Wedding Day Kisses: A SolAngelo Fanfic

Hazel had been trying to track down Nico for the past week. Her and Frank's wedding was just over a week away and she still had to ask Nico a very important question. After wandering around for half an hour she finally spotted two boys. One with blonde hair and the other with black.

"Nico! Will!" Hazel called out to the couple.

Nico heard his named being called so he looked up over his shoulder. His half sister Hazel was coming straight for them. "Hazel?" He asked.

"Hey! I've been looking for you!" Hazel called as she neared the couple. She smiles at Nico. "Nico, would take the honor and be my Maid of Honor?"

"W-what?!" Nico asked. "Uh.. Isn't it a little late in your wedding plans to ask that?"

Hazel planted her hands on her hips. "I would've asked you sooner but you kept disappearing of to Zeus knows where every time I tried to find you." She said, then a happy glimmer came to her eyes. "So will you accept?"

Nico thought for a moment. He sighed and nodded. "Okay. I'll do it. But if I do, it's not maid of honor."

"You could be the flower boy." Will teases, a smile stretching across his lips.
"Why not? We've already got a ring bearer." Hazel agrees. "But I'm glad you accepted."

Nico sent a small glare to will, but the smile on his face showed that he wasn't all annoyed.

Hazel beamed and grabbed Nico's hand. "Then it's settled. And since we have such a short amount of time, you're getting fitted. Right now to be exact. Sorry Will I need to borrow him for a few hours." She then lead Nico away.

"Don't mind me, I really want to see the outcome though." Will called after the siblings.

Nico waved to Will as he was being dragged off.

After spending at least two hours at the tailor Hazel was finally satisfied with Nico's suit they left and she took him out to eat.

Nico sat down in a booth at McDonalds with a sigh. "That was terrible." He muttered.

Hazel stifles a chuckle. "It wasn't that bad. Frank says that he had it worse because I made him try on at least fifteen different suits before we found one we both liked." She sat across the booth from him and took a sip of her soda.

He sighed. "I know that now that I'm the man of honor, I have to go to the rehearsal dinner and stuff. I mean, as the brother of the bride it's expected, but now I'm actually part of your line, I will HAVE to. So what time?"

"The dinner starts at six this coming Tuesday." Hazel responds.

"Okay." Nico nodded.

Will was walking across the green when he caught sight of Nico carting a large clothing bag toward his cabin. Will chuckled, he wondered what the suit looked like. "Hey Nico!" Will called before the door to the Hades cabin shut.

Nico looked up from the ground. "Hey Will." He said as the blond approached him.

"Hey," Will smiled. "How'd it go? I see you've got your suit all ready."

"It took forever." Nico grumbled. "But, yeah. My suit is ready."

"At least she didn't make you wear a dress like the rest of the bridesmaids." Will laughed at the thought. "Although you do have the figure to pull it off."

"Shut up." Nico stated and acted like he was going to shut the door.

Will put a hand on the door to keep it open. "I didn't mean that as an insult." He said lightly.

"I-" Nico was at lost for words, so he just turned and set his bag down on the nearest bed.

"Well, I better get going, it's almost dinner time." Will walks out of the door.

"Yeah. See you." Nico said, still not looking at Will in an attempt to hide his blush.

As Will walked Hazel passed him. They said hello to each other and went their ways. Hazel continued on to the Hades cabin. When she entered she found a blushing Nico.
Hazel smiled. "Why are you blushing? Did Will say something?"

"What?! N-no." Nico protested, his face now burning a bit hotter.

Hazel gave him a look that said 'yes he did and don't you dare leave out details.'

"Hazel it was nothing! I was complaining about how long we took today, and he commented on how at least you didn't make me get a dress, that's it." He said, leaving out the small ending that actually had him blushing.

"That is so adorable." Hazel happily sighs.

It was now two days before the wedding and Hazel was talking to Persephone about the flower wreaths each of her bridesmaids were going to wear. They had decided to make each one reflect the spirit and personality of the specific bridesmaid it was intended for. She had already gotten all of the others taken care of, now the only person left was Nico. Hazel wasn't sure what flower would most accurately reflect Nico.

"Your brother is a challenging one. Maybe.." The goddess mused partly to herself, trying to help Hazel. "A calla lily perhaps?" She wondered aloud.

At that moment Demeter came in. She carried a box of off-brand cereal. "Calla lilies would fit him quite nicely. So would red tulips and sweet peas. That boy needs to open his eyes and see what's in front of him." She reached into the box, pulled out a handful of cereal, and ate it. "The other one, the Apollo boy, he would look quite nice with a yellow chrysanthemum boutonniere."

"What do they mean?" Hazel asks, sounding slightly confused.

"Calla lilies mean somber and grave, red tulips mean a declaration of love, and sweet peas mean shyness. Together all three of these flowers reflect a part of Nico. The chrysanthemum on the other hand means secret admirer." Demeter responds as she grabs another handful of cereal and eats it.

"Perfect, then it's decided." Hazel states with a grin.

"I'll get to work then. Mother, would you like to help?" Persephone asked.

"Of course, I'd like to put a bit of magic in his wreath. Maybe it'll get him to see what he's got." Demeter says as several baskets of different flowers appear at her feet.

"Yes, of course." Persephone smiles. She sat down to help the other goddess.

Hazel smiled then remembered she had somewhere else to be. "I have to go pick up some jewelry, but thank you for helping me with this." With that said she hurried off to finish the rest of her to do list for the day.

Annabeth was helping Nico with his flower wreath. She intertwined the stems into his hair which was just long enough to work. When she finished she swore that she saw it glow dimly. Thinking that it was probably something she shouldn't meddle with she said nothing.

"There you go, all finished." Annabeth told Nico as she handed him a mirror.

He sighed and looked at himself. "Thanks Annabeth." He said.

She smiles, "No problem."

He stood up from his seat and looked around the room. It was almost time for the line to walk out. Everyone lines up and links arms with their assigned partner. The music begins to play and the doors open.

Hazel was standing behind directly behind Nico as they waited for the few partners walked out. Soon it is comes to be Nico's turn to walk out. He walks down the aisle toward the alter, and stops where all other maids had. He turned and watched Hazel walk down the aisle.

Everyone stood as Hazel made her way down the aisle. This was a special day, and what made it even more special is that Pluto was the one to give her away.
The ceremony went on smoothly and now the reception had started. She and Frank were having their first dance as a married couple. After the first dance everyone enjoyed themselves.

It was toward the end of the reception and Will was finally able to find Nico and talk to him for the first time in three days.

"Hey." Will basically shouts over the music blasting from the speakers. "Nice flower crown you got there."

Nico looked up at Will's head. "Where did yours go?"

"I didn't have to wear one. I was just a spectator." Will responds almost teasingly. "But Hazel did make me wear this boutonnière."

A group of Demeter girls giggled and stared in their direction.

Nico glanced briefly at the girls. "Uh.. You got lucky there. Leo wasn't so lucky."

Will laughed. "What did he expect when he's the flowerboy?"

"I don't know what he expected. But I hope it wasn't..that." He gestured to Leo who was on the dance floor still wearing the ridiculous outfit.

Will chuckled. "He looks ridiculous. Almost painfully so."

"Exactly my point." Nico said as he turned to go outside. "The reception is almost over. Want to help me remove the flowers?"

"Sure. It looks really intricate though. I'm not sure I'll be able to untangle then without destroying the flowers." Will says as he takes a closer look at how the stems of the flowers are woven into Nico's hair.

"Like I care about the flowers.." Nico mumbled as he made his way outside into the surrounding garden.

They found a set of patio chairs not too far from the party. They sat down and Will went to work on deconstructing the intricate weaving that held the wreath in place. All of the calla lilies came out fairly easily, then he started working on the tulips and sweet peas.

Nico sat still looking at Will's neck and chest as he was being de-flowered. The sweet-peas slowly fell to the ground leaving only the red tulips.

When Will got to the tulips a pressure started to build in his chest. Each tulip made his fingers tingle. Before he had taken out even half of the tulips the swelling pressure was too much and there were major butterflies fluttering around in his stomach.

Nico bit the inside if his lip as his heart started pounding. Butterflies where coming to life in his own stomach and he didn't know how to stop them. He glanced up at Will and blinks. When he opens his eyes he finds that Will had moved. Their lips where pressed firmly together, and Nico's hand where tangled in Will's blond locks.

Will had no idea what had come over him but he couldn't take it anymore. So when he felt his lips meet Nico's and the other boy's hands tangle in his hair, it felt...right. Like it was supposed to happen. Will put his own hands on Nico's chair so as to lean more deeply into the kiss.

Nico's eyes fluttered shut once again as he leaned into the kiss.

Hazel had wandered away from the disbanding party. And much to her delight she found two lovebirds kissing. She knew if this went on much longer certain clothing items may get lost.

So she politely coughed to make her presence known. She couldn't help but smirk when Will nearly jumped out of his skin and landed on the cobblestones.

Nico turned in his seat as quickly as he could when the sudden kiss was interrupted. "H-hazel?" He asked while trying to calm his racing heart and flaming face.

She walked over to her brother and kissed him on the cheek. She handed him a slip of paper and said, "There's a car waiting, go to the address, room number 312."
Hazel smiled again. She was happy to see that her, Persephone, and. Demeter's plan worked. Although maybe a bit too well.

Will picked himself off of the ground and stood next the Nico, his own face burning with the embarrassment of getting caught.

"W-what?! Hazel!" Nico called after her as she walked away, but she didn't turn around.

His face was ablaze, once again, and he looked down at the slip of paper in his hand.

Will had recovered enough to stand by Nico's side and watch as Hazel walked away. His face felt so hot due to his blush, that he thought his dad had parked the sun car on it. He shifted from foot to foot as his gaze turned to the paper in Nico's hand.

"Is that for...." Will asked slowly not wanting to finish his sentence.

"What?" Nico asked looking up from the paper. "This? It's..uh.. "

"It's a hotel, in New York, right?" He asked his face burning hotter.

He nodded slowly.

Will knew that if he didn't seise this opportunity he may never be able to confess to Nico. Will grabbed Nico's hand and pulled him up, sweeping him into another kiss.

"Then what are we waiting for?" He mutters against Nico's lips.
