Percy blindly stumbles out of the shadows and falls head first into one of the tables in the dining pavilion. As he struggles back to his feet, while cursing in Greek under his breath and rubbing his head, Percy becomes aware of the piercing eyes of the campers trained on him. In front of him, sitting on the table that Percy crashed into thanks to Nico, his friends wear goofy grins on their faces as they try to hide their laughter at his clumsiness.

"I'm gonna kill that little son of Hades. Το λίγο σκατά." Percy grumbles running a hand over his face and turning to leave the dining pavilion. (Translation: The little shit)

A hesitant hand grabs onto Percy's arm pulling him back as the owner says, "That's two times you've called me little Jackson and it's not appreciated."

Percy spins round at the voice and couldn't help but smirk slightly at the death glare Nico is giving him. "But it's the truth Death Breath you only reach just above my chin."

Nico's face blushes a light pink and his head ducks slightly. They both then realises Nico's arm that is still holding tightly onto Percy's forearm, and once realising Nico quickly lets go dropping his arm back to his side, his face now even redder.

"Uhhh...Where are you going Perce? " the pale boy asks looking up slightly at the green eyed boy.

Percy grins at hearing Nico using his nickname but it falters slightly when he remembers why he was running away.

"I'm going back to my cabin Nico, I told you I couldn't handle coming here but you brought me here anyway." Percy says with annoyance, even though he didn't really want to be mean to the adorable boy in front of him. Wait when did I say he was adorable, Percy wonders.

"No. I brought you here so you can get over it Percy and that is not going to happen if you are moping in your cabin." Nico growls no longer flustered by the sea eyed boy.

"I'm going back." Percy argues turning away from the son of Hades and starting his journey out of the pavilion.

Nico only sighs before jumping into the shadows behind him and jumping back out in front of Percy. Before Percy can even react to the younger boy jumping out in front of him Nico has the tip of his black Stygian sword against his neck. Everyone in the pavilion goes silent their attention now on the two demigods in the middle of the tables.

"Sit down Jackson." Nico growls threateningly his scowl returning to his face.

Percy gulps slowly before glancing down at the younger demigod and smirking. "No."

"Sit down Jackson. Now." Nico growls again pushing the tip of his sword slightly harder against Percy's throat.

Percy smirks again but before he answer back with a sassy remark a loud booming voice interrupts him.

"Di Angelo enough lower the sword now!" Chiron shouts from the head table, only just noticing the exchange between the two boys.

Nico hesitates for a second before pressing further into Percy's neck while the older demigod still has the nerve to smirk at him.

"I said now Nico" Chiron booms stamping a hoof.

With a scowl the son of Hades reluctantly sheaths his sword and steps back from the son of Poseidon who just smirks and winks in his direction.
