Two Odd Princes ~A Solaneglo AU~

The two carriages pulled up to the castle. The three children of Hades stared in awe at the magnificent building. They'd seen many before, but this one was by far the most beautiful.

It was made of a white stone and was painted with gold in certain areas. In the front of the castle was a large fountain, which they all went around. The stairs leading up the front doors were spotless, not a single piece of nature littering it.
The doors opened, allowing them all out of carriages. Nico got out and stretched then picked up his sword, holding it in his right hand. Will offered to help him attach it to his belt, seeing as though two hands were needed for the task, but Nico declined. Bianca and Hazel walked over to Nico and Will, waited to be lead in.
Will lead them up the steps, the doors being opened by two guards. As soon as they entered, they came face to face with King Apollo and Queen Naomi. Nico and Bianca bowed first. Hazel was confused at first, but followed her siblings act.
"Oh, no need for that," the queen said, walking over and pulling them into a hug. Nico tensed at the touch, but then his shoulder exploded in pain. The queen realized what she had done and pulled away. "I'm so sorry. Are you alright? You must me Nico, correct?"
Nico nodded, trying to hide his pain. "I'm fine, and, yes, I am Nico. Nice to meet you, your highness."
"Please, call me Naomi. All three of you."
All three of them nodded and introduced themselves. Afterwards, they were lead to the dining room to eat. During their introduction, Nico noticed that Lou Ellen and Cecil had both disappeared. He assumed they had other things they needed to do.
Will and Bianca sat beside each other, and Hazel and Nico were together. At the head of the table sat the king and at the other end was the queen. As soon as they were all seated, servants came out with the food.
"Sorry it's not much," the king apologized. "We weren't sure if you guys were going to stop for food, or if you'd be too tired to eat with us."
"Its fine, your highness," Bianca assured on behalf of her siblings.
"No need for that," he said. "You kids can just call me Apollo."
All three children nodded, digging into their food. Both parents asked them a few questions, but not many because they were all hungry. Nico appreciated that. Just this once he wasn't being pestered with questions about his whereabouts, meaning he didn't have to lie right now.
At the end of the meal, King Apollo dismissed them to their room. He informed them all that they were all going to have lunch in the garden the following day so they could all get to know each other. Nico mentally braced himself for any and all questions that could possible come up.
A servants showed Bianca and Hazel to their rooms and Will lead Nico to where he'd be staying. When Nico asked why his sisters were in a different direction, Will explained how his parents didn't like both boys and girls so close to each other.
"But wouldn't Bianca be an exception," Nico pointed out. "You two are getting married."
Will shrugged. "Knowing my parents, they'd only put me and Bianca near each other if we wanted it. Unlike your parents, no offense."
"None taken. Hey, how many dates have you and B been on?" Nico asked, slightly grinning.
Will threw his hands and head up, groaning. "I don't even know." Nico laughed at his reaction and let him continue. "I mean, we've had multiple dates by now and I've gotten to know her better, but we just aren't clicking like that. She's nice and all, just... not my type."
"Then what is your type?"
Will had never really thought about it. He never fantasized about his marriage or girls at all. He assumed that was okay because he was a boy, but didn't most guys at least think about what type of girl they'd want?
"Uh, nice, I guess."
"And?" Nico paused, trying to get more out. Will shook his head and shrugged. The black haired boy gave him a playful shove. "Come on. There's got to be more."
Will stopped in front of a door. At first Nico was confused, but then realized that this must have been his room.
"My room's right across the hall," Will told him, pointed to the door he was walking toward.
"Hey, you're avoiding my question," Nico shouted, following him into is room. Will tried to protest, but Nico cut him off. "No, you're answering my question."
Will sighed in exhaustion, rubbing a hand over his face. He sat down in one of arm chairs in front of the fireplace and thought out loud. "I guess I'd like whoever it is to let me be one of the first people they feel like they can tell anything to. Like any deep, dark secret is something they can tell me without any hesitation. A nice personality and not a stuck up, snotty person would be great. And someone who'd just let me hold them for hours and just lay there, enjoying each other."
Will smiled, imagining the way he'd hold his lover. The person had silky black hair that covered their eyes and pale skin. The clothes the black hair person was wearing were boy clothes, though they didn't look like anything Will owned. They were black and looked a little oversized for their small frame. He was in the middle of the day dream when he realized he'd been picturing Nico the whole time.
Will blushed a little, chuckling a little. "I know it's a little girly, but it's something I'd like to do with whoever I fell in love with. I never picture it to be with someone like Bianca."
Nico nodded, understanding. He then told Will what he looked for in a guy. "I get that. I like the heroic guys. The kind that would sacrifice everything for you in a heartbeat and not think twice about it. That's probably why Percy was my first crush," Nico gave Will a small smile. "Well, I'm going to head off to bed. Night."
"Night."

Nico left the room, shutting the door behind him. He crossed the hall into his room. It didn't dawn on him till he entered, but Will hadn't specified if he was thinking about a boy or girl. Was it possible that Will was gay as well? Or maybe bisexual?
He also thought of the description Will had given him. It was a long shot, but was it him? He had told Will a big secret, but that had taken a lot of courage. He wasn't too sure on the other two things though.
Sure, Nico didn't think he had a bad personality, but that was from his perspective. Maybe he did have a bad personality and just didn't know it.
And cuddling with Will for hours, just lying there with each other, rather if they were talking or not, sounded wonderful.
The more Nico thought about it, the more he could imagine it. Eventually, he looked at the clock at the wall. When he had entered the room, it had been eight forty. It was now nearly nine thirty and he was still leaning against the door. Had he really been day dreaming for that long?
He shook his head, making his way toward the bed. Normally, he be exploring the room, but it was late and he needed his rest for the king and queen tomorrow.
Nico slipped off his pants, leaving him in his boxers and shirt and snuggled under the blankets. He then fell asleep thinking about Will holding him, running his hands through his hair.
