Okay, before I get started, I just want to thank everybody for giving me advice and support on my last story. I would have responded, but I didn't know how, so...
But thank you so so so much you guys! They really made me feel better :)

I wrote a fairytale story for Dan and Phil and I really like writing it and I thought it came out good so I thought I could do a Cinderella story for Nico and Will... with a 'Rowan' twist on it :D btw the picture attached is nothing like the story. But I liked it and thought you fabulous t-rexs would too. 

Nico's POV

Watching all these people dance... it's all girl and boy, boy and girl. It makes me feel... left out and wrong. I glance over at the prince and sigh. Golden curly hair, blue eyes, tan skin. Prince William is gorgeous. I know that it's considered a sin to be in love with someone of the same gender, but I can't help it. It's like boys falling in love with girls. It feels natural.

Prince William is sitting on his throne wearing an orange dress shirt, blue dress pants, black shoes, and his crown is on crooked. Crooked enough to make me agitated. But I can't very well walk up to prince William, fix his crown and walk away, can I? Prince William is smiling, just like he always does. For as long as I've worked here, he's always smiling. And he's so kind to us. And by 'us' I mean everybody who works at the castle. Oh yeah, I work at the castle. I'm a gardener. Prince William will sometimes talk to me. It always makes me feel special. 

Sorry, I got distracted. 

My best friend, Leo, walks up to me. He smirks and elbows me.

"You checking out the prince?" He asks. I blush and  push him.

"Shut up!" I put my hand over his mouth. He laughs. Leo is the blacksmiths of the castle. He's really good at his job. He's also the only one who knows about me being in love with the prince. I lower my hand. 

"Don't look now, but the prince is looking at you," he says. I whip my head around. The prince was not looking at me. I turn my face to Leo and narrow my eyes. He's trying so hard not to laugh, I can tell.

"You're the worst friend ever," I tell him. 

"That hurt my feelings!" He says as he puts his hand on his heart. I roll my eyes. 

"Cinderella!" Somebody yells. Everybody turns their heads to where the voice came from. We're all confused because we thought everybody had arrived at the ball. Apparently, we were wrong. There, coming down the stairs, was a girl around the age of 16 wearing a pink dress much fancier than everybody else's. Her blonde hair is in a side braid and her skin is pale. If I could fall in love with someone of the opposite gender, then I would say she was the one. Every man at the ball was staring at her with their mouth open. (And some of the women.) I turn my head to the prince who just doesn't look interested. 

I guess I should explain.
See, king Apollo, he's terribly ill. Everyone at the castle was trying to save him. It got to the point where we knew nothing would be able to help him. It's terminal. This ball is so the prince can find a bride to help rule the kingdom.  

Princess (what was her name? Cally? Cate? Cinder? Something like that. Let's go with Cinder.) Cinder walks up to the prince and curtsies. She must be a princess. I don't see how she couldn't be. Prince William rolls his eyes and stands up.

"Will you have this next dance with me?" He asks her. He sounds bored. Maybe that's just my imagination. Cinder looks happy. Music starts playing and prince William takes her hand and they start to dance. Do I feel jealous? Of course, I feel jealous. She's dancing with the man of my dreams. I want to yell "GET YO HANDS OFF MA MAN, LADY," but I restrain myself with great difficulty. Leo pats my shoulder. The prince looks over at us and my heart skips a few beats. He smiles. I can feel my face turning red. I look at my feet and slightly smile. When I look back at the prince he's looking at the princess with a poker face. Maybe I just imagined it. 

Prince William and Cinder dance almost all night. When the clock strikes twelve, Cinder looks panicked. 

"I'm sorry prince William! I must go!" Cinder exclaims. Loud. The music stops abruptly. She's just trying to get attention, isn't she? Now that I've seen her all night dancing with prince William, she isn't that great. Her laugh is so annoying. It's like a goose possessed her body and then breathed in some helium. And don't even get me started on- you know what? I'll sass her later. As she runs, one of her shoes falls off. How small are here feet? Those shoes look tiny. 

Prince William picks up the shoe. Everybody is staring at prince William (myself included but only because he's so gorgeous not because he lost that goose) like they're expecting him to do something. He looks around nervously. 

"Everything is okay! Continue with the ball!" The music starts up again. Prince William walks to all of his servants and all of his servents walk to the backroom. He walks up to Leo and me.
"Backroom. Now. Please?" Leo nods and as do I. Leo walks ahead of me. The prince walks next to me. Me!
"Nico." I gulp.

"Your highness." We walk to the backroom where everybody was chatting. 

"Alright, listen up you guys cuz I got a thing that needs to be said!" The prince shouts. Everyone shuts up. 

"Alright! First off, how was your night?" Everybody smiles and nods. Except me.

"Okay, good. Good. Now for the thing that needs saying. That princess person thing... well she ran off. She made a huge show of it too." I try not to snort.
"Here's the deal. I don't wanna marry her. I already love someone else, but my father wouldn't approve, so I have to marry her. HOWEVER. I have a plan. See the shoe she left behind?" He holds up a glass slipper. We all nod. 

"Good. I'm going to try to avoid finding the princess until my father dies so I can marry who I wish. As awful as that may sound, I kid you not. So... every maiden in this kingdom is going to try this shoe on." I raise my hand. 
"Yes, Nico?"

"If you don't mind me asking, your highness... why are you telling all of us? I mean, I would understand if you told someone as important as the... I don't know. Knight? I mean, we're just an assortment of people working here."

"Good point. You see, my dad's knights are really loyal to him,and if they found out... that would be a no-no. So I have gathered you here to see how many of you are willing to help because if the king finds out, whoever helped me might lose their job. Or worse." Everyone shuffles nervously. Not me, though. 
"Anyone?" He asks. Almost like he's begging. 

"I'll help," I tell him. He flashes a brilliant smile. 

"Yay! We got one! Anybody else?" Nobody steps up. 
"Fine. Nobody says anything or else." Everybody nods. Prince William turns to me. 
"Nico, follow." He walks out of the room with him, but before I do, Leo gives me a thumbs up. Prince William stands in front of his throne.
"Everyone! The ball is over for the night! Go home!" Everybody leaves, chatting away leaving prince William and I alone. 

"I should... I should probably be going to bed." I tell him. He shakes his head. 

"Not yet, Nico. If you don't mind. I need your help with something." Spending time with prince William, my one true love who I have dreamed of holding hands with since I started working here, or sleep? This is a no brainer. 

"I can help. What is it?" Prince William twiddles his fingers. 

"Look... I've seen you drawing on your downtime." He says. What. No, no, no. 

"I haven't seen what you've drawn," thank gods "but you seem like you totally know what you're doing."
"I need help making some posters. All of them hand made, so it'll take more time. Can you do that with me?" 'With'. Not 'for', 'with'. 

"Sure. I can do that." Prince William smiles. 

"Awesome! Let's go!" He grabs me hand and drags me until I see huge stairs. At this point, I walk side by side with him, but he doesn't let go of my hand and I'm just about to die on the inside. He's holding my hand! Wait, why isn't he letting go? Why is he even holding my hand? Does he not realise he's doing it? I'm so confused. We reach a door. It's nothing fancy. Just... a door. 

"Where are we?" I ask him. He shrugs. 

"My room." 

Already? I think to myself, sarcastically. We haven't even had our first date!

Prince William starts laughing and I have no idea why. Then I realise: I might have actually said that out loud. My face turns tomato red. 
"Umm- I- uh- um." Great. Now I can't speak. 

"It's okay, that was pretty funny." Prince William assures me. Prince William opens his door and his room is... just as ordinary as mine. There's a queen sized bed in the corner, the walls are simply white, the floor is brown. He has pictures all over his walls. Not fancy ones, more like... like doodles. It's all so... normal. 

"Wow." Is all I can say. 

"Is it boring?"

"No. It's almost exactly like mine. It just surprised me."

"So you like it?"

"Yeah." He smiles and pulls me into his room. He closes the door. He lets go of my hand (much to my disappointment and relief). I walk over to a wall to look at the pictures. One of them is a girl walking hand in hand with another girl. It's very cute. Another is two boys, one with wavy hair and the other with messy hair, kissing. There are a few of these. I really like them. 
"Prince William-"

"You can just call me 'Will'. Please." I smile. 

"Will, there are a lot of pictures of these two boys. How come?" Will blushes. 

"Well... I'll tell you later." I nod. 

"I really like these pictures, though. Did you draw them?" Will nods. 

"Yeah... and thanks. Anyway, we have work to do." Will walks over to a drawer and pulls out paper. A lot of it. Kinda jealous actually. I really like drawing and only get a limited amount of paper per month. He drops the paper on the floor and grabs two quill pens and jars of ink. I sit down on the floor in front of the paper. Will sits next to me and hands me a jar of ink and a quill pen. 
"Take your time. Procrastinate. I don't want these flyers out anytime soon." I nod.

"So... I can just 'get used to the pen' and draw for a bit?" I ask. Will smiles. 

"Exactly. I must practice my drawing before we get to work." I smile. 

We spend the next few hours drawing and getting to know each other. When I drew my first picture (two birds), Will looked over my shoulder and kept complimenting me. Currently, I am working on a picture of the two of us drawing and sitting on the floor. I want to remember this in as much detail as possible. I get an idea. 

"Will! We should do portraits of each other!" I tell him. He nods. We change our position so we're facing each other, and start drawing. I ask him to lift his head up a few times, and he does the same for me. We finish at the same time. I pass him my picture and he does the same to me. When I look at it, I'm stunned. It looks just like me. It's amazing the detail in this. 

"I love it." We both say at the same time. We make eye contact and we both blush. I look away, sheepishly. 

"You can keep it if you want." Will tells me. 

"I can?" 

"Mmm-hmm!"

"Wow... thanks! You can keep mine too. If you want. You don't have to."

"Thanks!" 

We sit there for a while. I suddenly feel very tired. I yawn and rub my eyes. 

"Alright, come on. You can stay here for the night." Will tells me. 

"No... it's fine. I'm fine. I'm just tired." I say. 

"How far away if your room?" I shrug. 

"Dunno. I've never been to this part of the palace." I yawn again. 

"Then you're staying with me."

"Where will I sleep?"

"I only have one bed, so you could stay there. With me." 

In my sleepy delirium, I say yes. Will picks me up, bridal style and places me on his bed. I get under the covers and Will sits next to me. I close my eyes and fall asleep. ( AN: I just had a very cute image of Nico with small, black, cat ears and a cute little kitten nose, snuggling with Will. IDK why, but I did and I can't stop thinking about it :D)

*TIME SKIP*

I wake up and feel someone's arms around me. As I have just woken up, I don't think much about it. I slowly open one eye to see Will next to me. His arms around me, and my head on his chest. I gasp. How did this happen? I can't remember anything. All I remember was my sudden tired feeling and Will picking me up. Also the whole drawing thing. If Leo were here, he would not let this go. At all. Thank gods he's not here. 
I don't want to move. I like being in his arms. It's all I ever wanted. Will holds me tighter and I start to blush. What if he's disgusted by the fact that we're cuddling. Will he hate me for knowing that we're cuddling and I didn't wake him? What am I supposed to think? Will opens his eyes and sees me. He smiles.
"G'morning, Neeks." He says, sleepily. My heart skips a few beats. He doesn't look phased. Like, at all. 

"Morning." I reply. We just lay there. He doesn't move his arms, and I don't move my head. We hear a knock on the door. 

"Prince William?" A voice calls out. Dam it, of all the times...

Will sighs.
"Listen, hide under the blankets." He tells me. I nod. He stands up. I hide under the blankets, just as he told me, and I heard him open the door.

"Prince William. You presence is requested."  

"Presence? To whom?" He questions.

"Your father, your highness."

"Oh. Just... okay. Let me get changed and ready for the day."

The door closes. I hear footsteps. Will sits on the bed. 

"You can come out now."

I poke my head out of the blankets. Will smiles and ruffles my hair. 

"Hey!" I say while laughing. I feel happy. Really happy. 

"I have to go see my ol' pop so I'll be back soon. You can draw if you want." He tells me. I nod. 

After Will leaves, I sit on the ground and begin drawing. I draw him and I sleeping and cuddling with me. Did last night even happen? Was it just in my imagination?

"Oh, it wasn't in your imagination." I turn around to see a seventeen-year-old boy with black hair, tan skin, and green eyes standing there. He's... he's wearing a dress. A poofy white dress with a wand. 

"Uhh..." is all I can think right now. 

"Oh. Right. Nico, I am your fairy godmother." He says with a small smile. 

"Fairy... god... mother?" I ask. He looks down. 

"Ha! I forgot I was wearing this! I lost a bet with my girlfriend." He taps his torso with his wand. Suddenly,  his dress turns into a regular outfit. White shirt, and blue pants. No shoes. 
"That's better."

"You called yourself my fairy godmother."

"I did. Now, before we begin, can I just say I love your drawings! Like, I really love them. A lot."

"What did you do?"

"...I cast a sleeping spell on you last night so you could fall asleep with Will. Maybe." My eyes widen. 

"WHAT?"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry! My brofriend Jason and I love you two as a couple! It makes our little hearts fly."

"You're sure you have a girlfriend?"

"Stfu I'm not done yet. Anyway, we're on your side forever and always. We'll do whatever it takes for you and Will to marry."

"Whoa. What?"

"Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that any weird things happening, will be caused by my brofriend and I. See you later." And just like that, he vanishes. What the hell just happened. 

I shake my head and go back to my drawing. The door opens and I fall backwards, my arms flailing. I hear someone giggling. I look at the door to see Will covering his mouth with his hands. He closes the door. And starts laughing. 

"Okay! Shut up! It wasn't that funny!" I mumble. He stops laughing and sits next to me. He frowns. 

"What's wrong? Did I say something? Did I do something? What's wrong?" 

Will hugs me. I instantly hug back. Will starts crying on my shoulder. How did he go from happy to sad in five seconds? I bet it was my fairy godmother and his boy-brofriend Jason. 

"My father just died." Will mumbles. That could do it. 

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I rub his back and he hugs me tighter. Suddenly, I feel very confident. Dam it fairy godmother, not now. I can't help it, though. I pull away slowly and kiss him. He seems surprised, hell, I'm surprised, but to my delightful surprise, he kisses back. Today is just full of surprises. He puts his hand on my cheek  and I rest my hands on his chest. I swear I can hear squealing. We slowly pull apart and my face is red as a tomato. Will smiles. 

"You definitely know how to make me feel better." Will says. I put my face in my hands and Will puts his arms around my waist, pulling me in for a hug. He kisses my head. 
"Really, though. Thank you." 

I nod. That just happened. Okay. Wow. I- wow. 

"Yessssssssssssssssssss!!!! Bro! It happened!" I hear a voice call out. Will and I look up to see my fairy godmother floating there with what I assume is his 'brofriend', Jason. The one with blond hair, Jason I presume, squeals and cups his face with his hands. 

"I can't believe it! Percy, can you believe it!?" Jason yells. My fairy godmother- er, Percy- claps his hands and starts giggling. Jason does too. Will looks at me. 

"What's happening?" He asks. 

"Just go with it." I tell him. 
"...So does this mean that the person you said you loved-"

"Was you? Yes."

"And those pictures of the two guys-"

"Were both of us." 

I smile and kiss him again, ignoring the squeals from Percy and Jason.

*ANOTHER TIME SKIP YAYSIES*

It's been a year since Will and I got married. Of course, not everybody was supportive so we ended up running away to live in the middle of the forest, but we did get married. We have our own garden, we do lots of drawing, and we have simple meals. We're both very happy. Will said that ever since he could remember, he's wanted to live a simple life. And so that's what we're doing. Living a simple life. 

Now, you may be wondering: 

What happened to Cinderella?

Well, I can assure you that I have no idea. Neither does Will. We don't speak of the goose. 

Currently, I am sitting at the table eating a rabbit. It's very tasty, actually. When I finish eating, Will walks into the room and takes my hand, pulling me from my chair. Will smiles and puts one hand on my waist, and holds my hand with his other hand. I put my free hand on his shoulder and we start dancing around. We do this a lot, but it never fails to make me smile. Will kisses me. 

"I love you." He tells me. 

"I love you too."

Heyyy! Okay, so I think this came out pretty good. I need to write more fluff. This is, after all, a Solangelo fluff fanfiction book thingy. 

Again, thank you to everybody who commented on my last story, they really helped me a lot! And like I said, I would have responded to each one, but I don't know how so... thanks!

Stay awesome fabulous t-rexs!
