TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of abuse and being abused

(Percy's POV)

I felt myself awaking up. I rubbed my eyes to see Blackjack landing near the old abandoned playground. I gently shook Nico. "Love, we are here."

"Mhm. Please make sure the toy is in there too please." Nico mumbled into my shoulder.

I laughed a little. I made sure the picnic basket was on my arm before gently turning around to wrap my arms around Nico. Once I knew both Nico and the basket wasn't gonna fall out/off my arms, I slid off of Blackjacks back. 

'Yo, you good Boss?' The winged horse asked.

"Yeah, everything is good here don't worry." I get him a smile. "If you wanna fly around you can, just try and stay hidden from the New Yorkers. I know it isn't gonna be hard but still."

'If I do decide to fly I will let you know, but for right now I am gonna take a nap." 

"Alright. Just let me know if you do because then I will whistle for you when we are ready to leave." I turned around and started walking towards the playground.

'You got it Boss.'

I couldn't help but roll my eyes but I didn't stop walking. I hurried and made laid out everything for our picnic. I sat down and put Nico on my crossed legs. I gently shook him. "Baby."

"Hm?" Nico mumbled.

"I set everything up for our picnic." I smiled proudly.

Nico rubbed his eyes as he tried to wake up. "You did?"

"Yep. I knew you was tired and stuff. I really didn't want to wake u up." I kissed his head.

"Well thank you. I love you." Nico looked up at me.

Leaning down, I let my lips touch his. We shared a soft sweet kiss. "I love you too."

Nico cuddled into me. "I got a question."

"Ask away." I laid my chin on his shoulder gently making sure that I didn't hurt him.

"Why do you just call me curtain names when I am in little space and not all the time? Like you call me Baby, Death breath, Skeleton, and some other weird names, but you only call me Honey, Baby boy, Sweetheart, Bunny and other names when I am in little space. Why is that?"

"Well somethings I know you wouldn't want to be called in public like Bunny. Also I have to keep them separate. I don't feel right if I mix them up. My ADHD says so. If I started calling you Sweetheart when you are normal, my brain would tell me your in little space and I could start treating you like you are in little space until I stop calling you it." I explained. "Its like me calling you Death Breath in little space. I will start treating you like you aren't in little space until I stop calling you that and then I will treat you like you are in little space."

"Wait, you call me Bunny in little space?!" Nico's head spun around to look at me. "Why?!"

I felt my face heat up. "You hop around like a bunny and one time you told me that you was a bunny so I kinda just went with it. You giggle every time I call you it so I figured you liked it."

He struggled and got a chicken nugget out. "Its a cute name, but you are right. If you call me that in public I will chop off your ball sack."

I rolled my eyes. "Be my guest. I would rather not have kids. Don't get me wrong kids are great, but they would constantly be in danger and I wouldn't wish that on a child."

Nico nodded. "I am the same way. Don't get me wrong. I little kids. I just don't want to be in danger at all times. If I had a child and it passed away because I am a demigod, I would never be able to forgive myself."

I took a bite out of the nugget he took out. "You just lied to me."

"I did not." Nico looked back at me. "How did I lie to you?"

"You don't like people. Kids are in the group of people." I said giving him a smirk.

"Kids are different than teens. They are happy and see the world in sunshine's and rainbows. They are perfect until someone messes that up." Nico finished off the nugget. "Take you for an example. You was a perfect child, until your Mom married Gabe and then he fucked that up for you." 

I shrugged. "He was just a bastard. He didn't what he was doing."

Nico stood up and glared down at me. "Are you defending him?!"

"No! I was just saying he didn't know what he was doing! He was always so drunk that there was no way that would have know what he was doing!" I stood up.

Nico looked pissed off. "He new exactly what he was doing. You jut don't hit a abuse a mother and her ground and be look Opps, I was drunk and didn't know! That's not how it works Percy!"

"Sometimes that's just how it is Nico!" I didn't want to argue with him. "Listen I don't want to-"

"PERCY," Nico full on yelled. "YOU DON'T ABUSE A TWO PEOPLE FOR YEARS GOING ON TOP OF YEARS AND NOT KNOW IT! HE WAS SOBER WHEN HE WOKE UP! HE WAS ABLE TO SEE THE DAMAGES HE DONE!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT NICO! HE WOULD NEVER SEE THE DAMAGE HE HAD DONE BECAUSE NEITHER MY MOM OR I WAS HOME WHEN HE WOKE UP! RATHER I AM THERE OR NOT MOM WASN'T NEVER THERE WHEN HE WOK UP AND BY THE TIME EITHER OF US HAD GOTTEN HOME HE WAS DRUNKER THAN DRUNK AGAIN!" I yelled as loud as I could. Tears started streaming down my face. My voice lowered to its normal volume. "I was the one person who could have saved my Mom and I didn't."

Nico walked over and tried to wrap his arms around me but I didn't let him. "Please don't touch me."

"Sorry I should have asked first." Nico looked at me. "I am sorry for yelling."

I heard a twig snap so my head snapped towards the woods. MY eyes widened when Gave stepped out. Instantly I was standing in front of Nico. I whispered. "Nico, get on Blackjack. Go back to camp."

"Wait whats going on? I am not leaving you!" Nico insisted. 

"Nico," I said in a more demanding tone as Gabe walked closer and closer. "Get on Blackjack and go back to camp now. This isn't up for debate."

"No I am not leaving you! Please tell me whats wrong." Nico almost begged.

I whistled for Blackjack. Once he was over I threw Nico on him. "Take him to Camp now. Do not come back for me and do not let him out of your sight. Oh and make sure we are in your stable so he can't shadow travel. I will be back as soon as I can be."

'Got it Boss.' Blackjack took off before Nico could protest. I turned back towards Gabe. I could hear Nico yelling in protest from the sky.

Gabe stopped about five feet away from me. "Hello Jackson."

"How the hell are you out of the underworld?" I crossed my arms.

"Oh just a little bidding. You know how I am. What not gonna run and give your step daddy a hug?" Gabe sarcastically remarked.

"Nah I am good. Plus I wouldn't come and hug you cause you ain't him." I gave him a smirk.

"Oh but I am. Me and your mother is still married." Gabe took a step closer.

I stood where I was. "Well according the the state of New York, you are missing presumed dead. Mom was over you before you was even dead so it didn't take her time to move on. Plus she upgraded my a lot, but then again it wouldn't take much to beat your scummy self."

"You fucking brat!" Gabe through a punch.

Instead of instantly blocking like my body normally does, it did the one thing I didn't want. It froze. Well this is going to be interesting.
