TW: Homophobia.

NICO POV:
"If you even put a single scratch in it, you're dead," I threaten Percy, handing him the keys to my car reluctantly.
"I promise I will drive safe and not crash it," he said, "And i'm not just saying that because you threatened me."
"I didn't threaten you, I made a promise," I say narrowing my eyes at him, "There's a difference."
He gulped, "No matter how long I know you I think you'll always scare me."
I smirked at him. "Good," I state plainly.
"Aright stop traumatizing Percy, I think he get its," Will says laughing lightly.
You know I really love his laugh, it's like music to me. Not that that's relevant right now though.
"Are you guys ready or not?" Jason interrupts.
"I am," Amber snickers. "I've just been waiting for Nico to stop lecturing Percy."
"That makes two of us," Jason adds.
"Me three," Will agrees.
"The day you have a car worth 100k and you hand over the keys easily to someone you've never seen drive is the day I'll apologize," I say narrowing my eyes at them all.
"Okay fair point," Jason says. Will and Amber nod in agreement.
"Well let's go," Amber says heading in the direction of her house.
Will and Jason had said they'll come with us today in case those guys try to start something. It's more likely that I can get away without repercussions if I just have to jump in to help Jason. Hopefully that even if it comes to that the police won't be involved since it's not on school property.
"So why do these guys pick on you?" Jason asked, after about 5 minutes of walking in silence.
Her eyes widened like he had just asked a very personal question. "Uhh, I don't really know," she said believably, but I could tell she was lying. I decided not to mention anything though since I seemed to be the only one who noticed it.
"Isn't this about where they came yesterday?" I asked, changing the subject. She shot me a grateful look.
"Yeah, it's normally around this block," she said looking around.
"Maybe their seeing you walking with three guys and ran away," Jason said playfully. "I mean if I saw Nico with someone I was bullying I'd run away."
"Spoke to soon," she said seeing them turning the corner in front of us.
They all burst out laughing when they saw us all.
"Oh so now your body guards got body guards I see?" Elijah mocked.
"We're not body guards," Jason growled, making sure he stood up as straight as possible.
"We're her friends," Will added. I could tell he was trying to look scary but it wasn't working.
"I don't need body guards, I could take all three of you with my hands tied behind my back," I said sardonically, stepping in front of everyone else so I was between them and the assholes.
"Oh wouldn't you love to test that theory, but wouldn't it be awful if the little faggot ended up back in Juvy," Jonah mocked, jutting his bottom lip out.
"That would be awful wouldn't it," Elijah joined.
I ran my tongue over my bottom teeth. "Name calling, Is that all you got?" I raise an eyebrow looking them up and down, "I knew you were a bunch of pussys but I didn't realize you were that weak."
"Im not a pussy," Daniel stated firmly.
"Look like one to me," Amber said shrugging mockingly.
Elijah stepped closer to me looking down his nose at me, though he was only a few inches taller than me.
"People think your so tuff but your just a little bitch that no body likes. And I think you and me both know that if you don't end up rotting in a jail for the rest of your life that you'll die of a drug overdose or lung cancer or something," he snarls.
"If you think you can upset me, I'm sorry to say it's not working. I really couldn't care less what you think," I scoff, rolling my eyes at his stupidity. "Your just a coward, and we both know it. Your trying to use words to hurt me because you know you know you could take me in a fight if you wanted to."
Will stepped up right next to me and pulled me back a few steps from him. "No ones gonna fight anyone," he says, "These guys are just gonna leave Amber alone, are we clear?"
All three of them laughed like what Will said we the funniest thing in the world. "Look your little boyfriend had to come help you!" Daniel snickered.
"Faggots got to stay together," Jonah smirked.
"Can you guys stop with that word," Jason snapped at them, seeming to be more effected by it than Will and I.
"What? Are you a faggot too?" Elijah mocked, "Not surprised, seeing at your so close to these things." He pointed at Will and I.
"There my best friends, I don't have to be gay to be willing the take a bullet for them. I mean i've already been stabbed for Nico," Jason retorts, the muscles in his neck pulsing.
"Awee does someone have a crush on the little faggot, I mean Grace would be an upgrade for Di angelo," Jonah said to his friends but made sure we were able to hear.
"Is the only thing you guys know how to do is be homophobic dicks?" Amber jumped in with.
"I'm just saying Diangelo could do a lot better than this, not to be rude or anything but he kinda looked like Daniels dog," Jonah said looking Will up and down with disgust.
"Your gonna shut the fuck up right now unless you want-" I began but was interrupted.
"Unless what? You gonna go cry to your mom about it?" Elijah said jutting out his bottom lip mockingly, "Oh wait, she's dead."
"Oh that's low," Jason growled, shaking his head in frustration.
I run my tongue over my bottom teeth. "Since when was this about me? the point is your gonna leave Amber the fuck alone," I say pronouncing every salable. I step towards them so that Im standing right in front of Elijah and locked eyes with him. I saw him gulp and divert his eyes.
"Yeah whatever," he said flicking his eyebrows up. "What are you gonna do about it?"
I clenched my fists, debating rather or not it was worth it to punch him in the face. Will grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back, "It's not worth it," he whispers in my ear.
"Let's just go, I'm bored here," Elijah says to his little gang. And with that they turn and walk back in the direction they had came from.
