Nico

Nico woke on Monday with about three thousand texts from his best friend, Jason.

6:36 AM - I just heard from Percy, who heard from Annabeth, who heard from Pipes, who heard from Silena Beauregard, who heard from Lou Ellen that you got asked out by Will Solace. Details, Nico!

6:40 AM - Neeks, text me immediately!

6:47 AM - NICOOOOO

6:51 AM - NICO DI ANGELO IF YOU DO NOT CALL ME THIS INSTANT I WILL SNEAK INTO YOUR ROOM AND BLAST YOU WITH A FIRE HOSE!

7:00 AM - Okay, the fire hose thing was a bit extreme, but seriously; CALL ME!

8:01 AM - It's now been an hour, and I've come to the conclusion that you're probably asleep. Call me when you wake up!

9:12 AM - Nico, seriously, it's past nine, what's wrong with you

9:45 AM - Neeks, I'm seriously worried about you if you sleep in this late every day

10:22 AM - Really, Nico? Really? Don't you have a date today?

Nico rubbed his forehead and pinched the bridge of his nose irritably as he dialed Jason's number slowly, yawning as he held the phone to his ear. It didn't even have a chance to ring twice before Jason was shouting, "JESUS CHRIST, NICO, IT'S ABOUT TIME!"

"Di Dio, Jason, you don't have to shout," Nico muttered, pushing himself to a sitting position against his headboard.

"Nico, it's almost eleven thirty! You slept for, like, fourteen hours!"

"Really, only fourteen?" Nico asked. "I usually get at least sixteen."

Jason was silent for several seconds. "I honestly can't tell if you're serious. But anyway, what about a date with Will Solace?!"

Nico sighed and rubbed a finger across his eyes. "Yeah, I ran into him at Barnes & Noble yesterday. He wanted this manga, and I had already picked it up, so of course I was going to fuck with him a little. So I gave him my number and told him to call me, and maybe I'd let him borrow it."

"Damn," Jason said, approval in his tone. "Nice, Nico."

"Yes, I know. Anyway, he texted me last night, and I told him I'd only let him borrow it if he came over to my house."

Jason whistled. "When'd you get so smooth?"

"I've always been this smooth," Nico protested. "I just... don't show it that often!"

Jason snorted. "Sure. Anyway, please tell me you're not going to dress all emo-ey for your date?"

"What's wrong with how I dress?" Nico asked defensively, glaring at his wall in the place of Jason.

"Nothing! It's just, most of them have skulls on them. Or ghosts. Or sassy remarks. And all of them are black. But, ya know, if you're cool with that, then..."

"I am, thank you very much," Nico huffed. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat breakfast."

"Lunch," Jason corrected, and Nico huffed as he hung up on him.

After Nico had gotten some food in him, he felt significantly better, and he remembered his plans for that night. Smirking, he walked around gathering all the candles he could find, lining them up on every available surface. He got a large soft blanket and spread it out on the couch, along with a few pillows. He placed the remote on the side table and went into the kitchen to prepare the rest.

He'd decided on going full-out, just to make Solace squirm. After all, he was making it just too easy. So Nico had planned on a home movie date, and the candles were just for mood lighting. He already had a ton of candy and junk food in the house, because his dad wasn't a fan of cooking, so he had plenty of snack food for them to eat.

After everything was in bowls, Nico set it all out on the coffee table and surveyed his work with a smirk. ((Lol, that rhymed :p)) Satisfied, he went back upstairs to change.

At five forty-five that night, Nico was lounging around on the couch wearing black jeans and a long-sleeved, plain black shirt, his feet covered by fuzzy black socks. He'd already gotten together tons of movies from his dad's vast collection, and also had a ton of anime on his list for them to browse through since Will obviously loved it as much as him.

A knock sounded at the door, and Nico raised an eyebrow as he got up to answer it. And, lo and behold, there stood Will Solace, wearing a light yellow sweater, jeans, and a beanie. In summer. Nico smirked at him, stepping aside and waving him inside. "You're early, Solace. That eager to see me?"

"Um, why are all the lights off?" Will asked nervously, clearly avoiding the question. "And why are there lit candles everywhere? That's a fire hazard, you know!"

Nico watched him, amused. "I like the dark. Take off your shoes and follow me."

Will did as instructed, and Nico lead him to the couch. "Make yourself comfortable, sunshine."

Sitting down on the couch, Will looked around, and Nico sat beside him, enjoying the clear nervousness written across his face. "So, is this... a date?" Will asked suddenly, his eyes flicking over to meet Nico's. Nico only grinned. "Chiamatela come volete." He snatched the remote from the side table and turned on the TV. "So, what do you want to watch? I've got tons of movies, and also streaming on Netflix."

"Netflix?" Will was silent for a few seconds. "Can we watch... Merlin?" he asked quietly, Nico barely caught the words.

"Merlin?" Nico asked, surprised. "You like Merlin?"

"Yes," Will said defensively. "Why? Is that bad?"

"No," Nico said, sitting back and flipping through the shows on his list till he found Merlin. "I love that show, actually. I just thought you were an anime freak."

"I am," Will said, grabbing a pillow and hugging it to his chest. "I just happen to be a side-connoisseur of British TV shows."

Nico felt his heart skip a beat. That... was weird, he thought, clicking on episode one of Merlin. I thought I was just messing with him. I didn't think I was actually interested in him...

As the episode started, Will shivered, and Nico shook himself out of his thoughts, grabbing the blanket. "Cold?" Will nodded, and Nico spread it over both their laps. "Sorry, but we'll have to share it. I don't have many throw blankets."

"That's fine," Will said quickly, and they turned their attention to the show.
