This is my first writing. Please Please Please tell me how to my writing better. I'd love some criticism. Also if you so my first "draft"... well best to forget it. ;)

As Nico stood waiting for the lunch horn arms come out of nowhere and wrap around his waist. Nico flinches before realizing that his sunny boyfriend had done that. He sighed waiting for what Will was going to say. Silence. Fine, he thought ill say something so he will tell me what he is doing out of the infirmary. "You're out of the infirmary early. Anything bad happen?" Will released his waist and walked in front of Nico with a big smirk.

"Can't I just hang out with my king of darkness?"

Hmm, that was a new nickname. "Well if that was the case you would never leave me" I say raising my eyebrow at him.

"Kayla told me to go and take you some where saying and I quote", he got into a stance with his hands on his hip, giving me a sassy look, impersonating Kayla "'If you don't get out of here in 2 seconds, I will have to ban Nico from our cabin for a week.' I of course took out of there like I was being chased by the Coco Puffs".

I huff blowing my hair out of my eyes. "That was very reasonably of you although speaking of which did you feed the tiny gremlins?

He rolls his eyes, with a smile all over his face, "Yes, They wouldn't let me leave unless I did that. You ready for the date I planned out?"

I extend my arm as though he was a potential dance partner. "Lead the way".

He takes my arm with a deadpan face but his eyes sparkling with laughter ruin the image. Speaking with a ridiculously up tight voice, "Of course good sir. Although we shall make one stop when crossing to out destination, if that is okay with your Royal Sunshine".

I scowl "I am your Royal Darkness to you".

He just laughs and we start walking in the direction of the cabins. When we reach the circle, we turn into my cabin. He walks over to my wardrobe and begins tossing out piles of clothes. His faces twists into his thinking face.

"Uh, no, whatever you are thinking stop thinking it."

He turns to me, smirks "Stay here for like two seconds. Wait, you will take that seriously to figure out what I have set up. Stay here until I have finished finding out my findings." He slips out the door without a second thought.

I jump down on my bed taking in the familiar sight of a dark black ceiling. The black covers on my bed. My Stygian Iron sword leaning on the dresser.

I am lost in my thoughts when Will comes sprinting back into the room with…. "WHAT IS THAT IN YOUR HAND?!"

He shows me a painfully yellow swim trunk. He smiles brightly "A swimsuit for after our picnic".

I point a finger at the devil's spawn "That right there should be an illegal color".

"Come on Death boy, Try it on".

I start running. I know, I know, I shouldn't run from a swimsuit. I after all was the King of Darkness. The Ghost King. But you should have seen that swimsuit.

My escape did not last that long. Wills longer legs caught up to me in a matter of seconds. And he grabbed me. He wasn't even out of breath! How unfair was that. Even though he caught me being pressed against Will was definitely not the worse thing that could have happened. He dragged me into Cabin 13. It took a lot of convincing on wills part, some threatening, and some torture (being tickled is something that they should have done for torture in the Victorian Age) before I was in that swimsuit. At least Will let me keep a black t-shirt.

Then he took me out to the SUN! THE SUPER HOT BURNY SUN!

Then we walked into the forest. Will took my hand in his. Skeletal Butterflies were all over the place in my stomach. While Will was leading me towards… where ever we were going. I started to appreciate the forest. I have always loved it because of how dark and quiet and peaceful. After about 2 minutes of silence, we stumbled upon our destination. AND OH. MY. GHOSTLY. GODS. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. A huge London plane tree stood in the crevice of a heart shaped lake. The water was a nice purply-red. Like the color of a belladonna flower with the hint of crimson. A waterfall flowed into it at the bottom of the heart, tumbling from a cliff edge maybe my size and a half. If Will jumped he could see the top. On the ridge heart shaped flowers spouted out of unlikely spots for growth. Usually, I feel like I would have been uncomfortable with it. Like Will was overdoing it but I thought it was amazing.

"So what do you think? I tried to hint to them that it might be a little overwhelming but they either ignored it or never heard my protests."

"Them?"

"Yeah I was having a problem finding a secluded lake so I had the Aphrodite and Athena kids design it, Percy fill the lake, and Demeter to grow the plants."

I gawked "Percy knows about this?"

"Yeah I was surprised that he kept his mouth shut for so long. Kayla and the Aphrodite kids were taking bets on how long Annabeth could keep him from telling you and the rest of the camp." HE rubbed the back of his neck. "Im sorry that it isn't just our little secret date. I know you like those. But I needed help to make this one special so….."

I kissed him on the cheek and looked him in the eye. "Its okay to ask for help. If I was mad that you need help to try to make this special then that is a serious black flag there."

"Black Flag?"

"Yeah, basically a red flag but I didn't think that more color added to green would make it noticeable. But the absence of color? Now that is a true eye catcher, so you cant ignore it."

He smiles at me, then russles my hair.

I give him a scowl but am satisfied at making him happy. Doing something as simple as being myself makes him happy. What a wonderful thing, I thought.

"You ready to feast my Royal Sunshine."

"I AM LORD DARKNESS!"
