A/N Hey guys! Two chapters in one day wow! I just want to say, thank you all for reading my story, I really appreciate it! Even though it isn't Christmas I really really wanna write a Christmas story so here y'all go!

'"Annabeth, Annabeth, Annabeth!" Percy yelled from the kitchen.

"Yes, Perce?" Annabeth said, coming down from the steps of the eight-story building.

"Can you help me make blue cookies?" Percy asked with those big, adorable, baby seal eyes.

Annabeth, not fazed at all by the eyes asked raising an eyebrow, "and why do you want to make cookies now?"

"Because," Percy said, his eyes brightening some more, "It's the first day of Christmas! 24 more days to go!"

"Percy, you do realize that means 24 more days to go until we have to make cookies?" Annabeth said, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, but I thought every day we could make a batch of cookies, save half of them for us, and take the other half to the nursing home five minutes away!" Percy exclaimed, already searching for ingredients.

Annabeth uncrossed her arms and her posture slightly relaxed, "Oh alright then, Nico and WIll are already grocery shopping, something about not enough green tea and honey. Do you want me to call them for more ingredients?"

"Of course Annabeth!" Percy said, getting the milk out of the fridge

"M'kay," Annabeth said sighing with a smile and pulling out her monster-safe phone, it matched the look of the latest model on the market since Leo decided the phones would be, "all that and a spicy jalapeno on the side" whatever that meant, "Hey Nico?"

"Yeah Annabeth?" came Nico's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Are you still at the Supermarket?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you mind picking up a few things for us?"

"Yeah, sure, just tell me what you need- William! Get over here!"

"Why did you call Will over?" Annabeth asked, mildly confused.

"Probably because two heads are better than one, plus he was trying to see how fast the trolly could go"

"Ah I see, can I start telling you things we need?"

"Yeah"

"Butter, sugar, eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, flour, salt, chocolate chips, cinnamon, sprinkles, buttercream, frosting, candy, baking sheets, measuring spoons, baking pans, spatulas, oven mitts, any kitchen supply you think we will need, nuts, ginger, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, peppermint extract, candy canes, food dye, especially blue, green, and red, and whatever else you think will taste good in a cookie,"

"Uh, wow Annabeth, that's a ton of stuff, I wrote it all down though, how much for each?"

Annabeth smirked, "Enough for about a thousand cookies"

Annabeth could hear a groan from the other side of the phone, "Alright then Annabeth, we'll be home in about an hour"

"Mkay Nico! Thanks so much! Bye!" Annabeth said, then hung up.

"Percy, c'mon, it's only noon, let's go see what everyone else is doing, as far as I know, only WIll and Nico are out of the house right now," Annabeth said, turning to Percy, who was chugging milk from a glass.

"Hmmm? Okay, Annabeth!" Percy grinned wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and putting the glass in the sink"

Annabeth sighed and walked to the elevator of their home.

The seven, Nico, Will, and Calypso all lived in the same house, each couple had their own floor, meaning there were five floors just for the seven's will, Nico and Calypso's rooms, there were two extra floors for guests, one floor with a pool and training area, the ground floor was for the kitchen, common area, and had a door leading to the enormous backyard, and there was this basement typed thing, it was used for tornados and had Leo's forge there.

Annabeth and Percy looked at the buttons on the elevator, each button was decorated differently, to represent each person floor. The first button had a hammer in flames, the forge and basement, the next button just had a telly on it, the common area, the one above it had a target on it, the training area, the one above it just had a bed on it, the spare floor, next one was identical to the one below it, the other spare floor, the one above that had a gold trident with an olive branch wrapped around it, the background was blue, this was Percy and Annabeth's floor, the next button had and bow and arrow, the arrow is made of diamond, the background purple, Frank and Hazel's floor, Annabeth pressed that button.

"We're going to Franks floor?" Percy asked

"Yeah, they're the ones who are most likely to be in their room anyway," Annabeth explained just as the elevator stopped and started to open.

Percy and Annabeth stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hall that went left to right, they walked for a bit until they came to a door that was painted white, which wasn't that contrasting with the light lavender walls, and had the words, Hazel and Frank delicately painted on. Annabeth knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before the door opened.

"Oh hey, Annabeth!" Hazel said happily, "What're you doing here?"

"Oh, Percy and I just wanted to see if you guys were still home, and we wanted to get everyone since we're baking cookies, I'll explain more later, but Will and Nico are coming home in an hour, so I'll have to round everyone up by then," Annabeth explained.

"You have an hour you said?"

"Yes"

"Would you like to help me and Frank out for a minute, we were trying to finish a puzzle," Hazel asked, stepping to the side

"Sounds awesome Hazy," Percy said grinning and walked into the room. Annabeth shrugged and followed behind Percy.

Hazel and Frank's room was VERY large and was painted a light red-violet colour, with different paintings, which were painted directly on the walls, scattered about. It wasn't heavily furnished but wasn't lightly furnished either. There was a large bed, a bedside table, two desks, a telly, a few beanbag chairs, three closets, and some decorations in the room. Frank and Hazel had early on decided they wanted a red and purple colour scheme, and they stuck to it.

(This is the colour scheme I'm going for, probably a bit more reddish, but you can't imagine it however you'd like, just remember it is BIG)

In one of the desks was Frank who was putting together a puzzle. Annabeth and Hazel walked over to it, while Percy kicked off his shoes and lay on the bed watching them.

In a matter of minutes, Annabeth helped Frank and Hazel finish the puzzle. Percy put his shoes back on and walked over, "Sooooooooo what is it?"

Hazel laughed and said, "It's Hogwarts Percy! I'll have to lend you the books, but right now, you two should find everyone else, I know that Leo and Calypso are in the forge, but I'm not sure about Piper and Jason. Frank and I are going to glue this puzzle together, and we'll be in the living room in a few."

"Okay! Have fun you two!" Annabeth said, and walked out of the room and to the elevator, with Percy close behind

....... /////// ....... /////// ....... ///////

Once Annabeth and Percy had gotten onto the elevator, they looked at the button, after Frazel, was a black button with a circle that was half skull half sun, WIll and Nico's floor, Annabeth shook her head, they were the supermarket. Above it was a flower against an orange background, Leo and Calypso's floor, they were in the forge, the button of the very top had a heart with a lighting lot across it against a light blue surface, Jason and Piper's floor, Annabeth clicked that button.

"Hey, Annabeth?" Percy asked

"Yeah Percy?"

"Can we do a Secret Santa? Like how we did it back at Camp?"

"Of course!" Annabeth said happily," if we draw the cards today, we can have about 3 weeks to look for presents! Nice planning Perce"

"I know," Percy said grinning as the doors of the elevator opened.

The couple stepped out and was greeted by a light blue wall, they walked a bit further down and saw a white door with a wooden sign that had swirly burnings that said, "Jason & Piper" Annabeth knocked on the door and waited a few minutes before Jason opened it.

"Oh! Hey there Percy, Annabeth," Jason said with a nod of his head towards each.

"Hey bro!" Percy said happily, "I had this great idea to bake cookies, and Will and Nico are buying ingredients, and we're going to do a secret Santa, and Annabeth is gonna explain more when we go down to the living room! C'mon!"

"Okay then, slow your roll bro, we were just at the training area, so Pipes is in the shower, I promise we'll go down to the common room later kay?"

"Yeah alright Jason, Percy and I are going to go get Leo and Calypso, can you tell Pipes to bring some Secret Santa supplies with her?"

"I have a better idea," Percy said, "How about Jason and I go down to get Leo and you go tell Pipes about the Secret Santa thing"

"Nice idea Percy!" Jason said, fist-bumping his bro, and looked over to Annabeth for confirmation

"I'm not stopping you two," Annabeth said with a smile and walked a bit over the next door which was also white, but the wooded sign on it said bathroom. (Each floor is split into thirds, not equal thirds, but thirds. one there was the bedroom, the other third the bathroom, and the other third whatever else the person would like. With the exception of Will and Nico, they're extra thing also doubled as a medical bay, so it had an art studio and medical bay. Each couple designed their own floor plan, and for Jason and Piper's case, their "extra thing" was a large balcony with a jacuzzi on it).

Annabeth walked in and yelled, "Hey Pipes! It's me" and the yelling was necessary since the bathroom looked a lot like this

Annabeth saw Piper sitting happily in a bubble bath in the gigantic bathtub, which was about 7 feet long. The entire room smelled like roses and lavender.

"Hey there Piper," Annabeth said much quieter (not that that's much)

"Hey Annabae, whatcha doing in here?" Piper said, sitting up a little in the tub, her hair was soaked through and her kaleidoscope eyes were grey-blue at the moment, reflecting the water and bubbles.

"Well, Percy had an idea-"

Piper snorted, "Are you sure this is safe?"

"Yes Pipes," Annabeth said laughing lightly, "Of course it's safe. The idea was for us to bake cookies every day until Christmas. Half of the batch will go to the nursing home five minutes away, and we'll keep half the batch."

"Sounds good to me, as long as we get to have raspberry thumbprint cookies," Piper said reaching for the plug.

"And also, Secret Santa, we wanted your help with that," Annabeth added, "You still have the supplies from last year?"

"Oh yes, of course! Here, why don't you make sure everyone's not trying to kill each other in the com room?" Piper said, "I'll be down there with eh basket in 20"

"Great! Thanks, Pipes!"

"Welcome Annabae!"

....... /////// ******* /////// ....... /////// *******

"NICO DIANGELO I REFUSE TO LET YOU SHADOW TRAVEL"

"Will, Sunshine, I'm 22, I can take care of myself," Nico said, shadow travelling behind WIll with seven boxes of food dye in his hands.

"NICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Shush Solace," Nico said happily and put the food dye into the second overfilled shopping cart, and crossed food dye off the list.

"That was the last thing I'm pretty sure," Will said happily.

Nico clicked his tongue and said, "Annabeth said anything we thought would taste good on cookies, we're going to go get powdered sugar, and anise,"

"Uh, Neeks? Isn't anise a spice?" Will asked

"Yeah, why?"

"It's a medical spice?"

"Yes, it is used in medicine, but it can be used in cookies," Nico said, then shadow travelled to the spices, got some anise, shadow travelled to where the powdered sugar was and came back all within a minute.

"Agh! Nicooooooooooooooo," WIll complained when Nico dumped the powdered sugar and anise into their toppling cart.

"Let's go," Nico said strolling off in the direction of the checkout line.

When Will and Nico got to the checkout line the cashier looked as if they were about to faint. WIll looked at the name tag, "Hullo there Mellisa!" he said brightly in his southern drawl.

"Mkay ma'am" Nico said less than brightly, "if you can get us out of there within ten minutes, I'll give you 300 cash, kay?"

The lady nodded quickly while Will and Nico started loading things onto the conveyer belt. Mellisa managed to get Will and Nico done in seven minutes.

"Your total is 1234.56 dollars sirs," Mellisa said quietly.

"Thank you so much Mellisa, and here's 600 for your help," Nico said, pulling out his credit card and handing it to Mellisa before pulling out an all-black credit card and swiping.

"Uh, sorry sir, you said 300 before, here's another 300 back," Mellisa said shakily giving Nico 3 of the hundred dollar bills back.

"No, no, keep it, and since you're so kind and honest," Nico said pulling another 300 out, "here's 400 more, this should pay for your rent this month,"

"Thank you so much, sir!" Mellisa blurted out, pocketing the bills

"No problem, we're gonna head out now, thanks so much 'Lissa" WIll said brightly, pushing the carts to the exit of the store.

Once they arrived at their sleek black Ferrari Will muttered, "Hey death breath, I don't think all the groceries are gonna fit,"

"Oh, no problem. Jules Albert?" Nico said

In the Ferrari's place, a smooth black van appeared, nad Jules Albert stepped out to help with the groceries.

"Thank you, sir," Nico said before loading up the car with Will and Jules Albert.

After they filled the entire back with groceries Nico told Jules Albert he could leave, and Will went over to the passenger seat to open the door for Nico, "After you, my prince" he said jokingly.

"Oh stop Solace, you flatter me too much," Nico said sliding in and buckling up.

Will closed the door and hurried over to the driver seat where they blasted some Panic! At the Disco and drove home.

Once they got home they were greeted by all of the seven and calypso in the common room.

(it looks like a mix between these two, or just both of them if that's your type)

"Hey y'all, can some of you help me and Neeks get the groceries in, there are tons," Will asked

"Yes!"s could be heard all around the room as everyone got up from their various sitting areas to help Will and Nico get the groceries.

When all the groceries were settled in the common room, Annabeth said, "Alright, I've explained to you guys what we're doing, so what kind of cookies do you guys want to make today?"

Different answers could be heard, including Piper's Rasberry Thumbprint cookie, but the main ones were chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and brownie.

"Okay, so I'm going to search up recipes, in the meantime, everyone gets the groceries into the kitchen, and o the respected holding places," Annabeth said, getting her phone from her pocket.

(again, mix these photos, or just have all three connected, doesn't matter, this is the main layout I wanted)

Once everything was put away into their holding spots (the cupboard, cabinet, fridge, the counter, etc.) Annabeth found three recipes and walked over, "So originally I had only wanted to make a batch a day, but oh well, each bath will have 36 cookies, so in total, we should have 54 for the nursing home and 54 for us, if you do the math, 3 batches. Whoever wants to make chocolate chip cookies, go to this side of the kitchen, whoever wants to make snickerdoodle, go to that area, and whoever wants to make brownie over there." Annabeth then handed a recipe (let's just pretend she printed it out) to Jason and Piper.

The chocolate cookie side had Percy, Annabeth, and Will,  Snickerdoodle area had Calypso, Nico, and Jason and the brownie side had Leo, Piper, Frank, and Hazel.

Annabeth, being Annabeth, was in charge of the chocolate chip section.

"Okay, so I need butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, hot water, salt, flour, chocolate chips, and walnuts," Annabeth said as the things were laid out in front of her, "I also need measuring cups, spoons, spatulas, sifting things, a mixer, a knife, a baking sheet, a baking pan, and your guys' brains"

Over at the snickerdoodle area, Jason started reading his own list aloud. But Calypso had already brought everything over, "Sorry, I memorized it, I didn't really have anything to do in Ogygia, so I decided to make cookies."

"It's fine Calypso," Nico said, "Just tell us what to do."

"Well, I need for you guys to measure some stuff out for me."

While at the brownie table Piper was already starting to pour in her ingredients.

"Someone get another bowl and blend in the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt," Piper said, while Frank and Hazel were ready on the task.

"What can I do beauty Queen?" Leo asked

"Start laying out the baking sheet and pan"

Leo, surprisingly, listened.

10 minutes went by peacefully until there was a bit of commotion over at Annabeth's side.

"PERCY! DO NOT EAT THE FOOD DYE!"

"Sorry Annabeth," Percy said quietly and proceeded to drop the blue food dye only in the dough and not his tongue.

Another 30 minutes went by and nothing exciting happened, and all of the cookies were placed into the oven to bake.

"While the cookies are baking, can we do Secret Santa?" Percy asked, trying to make up for his mistake earlier.

"That's a great idea, Percy!" Annabeth said brightly, giving him a peck on the cheek, "Piper, do you have the basket?"

"Of course I do!" Piper said smiling and showed them the red and green Christmas basket. "Everyone knows the rules, no more than three medium-sized boxes of presents from the secret Santa, and nothing over a hundred thousand dollars," Piper explained eyeing Nico on the last part, three years ago, he bought Jason a plane, an entire freaking plane. Jason kept the plane at Reyna's praetor house (which rarely is ever used) in New Rome

"Who wants to go first?" Piper asked when no one answered she rolled her eyes and said, " Hazel's youngest, she gets to go first."

Piper passed the basket to Hazel, who put her hand in and shuffled through the names, she picked out one and passed the basket to Frank, this kept on going until the basket finally came back to Piper.

"So, how about once the cookies are done, we go to the nursing home, then shopping, just to browser, and no buying unless it MUST be done, okay?" Piper said, already looking to go check on the cookies.

Yes, 's could be heard while everyone went to go do their own thing for a bit, but still close to the cookies.

The order of the Secret Santa goes as follows

Nico - Percy

Percy - Annabeth

Annabeth - Hazel

Hazel - Leo

Leo - Piper

Piper - Nico

Calypso - Jason

Jason - Will

Will - Frank

Frank - Calypso

After the cookies were out of the oven, and everyone was in their Ney York Winter gear, everyone got the cookies needed to go to the nursing home, and pile into their car (it could hold 10 people)

Jason decided he was a 25-year-old man who could drive, so he started getting into the driver's seat, but was beat to it by Piper, who jingled the car keys in front of his face and got in the driver's seat. Jason just grumbled and got into the passenger seat.

(If anyone is curious, this is the seating chart)

Piper               Jason

Annabeth      Percy

Will     Nico    Calypso

Frank Hazel Leo

Once everyone got in the car, Piper revved up the engine and they were off to the nursing home.

... /// ,,, /// *** /// ''' ///

When the 10 demigods got into the nursing home, they were greeted by a nice lady (bear with me here, I've only been to one nursing home, and it was because I was playing in a concert in their church).

"So what brings you here today?" The nice lady asked, "My name's Beatriz by the way."

"We came here to deliver some cookies, 54 of them to be exact," Annabeth said, holding the basket of cookies.

"Oh, lovely! Not nearly as much people bring copies anymore, are they homemade?"

"Yes ma'am," Piper piped up, "we made them about 10 minutes ago, they should still be warm."

"Oh, that's so nice of you!" Beatriz said clapping her hands lightly, "Are they for a specific person?"

"No ma'am, is there a place where we could let all of them have the cookies?" Percy asked

"Oh yes, I can take them to the dessert room. Is there a message you would like to pass on?" Beatriz asked, getting out a black, red, and green sharpie, finding some paper to go along with it.

"Yes please!" Hazel said, making her way to the front of the crowd. Hazel thanked Beatriz and started writing on the paper.

"Made with love, and lot's of sugar, we 10 merry folks wish you a happy first day of the Holiday season. Well Wishes, Annabeth, Percy, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Calypso, Piper, Jason, Will and Nico"

Once everyone signed their name, they thanked Beaztriz once more, and head out the door.

"Well, that was fun!" Will exclaimed, then added, "Can we go shopping now?"

Piper laughed her sweet laugh and asked everyone, "Do you guys want to go to a big mall or just the shops around the neighbourhood. It's 2:30, so we have about 4 and a half hours until all the shops close down."

Everyone said just to shop around the neighbourhood. Piper parallel parked the car and everyone hopped out.

"Alright, I want everyone to go in at least groups of two, we meet back here at 7 got it?" Annabeth said, then hooked her arm through Piper and Calypso's, "I have my buddies, what about you guys?"

Percy looked to Jason and fist-bumped, they were partners, Hazel Frank and Leo huddled together showing they were all a group and Will and Nico were a group.

Annabeth Piper and Calypso, once seeing everyone were settled, headed over to one shop that sold what seemed like small trinkets and wooden jewellery. After they were away from the other groups, Annabeth asked the other girls, "Who did you guys get? I got Hazel."

"I got Jason," Calypso said

"I got Neeks," Piper added

"Alright," Annabeth said while rummaging through her purse, with a smile, she found what she wanted. 3 notepads and 3 pens, "Here, just write down gift ideas you have, and the shop they're from, it'll help you remember in the long run."

"Thanks!" both girls exclaimed then Calypso asked Piper, "You know since you are Jason's love. What are some good ideas for gifts?"

Piper thought for a second then said, "He likes personal things, like things with his name on it, or a lightning bolt, he also really likes wooden things."

"Thanks!" Calypso said happily and looked to the section of the store where the little wooden trinkets are.

"I think I know what I'm getting Hazel," Annabeth said happily, browsing the store then told Piper, "I think we should go to another store for Nico and Hazel. What do you think?"

"Yeah, we should, hey calypso?" Piper called over to where Calypso was browsing wooden toys.

"Sure! I already know what I am getting Jason anyways." Calypso said, pocketing the pen and paper while following Annabeth and Piper out of the store.

!!!///###///$$$////%%%///^^^///

"Broooooooooo"

"Yeah, bro?"

"Why did Pips and Annie leave us, bro?"

"Dunno bro"

"We dot even know how to shop bro,"

"I know bro, Pipes does the shopping for both of us."

"Bro, same with me and Annabeth."

After looking at each other strangely, Jason and Percy laughed hysterically, earning a few dirty looks from the people around them.

"Alright, so I got Will, who did you get?"

"Wise Girl."

"Oh my gods, you hit jackpot there Perce," Jason said shaking his head, "You know what you're getting her?"

"Yeah," Percy said dreamily, "What about you Jase, got any idea what to do with the sunshine boy?"

"Yup, I'm gonna pull a few strings with the hospital he's interning with, I think I might be able to make his dream job come true faster than he thinks," Jason said with a grin.

"Nicccccccce bro, I'm hungry though, I saw a bakery down there, wanna go grab a bite? It's only a quarter 'till three, we should have enough time." Percy said

"Sure, race you!" Jason said, bolting to the bakery with Percy right on his heels.

&&&///***///---///___///

Soon enough, seven o'clock came and everyone met at the car. No one had bought anything except for Jason and Percy, who each had a cinnamon bun in their hands.

"Alright, I was thinking we should get dinner, I'm pretty hungry, what about you guys?" Piper asked looking around, everyone nodded.

"To be civil, we should take a vote, all those who would like to home cook something, raise your hands," Annabeth asked.

Calypso, Jason, Piper, Frank, Will, and Annabeth raised their hands.

"Okay, so it looks like we're going home to eat," Annabeth said happily getting into the car.

:::///;;;///'''///|||///

Once everyone arrived home, Calypso and Leo immediately went to the kitchen, they were the best cooks out of the 10, so no one argued.

Percy and Annabeth went to their bedroom, Jason and Piper went to their Jacuzzi, Hazel and Frank went to their library, and Will and Nico went to their room as well.

With Percy and Annabeth, they had made a stop to their bedroom to grab a few things.

"It feels nice to be in our room," Annabeth said happily looking at their bedroom.

(These are my reference pictures, but remember, their bedroom is HUGE it take up about a third of their floor, and these floors are GIGANTINOURMOUS)

"Well we won't be in here for long, we're gonna go to the pool!" Percy cried happily getting his swimming gear and a towel.

"Ours or the gym?" Annabeth inquired.

"Ours, c'mon Wisegirl! Get changed get changed!"

Annabeth laughed and quickly changed into her swimming gear, and after she braided her hair they went to their pool.

Annabeth settled onto one of the floating beds with a book, while Percy went and swam in the actual pool. After a few laps, he laid down next to Annabeth on the bed.

"Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth squealed, closing her book, "You're going to get my book wet!"

Percy chuckled and snapped his fingers, which immediately made him dry, "Better Wisegirl?"

"Much," Annabeth muttered and leaned over to kiss Percy.

~~~///'''///<<<///>>>////

While Percy and Annabeth were in their pool, Piper and Jason went to their room.

(reference photo)

"Hey Pipes, wanna go to the Jacuzzi and look at the city?" Jason asked murmured into Piper's ear, laying down on the bed beside her.

"Yeah sure in a min, you go on ahead," Piper muttered back, giving Jason a quick kiss before he went.

Changing into something more suitable for a jacuzzi, Jason slipped into the warm water.

A few minutes later, Jason saw Piper sink in next to him.

"Hey Jase," Piper said, leaning her head on his shoulder

"Hey Pipes," Jason whispered into her warm brown hair.

"What do you think Leo and Cal are cooking?"

"Well, lately they've been obsessed with Italian food, so Pasta I would think,"

"Makes sense. Jason?"

"Mhmm?" said man inquired

"Do you love m-"

Piper was cut off by Jason's lips on hers.

-------------------------------------------------------

Hazel and Frank were in their cosy little library, bot sitting in one of the love chairs.

(This is about how I imagined it in my head)

"Frankie?"

"Yes Hazy?" Frank said, looking up from his book.

"Have you ever read the Alchemyst series?"

"No, I don't think so. Would you mind showing me?"

"Course!" Hazel walked over to where the library catalogue was (like those computers, but in a slick iPad thingy) and typed it in. She then walked over to where the book was and went on her tippy tiptoes, but still struggled to get the book. Frank chuckled and asked Hazel, "Need some help Hazy?"

Hazel pouted in defeat and let a laughing Frank pick her up and get the book.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Once Will and Nico got to their floor Nico immediately flopped onto his bed, flipped the bird to Will and started snoring.

(a mixture of these two, couldn't find which one I liked better)

Will laughed lightly as he watched his Deathball of a boyfriend fall asleep. He lightly got on the bed and shook Nico awake, "As much as I love you're getting rest Deathboy, it's unhealthy to sleep too much, we slept at midnight and woke up at 10 in the morning, you've had enough sleep Deathbreath. Wake up!"

Nico grumbled and faced Will, "Make. Me."

Will sighed and said dramatically, "You've left me no choice, Nico. I must now do the unthinkable!"

Will then proceeded to tickle Nico until Nico finally let in.

"Will! Stop! I yield!" Nico said in between laughs as WIll stopped tickling him with a bright smile on his face.

"Wanna go to your art studio?" Will asked, pointing his head in the direction of said studio.

"Sure," was all Nico said before he went to his studio.

(Instead of white walls, Nico has dark grey walls, and a darker aesthetic for the studio, just thought I'd let you know)

Once Nico was settled comfortably in his studio, Will went to his half of the room to sort out his medical supplies. Since Will was training to be a doctor, he was the 10's health clinic, and he liked to keep his "office" in good order. After he finished sorting everything out, he went over to Nico's side to see what he was working on. He was in luck, Nico had just finished his painting.

"Woah," was all Will could manage, even though he knew what Nico as capable of, it didn't stop him from having his breath taken away every time Nico finished a piece of art.

"Do you like it?" Nico said, gesturing towards the painting.

(I know it's gory, but this is supposed to represent Tartarus, so bear with me and I am sorry if you get Night terrors)

"Do I like it? I love it it's amazing Nico!" Will said giggling spinning Nico around.

"Kay kay Solace you can put me down now," Nico said with the faintest hint of a smile.

"Okay, should we go down now? It's been a good 45 minutes." Will asked

"Sure"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When Will and Nico got into the elevator, they were surprised to find no one was in there, until they got to the bottom floor and saw everyone in the common room. No later did they hear Leo's elfish voice screech out, "Dinner is served!"

Everyone piled into the dining room and talked about plans for Christmas.

"So the schedule I pretty much want for the rest of the 25 days is this," Annabeth said, handing the list around to everyone.

"Of course, we don't have to do all of it. Most of us have jobs, but I'm pretty sure that we can get the month off since we work overtime almost every other day of the year," Annabeth said, keeping in mind that she works as the boss of an Architecture Company, Will is an intern at a hospital, Nico works at an artist's studio, Jason works as a weatherman, and Percy is a Marine Biologist. They didn't need to work, they had all the money in the world from Hades, but they still liked to keep themselves occupied.

The only time the 10 were ever really quiet, was dinnertime, they would happily sit munching their food. But once dinner was over, it was already 10 pm.

"I think Nico and I are gonna head to bed, night y'all," Will said, putting his dish in the sink.

Everyone muttered words of agreement as they headed to their room to sleep.

A/N IMPORTANT If there are any spelling or grammar mistakes please let me know! I really don't wanna another reading around 5,408 words again. Tell me if you guys think I should do a recommendation fro books chapter, since we're all bored cause of quarantine, and I know a few good books and fanfics and don't worry, there will be a part two! Also, if this isn't too short or too long for your liking, or maybe you'd like a few things to be altered, or even if you have something you Walt want to see/a suggestion please tell me!
