Piper: Ugh Reyna is so damn beautiful
Jason: Don't be jealous, Piper
Piper:
[several months later]
Piper, waking up in a cold sweat: Oh my gods, I wasn't jealous, I was gay.
Underrated Nico thing is that he just knows everyone, he's such a deus ex machina. The Romans? Nico has an in. Titens? He's pretty good friends with one. Overlooked gods? They take him out for lunch on Fridays. A hat wearing frog race that live deep underground and haven't been seen in thousands of years? Not only does Nico know them, he speaks their language.
He seems closed off but the boy will make friends with literally anything that will have him
Will: look, you have to eat something!
Nico: like an apple? *Throws apple at Will's head*
Will, easily catches it: oh yes, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' very mature😒
Hera *appears out of nowhere*: so you have chosen marriage.
Nico: what
Will: what
Demigods just trying to eat their lunch in peace: what
Mr. D and Chiron: oh shit-
Hera: prove to me of your devotion to each other by undergoing three trials of my choice. Only then will I bless this union. If you fail, then the marriage is destined to fail as well. *Vanishes*
Nico: 👁️👄👁️
Will: you know... I always imagined I'd be the one to propose...
Nico: 👁️👄👁️
Will: why don't we go prepare for these mystery trials? You can help me pick out some armor. Unless that accidentally calls upon Ares to make us battle each other to the death
Nico: 👁️👄👁️
Will: I'm just saying why didn't SOMEONE *glares at Chiron and Mr. D* warn us about this???
Chiron: you know the myth of ancient Greeks proposing to each other by the throwing and catching of apples. It's derived from the story of-
Will: yes, yes, when Aphrodite and Hera and Athena fight over the apple that someone threw their way that read 'to the fairest' or whatever. They each argued the apple belonged to them. But you never said something like this could happen now!! That if someone throws and catches an apple here that it counts as a proposal!!
Mr. D: i thought it would be funnier if we didn't warn anyone
Chiron: I had to stop him from creating a camp activity that was just dodgeball with apples
Mr. D: which I still think would've been hilarious. I'm surprised it's taken so long for this to happen tbh
Chiron: yeah sorry about that, it's been so long I honestly forgot. What do the kids say nowadays? "My bad."
Will: I'm ENGAGED and you can only say 'my bad??' Look! You broke Nico!
Nico: 💀💀💀
Mr. D: eh it's just wedding jitters. He'll be fine
Will: Nico? Nico, it's okay. We'll find a way out of this-
Nico: I can't believe I'm marrying the love of my life 🥺
Will:
Will:
Will, deciding William di Angelo has a nice ring to it: oh okay, good 🥺
ayo fuck rick riordan they r married
Nico: You have more qualities than you think William *points to Will's chest* you have this.
Will:
Will: I have great tits yeah
Nico:
Nico: I was talking about your heart, why the fuck do I even like you-
Nico: Adoption is hard. I just wanna make sure we find the perfect fit for our family
Will: *who's been there for three hours* Please just pick a goddamn plant, Nico
Not me consuming queer books like oxygen
Leo, skeptically: Can you really glow?
Will: Uh huh. *starts glowing*
Leo, sarcastically: That’s pretty good, but I mean does he come in any other colours?
Nico, smirking: He sure does. Watch.
Nico: *whispers something into Will’s ear*
Will: *turns bright red*
Nico: Ta-da!
Leo: Okay yeah, your boyfriend’s pretty cool.
Leo: I’m well aware that I’ve accidentally set myself on fire and it’s none of your business. I don’t need your pity water either. Let me burn in peace.
Ain’t much but it helps for the length of an episode
