Favors (Percico AU)

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 (Nico's POV)

"We can go in my room" Percy said and opened his bedroom door. I walked in and saw his room for the first time. The walls were a tannish color, bare with only a movie poster by the closet. His desk was by the window, his bed on the back wall with a nightstand. His dresser on the opposite wall. Percy sat on his bed and plopped his backpack beside him. "If it makes you uncomfortable we can do homework at the table or you can sit at my desk."

I looked at said desk and, like the rest of the room, it was crowded with papers and one of his shirts. He looked over at it and he got up to clean it off. "Sorry about the mess. I'm not the cleanest person." I chuckled and set my backpack down on the foot of the bed. "I can sit at the desk. It will give us more room." Percy got out his textbooks before speaking, "Do you want to do some Italian today? We don't have to. It's not a tutoring day."

"Are you trying to get out of more work?" He kicked a ball of wadded paper across the floor, "Maybe." I rolled my eyes, "if you don't want to, I guess we don't have to." He smiled a little, "you know, we don't have to do math either." I looked at him. He shrugged, "worth a shot." I sat down at the desk after I got my backpack and pulled out our Math assignment.

After about an hour of homework, Percy groaned, "can we take a break? Please?" I sighed and got up, "I guess." Percy smiled and set his work beside him. He patted the mattress and I slowly walked over and sat down. It was a little awkward, and my mind wasn't fully ready to comprehend I was in Percy Jackson's room, alone. "When are your parents coming home?" I asked him. "In about an hour I think." I scooted closer to him.

I looked from my shoes to his eyes, then back to my shoes. He kissed my cheek, causing a slight blush to color my face. I looked at him again and kissed his lips. The kiss was slow and soft. It made my breathing accelerate. When the kiss ended, I looked back down at my shoes.

"You can look at me Nico." he said jokingly. I looked at him and kissed him again. It was a new feeling I was trying to get used to. Having a boyfriend, and kissing him. But I didn't want to move too fast.

"Your room smells weird" I said. He laughed, "Sorry." I smiled slightly and got up off the bed. "Where are you going?" I answered his question without looking at him. "I need to go to the bathroom."

The bathroom was right by his room. I closed the door and stared in the mirror.

I couldn't wrap my mind around what was going on. I was kissing Percy Jackson. I liked kissing him, but it made me lose my breath. Part of me was still in shock that Percy would like me in the first place. But I knew it was just that voice of doubt in the back of my head.

The more I thought about it, the more I started to convince myself it was all a prank. Like at any moment Percy would just smile and say "gotcha." But I doubted that. Even though it was unbelievable he liked me back in the first place. It just wasn't him to do something that cruel.

I returned to the bedroom and Percy was just laying there with his eyes closed. I sat on the edge of the bed, my weight caused him to open his eyes and look at me. "Are you ready to read now?" I asked, even though I knew what he was going to do. He groaned, "I guess. Why are you making me do all this work? I don't have to read every day."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really, so when do you read the book for class?"

"I listen the day before." I rolled my eyes, "Really? You would get more done if you do a chapter a day. And, you won't get tired and zone out so you will listen to it and understand it." He cocked his head slightly to the side, "you're smart." I sighed, "Get your phone and your book." I got my book out.

I sat on the bed at the bottom and started where I left off. Percy sighed and got his stuff out. After he was done with the chapter, I made him wait until I was done. He played with his pen. I would watch him as he swung the pen around like a sword. He was one weird person. It was a bit distracting through. I got done and we moved on to mythology homework. We had to study Achilles for a test Tuesday.
