AN: First fanfic, don't know how this will go.

REVISED/EDITED

Nico didn't know how he ended up here, but then again he did.

It all started months ago after the war with Gaea. The wounded were healed by the Apollo cabin. Cabins that were burned down during the war were rebuilt and Jason had added new cabins for the minor gods. Romans and Greeks worked together to bury the dead. They celebrated, made new friends, and were happy to be alive.

That is everyone but Nico. Don't get it wrong, he was happy to be alive he just wasn't happy with what was happening at the moment. Will Solace, bright son of Apollo had dragged Nico from Cabin 13 all the way to the infirmary. True to his word he made Nico stay for three days without getting out of bed. Though Will kept him company each day. Bringing Nico food and talking about everything that has happened in the past few days. Their friendship grew past those days. They did almost everything together. Sparred together, did activities together, and talked until curfew.

Then came December. The joyful holiday of Christmas. Camp was decorated. Christmas sweaters given. Snow falling, resulting in snow ball fights instead of capture the flag. And everything had calmed down. The war was a distant memory. One by one, or in pairs Nico's friend went home for the holidays. Annabeth and Percy to Sally's. Hazel and Frank decided to go skiing. Jason and Piper went to the McLean mansion. Reyna was in charge of the Roman camp. Leo was dead but not at the same time. And Will, Will was going home to his mom in a week.

The days dragged by and Nico didn't want Will to leave. Will was his last friend let at camp. The only one that could make him laugh and smile for no reason. At the campfire one night Will asked, "What are you doing for the holidays, Di Angelo?"

Nico replied, "Nothing." And that was the truth. He had no family left besides Hazel and she had gone off with Frank, so he had nowhere to go. Unless he wanted to spend Christmas in the underworld with his father.

"What! Then you coming with me." Said Will

Three days later and after much arguing Nico shadow traveled Will and himself to the Solace residence.

And that is how Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades who dressed in all black, found himself walking up the steps of a bright yellow two story house. Next to Will Solace when the door was flung open and Will was tackled to the ground bringing Nico with him.
