I Can't Anymore... And You Know It

Chapter 15

Nico

I stared at the back of Percy's head and turned to face Leo who was laughing like a goof and trying to stick his head out of the window. Mr Stark sitting in the drivers seat as some dude called Happy (yeah I know) drove. Peter was calling his Aunt and explaining the situation to her. 

"It's fine! It'll only be for-" he pressed his hand over his phone, "um Mr Stark? How long will we be at your house for?" 

"Three months, but Percy, as year," he explained.

"R-Right, um... you still there May? Yeah- he-he said three months-" Peter held the phone away from his ear as his Aunt started to scream on the other end. I cringed, I could even hear her voice from that end. He held it back to his ear and I closed my eyes. "okay, okay. Every weekend, I know. Okay Love You! By-bye!" he smiled and put his phone away. 

I'm pretty sure that Percy and Leo were just as scared as I was when Peter had his phone out. Our breaths held in our throats until he ended the call. I crossed my arms, tightly around my chest and turned my head. I rested it against the window letting the vibrations calm me. 

Breathing in deeply, I held my hand out and grabbed Leo's shirt. He slipped and almost fell out, I pulled him and in one second had a seat belt tucked into him. "Huh?" Leo looked at the belt and then back at me, sitting in my regular seat. He stared at me with wide eyes before saying, "That was some weird anime shist, wasn't it?" Peter ended up laughing.

"You watch anime?" he asked. And for once, he was stuttering.

"HOLY YES!!! It's the best, I've only watched a few like, Yuri On Ice... Free Swimming, Haikuu-"

"So the super gay ones?" Peter teased. Leo blushed, and that got Percy interested.

"W-Well my first anime was Ouran High Sh-"

"School Host Club?" I asked. everyone turned to look at me. I shrugged, "I'm more of a Fullmetal Alchemist and Yu-Gi-Oh person myself. But, with that said, Ouran High school Host Club was a classic." I complimented.

Leo was the first to get over his shock, "yeah actually. I didn't really like Fullmetal Alchemist, but I have watched Attack On Titan.. OH MY GOD! Please tell me, you've both seen Death N-"

"DEATH NOTE!" Percy jumped up excited, making the car bounce a little. "Holy, it's soooo god. Heard that they were making a Netflix live-action version?"

"It's true." Peter and I said together. He blushed but nodded, "I'm not particularly sure I'd like it. But... Nat Wolf is playing in it and I... enjoy his work as an actor." 

"Oooooh does Nico have a celebrity crush?" Leo sang. I blushed and punched him in the arm.

"What's it matter to you!?" I shouted.

"SHUT UP! You do???" Leo laughed.

"Fuck off, I do no-"

"Sweethearts, could you stop with your gay romance for a minute, we're at the house." Tony called over his back. I turned to Leo and gave him another punch in his skinny arm and got out of the car. 

Cringing, I held my hand against the sun rays, "why Apollo? Why?" I shielded my face as m ich as I could until someone came and stood in the way of the sun. "Percy?" I looked up and sure enough, it was him. 

"Come on you weird, vampire, you." He laughed and pulled me along, he didn't let go of my arm. I looked at our hands, clasped together and tugged my hand off his. "What? Don't want to hold my hand?" he laughed and shook his head before running to the door and ringing the bell.

I smirked and rolled my eyes, walking back as Leo and Peter both ran excitedly with Percy. Tony caught up with me and we both walked in sync. "So, Nico?"

"What?" I questioned.

"Oh nothing, just wanted to get to know the newest recruit to the weird family we have here in the Avenger Malibu house. He smirked when he saw me rolling my eyes.

"No offence to you... and your weird, slightly, dysfunctional family? But I don't do well with families. I'm here purely because of Percy. I'm not his baby sitter if that's what your saying-" Tony shut his mouth, "he's perfectly capable of killing you guys in three seconds. I'm here to make sure he doesn't. No family. Get it? Got it. Good." We made our way to the door and Tony scanned his hand before it opened.

We all stepped inside, "Welcome to the Avenger house, for three months."
