Three days before Leo and Percy had to leave, they took Nico out to see a movie. It was a new movie, just coming out, called Insurgent. Nico was in love with the book, and he knew he shouldn't expect so much from the movie. But he was still really excited.
"Nico? You want anything?"
"Popcorn!" Nico grinned at Leo, who laughed and hugged his best friend.
"One large buttered popcorn, and three small Cokes." Leo leans up and kisses Percy, and then kisses Nico's forehead.
"Let's go in, then." Leo smiles, each one grabbing their soda, and Percy grabbing the Popcorn.
They enter the theater and sit in the middle of the back row.

"That....was a good movie, I gotta say. Not as good as the book, but still."
"Ah, it's never as good as the book."
Leo glances at Percy and Nico, and then smiles.
"Yeah. Let's get home." Leo murmurs. Percy looks over, and then frowns.
"Leels? Are you okay?" Percy takes a hand off the wheel to grab Leo's. The Latino nods, smiling sadly.
"I don't want to leave." He whispers. Nico shivers, in the backseat. He stares at Leo.
"Baby, we aren't leaving today! We have 3 more days." Percy kisses Leos hand, eyes still on the road. Nico sighs hen Percy pulls into his driveway. He steps out, and then helps Leo out. They walk into the house, and Nico jumps out of the car, hands in his pockets. He shivers in the cold air, and rushes in after the chatting couple. He watches them walk off upstairs together, Percy trying to cheer Leo up.
And Nico suddenly feels the crushing sense of being alone. Of being left out, left behind, not cared for. Not wanted.
"Hey Nico."
Nico nearly yells as Bianca comes inside.
"Whaaat the hell!? Where have you been for like, the past 3 days!?" Nico growls, and she laughs, rubbing his head.
"I was staying at Reyna's. She sorta forced me to. That's how she gets to know people. So....yeah. Sorry." She grins and hugs Nico, who sighs and hugs her back.
"Thanks sis, for coming back. I...missed you." He smiles, and she chuckles.
"Suuure." She smiles, and then wraps an arm around his shoulders. "C'mon, you want an ice cream float?"
Nico smiles wider, and nods. "Sure, but only if you want a grilled cheese."
"You making it?"
