Chapter Twenty: Happy Meals And Phone Charms

~Nico's P.O.V.~

Percy Jackson.

At first even i didn't think that it was possible, why would the best in the camp ever fall in love with the most hated person behind the boundary?

It hurt to think such things but thats what the truth is like. Everybody was always like 'oh Percy and Annabeth' and 'there so cute' or 'there perfect together'. Watching from the shadows hurt more, when they thought no one was around because my presence couldn't be sensed.. The kisses and laughs they would share that piece by piece broken my already shattered heart.

I understood of course. Those two had known each other longer, not to mention i was young then Percy when we met...well technically I'm older but the details don't matter.

I was nearly used to not having the person i loved the most, my crush in a frozen state where i couldn't go back nor forward...

Then came Annabeth's death.

Obviously thoughts about how i could now make Percy my own slipped into my head..but seeming him like that, mourning for the love he had lost....i just couldn't bring myself to even hope.

Thinking of him as more of a friend now i comforted him as best as i could....who knew that was the way to win his heart..

My eyes slowly fluttered open, chocolate brown hues showing as they adjusted to the darkness of the room.

Percy's cabin smelled like the ocean, which was of course obvious since he was the son of Poseidon but you have never smelt an ocean like this before. Fresh and clean, salty yet sweet at the same time. You could feel the warmth of then sun through the windows, if you closed your eyes you could imagine siting on a beach somewhere.

It was...peaceful.

Looking behind me, my expression grew puzzled seeing that i was in an empty sea-foam bed. "...Percy?" I called out, thinking he may have need the bathroom. When i didn't get any response my panic levels started rising slowly.

It wasn't a dream, i knew it couldn't me...Percy did love me.....right? My sea prince loved me?

Climbing out from underneath the warm covers i looked around the room for the rest of my clothing, only wearing my black boxers now. I pulled on my usual black get up, thoughts of how the recently developed relationship might've been a dream.

My arm outstretched for the door handle then it sudden flew open, Percy running in and knocking me down to the floor. As if on instinct his arms went around me so the impact of my body crashing to the floor wasn't that bad. A yelp of surprise still past my rosy lips, eyes wide with shock.

~Percy's P.O.V.~

Sheer relief was obvious to see on Nico's expression which honestly confused me. The only thought on my mind at this second though was closing that bloody door before a coffee soaked Jason killed me!

Bringing my leg back i swung it foreword then the door slammed shut, Jason running right into it and a loud 'thump!' Could be heard, quickly followed by "PERCY FUCKING JACKSON IM GOING T-" Thalia quickly cut him off with "JASON GRACE! WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!"

I couldn't help but laugh, shaking my head at how much control pinecone face had over her brother.

Looking down to Nico who was still below me a worried look appearing on my face. The boy was hugging into my chest tightly, his head buried into my chest. Gently pulling him back i looked over his relieved expression then but my lip seeing that his eyes were a little watery.

"..Nico....whats wrong?" I asked softly and the son of Hades shook his head slowly.
"I thought you left me fish stick..i thought 'we' were just a dream..." He whispered quietly and my eyes grew wide.
