A Very Half-Blood Marriage

Chasing Happiness

Prologue: Emptiness (of the Heart and the Apartment)

Nico groaned as he kicked the door of the apartment close. It was dark and silent and unsettling. Nico hated coming home to an empty apartment. It was downright depressing.

"Meow!" - "Wuff!"

Right, not entirely empty. Nico gave Small Bob and Mrs. O'Leary a small smile as the pets greeted their master. Dropping his jacket on the floor, Nico ruffled Mrs. O'Leary's fur. The hellhound looked grateful, her tongue hanging out. Kicking his shoes off, Nico went to the kitchen and grabbed something microwave-heatable. He was starving, but cooking for himself really was pointless. Without Percy and the adorable, little sounds and praises that the son of Poseidon would give him, cooking really lost its appeal to Nico. Pushing the container into the microwave, he slouched down onto a chair, watching how the food turned and turned and turned. It was boring.

"Meow", growled Small Bob and jumped onto the table, nudging Nico.

"Yeah, I miss Percy too", sighed Nico, caressing the skeleton cat.

The cat hissed, as though it wanted to say 'Well, then get our Percy back'. Nico huffed. His food was finished. Getting up, he took the food out and grabbed a fork before walking to the living room, turning the TV on and collapsing on the couch. That way, he would at least get some kind of entertainment. Gods, how had he ever survived before he had gotten together with Percy? It was like a miracle to him now. Then again, he had spend most of his time hiding in the underworld back then. Speaking of, why exactly was he in the apartment anyway? It was too empty and stupid without Percy. He could as well go to the underworld. Except... Hades had made it very clear that Nico would not be accepted down there if he was 'just going to mope about that stupid sea brat anyway'. So he was sort of stuck here at the moment.

"Hey there, loser."

Nico basically jumped out of his skin at the sudden voice. The punk-girl leaning against his door-frame had a mischievous grin on her lips. So had the two reasons why she was inside the house, better known as the Stoll brothers. Nico cocked one eyebrow.

"You've been sulking for days, dude", observed Travis and walked up to him.

Connor and Lou followed up and all three got comfortable on Nico's couch. He ignored them and continued eating. He was very busy sulking, he didn't need them to poke fun at him. He hadn't slept in days. How was he supposed to sleep without Percy safely in his arms?!

"Dude, stop making that face. You look like a puppy that got kicked by its master and put out onto the streets", snorted Connor amused. "You got beer in the fridge?"

"Yeah. Be my guest", countered Nico sarcastically.

"Oh, come on. Don't be like that", whined Lou and nudged her best friend. "You're acting like Percy is the only thing you have in your life and without him, you're nothing."

"You summarized that pretty good", muttered Nico beneath his breath.

Lou cocked one eyebrow and turned toward the Stolls. They had come together here to cheer the Ghost King up, but apparently cheer was not on Nico's plan for the day. Rolling her eyes, Lou took one of the beers that Travis brought them. This boy was such a drama queen.

"It's only been three days now, Niccoló di Angelo", stated Lou sternly.

"Three days without sleep for me. Three days of being all alone. Three days of not kissing or holding Percy. Ever since we got together, we haven't been apart for that long", replied Nico.

"Four more days, man. You'll live for four more days", grunted Travis, rolling his eyes.

"I doubt it", huffed Nico with something very close to a pout on his lips.

"If you shadow-travel to Percy, your sister will know and she will kick you in the balls", warned Connor, sipping his beer. "Come on, one week without your fiance before the wedding. That's really not that hard to manage, Nico. After that, you get hitched and can be together forever."

"But why did she insist that Percy and I do this stupid thing?", whined Nico and took a beer for himself. "If she, Frank and Leo want to, I don't care. But I want my Percy back!"

"It'll make the wedding day more special?", suggested Lou with a shrug. "A week no sex, kissing, not even seeing each other. So when you actually get married, seeing each other will be all the more special and beautiful. Come on, four more days. You can do it."

Four more days and Nico would get to marry the love of his life. Still, right now he regretted that he had agreed to a double wedding with his sister, because the old-fashioned girl wanted to feign innocence and all, so she had declared that the parties involved should stay away from each other for one week before the wedding. Hazel was staying in New Rome, Frank was staying over at Clarisse's, Leo was living with Jake and Will for that time. And thanks to the fact that Nico got to share his wedding with them, Percy had been all eager to do the same thing, so he had packed up and left to live with his mother and Paul in New York for that week. Okay, Nico understood that it surely also was nice to spend some quality time with his parents again. After all, Sally's little baby boy would be a married man by the time next Thursday rolled around.

Mister Perseus di Angelo. Nico smiled faintly. Maybe that was worth the torture of not seeing or holding his Percy for a whole week, if he got to have his husband every day for the rest of his life.

Author's note: This is IT! The one big fic I will be writing about Nico's and Percy's wedding and marriage! Been planning this for a real long time now and the other "A Very Half-Blood"-stories have kind of been building up to this, with how they got together, engaged and all that jazz. I just couldn't write "aaand they get married" without the proper build-up of their relationship beforehand. This is also sort of a prequel to the Chasing-stories.

Next chapter will show Percy's side of things. He doesn't miss Nico all too much - he's too busy to; he's still fighting with the flowers and the seating arrangements, after all. Also, he's trying to figure out how to make the Big Three behave on his wedding.
