Pink Silk (A Percico Fanfic)

Pink Silk

Author's note:

The title is never explained btw. Completely up to interpretation because this fic has been in the works since the beginning of 2023, and I'm still not entirely sure what I wanted to do with it. I just think pink is nice. Enjoy!

"Percy, it hurts," Nico winced once they were officially out of danger's way.

The omega was clutching his thigh as rich scarlet blood slowly began seeping through the open gash in his skin.

"Okay, hold on, just let me--" Percy frantically dug through his pack for any kind of medical supplies; luckily finding ambrosia squares along with what looked to be bandages.

Wait a minute, Percy thought. These aren't bandages.

The "bandages" he was hoping for turned out to be a single strip of powder pink silk fabric (that he definitely didn't remember packing).

Whatever. At least it'll stop the bleeding.

In a hurried daze, Percy adjusted himself so that he was between Nico's legs as he wrapped the fabric around the wound as tightly as he could so that the rush of blood would finally stop. He couldn't even recall exactly how Nico got hurt; his brain was solely focused on taking care of the omega under him without much thought given to anything else at the moment.
It absolutely killed him to see Nico in pain, so he continued keeping pressure on the wound before realizing that there were zero blood stains on the silk. Percy definitely thought it was odd, but he couldn't let anything else take his attention away at the moment until he was a hundred percent sure that the bleeding had stopped before he could properly clean the wound.

"I, ah, I think it stopped..." the omega said, and Percy eased up on the amount of pressure he was putting on the injured area.

"What even happened back there?"

"I'm....oh, fuck, having a hard time remembering...." Nico admitted.

"Don't think about it, then. Do you think you could take some ambrosia?" Percy offered a piece of one of the squares to him which Nico took gratefully.

He would worry about the boy's mild amnesia later, but for right now...Percy had bigger mysteries to solve. Like the magical stupid piece of silk that happened to appear the moment he needed it the most, for instance. Speaking of which, Percy carefully took it off Nico's thigh and turned it over in his hands. The fabric had not a single drop of blood on it and looked pristine on either side.

Weird.

"Those ghosts really did cut me deep, huh?" Nico said, distracting Percy from the questions still floating around in his mind.

"Sure looks like it," Percy murmured as he looked down and quickly realized his face was hot.

The second he took his eyes away from Nico's injury was the second he knew he made a mistake. He quickly realized where he was, and it was seriously making him blush. Percy could barely focus around the pretty omega when he wasn't between his legs. On a quest. Alone together.

"I know I'm just now remembering, but this doesn't make any sense," Nico rambled. Percy hoped he kept talking because there was no way he could survive Nico catching him staring at the space between his spread thighs when he was supposed to be tending to a very serious injury that even ambrosia would take time to heal.
