The whole room seemed to come to a halt as the student council president and the dean took the stage to announce the prom king and queen. Of all the stupid traditions of the prom, Nico believed this one to be the stupidest. Who cared about the cutest couple? All of it seemed so frivolous after all he'd been through.

"First we will bring up the 3 nominated couple." The dean motioned to the president who started reading names off a list. Nico didn't know the first 4, but he was very surprised when Annabeth and Percy were announced as the last couple. The worst part was he wasn't the only one surprised. Annabeth just sat there in shock before Percy shook her and took her hand. They ascended to the stage and suddenly Nico did care.

It seemed almost poetic that he was watching his old crush be nominated as prom king. At least he had good taste. Nico looked across the table and noticed Will wasn't there.

"Hey Piper." Nico called, trying to get the girl's attention.

"Yeah?" She responded, not taking her eyes off the stage.

"Where'd blondie go?" She looked to Jason before realizing he meant Will.

"Bathroom I think." Nico just nodded in response as the crowd went silent for the crowning.

"And your prom king and prom queen is Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson." Piper and Jason went wild, whooping and cheering for their friends. Annabeth put her hand to her face, desperately trying to hide her smile. Percy gave her a kiss before he got his crown. Nico was surprised to find that he didn't get that little twang of sadness that he normally did seeing them kiss. He was just sincerely happy for them.

"Now the king and queen will share their first dance." The president walked off the stage and led Annabeth and Percy to the dance floor. It was then that Will emerged onto the stage carrying a guitar.

"This goes out to the king, the queen, and my sunshine." He spoke into the microphone before he started playing.

'You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.'

Nico froze as the boy made eye contact with him. He just stared in disbelief as Will played the song.

"This song…it's..I'm…" he couldn't complete a full sentence, as he looked to Piper for answers.

"Get up there dumbo." She just said, trying her best to push him out of the chair.

'Please don't take my sunshine away.' Will sang as his playing was replaced with a recording of the song. He handed his guitar to Percy and took the mic.

"I know that Percy may have won the crown, but you've won my heart. I wrote this speech to be super cheesy and to embarrass you as much as possible, so Nico di Angelo, will you do me the honor of giving me this dance?" Nico would've shadow travelled away if he could've but the eyes of everyone at the prom were on him.

"You idiot." He declared, making his way to the taller boy who now stood in the middle of the dance floor. He let out his right hand and punched the taller boy straight across the face.

"But I'm your idiot." Will added, smiling down at the shorter boy and rubbing his cheek. Nico closed the distance between the two with a kiss as the entire room erupted into applause. There was the definite cheering of both Jason and Percy, but it didn't matter. Will and Nico might as well have been alone in the world when they broke apart from that kiss.

As the song drew to a close, Nico and Will walked back to their table. Piper and Annabeth hugged him, which made Nico tense up before giving in and hugging them back.

"I swear, one day I will get you 3 back for putting me through that." Nico swore. And he would make good on that. Will just laughed and intertwined his fingers with Nico's.

"Based on that blush, I'd say we succeeded." He remarked, kissing the smaller boy's cheek.

"Thanks for the help ladies. It was so much easier thanks to you." Nico looked at him with a mix of anger and confusion.

"Don't get mad at me angel, you were the oblivious one. I've been hitting on you for weeks now. You're the only one who didn't notice." With frustration painting his face, Nico looked around for confirmation.

"Dude, I was in New Rome and I could tell he liked you." Jason added, getting a stink eye from Piper to play nice.

"Yeah, I'm the king of not noticing people's feelings and even I could tell. Plus I live with him." Percy added, putting his arm on Will's shoulder and placing his crown on his head. If Nico wasn't so happy right then, he might've gotten angry at them.

"Why didn't you say something instead of pulling that stunt?" Nico asked Will, still embarrassed about the song.

"If I had you would have ignored it anyway. You had it decided that there was no way I could like you back so I had to pull a grand gesture to get you out of your head. In my defense, it did work." Nico just put his face on Will's chest, burying his shame.

"Fine, fine. I get it. I'm oblivious. But if you ever do anything like that again, I will send you to the underworld myself." The group all laughed at his pathetic attempt at a threat and sat down. The rest of the evening was all mushed together, since nothing could live up to the song.

"So how did I do?" Will asked as the group prepared to leave. He placed his arm around Nico's shoulder, pulling him into himself.

"With what?" Nico replied, grabbing Will's hand and holding it tight.

Will took Nico's hand and used it to twirl him until he faced him face to face.

"Was this the best night ever?" The taller boy asked, leaning close to Nico's face to get eye-to-eye.

Nico seemed to think about it before nodding. "The gods themselves couldn't have created a better night. You stupid tall idiot."

Then they kissed, and all that Nico had thought impossible was now possible. He had a handsome boyfriend, and wonderful friends, it was now that he thought about his father's words, 'My children are so rarely happy. I would like to see you be an exception.'

He was so happy, Will made him happy. And this happiness is something that he deserved.

And they lived happily ever after.

I tried my best to make this a really cute ending. So I hope you enjoyed my little prom story drabble. I sure did. As always read and review.
