Nico:

When the door first opened, things hadn't gone exactly as I thought they would. A dark haired guy with sea green eyes opened the door.

"Who are you?" If his tone wasn't so rude, my first thought probably would've been that he's handsome. He looked at me suspiciously with his eyebrows furrowed. Before I could even reply he yelled into the apartment, "Hey! There's some weird creepy looking kid here!" Maybe I went to the wrong apartment.

Right as I was about to walk away Leo and Jason appeared next to the dark haired guy. "That's Nico, you cabron!!" Leo pinched the bridge of his nose. Jason smacked the back of the guy's head.

"Ow! How was I supposed to know?! You guys never told me what he looked like!" The guy said gesturing with his arms wildly.

"Yes we did! You were too busy making heart eyes at Frank to actually pay attention to what we were saying!" Jason said to the guy. He sounded irritated. Ugh. Why do I have the feeling this is gonna be awkward. The guy blushed.

They stood there still arguing for a minute. I just stood there and watched with my lips pursed. Then they pulled me inside and I made this weird surprised squeaking noise, that I'm not proud of.

"Percy, you should at least apologize for calling him creepy!" Leo said rather loudly. Percy? Weird name. Then Percy frowned at them and crossed his arms. He kinda reminded me of a little kid to be honest. I laughed. They looked at me, each of them with the same expression: frowning with one eyebrow raised. That of course only made me laugh more.

Then Percy pointed at me and said, "Why should I apologize for stating the truth?" Jason and Leo both glared at him. Weird. I kinda liked it though. It seemed almost... protective in a way.

"Percy." Jason said sternly (he could be really intimidating if he wanted to), "Apologize." Percy sighed then turned to me.

"Sorry for calling you creepy and weird." He sighed again and turned to Jason, "Happy?"

"I wasn't very offended by you calling me weird. I am weird. Creepy... not so much." I said still laughing a bit. He looked at me strangely for a bit before smiling at me. Then he held out his hand to me, "I'm Percy. Nice to meet you." I shook his hand. "Nico. Nice to meet you too." We walked over to the living room and there was a really tall asian guy there. Judging by the way Percy looked at him, I assumed he was Frank.

He walked over to me and smiled kindly. "Hi, I'm Frank. Sorry for Percy's behavior. He's really nice once you get to know him, he just doesn't really think before he speaks." He shook my hand and Percy didn't deny anything. Mostly because he was staring at the wall with his eyebrows furrowed and a confused look on his face.

"What did you say, Frank?" He asked. Frank gave me a look that said 'Are you seeing this?' Then shook his head.

"I'm Nico. He didn't bother me." Frank seems really nice.

"Ok, I think we should give you guys sometime to talk and stuff, so me and Jason are gonna go get food." Leo said pointing to the door.

"Ok." The three of us said at the same time.
