A cold sensation washed over Nico as he awoke in his Cabin. Startled, Nico jumped out of bed and hid in the shadows, awaiting to see what had happened, or more accurately who had wet him. Although he already thought he knew who it was.
"Nico, come out from there. Besides you're making this place cold." Percy whined standing in front of Nico as he hid in the shadows. To no surprise, Nico was correct. It was the child of Poseidon, and his crush... Percy. Only he was that stupid and childish, but only he could do that in the most adorable way.
"Meany! You almost killed me with a heart attack!" Nico complained, trying to sound mad, which was absolutely impossible with Percy around.
" I'm really sorry Nico." Percy pouted with his annoyingly compelling puppy dog eyes. Which he quickly stopped as Nico glared at the child of Poseidon teasingly.
"Why did you do that anyway? It's midnight! And aren't you supposed to be in you cabin? Or with Annabeth?" The smaller boy questioned. However be had asked the last part with hatred. Nico absolutely loathed Annabeth. She was the reason he could never hang around with Percy, she was always stealing Percy away from himself or always making excuses to take him away from Nico.

Percy's face went dark and saddened. He quickly hid his expression with a sense of joy hoping that Nico hadn't noticed but to no prevail.
"It's a surprise. Now get you jacket and come on!" Percy answered eagerly taking hold of Nico just as he had grabbed his jacket and pulled him behind.
Percy was so nervous about waking Nico up, but this was something Percy couldn't delay. Percy was so anxious and excited that he pulled Nico behind him the whole way without realising and within no time at all the two had made it down to the river. However through Percy's ignorance to his surroundings they did at one stage run into security. Percy lied and told them that Percy was taking Nico down to the river as Nico wasn't very well and down at the river, being the son of Poseidon he could possibly help Nico, which was only partially true. But the security bought it.
"So, are you going to tell me what this is all about? Or do I have to guess? Percy you know I don't like guessing things." Nico pouted tiredly. Percy couldn't keep a straight face let alone a straight face without blushing. He found Nico absolutely adorable.
"Hahah just come over here and see." Percy replied happily. Nico sighed and made his way over. Percy's face filled with horror as he watched Nico trip over the stones. Nico's face went pale. Immediately Percy rushed underneath Nico just in time managing break is fall, lips mere centimetres apart. The two boys cheeks went a deep shade of crimson.
"S-sorry P-Percy. I didn't mean to." Nico stuttered embarrassed by his clumsiness.
"It's fine, I should've know something might've happened, I mean I guess I did just wake you up. Sorry." Percy replied with his rippling and soothing tone. Nico thought that Percy's voice could create competition for even Piper's charm speak.
"N-Nico? You okay? You started staring off blankly at me. What were you thinking bout?" Percy asked warily, afraid he may have done something wrong.
Snapping out of his train of thought Nico answered softly, almost so much that he Percy hadn't heard him. "I uh well, I was just wandering about why you woke me up and what this was all about.." That was however partly true. He was thinking about what this was all about.
"Oh, well I can't show you if you are still lying on-top of me." Percy giggled softly.
"I guess you're right." Nico muffled trying to hold back his giggle, which saddened Percy. Percy believed that Nico's face, when he laughed was so well kissable. That was the only word Percy could think of right then. His laugh is so cute and genuine, which he rarely ever experienced.
The two separated, sitting side by side for a few seconds before Percy realised what he was meant to be doing.
"Skatá! Sorry I'll be back in no time." With that Percy dashed off. (Skatá is Greek for shit.)

Nico sat silently, deep in thought about Percy and what he was doing. Nico was starting to become suspicious that something was bout to happen. He wasn't one to not to know about things. Growing more in depth in his train in thought he started thinking of all sorts of possibilities if he and Percy were to date. He thought about what they could do: snuggle up at night, piggy back rides~which Nico lived almost as much as he loved Percy and that was saying something. Nico couldn't help but smile at that last thought.
Yet again the perfect boy, Percy, interrupted his train of thought.
"Back!" Percy squealed happily as he brought a projector and two beanbags.
"W-what is this?!" Nico exclaimed with unmistakable surprise and happiness. Which again was very rare for this Demi-God.
"What's it look like? We are having a movie night!" Percy squealed way to excitedly. Throwing the beanbags down by the watery edge, Percy started up the projector. He put in his favourite movie~ Finding Nemo.
"W-wait, I thought we aren't allowed technology at camp." The younger child asked with confusion.
"Well...I have my perks." The Demi-God answered cheekily. Nico just shrugged his shoulders, trying to hide his excitement. The boy then took a seat on the bean bag right next to the other teen. Using his ability to manipulate water, Percy formed a large, ripple-less screen. As Percy started the movie the two sat quietly focused on the movie. Well one of them was. Nico was focused on something else, Percy. The young black haired boy was suddenly overcome by the urge to take hold of Percy's hand and lean over and rest his head on his lap.
