xXxXx

Will pouted, his bottom lip quivering slightly. His bright blue eyes were wide and wet with unshed tears.

"How do you resist that face Nico? Even I want to just hug him and give him anything and I'm not even the one dating him!" Jason said.

Nico glanced over at Will. "No."

"Come on Nico. Please?" Will's pout deepened.

"No."

Annabeth laughed from Percy's lap. "What does he want anyways?"

Will pouted and looked down. "My mom is getting married to some strange man in Texas that she never bothered to introduce me too. She wants me to go down so I can meet him and his five daughters. Five daughters! I'm going to be the only boy there and it will be horribly dreadful." he said dramatically before turning his puppy dog eyes back at Nico, "I've asked Nico to come with me and keep me company so I don't die of boredom but he keeps refusing."

"Will, I told you I would go if you were going to be honest with her. I refuse to go." Nico said again. "Not unless you promise to introduce me as your boyfriend."

Will hesitated at that. "Nico, I told you. My mom isn't exactly open to gay relationships. I know that for a fact. My mom is still a bit racist, there's no way she would ever accept me for me and I don't even know how her fiance would react. I never met the man and who know what he would do."

"So what? This isn't about them. You've been putting this off for years. You told me yourself that you found out you were gay five years ago and you never had the courage to stand up to your mother. This is your chance to finally come clean. You don't know that she would just disown you for loving another boy. She might not initially be okay with it but she could accept it and she you guys can rebuild your relationship with each other."

Will sighed and took a step towards Nico. His hand cupped the smaller boy's face softly and placed a chaste kiss on Nico's lips. "I love you." he mumbled. "But I'm not ready to come out to my mother. And I really need support for this wedding because I can't face her and her new family alone. Please don't make me."

Nico groaned and looked down. He knew he was losing this argument. "Fine." He relented.

Will smiled in relief and hugged Nico tightly, "Thank you!"

"You suck," Nico grumbled. He was a sore loser, what could he say.

"Not now Nico. I'll suck you later," Will said absentmindedly as he turned to the rest of the demigods that were there ignoring Nico's bright red face.

"What about you guys," Will put his puppy dog eyes back in place. "I could really use the extra support and my mom said I could bring as many people as I wanted."

Percy felt his will crumbling. He didn't like weddings and he didn't know Will that well but he did feel bad for the boy and he was the boy who helped Nico smile again so he did owe him, he elbowed Annabeth, "You tell him." he decided. Annabeth was better at letting people down anyways.

Annabeth took a deep breath, fully prepared to let Will down easily but her resolve disappeared once she saw him. "Okay, Percy and I will go."

"What?" Percy exclaimed. "You're not supposed to give in!" He couldn't help but smile at the relieved smile that spread across Will's face though.

"Sorry." She didn't sound sorry.

Will grinned and turned to Piper and Jason.

"Okay. It sounds fun!" Jason said happily. No puppy eyes needed. Piper nodded enthusiastically.

"Me too!" Leo jumped up and raised his hand like a school child.

Calypso sighed. "No. I'd rather not spend more time in a deserted area."

"Come on. Everyone else is doing it."

"No Leo. Stop trying to control me!" With that Calypso got up and left the room.

Leo scowled angrily and looked down at his feet.

"We'll go too." Hazel said, wrapping an arm around Frank's waist.

Will smiled, "Thanks guys. See Nico. They gave in immediately."

Nico raised an eyebrow at that. "That's because they haven't learned to say no to you."

"Now why would you want to do that?"

Piper and Hazel giggled at that.

"Great! Now all we need is to beg Lou Ellen and Cecil and we can go!"

"How are we getting there?" Percy asked.

"Nico can poof us there." Will said absentmindedly.

"I don't remember agreeing to that," Nico said.

"Please?" The pout had returned.

Nico huffed. "Fine." he rolled his eyes at his needy boyfriend.

Will grinned. "You guys should pack. We'll leave in an hour."

Nico sighed as he watched everyone run off. He sighed when Will wrapped his arms around his waist and pressed his lips against his forehead.

"You packed?" Will asked.

Nico sighed, "Yeah. I figured I would end up going with you in the end. Damn you and your puppy dog eyes."

"Thank you." Will grinned.

"Although, if you want to see what I packed you are more than welcome to go to my cabin."

"Mmm. I like the sound of that."

Nico couldn't help but smile as Will grabbed his hand and began to drag him towards the Hades cabin. Will opened the door and pulled Nico inside. He smashed his lips against the Italians and grinned.

Someone cleared their throat. The two teens looked over and saw Hazel by her bed neatly putting folded clothes in a suitcase.

"Don't mind us. I'm just defiling your brother. I mean helping. Helping your brother. Pack. That's it…" Will looked around awkwardly.

"You're really bad at this," Nico said as he made his way to his bed. He pulled a suitcase out from under his bed and plopped it on the bed. "How long are we going to be there anyways?"

"Just until after the wedding or until someone gets hurt. Whichever comes first."

"That doesn't sound too promising."

"Trust me. Sometimes I want to punch my mom in the face because of half or the racist comments she makes but she's still my mom. Please just try to turn a cheek towards her. I apologize in advance." Will told Hazel.

Hazel sighed and offered him a smile. "Don't worry. I'm tough and if it does get out of hand I'll tell you."

Will smiled. "Great. I'm going to tell my mom how many people I'm bringing." Will pecked Nico on the lips before walking out of the cabin.

Nico sighed and sat on Hazel's bed.

"He's sweet," Hazel offered Nico a smile. "Don't look so worried."

Nico just sighed though, "It's not that. It's his mom. I know he doesn't have the best relationship with her. She wanted him to come home instead of staying at camp year round. She wanted him to take over the family horse business or something but he wanted to be a doctor like his dad. I don't want him to be around her and I definitely don't want to see him sad either. She hadn't seen him in 5 years and when she writes to him I want to rip up her notes."

Hazel just smiled. "Put some faith in your boyfriend. He's stronger than you think and he wants you to be there so you can support him. I know if my mom was here, no matter how many fights we had, I would want her to meet Frank. The person I care so deeply about."

Nico took a deep breath. "I suppose you're right."

Hazel giggled. "Now help me fold!"

xXxXx

"Everybody here?" Will asked as they crowded around Nico. Nico had everyone put their hand on him, no matter how awkward it was. Once he received all the nods Nico shadow traveled to Texas.

"Where are we?" Percy asked as he helped a now sleepy Nico onto Will's back. Nico wrapped his arms and legs tightly around his boyfriend.

"I don't know. I'll call Jules-Albert. Find me a car that would fit all of us and then wake me up." Nico mumbled as he dozed off.

Will chuckle lulled Nico to sleep.

Nico groaned as he was shaken awake. He glared as Will's annoyingly sunny hair came into view.

"Go away."

Will grinned, "Wake up baby. We got a car."

Nico groaned and rubbed his eyes. He yawned and stretched before muttering some words. He focused on his power and Jules-Albert appeared.

"I can't believe your dad gave you a chauffeur," Cecil said.

"Are you kidding? Our dad spoils him." Hazel huffed.

"Don't say it like it's a bad thing." Nico said as he climbed into the truck's front with Will. Everyone else was piled in the back. Will gave Jules-Albert the address before wrapping an arm around Nico's shoulders. Nico smiled and rested against the older teen.

Nico watched silently as the beautiful yet empty scenery. It was lonely to look at. There was just so much nothingness.

"Look, a cow!" Will pointed at a small farm and grinned.

The ride was over too soon. Nico could have spent forever watching the nothingness in Will's arms. He sighed as Jules-Albert parked the car and saluted at Nico before disappearing. Nico sighed and waited for Will to open the door and help him down. The two of them went to the back and helped the rest of their friends down.

"This must be it," Will whispered looking at the huge house. He frowned, "It's nicer than I expected."

Nico offered him a smile, "That's a good thing."

Will sighed and approached the front door. He knocked twice before backing away.

"Maybe no one's home." Will said hopefully.

Nico raised an eyebrow and rung the doorbell. A couple seconds later an elderly woman opened the door.

"Hello? Who are you?" She asked squinting her eyes.

Will's eyes widened, "Maybe we have the wrong house. I don't know this woman."

Nico rolled his eyes. "Excuse me. We're looking for Naomi Solace. Does she live here?" Nico asked politely.

The woman paused. She turned and yelled, "Naomi! There's a group of teens here to see you!" into the house.

A couple moments later a pretty middle aged woman appeared. She had curly blonde hair, blue eyes and Will's easy smile. What surprised the demigods the most though was her huge, pregnant stomach. Once she saw Will a smile crossed her face and soon the boy was wrapped in her death embrace.

"Mom, it's good to see you again." Will said as he pulled away.

Naomi smiled and tapped Will's cheek affectionately.

"Oh, these are my friend from camp. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Cecil, Lou Ellen and this is Nico."

"There's no way I'm going to remember all of that." Naomi said dismissively. "Come on in. I want you to meet someone."

Will sighed at that. "You guys can go explore if you want." he said. "I think they're horses in the back."

Percy nodded and urged the remaining demigods to follow him. He was going to set up a barrier for them to hide their scents from monsters. Nico stayed behind and nodded at Will in silent understanding.

Will led the son of Hades inside and the duo followed Will's mother to what Nico assumed was the dining room.

"She's having a baby," Will said numbly. "She never told me."

"I thought you said your mom was really religious." Nico said.

"I thought she was. I guess I don't know my mom that well."

Nico squeezed his hand before quickly pulling away so Naomi wouldn't notice.

"Will, sweetheart. This is my fiance Jed Parker. Jed, honey. This is my son Will."

Will stared at the man, unsure how to react. The man was handsome and looked pretty wealthy.

"Nice to finally meet you. And who is this young man?" Jed offered them a smile.

"Nico di Angelo," Nico responded.

"Is that a hint of Italian I detect?"

Nico gave him a small smile, "I was born there."

"I know a bit of Italian myself. My best friend taught me some in high school. Lets see… Succhio dei cazzi . Mi piace anche fare sesso con pizza e cavalli." (I suck cocks. I also like to have sex with pizza and horses.)

Nico's eyes widened at that. "You what?" he asked scandalized.

"It means I suck at cooking and I like pizza and horses."

Nico shook his head slowly, "Non credo che il tuo amico era davvero tuo amico." (I do not think that your friend was really your friend.)

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Just do me a favor and never say that to anyone who speaks Italian. You might end up being slapped in the face."

Jed frowned, "Did I mess up that badly?"

"Unless you meant to say…. You know what. Nevermind." Nico blushed and looked down at his feet.

"How about this. He also taught me a pick up line. Sei così brutto probabilmente si muore soli, perché nessuno potrà mai ti amo." (You're so ugly you will probably die alone because no one will ever love you.)

Nico's eyes widened again.

Naomi smiled at that, "I love when he says that to me. It's so hot."

Now Will looked scandalized.

"What does that mean?" Will whispered.

Nico just shook his head. "Please tell me you never told anyone who speaks Italian that."

"No. Unfortunately I never had a chance."

Nico let out a deep breath. "I recommend that you never speak that Italian again. Especially to people who speak the language."

Naomi cleared her throat. "Anyways. Will here is so great with horses. He used to spend all the time he could with them." she changed the subject.

Will nodded awkwardly.

Jed cleared his throat, "So your mother tells me you spend a lot of time with your father. How's that?"

Will glared at his mother, "I hardly ever see him. I spend my time at a camp in New York. That's where I met all my friends."

"That sounds interesting," Jed said kindly. "What happens there? Anything interesting happen recently."

"You could say that," Nico mumbled loud enough for only Will to hear. Yeah, a war is pretty interesting.

Will chuckled at that, "Hush you."

Nico avoided the playful slap sent his way and backed up as Will went after him. Nico squeaked as his back hit the wall.

"Will, that's quite enough," Naomi said sternly.

Will stiffened and frowned. He and Nico returned to the table and sat down as a young blonde girl poured them tea.

"This is my daughter Maribelle. She's the middle child. She's 11."

The blonde girl smiled at them. "Howdy." she was rather pretty and Will could tell she would grow into a beautiful woman.

"She's pretty fast on a horse. Aren't you darling?"

"Yes Papa." The girl smiled.

"Go get your sisters for me please. I would like to introduce them to Will and Nico." Jed said.

Maribelle nodded and dashed off. A couple minutes later she returned with four other girls and two boys.

"Ah! That was fast. Where's the oldest?" He smiled as a tall red haired girl stepped forward.

"Will, Nico. This is Rosalea, my oldest daughter. Rosey here is 16. She's at the top of her class at school."

Rosalea blushed at that, "Papa! I don't like it when you tell everyone that."

"But it's my job to brag. I'm just so proud of you baby-girl."

"Nice to meet you," Will offered her a smile.

"Alyce Ann, where are you?"

A pretty blonde girl stepped up and waved.

"This is my second oldest. I believe she is your age. 15, right?"

"Yes sir," Will answered.

"You met Maribelle already. Then my little angels Alma and Susanna. They're 5."

Two little blonde girls peaked out at them from behind their sister's legs.

"Then there are Jeremy and Colt," He said motioning to the two boys that had entered with the girls. "They're not important though."

"Hey!" one of the boys gasped offended.

"I'm just teasing you Colt." Jed said, "These boys help me out whenever and in exchange they stay here."

"Anyways, guys. This is Naomi's son Will and his friend Nico."

"The rest of my friends are outside." Will said. "I'll introduce you to them."

"Not just yet." Naomi said. "Will, I think I found you the perfect wife."

Will frowned at that, "Mom. I'm fifteen." he should have known she would do something like this.

"Yeah but she's perfect. She fifteen and she lives so close to this farm. I've invited her over for dinner so you can meet her."

"Mom. I don't want to meet her." Will insisted.

"Well I already invited her so I expect you to be on your best behavior. You will talk to this girl. Understood?"

"Mom."

"Understand!"

Will rolled his eyes, "Come on Nico. Let's go find the others."

Nico nodded and allowed Will to drag him outside.

"She's so… ugh! She aggravates me! You know? I mean I love her and all but she refuses to listen to anything I say that isn't about horses!" Will ranted. He began to pace back and forth. "I wish she would just understand that I don't want to live in a farm my whole life. I don't want to marry a country girl and have a hundred babies and I don't want to ride horses all day. I love horses but I just… I don't know."

"You should talk to her. Tell her how you feel. Force the conversation if you have to. Communication is key in relationships you know."

"And ruin her wedding? She's already stressed out and I can't do that to her. It's unfair. Plus she's expecting a baby. It just isn't the right time." Will pouted.

"There will never be a right time. You have to create one yourself."

"What wrong with me?" Will groaned.

Nico smiled and kissed Will's lips softly. "You're too nice."

Will scowled, "No need to remind me," He grumbled.

Nico shook his head, "That's one of the reasons why I love you. You're not selfish. You put others before yourself."

Will smiled at that, "Really, why else do you love me?" He asked as he stepped closer to Nico.

Nico scowled, "I'm not telling you."

Will chuckled. "I love you too." He leaned down to kiss Nico but was instead knocked on his ass by a brown animal racing at him. He glared up at a light brown horse. The horse just looked away innocently as if he didn't just knock the blond on the ground.

Behind the horse Percy and the others were laughing hysterically. Nico was smiling as well. Percy neighed at the horse and the horse trotted away.

Will stood and rubbed his sore bum. He glared at Percy before turning to Nico.

"I'm not kissing it better." Nico stated.

"But-"

"No."

Will sighed. "You're an evil man Percy. Who does that?"

"I thought it was funny," Jason said.

Nico watched as Will chased after Percy and Jason. Frank, Hazel, Piper and Annabeth were off to the side betting on who would hit who where. Cecil and Lou Ellen were with them, mostly on Annabeth's side, cheering the girls on.

Nico frowned when he noticed Leo wasn't with them. He looked around and found the Latino sitting on a tire swing staring blankly out at the plains.

Nico made his way to Leo and sat down next to him. He wouldn't ask any questions but he had a feeling Leo would spill what was bothering him regardless.

As expected Leo started talking.

"I don't get it. I mean I kept my promise and I rescued her but somehow it wasn't good enough for her. I did everything. I acted like a complete gentleman when she wanted me to be and I acted like a lovable idiot all the other times and… I don't even know."

Leo looked up at Nico and sighed.

"I don't get girls, you know? They want everything to be perfect and they're so high maintenance and they walk all over us and she didn't even want to go here with me because I don't want.. But … I don't understand."

Leo thought for a second before perking up.

"You're the girl in your relationship with Will. Right?"

Nico's eyes widened, "Um. What?"

Leo chuckled nervously at that, "You know. You're the one who plays the part of the girl in your relationship."

"I think the point of being in a gay relationship is that there is no girl."

"But like, during sex. You have had sex. Right?"

Nico blushed at that, "You know what. This is the last time I try to comfort people." He said, standing up.

Leo grabbed his sleeve. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that."

Nico sighed and sat back down.

"I've never had sex either. Not really."

"Leo, I really don't want to have this conversation with you."

"Sorry."

Nico just stood. "You'll figure it out." He told him.

Leo just smiled, "Thanks."

xXxXX

So I am editing the story to make it make more sense and get rid of some inconsistencies like Reyna disappearing. Also I'm changing Martha's name to Naomi.

Lilac ;)
