F/F: favorite flower


- Third Person's POV -

Prom was coming up at the high school where the Seven, you, Nico, and a few other demigods enrolled. It was nice to have something to look forward to for once.

Nico, on the other hand, couldn't be more bothered by all the fuss for the upcoming Saturday night. Literally every day, some guys would be pestering him to go get a date and girls would randomly confess to him.

Of course, the sole reason why Nico hadn't been very active with all the hassle was because he already had one girl in mind: you.

Ever since the two of you were kids, Nico had a tiny crush on you. Seven years later, that little feeling and spark had turned into a blossom of love every time he laid eyes on you.

The week before, Nico had already thought of hundreds of ways to confess to you and ask you out to prom. But it all came crumbling down as he watched from afar, a jock handing you a rose.

And so, the poor boy had lost his confidence in ever asking you out. It's only 3 more days until prom night, and he didn't even bother finding a date. If it wasn't you, then why try?

One day, you were late to class and were rushing all over the halls to find your friend to ask her for the homework answers. In a hurry, you subconsciously linked your arms with none other than Nico di Angelo himself without even checking who it was.

Nico's face flushed red but said nothing as you continued to pull him to your class. Your friend, who also had short, black hair, smirked as she spotted you dragging Nico into class. "As much as I'm glad they're together..." she muttered, "Y/N's not going to make it without these homework answers..."

You didn't even realize it was Nico until you sat down. You hurriedly took out your notebook and pencil and turned towards your friend, only to realize it wasn't her.

"Nico! Oh my gods, I'm sorry I dragged you here..." You gave an awkward laugh, "You don't mind giving me your notebook... right?"

Nico's eyes softened as he gave you a sweet smile. He leaned forward to reach out for his notebook, then lent it to you. "Hurry, the teacher's coming soon..."

From the other end of the classroom, Annabeth chuckled and rolled her eyes as Percy was also copying the answers off of her notebook. I guess these siblings really were alike in every way.

...

Nico was getting desperate. He wanted so badly to go to prom with you but was worried you would reject him and have his friendship with you ruined forever.

Suddenly, as if some kind of miracle was sent to him, a random jock he never talked to ran to him. He was sobbing and carrying a cheeseburger.

"Dude... you're that Nico guy, right? Take this," he shoved the cheeseburger into Nico's hands, still sniffing and snotting all over the place, "Take this as a sign to ask Y/N out. I was too late to come for my love..."

Nico cringed as the dude ran away, sobbing as he fell to the bench dramatically.

Nico looked down at the snotty cheeseburger before tossing it into the trash. The snotty boy was right, he shouldn't give up now when he's so close.

He rushed to get a flower from a nearby flower shop down the street, then ran back to the school in a sweaty mess during lunch break.

Nico spotted you reading in the corner of his eye, then proceeded to walk towards you nervously.

"Hey," he said breathily, "Wanna go to prom with me?"

Your eyebrows shot upwards as you looked at Nico's hands, holding a fresh bouquet of F/F.

"I've been waiting for you to ask for so long..." You smiled, getting up and leaning forward to kiss Nico's cheek.

Nico's eyes widened as he flushed red, immediately holding you by the waist as he stood still and let you kiss his cheek.

You pulled back, looking at your best friend curiously, "What's with the sudden confidence?"

"Oh, you can thank snotty boy for that..." Nico looked away, grunting slightly at the thought of the slimy cheeseburger.

With a laugh, you looked at Nico cheekily, "Oh, you mean Jeremy? He was crying when I rejected him, saying I was waiting for a certain someone... and his cheeseburger reeks."

Nico chuckled and held you close, burying his nose into your hair as he took in your scent, "Actually, it was because of him I thought I didn't have a chance with you... I thought you had agreed to go with him..."

You smiled as Nico gave you a longing squeeze. He kissed your ear and whispered, "I love you..."

...

"Did they kiss yet?" Jason asked, poking his head behind Piper as she watched you and Nico hugging each other.

She shook her head, putting her binoculars down in disappointment. "Nah, I don't think they're there yet."

"Dam it."
