Chapter 13

Nico

The next day at school, Percy seemed. Distracted. He wouldn't look up when he was called on for class, and stared mostly out the window. It bothered Nico quiet a lot. I mean come on! His boy- I mean, best friend is ignoring him. Nico stared at Perseus with his dark orbs. The sea green eyed boy continued to stare out the window. Lost in thought, thinking of something or some one... In the bathroom, where the two boys could actually be alone, Nico asked leaning against the stone wall, "Perce... Are you ok?" He asked as the taller boy rose a brow. "Yeah. I'm good." He reassured him, but it seemed his voice seemed far away. "Percy, don't lie to me." he whispered as the other boy sighed. Perseus plastered a small grin on his face and nodded, "Look Neeks. It's nothing. Honest." He urged but Nico wasn't convinced. "Promise?" He asked and Percy nodded. Holding out his hand to the pale boy. "Promise."

At lunch, Percy disappeared. Like seriously, he vanished. Nico looked and looked for him. Usually it was Nico who vanished in the shadows. But the taller boy was nowhere to be found. Not in the pool nor the nurse. He even asked Ashley, who apparently seemed to like stalking the two. The fangirl thought about it, holding her index finger on a page of a book she was reading, "Uh... lets see." She hummed and snapped her fingers, "Before lunch! Last time I saw Perseus was outside with Octavian." It hit Nico like a pile of bricks. "What?" He asked as the girl nodded smiling uneasy. "I mean I don't ship it, but it was canon last year." Canon? Ship? What!? Nico had no time to think, he needed to find Percy before Octavian said something that would ruin everything. After quickly thanking the crazy girl, he ran toward the doors of the front grounds. Outside he scanned the field, finding no one other than a certain blond, named Will Solance looking quite with himself. "What?!" Nico yelled as the blond made eye contact with Nico for a long while. "Well, let me see, you are one pretty.... little... lair." he walked, or should I say stalked, toward the pissed off boy and bent down a bit to look him in the eyes. "You know, I told you. I told you NOT to get into his shit. But NO. You were so angry at HER. That you just HAD to take it out on others. Now look were it got you." Nico stared at the blond confused, angry, and hurt. What did he mean?! Who did he mean?! Octavian? Percy? Who God dammit!? Will smirked at Nico's dismay and lightly pat him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Neeks." Will teased ruffling the shorter boys hair. "You'll have your sea Prince back. Octavian won't say anything. I promise, just remember this. You come when you are told." With that he left leaving the wide eyed boy, alone to stare after him.

After a while of standing there like an idiot, he felt a hand on him. His first thought was Percy but the fates trolled him seeing it was no other than Jason Grace. "Hey Nico. What are you doing out here?" He asked as the dark boy looked away trying to think of an excuse. "I was... I was getting fresh air." he muttered and the blond rose a brow but didn't question it. "Alright then.... Come on, Percy's been waiting, really impatiently I should add, for you in the lunch room." with that Nico hastily followed the blond football player toward the sea Prince. When they entered Nico was surprised to see Leo waving toward him. He mouthed and held up one finger, "One sec." Nico rolled his eyes and told Jason he'd meet him at the table. He strutted toward the Latino boy and glared at him. "What Valdez?" He asked and the tanned boy smirked tossing him a box. "Here, toke a while to get the lenses. But nothing I couldn't fix." Nico actually gave a small smile and nodded. "Thanks Valdez." he replied and Leo nodded. "No problem. I owe you, I still owe you. Anyway, I got to fix Piper's cell phone before her dad finds out. I swear I don't know why she doesn't just get another." he babbled and with that left. Nico snickered and quickly walked toward the table where his friend was waiting. Or, more like friends. "Hey Nico" Percy smiled crookedly as the pale boy sat down waving. "What you got there?" Allison asked pointing at the box. "Oh, it's nothing." Nico replied shoving the box onto his lap. Ashley giggled and winked at him. "It better be nothing." Nobody understood what she really meant. Maybe that was for the best. They went around, with they're usual conversations. Like if Jason was ready for football season, or if percico was ever gonna sail, (what the heck that meant) or even why the heck Octavian and Will kept showing up everywhere. Which was really odd, since what happened last year. Which made Nico pounder, he was new this year. Same grade as everyone else. But, nobody seemed to speak of what happened that year. His phone buzzed unexpectedly as he checked it. Sure enough, it made him pissed.
Will: After school. You, me, and Octavian. 3:45. not a minute longer. You wouldn't want your fish brain boyfriend to know would you?
Nico scowled and glared at the two blond boys across the room. They stared right back. Something, something bad, was going to happen.

It was after school. The time neared, why too fast for Nico's liking anyway. Percy wanted Nico to come over after his swim practice, and as much as the boy wanted more than anything, he couldn't. He walked toward the back of the school, in his black jacket, his black hair covering his eyes, and worn out sneakers on his feet, he met the two boys. Their arms folded and smirk upon their faces. Which he wanted to slap off. "What do you want done this time?" He asked in a monotone voice. "Today, I want you to hurt him. Beat him until his wound opens again." The small boy nodded. "Oh. And try not to leave marks this time. He's still mine."

Nico.... he was... he was a high school hit man. He settle scores by Octavian, sometimes Will. The gym opened revealing the swim team. A certain team member walked alone, his hair still wet. They made eye contact through Nico's hair. "You." he heard the voice say. "Just... just get it over with..." With that Nico punched the taller boy, who fell to the ground and small boy kicked. and kicked. and kicked. Until the wounds reopened, his cries being able to be heard throughout the gym, and his pleading for mercy. After more than Nico could handle, he stopped. And the taller tanned boy breathed heavy. "Is your master satisfied?!" The boy yelled as Nico turned away. Without a single word he jogged away, leaving the bruised boy on the floor. As Nico retreated to the bathroom, to wash his red sneakers, and hands of red blood.

The pale boy got a text from Percy later that day. Around 5:23 to be exact.
Persassy: Hey Neeks, can you come over? I'm bored as Hades. Pleeeeeeeease?
Nico couldn't deny he wanted to go. So he replied yes, and started to get ready to leave the house. "What are you doing?" asked a voice behind him. He turned seeing Javier fixing his glasses. "Nothing you need to care about." Nico replied annoyed. The boy with glasses rolled his eyes, "Well, I do care. Your my half brother. And Hazel is out. So it's technically my responsibility to tell her where you are when she gets home." Nico scowled and sighed. Hazel would get pretty pissed if Nico left without telling anyone. "Fine fine. I'm going to Percy's. Don't worry, I'll be home this time." Javier laughed and wiggled his eyebrows, "Oooh, what you guys gonna do?" Nico growled and a blush appeared on his pale face. "God your just as annoying as your crazy girlfriend." It was now Javier's turn to blush. "What- WAIT?! Girlfriend?! Who Ashley?! Or are you stating Allison? Just because I hang out with girls?!" He defended as Nico burst out laughing shoving him out of the doorway. "Alright whatever. Stop getting so defensive." "I am not getting defensive!"

As the door opened to Percy's house Nico smiled at his friend. "Hey Nico." Percy smiled letting him in. Nico noticed his sea friend had a sweater on and sweats on. "Uh, Perce. Why are you wearing a sweater?" He asked raising a brow. Perseus's face paled and replied hastily "Uh- I- it's cold!" He sputtered and the pale boy rose another brow. "oook?" He said dragging the o. He noticed how hard it was for Percy to move, the strained look on his face when he moved making his way to the couch. "Percy are you sure your ok?" He asked and the tanned boy nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine Ghosty." "Percy you promised you won't lie to me." Nico added. The sea boy sighed and looked away. "I.. I know..." he sighed and Nico sat next to his friend (yeah right) staring at him, as if waiting for Percy to do something. "So? Percy you have to tell me." he urged. Percy stared back at Nico and nodded. He toke off his trident sweater revealing a bandage chest, to which Nico held back a breath. "Perce..." Nico breathed out in hopelessness. Percy had faded blood on the pure white bandage, like he was beaten over and over again. "Who did this?" Nico asked, staring into Percy's dull eyes. Percy shrugged and gave Nico a small smile. "I'm ok Neeks. Really." Nico felt a pang of guilt. And a rush of hatred. Just staring into Percy's sea green eyes, he couldn't take it anymore. So, he didn't hold back anymore. What he had done, just about ruined everything he'd done. Octavian had warned him, that it would ruin Nico. He had just about ruined the best thing he ever had. All because. He couldn't stop himself from kissing Percy FUCKING Jackson.

Chapter Question: Percico or Percavian?
A/N: Jason: I hate you. My OTP just sailed and you didn't even write how Percy reacted. Well excuse me for being sick! You don't even help! You just pester me to write while I cough like a squeak toy! Jason: *pouts*
