Pernico One-Shots

9(Our lock)

Percy was extremely perplexed. Just thinking that word made him even more confused. The reason he was so confused was that he was on a plane on his way to Paris, France.

Yes, Paris. The city of love. City of lights. City of romance.

"Why are we in Paris?"
"Don't worry,  this is just a stop."

Now, Percy may have forgotten to mention that they were on a plane owned by Nico's father, Hades and flown by Amelia Earhart.

"How the- why are we stopping in Paris, where are we even going? Why do you have a private jet?!"

As you can tell, Percy was a bit overwhelmed. His questions were fired rapidly, frenzied and confused. His questions were only answered with a look.

It was a look that Percy was used to. It meant, 'ask another question and see what happens' and he did not want to see what would happen.

They finally landed in Paris on a small strip of land reserved for private jets.
They entered a sleek black car and were greeted by Jon~Luis, Nico's undead chauffeur. They drove for a while until they came to a lock store next to a huge mishappen bridge.

Percy found this odd because it was literally just a lock store. That's all they sold. No antiques. No artifacts. Just locks. Now don't get me wrong, the locks were,we'll say interesting.

They had locks of many sizes. And shapes and colors. Nico walked into the lock store like he belonged. He told Percy to choose a lock. He said that it could be any lock, just so long as Percy liked it.

Percy chose a pitch black lock, that looked as though it almost had sea green swirls in it. Percy could swear he saw Nico's eyes sparkle when he saw it.

They paid for the lock, and Nico took Percy's hand. Percy was quite used to the ghostly way of travel so it didn't bother him as much when they slipped into the darkness.

He was surprised, however when they reappeared on the mishappen bridge. He then realized that the bridge's shape was because of the many, many, many locks that were attached to the it.

After seeing the bridge, Percy was fed up with all the secrets.

"Why are we here?"

Nico looked at him and sighed.
"We're here to put this lock on this bridge. It symbolizes that our love will last forever."

"Oh"

Nico smirked as Percy pulled him into a passionate kiss.

"Thank you."Percy whispered, as they pulled away from the the kiss.

"Anything for you."

They held hands as they put their lock  on the bridge. They each kissed the key and threw it in the river under the bridge.

They were back on the plane when Percy asked the question that had been in his mind for a while.

"Where are we going now?"

"Home. Also known as Venus, Italy."
