Waiting (a pernico fic)

Chapter 13

Holy fuck triple update I am on fucking fire

Percy's POV

-6 weeks after Will-

The son of Poseidon paced restlessly as Chiron worked on unlocking the door that led to where he was keeping Solace, locked for Nico's protection.
Nico didn't know he was in a cell, just that he was in the Big House, and he certainly didn't know Percy was going to be talking to him.
At the moment, Percy tried not to care. Solace had to know what he'd done to his angel. Percy had never seen Nico this bad. Ever. He wouldn't leave the cabin without Percy, except to get food, but that was only if Percy was right next to him. He looked paranoid constantly and the nightmares are worse than the worst they had ever been. It hurt seeing him like this. Especially since Percy was supposed to be making sure he never hurt again.

Finally the door opened and Percy was escorted down by two Ares boys. At first, Percy couldn't believe they'd put Will in such high security, then he realized he was a child of the Big Three and it was probably his father's doing. Either way, he was glad Will was as far away from Nico as he possibly could be.
They reached the room where Will's cell was and the Ares boys waited outside. Will looked up from the other side of the bars and his brows furrowed seeing Percy. "Hey, Percy," the blonde croaked. Percy's eyes narrowed. "Don't 'hey' me." Will sighed heavily. "Look, I'm sorry. I lost my head and did some seriously messed up shit. It's just..." Percy was fuming, but he knew Will was going to talk regardless. The sooner he was done, the better. "Just what? Spit it out, Solace."
Will met Percy's eyes again, glaring slightly. "It's just... I'm fucking jealous, okay?" Percy's eyes widened, then narrowed. He'd had a feeling this was why. "I'm really goddamned jealous. If I had had the balls to admit how I felt about Nico right after that last battle like I wanted to, it'd be me with him. At least I had hoped it would be. But I see him with you and it pisses me off. I wanted that." Will settled back, head in one of his hands. Percy, without missing a beat, got as close as the bars allowed and glared at him. He very much wanted to drown the Apollo boy with his own tears, literally, but he knew he couldn't. Instead, he launched into a verbal assault.
"I don't care." Will's eyes met his and he glared back as Percy continued. "I have loved that boy since I was twelve years old. And from what Jason told me, Nico has felt the same. Hell, even Nico told me that much. And you think you can come in and break up something he's always wanted because you have a crush? You wouldn't be able to. Not that I'd even let that happen if you could. Besides, he's terrified of you." Percy saw Will freeze at that and smiled internally. "What?" That made him beam sadistically when he heard how broken Will had sounded. He should be broken after what he did. "Yeah. That stunt you pulled is called attempted rape. As if his PTSD wasn't bad enough, now he has to deal with that image. You know, he almost cried when someone from your cabin touched him because they looked like you. His nightmares about Tartarus now feature you and I've never seen him so scared. He hates going to the infirmary because that's where you did it. You royally fucked up and I swear that this," Percy gestured to the bars, "Is Elysium compared to what Nico's father is going to do to you once you die." Will paled considerably and with that, Percy turned on his heel and left.

AN: THATS RIGHT WILL YOU FUCKING THINK ABOUT THAT
YOU HURT MY SMOL BEAN YOU SUFFER
sorry. I think I'm just such a hardcore Pernico shipper, that's why I'm so animalistic to Will. Please forgive me, lovelies.
