Leo's POV

Okay here we go Leo. You can knock on a door. Don't be the asshole who beeps the horn or texts them to come out. I opened the car door after parking on the driveway. Damn I just wanna take apart these cars and put them back together. No no no focus Leo. Focus.

The house was nice, I could tell they had money. I walked up to the door, suddenly feeling underdressed. I was wearing my good jeans that aren't ripped or oil stained, a nice dark red button down and dress shoes. There was no way to tame my hair besides grease it back and there was no way I'm doing that so I left it as the curly mess it was. Taking a breath, I knock on the door, waiting. It opened a few seconds later and I saw who I assumed was Nico's sister.

"Oh you must be Leo!" She grinned. "Please come inside, Nico's acting like a girl, taking years to get ready."

"Uh yeah.." I return the smile. "You're his sister right?"

"Yeah, I'm Bianca." She smiles.

I look behind her to see their dad sitting in the living room, staring at me with a hard expression before it was gone when their mother came and whacked his head.

"Don't be rude Hades." She snaps.

"Stop calling me that. It's Hayde." He rolls his eyes.

"You work in a morgue! You might as well be called Hades." She says. "And enough with that glare you're giving. Go say hi, be nice."

"Stephanie please I'm fine where I am."

She leans down to whisper in his ear and he stiffens, getting up. Stephanie smiled, following him and now it was my turn to stiffen. I haven't known Nico that long and I'm already meeting his parents, oh god.

Hayde walks up to me and shakes my hand. "Nice to meet you Leo."

"Y-You too Mr Di Angelo." I say.

"Oh no need to be scared, he's a teddy bear when you get to know him." Stephanie asusres. "But it's so good to meet the boy who made my son a hero.

"Uh yeah.." I say awkwardly. "Good to meet the parents of said hero, Mrs Di Angelo." I smile.

"Stop pestering him!" Nico snaps, coming down the stairs and I pause, staring at him.

He was wearing black skinny jeans, nice shoes and a light gray button down with some black heart design over where his heart is. His hair still looked heavenly, it curls around his face and I love it every time I see it.

"Oh you two are just precious." Mrs Di Angelo grins.

Nico's cheeks tinged pink and I just wanted to kiss them.

"Otp." Bianca whispers, taking a picture of us before running off.

"Bia!" Nico yells in annoyance but she was already up the stairs and in her room.

"Alright c'mon I need a picture too!" His mom grin and Nico grabs my hand and leading me out.

"Bye!" He waved and I laugh as we go to my car.

I hop into the drivers seat and he in the passengers. "Your family seems nice." I chuckle.

"They're crazy." Nico groans.

"Nah, they don't seem that bad. But I guess I'd have to live with them to know them." I shrug as we drive off.

Nico sighs. "Sorry for taking so long."

"Nah its okay." I assure.

"Where are we going?" He asks.

"That's a surpise." I grinned.

After another few minutes of driving and terribly singing to songs, we get to the restaurant. Nico's eyes lit up when we got there.

Ristorante Divino

"Oh I love this place." He grins. "But did you choose Italian cause that's my heritage?"

"Nah.." I joke. "Maybe. Plus this is a nice place."

"It's also pretty expensive.." Nico hesitates.

"Oh don't worry I got it covered." I assure and he blushed.

"You don't have to pay for me you know." He says.

"That's what bo-" I stop. Shit. "Friends do right?"

Nico frowns. "So it's not a date?"

What. What. Oh fuck. Oh fuuuuck. I messed up. Shit shit shit. It is a date but I got scared shitty shit fuck.

"No no it is I just... fuck." I groan, head hitting the steering wheel and suddenly I'm glad I parked.

Nico laughed. He started laughing. He actually started fucking laughing.

"Is it a date or not Valdez?" He teases.

"Yes it's a date oh god." I say, cracking a smile.

"Then you can start by asking properly." He says and I stare at him in confusion. "Over text.. really Leo? That's how you ask someone out?"

The realization hits me like a slap in the face. "Sorry I just.. fuck I'm so bad."

"Leo you know I'm kidding right?" He chuckles.

"You're an asshole." I say under my breath.

"I heard that, dipshit." Nico laughs.

We both start laughing like idiots and I turn off the car before we hit something we shouldn't have.

"Let's go eat." I say once we calm down. "We're already twenty minutes late to the reservation cause you took so long." I tease.

"Oh shut up!" Nico whined as we both get out. "Skinny jeans are hard to get into."

"Why'd you wear them then?" I ask.

"They make my butt look cute." He pouts.

"You're so gay." I laugh.

"Says the guy who wanted to wear suspenders on a date." Nico said.

"How'd you-"

"They were on the floor by my feet." He says and I facepalm.

We go into the restaurant and get seated quickly when I gave the name.

"So it is a date?" Nico teased.

"Yes it is." I smile.

Yes it is.
