Waiting (a pernico fic)

Chapter 14

Holy fucking shit this is just flowing out of me I don't know how to make it stop

Nico's POV

"Where were you?" Nico asked as Percy walked into the cabin, looking conflicted. He stops for several seconds and he can tell Percy's deciding if he should answer the question. Finally he sighed and admitted, "I went to see Solace."
Nico barely repressed a flinch at his name. "Why?"
"To teach him to darn socks. Why do you think? He hurt you." All at once, Nico was up from the bunk and in Percy's face. "I specifically told you that I didn't want you around him!" He was near crying at the thought of what Will could've done to him and angry that Percy hadn't told him he was going. "He's in a cell, what's he going to do?" Percy asked, seeing the fear in Nico's eyes. What? He's... Locked up? For some reason this made Nico relax immensely. He wasn't coming after him. "Oh." Percy saw this and smiled. "Well, what did he say?" Nico asked after swallowing. Percy's smile disappeared. "Well, he tried to apologise. So I told him you'd never forgive him. But you wanna know his reason for doing this?"
"He was horny?" Nico deadpanned and Percy shook his head. "He said he had feelings for you." Nico paled as his eyes widened. He what?
"Since when?" Nico breathed, not processing this one bit. "The end of the war with G-" Immediately, Nico slapped a hand over Percy's mouth, looking around. "I'm aware of who you mean, don't say her name." Percy nodded and Nico pulled his hand back. "What did you have to say about that?"
Percy straightened up, proudly. "I told him I'd loved you since I was twelve and that you felt the same." Nico blushed hard. "And?"
"He didn't say anything but I said that he'd never break us up. Then I left."
At that, Nico finally relaxed fully. Percy felt exactly the same as he did. This and the knowledge that he was safe gave him enough comfort to kiss his boyfriend for the first time in two months.
This surprised Percy but he kissed back, careful not to push too far and that alone made Nico happy. He sighed against Percy's lips and wrapped his arms around him, after putting Percy's own hands on Nico's waist. Percy held him and they stayed that way for a while, Nico feeling as safe as he ever had in Percy's arms.

AN: MY SMOL BEAN FEELS BETTER YAY
Anyway guys it's getting better and I'm sooooooo happy my Smol Bean feels safe (I'm glad I decided to lock Will up, that was just for me, but that plot point helped my bean so yay) and fluff after all that angst is so refreshing.
Anyway, if you can vote or comment or whatever, I'd love it so much. My little gay heart can barely handle this story so yeah.
