Percico 2: A longing lover

Chapter 5

Nico's POV

When I woke from my dreamless sleep, I was actually next to Percy, safe, and unharmed. I sighed and went to check the time. 10:26 am. Oh no. I shook Percy awake.

"Get your ass up. Its 10:30 and we are missing breakfast."

"I dun wanna movvveee..." he whined.

"Your missing out on blue pancakes."

That got his attention. He shot up, pushing me off the bed, and got dressed. I sat on the ground rubbing my head.

"Ow. My mistake."

"Omg I'm so sorry babe."

"Nah its ok."

He helped me up, and took off my shirt suddenly. My face went bright red even though we were together.

"Wh-what are you d-doing?" oh nice, I was stuttering too.

"Calm down Nico. I'm just switching the bandages."

I was really self conscious over people seeing me... exposed. He finished up and got a new shirt for me. He kept some of my clothes here in case I spent the night and needed something better to wear. We walked out to the pavilion and almost all the food was gone.

"Great. We're late and I'm hungry."

"YES!" Percy was so happy. There was one blue pancake left. "MINE!"

He ran up to it just as someone grabbed it. (it was just some random camper, no one important) I could hear Percy screaming at the poor guy.

"THAT IS MY PANCAKE! I CALLED IT! GIVE IT TO ME!" There was a mix of anger and plead in his voice.

The guy put the pancake back and ran off with the rest of his food.

"Hon. You could've been... nicer."

"Mhaf?" He had the pancake shoved in his mouth.

"You scared him."

"So? When there is only one pancake left and I'm hungry, no one steps in my way."

I laughed and we sat down to eat.

*TIIIIIIMMMEEE SKKKIIIPPPP*

We walked into the training arena and saw Chiron pairing people up to fight. I forgot there was deuling today.

"LEO VALDEZ AND JASON GRACE!" His voice boomed. "AND NO USING FIRE, LIGHTNING, WIND, OR FLIGHT."

I heard Leo whine as he walked up. Jason came after him. They fought and Leo suddenly tripped Jason, and then held the sword at his throat. Leo actually won. That scrawny little boy won. Even with his small frame, funny and optimistic personality and his cinnamon curls and shinning eyes and.... what.
What?
No.
I'm dating Percy.
I did not just think that.
Nope.

"Nico?"

I yelled and jumped up.

"Calm down! You ok? You zoned out."

I couldn't let Percy find out about... that.

"Yeah sorry. Just shocked Leo won."

"Haha same."

Percy's POV

After Leo held the tip of the sword to Jason's throat, I looked over at Nico. He was staring right at Leo. His mouth was open from shock but his eyes were filled with something odd. I didn't like it.

"Nico?"

He instantly jumped up and yelled. Everyone stared.

"Calm down! You ok? You zoned out."

"Yeah sorry. Just shocked Leo won." but I could tell there was something more than shock. Something I couldn't place my finger on just yet.

"Haha same."

*time skip to that night*

Nico was sleeping in his own cabin tonight. I didn't want him to go but I did need to think.

After two hours I figured it out.
Want.

#CLIFFHANGER
WOOO HEHEHEHE
Leo didn't get much attention last book so I couldn't help it but put him here. I'm actually thinking to make Jason like Percy. But you won't like that.
I STILL HAVE THE IDEA FOR THE END OF THE BOOK THOUGH! UNLESS YOU GUYS COME UP WITH A BETTER ENDING. (not telling u mine)
BYEE
