Falling Down (Percy Jackson)

Chapter Three

Leo

"Why we're at his house?" Jason questioned Nico's reason for being at Percy's place yesterday.

"It's none of your business, Jason," Nico insisted, being nice about it, "I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone about it. I'm not breaking that promise. Dream all you want about it. My mouth stays shut."

"You guys aren't dating, are you?" He doesn't know we heard that conversation. So it was random to him that that came to me. But being bi, I had an excuse.

"I... No?" Nico responded, slightly confused but also stern about it, "we're not dating, it wasn't anything like that. I was there as a friend."

"Are you sure?' Jason questioned, "I mean, now that him and Annabeth aren't a thing anymore, I wouldn't blame you."

"Jason!" Nico yelled at him, slapping the son of Jupiter's arm, "one, no. Two, I'm not one to hop on to someone right after they have a break up. I'm an asshole, but I'm a half way decent asshole when I want to be."

So they are dating.

We teased him about it most of the day, of course. It was fun, he didn't enjoy it.

We had to message Percy about it. Asking him how good Nico was in bed. He'd have to know by now.

Leo: Hey, Percy. Legit question for you.

Percy: what?

Leo: Is Nico good in bed?

Percy: LEO VALDEZ

Percy: WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT

Percy: HOW WOULD I K N O W ?

Leo: Aren't you guys dating?

Leo: That's why he was there yesterday

Percy: ...

Percy: Leo, he's straight.

Percy: That's not why he was visiting. I don't actually know why he came by, but he did and hung out for a few hours. Nothing happened.

Leo: Mhm. If you say so honey. He's about as straight as a fucking circle.

Percy: What are you talking about???

Leo: Oh come on, don't act like you don't know Nico's gay.

Percy: He's not tho?

Leo: Yes. He is. We heard him say it. Regardless if he knows we know, he probably does, but it's not important. He's gay. That's my point.

Percy: Okay?

Leo: So you guys are a thing.

Percy: No?

Leo: You don't sound very sure of yourself.

Percy: we're not dating, Leo. Im just confused because I didn't know he was gay, and I really don't know how that would have anything to do with me because until yesterday I had a girlfriend and I thought he hated me.

Leo: So what happened yesterday?

Percy: Nothing sexual or romantic. Aside that, it's none of your business, okay?

Leo: Okay, okay, fine. I'll back off.

Nico

I had been texting Percy when he suddenly asked me if he could ask me something.
