**Nico's PoV**

"Percy! Come on!" I called from me, Jason, and Leo's room. He slowly walked in. Leo sighed.

"Can you not be in here? If you want me to be be healthy Leo, you will leave and let me rest." He mumbled, his voice raspy. Percy looked at me.

"Yeah. Lets go back to my house. Please...?" He gave me a desperate look. I just sighed.

"Okay, fine. You got your wish." I said to him. He gave me a small smile. "Lets go. See you later, Leo.

"Feel better, Repair Boy." He said. He nodded at Percy. Then, I was being dragged off by Percy. He dragged me through the living room, and to the door. Jason followed us.

"Your holding hands. Something you wanna tell me?" Jason said, grinning. I looked at Percy, who was blushing wildly. His face was abnormally red. He looked back at me, and the red just got brighter. Jason just chuckled, lowering his voice. "You guys are dating, aren't you?"

I grinned, nodding. Percy gave a shy nod. He gave us both a smile, then went back inside. I grabbed Percy's hand, and lead him to his car. We drove back to his place.

We got out of his car when we got there. We entered the house, and Percy grumbled, "I'm home." Paul walked in with Sally.

"I thought you guys were staying over there?" Percy's mom asked, confused.

"Annabeth was there, and 3 of the apartment inhabitants are sick." Percy said. Paul nodded. Percy looked at his parents. "Me and Nico are going to my room."

They nodded. Percy dragged me up the stairs, then to his bed. He layed down, and I couldn't help but notice the tear slipping down his cheek. I leaned down, kissing his lips softly.

He kissed back. His arm was around the arm that had the fresh cuts. I gently pulled his arm towards me. I pulled away.

"Nope." I say softly.

"But it itches. Its better to hold it, then itch it.." He said. He was right, but I still shook my head. He groaned in discomfort.

"And this, Percy, is why you don't cut. Okay?" I said gently. He looked down, his head resting close to my lap. He found my fingers, an started messing with my fingers. As it was late at night, he closed his eyes with a small yawn. I kissed his forehead.

"I love you, Percy."
