Nico loved space and the idea of space. It started with Nico and Bianca staring at constellations and making their own myths to go along with them. It was some of the best times he ever had in his life. His dream of going to space had died with Bianca. She died at her school when she had gone back inside to try and save some younger children, but before she could fully leave, a beam crushed her. Nico was bitter and angry for almost 7 years, but when he found a diary Bianca had in her room, he quickly went to beg his father for money for college.

And here he was, standing proudly with his blue button down and khaki pants, he graduated the NASA program, and he was waiting to be called to get his certificate. "Mr. Nico Di Angelo!" before Nico could even get on stage, his half-sister hazel was screaming happily and holding up a pom pom chanting his name. Nico laughed softly and stepped up and took his certificate smiling widely at his family's proud faces. He also laughed when Persephone pulled Hazel down in an embarrassing fit. Nico was sure he would never meet somebody better than his whole family. After Nico's depression, they did everything to cheer him up, and he was sure that without those ray of sunshine's, he wouldn't be standing here today. Who could ever be like them?

Will honestly found it cute that Nico's family was so loud for him. He hadn't talked to the Italian much, but the male seemed interesting. They were partnered up a few times, so he was sure they would be commissioned to the same assignment. They already outsmarted everybody else as a team, so why would they split them up? He would admit he found some attraction to the Italian, but he knew it would never amount to anything. He playfully hit his back, "Crazy family huh?" he smiled at him.

"It's all my half-sister man." He laughed and turned to him. "Where is your family?" he asked curiously and held his certificate close to his chest.

"Ah... she doesn't live anywhere close." He shrugged "She facetimed me earlier and I told her I would send her a picture." He smiled widely at the male. He then went to take his phone out, "How about we take one together?" he asked. Nico nodded and held his certificate up and smiled as the picture was taken.

Nico quickly took the phone and sent it to himself "That's really cute! Thanks" he hummed happily. Will laughed, "Hope we get commissioned together' He winked and went to go towards his cabin, Nico going to melt as soon as the door closed. Will was quite honestly a god in mortal form. He remembered drawings of Greek gods, some attractive and some not. He swore Will was more attractive than any drawing of Apollo. The way his smile radiated the room, how his eyes sparkled when he won something, he was gorgeous. If he didn't end up with him, what was the point of all of this?

Nico yawned as he turned his alarm off and got out of bed. He was in training for a mission out to space. He was good at keeping a ship stable, so he didn't end up at the same place as Will. but that was okay he guessed. Will was good at piloting, actually amazing at it. He went to put on his uniform and stumbled out to the training area where he was stopped by the teacher. Her name was Annabeth, one of the smartest girls he knew. "Nico! I know this is sudden but..." she then rambled. The basic rundown of what she said, was that he already proved he was ready and would be commissioned to the Sirius drover planter. He was ecstatic because she also teased him by saying Will might be there, which he didn't mind because he made his way to his cabin room to pack only his essential clothes.

Nico sighed as he saw will, relieved when he waved at him frantically. They greeted each other with a hug and talked about what they had been doing lately. When they sat down, they heard some of the head leaders talking about what they needed.

"I've missed you" Will said softly, causing Nico to look up curiously. Maybe will liked him? "Me too, I'm glad to be here with you" the Italian admitted. They were called and they both shot up and were assigned to check the vitals of the planter ship. They both went inside and checked the computers and such, making dorky computer sounds every so often. When Nico finished, he saw will staring at him and found out Will was.. Red.

"Hey Nico?" he stuttered out and then silently cursed at himself. He walked forward and rubbed the back of his neck, "I'd rather we not have our first date in space but... i want to go out with you Nico." he said and Nico held his other hand and coughed nervously "Who- wha- me?" he laughed a bit astounded. Will then snorted, and they both laughed holding onto each other for support.

Will lifted Nico's chin and looked at him. "Does that mean yes?" he asked softly, face still red from laughing and embarrassment. Nico nodded and got on his toes, pressing his lips against his. Will held him closer, keeping his hands on his waist before being interrupted, "Alright love birds, I've gotta make finishing touches!" a curly-haired latino teased, causing both of them to stumble out. Nico looked at will and they both snorted and went to report their findings to the head leaders. Well, everything but them finding out they liked each other.
