hotter

rn my mental health is unstable and ik ik i haven't updated in , like, a bazillion years so yeah... here's an update for u guys, gals, and non binary pals.

nico opened his eyes from a heavy sleep and found himself on thalias' ucomforable couch in the living room. he was no longer wearing his beach get uo but instead had on an oversized purple tee-shirt that was definitely not his which he identified as reynas'. he also had some black sweatpants on that were way to long for his short-ish legs. nico looked outside the small window on the wall above the couch, he noticed a dark sky filled with stars. he didnt remember changing his clothes nor falling asleep on the couch. nico yawned and stood up, making his way to the bathroom.

nico winced as the scorching hot water from the sink faucet his his hands. every minute just standing in the that apartment made his stomach hurt as he thought about every bad decision he had made while partially living here. he turned the knob signaling warm water, making the water hotter. sometimes the pain subsided thoughts. it wasn't working. suddenly his mind went back two years, seeing percys' confused face as he told him the truth. he turned the knob again and grimaced. hotter. gripping the other boys' hand so he wouldn't leave him, begging on the ground for him to stay. hotter. bianca holding the gun to her head. pulling the trigger with tears brimming her eyes. hotter.

nicos' eyes caught onto thalias' lady shaving razor laying on the side of the shower.

the rational part of his brain told him to stop what he was about to do, but nico simply ignored that and reached for the razor with his burning red hand. soon it was was six inches away from the razor. then five inches. four inches. three....he abruptly pulled back his hand and shut the faucet off as he herd the apartment door getting violently banged on. thalias' voice yelled,"hold on!" as he herd her run towards the door and it flung open outside of the bathroom. nico took a deep breath.

he told thalia he wasn't better. he knew he wasn't better. he couldn't get better.

then, on the other side of the bathroom door, nico herd a familiar angry voice yell, "where is he?!" nico hesitated to open the bathroom door to see what was going on, but he did in case the person at the door was a threat to thalia.

as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, nicos' eyes met with light blue ones. "nico!" will yelled, and ran over to the other boy, pulling nico into a hug, slightly lifting nicos' toes off of the ground. nico stood stiff in the hug, then will noticed his expression and rubbed his neck with a sheepish smile. "woops! sorry forgot about the physical contact." nico glared at him, then peeked behind will to see percy and hazel standing by the wide open door. hazel looked like she wanted to get out of the apartment while percy looked at nico with a concerned face.

will looked at nico with a serious face. "percy told me where to go, and i took leo's truck to get here. but you have some MAJOR explaining to do for me." the blonde haired boy sternly said to nico.

thalia peered over at percy. "so this is the guy you fucked, hm?" she walked over to percy and inspected him as he widened his eyes and his cheeks git red. she tugged on his ear and poked all over his face in concentration. after an ackward 30 seconds, she finally ruffled his hair and walked back to where she was standing with her arms crossed over her chest nonchalantly "not bad, di angelo. too bad i'm not into dudes."

silence.

"uh... i- i'll be back with thalia," nico said calmly and sweetly as he abruptly snatched thalias hand and started pulling her into the small bathroom, his face completely red with both anger and embarrassment. once the two got into the bathroom, nico heard reynas voice announce, "so, anybody want some weed?"

nico and thalia made intense eye contact in the enclosed small bathroom. count to ten, nico. he told himself. count to ten. long story short, that plan went straight out the window after three seconds of counting. nico suddenly burst. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, THALIA?!" everyone outside of the bathroom could definitely hear him.

thalia picked at her black nail polish off of her short bitten finger nails. "what do you mean?" she asked calmly.

"Oh my FUCKING GOD thalia! you litteraly just managed to out not one, BUT TWO FUCKING PEOPLE, IN THE SPAN OF THIRTY FUCKING SECONDS!"

"alright, alright, buckaroo. all you're doing is showing everyone outside of the bathroom that you know how to say the word fuck."

"THALIA." nico warned.

"okay. i get how i could have angered you."

"THANK you."

"it's because you're so tiny." she smiled cheekily.

"the fuck does my heaight have do to with any of this?" nico asked angrily. "plus, i'm not tiny..." he added quietly.

"well, you see, short people have no room to hold all of their anger, so they are always meaner, like you. it's science, you can't deny it." thalia shrugged.

"holy shit thalia, let's just get out of this bathroom so i can go deal with the mess that, may i remind you, YOU created for me."

"well, may i remind YOU that YOU'RE the one who pulled me in here with you."

a/n: i love u all who are still sticking with me through this tough time. may whatever higher power in your religion bless u.
