Leico- I've Known You My Whole Life

It was New Years Eve which means everyone was busy getting ready for the New Years party that they threw every year. Leo was busy helping his siblings building things, and things like that. Nico on the other hand had been entertaining Hazel, who had decided to stay until the day after New Years.
The two siblings where chatting about the past years and such when Leo bounded over to them with his sister Nyssa. “Hey Nicy, do you think you can help us?”
The son of Hades raised an eyebrow and stared at the two children of Hephaestus for a moment before sighing lightly and stood up. “Fine, Hazel I'll be back.” He was led away by the two and put to work almost instantly The Hephaestus kids were building things and Nico was running around grabbing things for the kids so they wouldn't have to stop and go rummage through things and get distracted.
Once an hour passed by Nyssa clapped her hands. “Alright! Break time, lunch is on!” As soon as she said that the lunch bell sounded and all the kids filled out of their cabins and the Hephaestus kids wiped there hands off before heading to the pavilion.
Nico yawned slightly and without thinking he rubbed his face, which smeared black stuff on his face. He wasn't sure if it was oil or soot. Leo walked by Nico and laughed, “Dammit you're adorable sometimes.”
The son of Hades blinked in confusion for a moment before the Latino moved and pulled a rag out of his back pocket and wiped the black marks off the smaller males face, Nico rested a hand on the others arm. He felt like a little kid when Leo did things like this but sometimes he didn't mind.
They stood there for a little longer just staring at each other before one of the Aphrodite girls walked by and Leo spun around slightly. “Hey li'l mama, have you met anyone as hot as me?” Nico rolled his eyes in slightly in annoyance. The girl had glanced back at Leo and giggled a bit.
Nico shifted and then walked away when Leo took his eyes and attention off him.
After the girl turned around, Leo glanced behind him and noticed Nico left. Frowning lightly he shifted in place, he was thinking about going to lunch but his feet took him towards the Hades cabin. He knew tomorrow was New Years and that Nico would probably spend the whole day in solitude, the Latino shook his head and left the other a note inside the door before heading down to the pavilion for lunch.
Lunch passed by quickly, the cabins conversed with themselves except when a few people moved around to talk to their boyfriends or girlfriends or even there best friends. When lunch ended Leo headed back to his cabin with his siblings so they could finish the last couple things for the New Years party that night.
By the time the clock struck eight the Hephaestus kids had finished building all the things and they began setting things up.
Nico had found Hazel again in the flurry of people, she looked at him seriously for a moment and held up a note. “Who's this from? It doesn't have a name.”
The son of Hades let out a small sigh and plucked the paper from her hand and read it over for a moment, before whispering Leo's name. He knew the son of Hephaestus' hand writing all too well. Hazel blinked and looked at her 'brother' for a moment or two more before taking the paper back.
“Nico? Who's is from?” She quirked an eyebrow in curiosity.
Nico pursed his lips in thought, he could tell her that he didn't know and lie..Or he could tell her the truth and say it was from Leo. He finally decided. “It's from Leo.”
The chestnut skinned girl gasped, and grinned. “He wants to go on a date with you tonight? Ah..” She inched closer to Nico. “If he tries anything funny, tell me and I'll have his head.”
Nico covered his mouth and snickered lightly, Leo not trying anything funny? That's hilarious. But he nodded and agreed to tell Hazel if the fire wielder tried anything 'funny.'
A few more hours passed by seemingly, and it was an hour till New Years. Nico wandered into the Hades cabin to Leo bouncing on the bed, like he was sugar high. The Italian male quirked an eyebrow in confusion, he was use to the Latino being hyper and such but why was he in his cabin? Nico moved closer to the bed and cleared his throat to get the others attention.
The son of Hephaestus looked up quickly and grinned wildly. “Nicy! Come on we have to go!” He stood up quickly and grabbed the son of Hades hand, pulling him out of the cabin and towards the entrance of to the camp.
Nico wasn't quiet sure what was happening at the moment, then he recalled the note Hazel was talking about earlier. The Italian shifted and grabbed Leo's arm to halt him. “Valdez! Where are we even going!?”
The son of Hephaestus whined lightly and looked at Nico for a moment. “Statue of Liberty! Come on, it'll be amazing!”
Nico frowned for a moment, he wasn't really found of high up places but he sucked in a small breath and nodded. “Fine, lets go, but if I fall, I will haunt your ass.”
Leo snickered lightly, and then began leading Nico towards the Statue of Liberty. His eyes darted everywhere like he was afraid something might pop out of no where and take Nico away.
It didn't take the two to get to the green lady, but by the time they got to the top it was already eleven forty-five. Leo moved and ran over to a widow and looked over the city, the lights twinkled against the dark sky. The Latino's lips parted, and he tilted his head back. “Nico, let me show you beautiful.”
The Italian male moved over to the other and looked at the city for a moment. They stood there mesmerized. They were startled when fireworks started going off in the distance. It was twelve, New Years day.
Leo paused and grinned lightly before moving to cup the others face in his hands. “You know I really like the way your lips feel on mine, its wonderful.”
Nico's eyes widened a bit in shock, and his hands went and pressed against Leo's chest as they clashed in a light lingering kiss. The kiss was soft, electrifying, and delicious.
Once they pulled away from each other, Nico whispered softly. “Happy New Years, Leo.”
“You too, mi amor.” Nico scrunched up his nose as if he was confused but he then smiled and they reconnected in another small lingering kiss.
