"No." The answer was clear. There was no way Will was going to convince Nico to let him have a puppy. Absolutely no way in Hades.

"But, Nico sunshine! Imagine a cute adorable little baby puppy, running around, barking, playing fetch! It'd be so cute!" Will had been trying for month to get a sweet little Labrador puppy, named Sonya. However, Nico has certain...reservations...about having a small, yappy beast who will grow up to be a gigantic yappy beast. Nico was, to put it delicately, completely against the idea. Will walked away, sullen and defeated, but not for long.

About a month later, Will tried again for Nico to let him have a dog.

"Nico! Please? This is the only thing I ask for! I just want a cute little Labrador! Please?" Will was literally on his knees begging.

"Really? Why the fuck would you want a dog? Why?" Nico was irritated just a lot at Wills relentless begging.

"Why don't you like dogs? Whats wrong with them?"

"What isn't wrong with them? They're overtly peppy, they shed, they bark a lot, and the dog you want, happens to be a monstrous beast."

"How can you love Mrs. O'Leary, but a normal, NOT demon dog from hell Labrador?" Will was joining Nico in his exasperation now, a fight about to emerge between the two.

"Mrs. O'Leary is a HELL, hound. I don't even see her that often! Shes in hell! She may be big, but shes well behaved, she doesn't shed, and she keeps her distance from my face, like a good dog." Nico retorted, stepping closer towards Will.

"Fine, what if we didn't get Sonya? What if we got a smaller dog? One that doesn't shed, and is quiet. We can get it from the shelter too! So were really doing good. Please sunshine? Pretty please with Vanilla wafers on top?" Will was about six inches from Nicos face, so Nico could see his big, pleading blue puppy dog eyes. (Pun Intended)

Nico held fast for a few seconds, but his resolve soon crumbled as he looked at Wills eyes. Well, Will was willing to compromise after all and get a small dog instead of the beast he had planned on getting. Nico could compromise too he guessed. "Fine." Nico sighed with defeat.

"Really?" Wills eyes lit up, and he wrapped Nico into a big hug. "Thank you! Yay! Were getting a puppy!" Will pressed his lips against Nicos, he was too excited about the puppy to keep it a simple kiss. So after they agreed that they would go tomorrow to the pet shelter, Nico and will engaged into a mini make out session, until Will put on 101 Dalmatians, much to Nicos protest.

A week later, after Nico and Will had gotten a puppy from the shelter, a small black furry mutt, who they were assured was quiet and wouldn't shed too much. Nico picked him out much to Wills surprise, and currently, his distress. The dog didn't play. He silently watched over the household, and stalked the perimeter, a 12 pound guardian of ferocity. He didnt play, he didnt snuggle up to anyone but Nico, and that was rarely ever. The puppy, now named Skotadi, meaning darkness, was as quiet, and calm as a dog could get.

"Sko! Sko!" Will called to the puppy. "Come on! Fetch the damned stick would you?" He yelled as the small animal sat there, glaring at him. Will could feel the puppys' disdain towards the boy.

"Will, stop bother the poor guy. Come here Sko, sit with me." The dog came running when Nico called. Truly, the dog was a sweet, kind dog, who loved his owners. However, he just didnt like to play.

"This is ridiculous, I beg for a playful puppy for months, and then we get a dog that is just...not!" Will pouted. Skotadi must have sensed how upset Will was, and reluctantly looked at Nico, as if asking if he really had to cheer the blonde boy up. Nico laughed and walked over to Will.

"Im sorry Will, maybe our next puppy will be more playful" Nico kissed Wills cheek, a sly look in his face.

"We can get another one!" Will practically jumps on Nico. Nico starts laughing, but pushes Will off of him.

"Of course, a playful dog would make you happy. Therefore, I want you to be happy, so we can get another puppy. Soon. As soon as you train this one. He was your idea after all." Nico picked up said puppy, and made a face at him.

"I love you" Will said, still buzzing with joy.

"I love you too." Nico replied with a grin on his face.

Yay. It sucked. Sorry. Much like Lucien Carr, I suck at endings. I am only good at beginnings. Anyway, I'm glad if you like it. I hope yall anyway. So, i was thinking about one more happy oneshot before the fanfic of doom. But im not sure. Anyway. Adios!
