalia also came to them and hugged Nico. "I already thought you would be spending Christmas in the underworld." she teased him.

Nico rolled his eyes. "Shut up Pinecone Tree." he replied.

Thalia just grinned and then walked to Will. "Great you could convince him to come." she said. Her tone still had the voice that said: hurt-him-or-I-will-feed-you-to-the-monsters-I-hunt.

Will nodded nervously. "Um...yeah. Good thing." he said.

Nico rolled his eyes. "Thalia leave my boyfriend alone."

Thalia turned to Nico sticking her tongue out. "Spoilsport." she said then walked back to her friends.

Nico sighed. "Sorry for that. She can be a bit protective."

Will chuckled. "Don't worry. She is just looking out for her family. I understand."

Nico nodded and sighed. "I guess she is."

Will just grinned at him. Then suddenly Leo began to cry. "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"

The next three hours they were all busy playing games from monopoly, truth and dare (this definitely will be chapter :D), twister and other games. Of course there was a lot of crying again. What could you expect from demigods with ADHD?

The last thing on the list was karaoke. We all agreed to sing with our boyfriend and girlfriends even Jason looked disappointed that he heard he couldn't get his karaoke with Nico. Thalia had to sing alone since she was the only one single here.

When it Nico's and Will's turn, he got all nervous. He didn't really wanted to sing, but since the others done it, so why not.

Jason looked at them grinning. "Okay, your song will be: the Solangelo song!" he cried while the other cheered. Nico facepalmed. He knew that they would have chose this song. Will just grinned. He will will rock this. He took the mike and have Nico one. Then the music started to play. He looked at Nico and he immediately knew what to do.

S-O-L-A-N-G-E-L-O

forever shipping Solangelo

Sun and Darkness forever united

fangirls are totally delighted

Both of them sang in perfect harmony. The others were cheering at them. Nico knew that Will could sing but right now his voice sounded angelic. He let Will do the first part of the song.

Nico and Will, they are two lost soulmates

finding each other by the hands of the fates

too shy to admit there feelings

looking at each other while their hearts are bleeding

They want each other of it they were aware

But never took there chance when it was there

Damn it. He loved his voice. It was so perfect. In a few seconds it was his turn. He got nervous. Could he do it? He quickly emptied his mind and then when Will was done with his part he began to sing.

Both of them are gay, it doesn't matter

They love each other in any manner

So now it's the time let it out

Just go to him and say it out loud

You want to kiss him, you know you want it

you won't regret your choice even a little bit

Nico was singing with a passion that surprised himself. The others were looking at him shocked, but then they cheered. Nico blushed a bit at that. As he sang the last tune he looked at Will and he smiled back.

So we now sing:

S-O-L-A-N-G-E-L-O

forever shipping Solangelo

Sun and Darkness forever united

fangirls are totally delighted

Both of them sang the last refrain absolutely passionately as if they have done this for years now. When the song ended, their friends were cheering. "SOLANGELO! SOLANGELO!"

Nico blushed at that, but Will just grinned. "Who knew your voice is soo angelic?" he asked. Nico just blushed deeper at this. The others came forward to congratulate them.

"What a performance!" Percy cried..

"Who knew Death Boy could sing so well!" Leo cried.

Hazel came forwards and hugged Nico kissing his cheek. "This was great Nico. Why didn't you tell us you could sing so well?"

Nico blushed. "I didn't thought I am a good singer."

Hazel shook her head. "Nonsense, you were great." she said smiling.

Nico smiled back. He was so glad to have her as a sister.

It took a while to calm down the crowd. After that it was time for the presents. Nico slowly wrapped his out. He got a t-shirt with a skull on it from Leo. A dagger from Reyna, some Green Day CD's from Thalia, classical music from Calypso, blue food from...oh well you all know who it is, a book about architecture from...not hard to guess too, a karaoke set from Jason (not hard to guess why), Star Wars movies from Piper, another book from Frank and a Christmas jumper from Hazel.

He smiled when he saw her present. "Thanks, I love it." he said to her hugging. Hazel beamed at him. Then he walked to his last present. It was from Will. He looked at him. Will grinned. "Wanna open our presents together?"

Nico looked around. The others were still chatting happily with each other and opening the presents. Some were making out with each other.

Nico nodded and smiled. "Yes." He opened it and gasped. It was a photo from him, Bianca and his mom when they were younger. Under it was a Christmas card. He opened it. There was a text by Will:

Dear Nico,

ever since we got together I wanted to make you a really great present. And you deserve to have a memory from your family. Remember that there are always people who love you, especially this guy who wrote this letter.

Merry Christmas

Your lovely boyfriend Will

It was not a poetic text, but it was enough to touch him. He looked at Will with some tears in his eyes. "Will..." He saw that Will gasped at his present.

"Holy shit! That is the violin I always wanted, but Nico how?" he asked flabbergasted.

Nico laughed at this. "You forgot that my father is the god of riches." he said.

Will grinned and kissed Nico on the lips. "You are the best boyfriend, you know?" he asked.

Nico smiled at that. "I deny that statement. You are the best boyfriend." he said holding up his present.

Will smiled at him. "So, I guess you like my present?"

Nico nodded. "I love it...but where did you got it?"

At his words Will began to rub his neck. "I may have gone to your father and asked him for a photo?"

Nico looked at him in shock. Will did asked his father for this photo? For him?

"You did all of this? For me?" he asked still in shock.

Will nodded. "I wanted to give you a special present. You deserve it."

Nico tried not to let his emotions take over him. He slowly grabbed Will's face and pulled him into a deep kiss. His lips tasted like heaven, there was no other words to describe it.

"I love you, I love you so much Will Solace, you know that?" he said when he broke up the kiss.

Will smiled. "I love you too Nico di Angelo."

Nico snuggled into his chest and smiled. He looked to their others who had fun opening their presents. For years Nico had hated Christmas, but now...as he looked at his friends and Will, he smiled. No he didn't hated Christmas anymore. He loved it.
