Cosmic Love [A Nico Di Angelo Love Story]

Weird friends, for a weird guy

Pietra's PoV

I woke up in a room that was completely painted in black. Could I just point out how nice it felt to not have to wake up with morning light in your eyes.
After around a minute, I managed to gather the energy to read the time on the alarm clock, which was shaped like a skull, and discovered that it was 7:48 am.
Usually, I woke up at around this time, but right now, I felt like every bone in my body was telling me to stay in the warmth of the comfy bed.
I gently groaned. I felt like I was laying on clouds, and I was pressed against something warm and ever so slightly moving up and down, in time with the gentle breath that tickled my earlobe and neck.

Nico.
I realised that it was his arm that was wrapped tightly around my waist and his face that was nuzzling into my neck.
Even if I had the energy to move my body, I would've most likely stayed in this position. My eyelids started to close, and I felt myself drifting back off into sleep...
Suddenly, I heard knocking on the cabin door and I quickly squeezed my eyes shut. If Nico woke up, I didn't want him to wake up to me enjoying this. Wait! I'm not enj- okay, maybe a little.

I heard Nico groan behind me and he tightened his grip around my waist and nuzzled himself deeper into my neck. Sparks spread through my entire body and I almost started laughing at how much Nico sounded like a teenager being woken up to go to school.
"Niiiccooo! GET UP!!!" I recognised that annoying voice, it was Percy, and if Percy was there, then so was Annabeth-
"Come on Niiiccooo!" another voice sang. I recognised it immediately to be Annabeth's. Dam it, I'm good. 

Nico snuggled in deeper and I gulped. It was obvious that he did not like his beauty sleep interrupted.
"Nico, we are gonna come in if you don't come out NOW!" Percy and Annabeth yelled in-sync. I'd be surprised if they didn't rehearse that.
At the sound of that threat, Nico shot upright. I felt his eyes pinned to me, and I could imagine him scratching his neck.
He quickly jumped out of bed and I opened my eyes as he pulled open the door a crack and stuck his head out.
"What?" Nico said in exasperation to Percy and Annabeth.
"Oh, we just wanted to annoy you! We tried finding your girlfriend but she wasn't in the Hermes cabin. We want to get to know her, do you know where she went?" Percy asked Nico.
"First of all, she is NOT my girlfriend, and Pietra is still asleep." Nico replied, and from my limited vision, I could see Percy roll his eyes. "How do you know she's asleep?" Annabeth asked.
"Because she's in my cabin."
And with that, Nico shut the door, and I quickly shut my eyes. 
I could hear Percy shout from outside, "She's in your cabin! Isn't that against the rules!"
I quickly shut my eyes and felt his own stare at me. I felt completely exposed.

I pretended to wake up, letting out a small moan and rubbing my closed eyes. I let my eyes flutter open as I slowly sat up, trying to block out Percy shouting, "There has to be a rule against that, Chiron!"
I looked up at Nico and he was staring at me as I pretended to be confused about my whereabouts. "Whe- Oh, Camp Half-Blood." Those drama lessons paid off....nah, I'm kidding.
Nico looked at me with those intense, mysterious eyes and nodded, before flopping back onto the bed. I held back a smirk and stretched my arms above my head, feeling my joints crack.
I remember my friends hating me crack my knuckles and my neck, especially because when I do it, it's so loud. Like seriously, I could be on the phone, cracking my knuckles, and my friends would probably come over thinking I was making popcorn.
I don't know why, but they completely hate it. I've been told that I'll get arthritis by almost everyone I know. Usually I reply by cracking my knuckles in their face, and telling them that it was worth it.

I swung my legs off the bed, and forced my body to wake up, before glancing to Nico and gesturing to the shower.
"I'll go in after you." Nico said and I nodded in thanks, turning before he could see the smile that was tugging at my lips.

Nico's P.O.V

Percy and Annabeth are so annoying. I'm just glad Pietra didn't hear what they were saying. I could still hear Percy outside, talking to Chiron about how Pietra was in my cabin. I mean, come on, they are always PDAing, and I never complain. I heard the shower turn off and then a few seconds later, the door opened a crack.
"Nico. Umm, do you mind not looking?" Pietra said nervously.
"Uhh, yeah sure, sorry." I averted my eyes and kept my head down.
In my peripheral vision, I saw Pietra swiftly walk across the room with a towel wrapped around her, her dripping hair resting on the front of her shoulders and ending at her waist.
I heard her opening the picking up her clothes from yesterday (they had been washed), and close the door behind her when she went back into the bathroom to change.
When Pietra came out, along with a torrent of steam, I jumped up and walked swiftly into the bathroom. I couldn't help but notice the fogged up mirror, with a smiley moustache face in the middle. :{D
Closing the door behind me, I quickly stripped and slid into the shower, letting the water pour over me. I closed my eyes, and let my body relax in the boiling heat.
I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my lower region and strolled out of the bathroom. I glanced at Pietra who was staring at me and I smirked at her.

Grabbing my clothes, I went back to the bathroom and quickly changed into a t-shirt with a cross bones on it, and skinny jeans. I was dressed in all black, no suprise.

As I came back out of the bathroom, I threw my PJ pants in the corner, and walked straight through to the door of my cabin. Pietra jumped up from her seat on the bed, stashed her phone, and walked over to me. I held the door open for her, receiving a grin and a gentle punch. 
"Who do you think I am, Hera?" she huffed. I rolled my eyes at her, biting my gum to stop myself from smiling and stepped out of the doorway and started walking beside Pietra.

Suddenly, Leo popped out and ran in front of us with Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Hazel and Frank strolling behind.
"Wassup?!?" Leo exclaimed to Pietra, throwing his arms out as if to hug her. Pietra rolled her eyes and punched him playfully in the stomach.

Leo frowned, as if this was the first time he had ever been rejected by a girl. "Hey! I am the SUPER SIZED MC-SHIZZLE, The Maker of the Argo 2, the Captian Admiral o-"
"Don't you think its funny how much I don't care." Pietra interrupted. Leo immediately shut up, sticking out his bottom lip and giving her bambi-eyes.
They weren't the best bambi-eyes I had ever seen, but I applaud his 'attempt'.

She raised an eyebrow at Leo, and turned to glance at the others.
"How did she resist!" Leo gasped, and stumbled backwards as if the shock had hit him right in the heart.

Pietra's POV

"Hi, I'm Piper, Daughter of Aphrodite. Oh, and this is my boyfriend Jason, Son of Zeus." A  barbie doll clung to her blonde boyfriend, a Colgate smile on her face. She then pointed to a tall and buff Asian boy, standing beside a petite dark skinned girl with frizzy hair.
"That's Frank, Son of Mars, and Hazel, Daughter of Pluto. I've heard you've already met Percy and Annabeth?"
I nodded in reply, and she brightened her smile (if that was possible). 
"Oh, and the annoying one", she motioned to the Latino who had tried hugging me, "is Leo, Son of Hephaestus. "
I nodded, wearing a shy smile. "Hey, I'm Pietra, and could I just say, that no matter how hard I try, it will take me ages to remember your names. Sorry!" I bit my lip and shrugged my shoulders.
"That's fine! It's nice to meet you Pietra." Hazel said. She seemed really sweet... 
"Right back at you." I replied.
We stood there for a few minutes, discussing who my godly parent might be, and talking about what I thought of Camp Half-Blood.
"Well, you've already got a weapon, do you know how to use it?" Piper smirked at me. Is that a challenge?
I turned to Annabeth, "Who is the best sword fighter at camp?"
The words had slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them. I'm way to competitive for my own good... 
"Definitely Percy, and I'm not just saying that because he's my boyfriend." The others nodded in agreement, except for the blondie, Jason (I think), who grunted in annoyance.
"Okay, lets do this." I drew my sword and willed it to be Celestial Bronze.
"You're on."
