Percy shook with relief. He didn't even think about it, he threw his arms around the skinnier boy, hugging him to his chest.

"Thank the gods, thank the fucking gods," Percy muttered.

"Hey," Nico coughed weakly. "What'd I miss?"

"Sorry, sorry sorry sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that, I thought it would be funny, sorry sorry," Percy was still gripping him tightly.

"P-Perce," cough, "what are you," cough, "talking about?" Nico eyed him curiously.

"I-I called the shark over to brush against you, he was friendly I swear, I thought you'd be ok, I didn't mean to-" Percy was cut off by Nico laughing.

"Percy, that was hilarious." He told the son of Poseidon.

"R-Really? You're okay?" Percy was scared he would be angry, but he was even more terrified that the boy wouldn't regain the ability to breathe.

"I'm fine."

"You're not mad right? Cause really, I didn't mean-"

"I'm not mad Perce."

"Thank the gods," Percy finally released him, blushing at the fact he had held him for much too long.

"Well that was an interesting date, wasn't it?" Nico grinned at Percy.

"Yeah, but one thing was missing..." Percy pulled a pen out of his pocket. It was good Nico knew him well, and he knew that was Riptide, not just a pen but a sharp sword of celestial bronze.

Nico grabbed his own blade of black Stygian iron as Percy clicked his pen into a sword.

Nico lunged at the other boy but Percy just blocked him, returning a lunge of his own. Nico blocked in return. The fight continued like this until Percy finally lost his grip on his sword due to Nico.

"Nice," Percy gritted, still trying to dodge Nico's blade. He kicked out his foot and managed to kick the sword out of his hand. Nico stared in shock, not paying attention as Percy launched himself at him.

The boys landed in the sand, laughing. They rolled, play fighting. Nico ended up on top of Percy and somehow in the fake throwing of fists and kicks, Nico's face was directly by Percy's.

Nico managed to accidentally brush his lips against Percy's in the jumble of trying to get up. Both demigods immediately froze at the contact.

"I-I-"

"D-didn't m-mean to-"

"S-Sor-"

"Sorr-ry-"

"No I'm-"

"No, I apo-"

"Okay." Percy cut Nico off a final time. "Um."

"Well I think now would be a good time to tell you I'm in love with you," Nico sighed, leaning his head on Percy's chest. Percy stiffened.

"You-you-" Percy jolted up, pulling the younger boy with him. He shoved his lips onto Nico's hungrily. Nico was surprised but pleased.

"I love you too," Percy whispered afterwards. Sparks tingled in their bodies.

"Um, so-"

"Would you like to be my boyfriend Nico?" Percy smiled.

Nico jolted away in shock and then fist pumped the air. "Yes!" He said a little to eagerly. "I-I mean," he cleared his throat. "Uh, yeah sure."

Percy laughed, grabbing Nico by the waist. Nico felt his cheeks heat, but he was too giddy to care.
