Nico di Angelo x Leo/Percy one shots

Leico- I can't be without you

Nico's P.O.V

I wake up again in my cabin and sigh. I can't be bothered sleeping anymore and sigh. I try to be strong as always since that day. I open the curtains and sigh. I walk into my bathroom and get ready as usual. I walk to the Dining Pavillion and sit down with Hazel as usual. I see Leo and I try to ignore the feeling building. I put on the facade as always. Be strong Nico, he's just a boy. I feel stuck, this always happens and I'm sick of it. I am fine without him, I can survive without Leo. I begin talking to Hazel about the girls and how Reyna is. I smile and begin laughing and I see the rest of the seven sitting down, including Leo. Leo is joking about something and we all begin talking. I begin to think about practice and I sigh and begin talking to Jason. "Yeah, about that...Leo kinda wanted to watch to see something for his machines" Jason says and I shrug. Normally I would begin to cry over his name but now I'm fine. "Yeah sure, Leo can come with us" I say and smile. I think I'm alright, I should be over him by now. We both made a mistake and decided to break up because he insisted he was straight and I accepted it, I used to be afraid but now...I'm happy. I'm over Leo, he can do whatever he wants, we're still friends. I keep thinking I find peace. I walk and my hand brushes against Leo's. I silently curse at myself. We walk and our hands touch which is my fault. What is wrong with me? My heart begins to beat. I can't do this again! I should be over Leo, why am I feeling this way? I can't date anyone new and look at Leo who is sat drawing. My heart skips a beat and I begin to get scared again. I should be over him, My walls begin to crumble like last time. I can't do this if this is what it's like without him. 

Leo's P.O.V

I made a mistake, I am stupid...leaving Nico like that because of my insecurities, I probably made his worse! I usually don't even think about it, but as soon as I see him or get close, my heart comes to life like a faulty machine. I did everything I can, like right now to be near him. My hands keep reaching for him and I can't be alone. Nico begins fighting and training and I watch in amazement. I don't want to be without him, my walls need to break and leave for good. I watch as Nico sits next to me for a break. His hand gently touches mine as he grabs his water bottle and drops his sword. He sits back. My heart beats and I sigh and look at him, he's slightly blushing. I am an idiot. "How is team Leo?" Nico asks and I sigh and my heart breaks all over again. "Currently finding a new main recruit, preferably a male...since my head kinda was being stupid when we last talked" I say and Nico nods, not caring. I sigh and he puts down his water bottle. "You're an asshole Valdez" Nico says and I nod in agreement. I can tell he is trying to keep his walls up. "I'm sorry" I say and Nico shakes his head, I can tell he hates me. I feel something grab my hand and see Nico is holding my hand, his walls crumbling along with mine. I smile and he sighs. I can tell he's scared that I'll make the same mistake I did before. "Trust me...I love you" I say and Nico smiles faintly and nods a little and holds my hand tighter. I sigh. "May I have a second chance?" I ask and Nico rolls his eyes, his smile getting wider. I smile and see the blush on Nico's cheeks. "You shall" Nico says and I chuckle and we sit there, hand in hand.
