Our Broken Worlde chapter 22

Nico's POV

"So did you have fun?" Percy asks. He gulps down the rest of his water discarding it in trashcan then wiping off the sweat on his forehead. He sighs contentedly and makes his way over to his bed plopping down on his stomach and making me bounce up.

Yeah, I did have fun, but of course I would never admit that.

"Maybe. " I snort 

Percy guffaws and his mouth falls open. "Aw come, Nico. I know you had fun. "

"Maybe. " I say again.

We sit in silence for a minute, neither of us saying anything. And before I know it, Percy lunges at me and his hands start moving across my stomach tickling me.

"Stop!" He moves to my shoulder blades near my neck and continues tickling me until he rolls us over and I'm lying underneath him. My breath catches and he freezes, staring at me. And that's how it is for a moment. Both us of staring and frozen into place. His eyes widen and he looks mortified.

After a moment he scrambles off, rambling on about how sorry he is. But what I can't get over is the fact that I actually didn't mind it. But I know it's wrong.

His face blushes and he stands awkwardly next to his bed. He sighs rubbing a hand down his face.
"Nico, I-"

But I can't hear him because I'm already out the  door. I can't believe....I can't believe he actually did that. I can't believe I liked it.

I stand on the steps outside his cabin. It's getting dark outside but I find my self more energized then ever.

"Fuck!" Percy screams. Glass shatters against the floor and he bams the wall. I'm tempted to go in but I can't. Not while he's like this.

No one is hardly around, thank gods, but I can't leave Percy like this. I sit outside his steps and lean against the door.

"Shit. " Percy says. Something else crashes to the floor, but its not glass. I'm glad because I don't want him to cut himself. My heart is beating so fast and I really want and need to go in there. It isn't fair. When I went through things like this, Jason always came to my rescue. No matter how big or little the situation was, he was always right by side. But I don't understand why he's doing this.

"Percy. " I call. The loud string of curses stops and everything is quiet. A camper from the Apollo cabin walks by and stares at me before hurrying off.

"Percy. " I say again.

"Go the fuck away, Nico. " he growls through the door.

Oh hell no.

"Listen, Percy. You have to tell me what's wrong. " I say.

"No just go away. "

"Percy listen. Just tell me what's wrong and we can work this out. You were happy like five seconds ago. "

I hear him slide to the floor and I can hear him crying through the door. My heart breaks and I feel like it's all my fault. I was scared. What did he expect me to do? Kiss him? I mean I wanted to but I couldn't.

"Why, Nico?"

"What did I do?" I have to crane my neck to get closer to the door so I can hear him.

"You did nothing. It was me.  I'm such a fuckup. I messed up and I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to-"

"Whoa, Percy slow down. It's okay. Just tell me why you're acting this way. You didn't do anything."
