Chapter 12
Nico woke up, the sunlight brushing across his face gently, reminding him of his mother's touch when she would wake him up in the mornings for breakfast. Shifting slightly, his still sleeping mind noticed the bed was really warm and soft.... And it also felt like it was... 'Breathing?' The spell of sleep shattered from his mind, his face turning pure red as he realized what he was sleeping on as he opened his eyes. Percy was still sleeping under him, his strong tan arms holding Nico's waste close to him, and Nico's head was laying on Percy's chest like her was a pillow. His even breath, if he was not already fully awake, would have sent Nico back into his blissful sleep as his chest moved up and down gently and ever so slightly.....
A smile played on his sickly pail lips, still swollen from kissing the stronger boy. "So it wasn't a dream..." He whispered to himself. 'Or was it?' He noticed his cloths were still on his body, as well as the room being different. It wasn't the two mortal's secret layer above the dance floor anymore, but a simple hotel room with powder blue and ashen grey wallpaper and color scheme. The carpet was a nice shade of black, and everything was just circling the colors grey, black, and blue. It was weird how well blue and grey worked perfectly together, and yet.... As Nico tried to get up from his laying position, his lower back screamed in strained agony and Nico fell back into Percy's arms, making sure not to land on his chest so he didn't wake him up. "Ok, definitely wan't a dream."
Slowly, so his back would not protests badly as it did with his first attempt, he slid out of bed, and made his way slowly to the window and looked out at the world before him. The view was amazing to say the least, high above the small buildings where the city was laid out before them. The sun beat down on the already awake world bellow as the mortal's daily routines were in full swing, their loudness muffled by the glass. Nico's smile faltered slightly, as reality hit him square in the chest, like a dagger through his heart.
He was now in a relationship that would be very problematic and end in one of them dying horribly... by the other's hands. With the prophecy hanging over their heads like a death threat from Hades himself, not even trying to hide from them. One of them was going to join Kronos in his war against the gods when one of them turned 16. Thalia, the daughter of Zeus, was already out of the prophecy by taking up the Hunt with Artemis, so she will never age. But, deep down in his heart, Nico wished to no end that it was her that the prophesy spoke of, not him.... And certainly not Percy.
But, what was worse and closer to the given present, was that as soon as Jason and Leo found him, he would have to say goodbye again. He had a mission, a quest to look for an answer that might help them destroy Kronos again, while saving Luke from his possession. And even though Percy was important to him, finding this answer was more important for the world... and hopefully for them in the future. That, and Jason was going to kill him if he backed out, which would limit his search to the underworld. That would honestly be something he would rather be able to come back from. Just so he could see Percy again.
Nico sighed deeply before going over to the bed, slowly leaning down and kissing Percy gently on the lips as a good bye, hoping he would understand when he woke up. But, to his surprise, he felt something pull him closer and pin him to the bed in seconds. Percy smiled, his whole body seeming to glow with that loving shine, or it was the sweat crystals that had formed on his skin and they were reflecting the sunlight like his eyes were.... giving them so much depth...
"Good morning, love." Percy's good morning kiss brought Nico back from drowning in his eyes, his lips still so soft against Nico's, it was intoxicating. "How you feeling?"
Nico gave him a cocky, sarcastic half smile. "You pain in my ass." Percy laughed, and it was like he Siren's song to Nico. 'Gods, why couldn't his laugh be a turn off?'
"I presume you mean literally, Nico?" Percy nipped his boyfriend's neck, right ere he knew was a weak spot. Nico moaned lightly, making Percy feel that wonderful feeling he had been void of for those few months. "I love you, Nico de Angelo."
Nico gave a sigh and laced his hands in Percy's hair. "You know this won't last...."
Percy sighed, giving a small knowing smile. "I don't care, i want this to last. Even if i have to hold up the world on my shoulders again or fight off the whole Titan army by myself, I will find a way for this to last. I promise." Nico smiled, letting go of any doubt he had in Percy's words, and let his mind go blank as Percy started leaving a trail of butterfly kisses up his neck and over his cheek*
The two lover boys' thoughts were shattered when they heard a knocking at the door, Grover's voice on the other side of the locked door. " You sure this is the room?"
"Dude, I personally had to lug their butts up here. You think I would be stupid enough to mix up the rooms? What do you think I am, an idiot?" Nico recognized the second voice almost instantly, even though he had only heard it once. It was that guy, Trevor, the one with the 12 arms that took Luna and Alex's shift. 'He was probably being forced to help them find the two of us.' Nico thought.
"No, man. I just was makin' sure." Grover knocked on the door hard, he echo making an annoying ringing sound. "Yo, Percy! You ion there?"
Percy groaned. "Grover..." As he stared to get up, he felt Nico's hands move and untangle from his hair. Looking down, he saw a look he would be willing to forget if he could. The same look that stared back at him, haunted him even, for the last month whenever he looked in a mirror. It was that small plea that had stuck with him since he left the camp. Leaning back down, he kissed him gently to try and sooth out the sadness in that amazing face. "You are not alone anymore, Nico.... I'm right here." He smiled a big tender teddy bear smile and whispered in Nico's ear. "I will always be here for you."
As Nico's face lit up in a big smile that was as blinding as the sun, they hear the door open and both their heads whipped around to see an astonished Grover, a confused Tyson, a gawking Leo, and a emotionless Jason. Behind them, and you could barely tell he was there, Trevor had a small smile on his still bored looking face. Turning around and leaving, and to everyone's surprise, he shouted over his shoulder. "Called it!"
Leo was the first to snap out of his shocked daze, grinning ear to ear. "Dude, next time, put a 'Do not Disturb' sign out." Jason, glared a Percy for a moment, and then growled.
" Ok, wrap it up. It's time to go."
