Be Aware (Demon! Percy Jackson)

I Can Be Myself

Percy:

Yeah. It caught me a bit off guard.

After a few moments I realized what the son of Hades had been doing and telling me. With out words.

He pulled away from me which kind of... I don't know. I wish he didn't do it.

Nico rubbed the back of his neck, looking down.

"Sorry...um..." He said. "I should probably go..."

He started to get up and I grabbed him by my shirt that he was wearing.

"You don't have to." I told him.

"I probably..." He was embarresed.

"Let me rephrase." I said. "Please don't go, Nico. That... It... My gods..."

"What?" The son of Hades asked me.

I ran my fingers through my hair.

"To be honest." I said. "You drive me crazy, Nico. I've known for a while now, at least and never had the guts to tell anyone. Much less do that.... Yeah. I mean you can go if you want. I'm not stopping you."

He looked at me for a moment. Just kind of like he was shocked.

Lunged again, but this time I was a hug.

Jason:

The next day Nico came out. Percy didn't.

"Did you kill him?" Hazel asked.

"No. " Nico told us as we all got breakfast. "I didn't. And I don't intend to."

"Why not?" Leo asked. "I mean, he's a fucking demon."

"He was a demon when we met him." Nico said. "He's a person, too, Leo. He's still half god like any of us here. He was killing bitches or anything. I dont have a real reason to kill him. If I could just go around killing demons. If people could do that, angels and demons would be extinct long ass time ago. Or at least not on Earth anymore."

"You spent the whole night there.' I commented. "Please tell me you at least told him.''

'Hadn't intends on it." The son of Hades told me. "But I actually spilled a lot of crap last night. That was one of them."

"Finally!" I said. "Took you long enough."

"Shut up." Nico told me.

"What?" Frank asked, walking over. "Is Percy alive?"

"Yeah." Leo told him.

"I'll explain later." Nico told them.

I don't care if Percy was a demon. For all I care he could be fucking Satan. Hasn't done any wrong to me. On purpose. A thing or two. But I do it to him, too. We're bros. It's how it works. I'm just happy Nico finally told him.

After breakfast I got Nico alone. He expected it.

"So." I said.

"So what?" He asked.

"What did he say?" I questioned. "How did he react? And how did you out of nowhere get the guts to tell him when the other day you were set on making sure he never found out."

Nico shrugged.

"You've played concentration, right?"

"Of course." I answered.

"It started off as that.' He explained. " he did the category and being curious did crushes. I stuttered and lost. He assumed I had a crush and bugged me about it. I didn't verbally tell him. Tried. But everything sounded stupid. So I said fuck it and I kissed him. As it was, we had to share a bed, anyway."
