Misunderstood

Why?

Ashton POV-
I felt a feeling of someone watching me...
I open my eyes and have to squint at the harsh, bright light.
As soon as my eyes adjust I see an angry Percy, frowning at me and Nico.
"Percy-" I was interrupted.
"Don't say anything you will regret. Get up we are leaving." He said sternly.
"But-"
"No buts!"
Nico heard the yell and shot up.
"Huh?! What? Is there a monster?" He panicked. Then he noticed Percy.
"No just an annoying brother." I say.
"Don't sass me young lady." Percy warned.
"Deal with it." I retort almost laughing.
"Hey that's my line. But now is not the time. We are leaving and you are never allowed to see Nico again." Percy stated matter-a-factly.
Nico was now trying to shrink himself from the conversation. But Percy noticed this.
"Nico don't think because you are an introvert I won't notice you because I'm yelling at Ashton. I'm yelling at both of you. Why were you two sleeping in the bed together?" He asked the both of us.
"We feel asleep watching movies..." We both murmur in unison.
"Yeah sure. Like me and Annabeth feel asleep in the stables of The Argo II."
"Come on Ash. Can you really trust him to be your boyfriend?" He looked pleadingly.
"Wha...?! How..?! Who said we are dating? Cause I didn't say we are dating ? Nico did you say we are dating? I didn't hear you say that. So no one said we are dating. What made you have that crazy thought? He he he..he..." I said flustered.
"I may or may not have been spying on you guys last night..." He looked ashamed. But it only lasted a second.
"You what?! You could you?! Don't you trust me?! Why...?" I was hurt.
Nico could see this so he grabbed my hand to comfort me.
"Remove your hand off my sister." Percy growled.
"Percy. Shut. Up. I'm Ashton's boyfriend and there is nothing you can do about it. But I promise you that I will do anything in my power to see that Ash lives a long, happy, carefree life and if you get in the way of it, so help me Hades, I will TROW you in tarturaus alone so you know what I have gone threw." He continued but scoffed,"Bet you wouldn't last a day in there without Annabeth."
Percy looked shocked and surprised at how much Nico had said to him and one time, also worried at what the son of Hades might do to him.
"What makes you think I'll believe you...?" Percy said causatously.
Why was Percy acting this way? Why is he surprised at Nico talking? ...Nico always was talkative with me...
"Lets talk out side please." Percy and Nico stepped outside.
Percy POV-
Nico and I stepped outside to talk.
Truth was I wasn't so mad anymore after Nico said what he said to me. ....but I have to be sure.
"Alright. Now continue. " I say.
"Ok..so the truth is that I heard the conversation you and Ashton had...about her sister.. I was walking up to the door to check up on her when I heard you guys talking. I tried to listen and I heard what happened...I made a promise to my self and to her...I felt horrible. Both our sisters had died in the same year. And I thought I was in pain. But after I heard her story I knew Ash has it worse. She watched her sister die and sat there useless. And her sister was younger so of-course the older sibling would feel deathly responsible for the accident.
I promised to make sure that I'd do my best to protect Ashton from the all evils in this world. Now that I knew Ash is experiencing worse things then I am, I have be there for her...I never want to see her hurt again. I just want to protect her... And be there for her..forever even if I can't have her by my side or grow old together as a couple but at least as friends. Just please don't take her away from me..I won't be-able to protect her..." Nico had started to cry. And so did percy.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you...I should have trusted you..your like my little brother...I shouldn't have done that im so sorry..." Percy hugged Nico.
