Lemonade: A Percy X Nico Fanfic

Part 2

A/N: Back at it again. I plan to make the chapters all the same length unless you guys say otherwise. Anyways, back to the story.

3rd Person POV

Percy knocked at the door. In the couple of tension filled seconds before the door opened, he had time to rethink his actions.

~Oh crap what am I doing? What if he doesn't want to go? I'll look like a total idiot! But we won't be alone so I guess it wouldn't be a date. Gods, I would love to be alone with him. We could totall-

The door opened. Percy tried his best to keep a straight face as he laid eyes on the magnificent ghost king.

Nico's hair was messy, like he had just woken up. He was wearing all black, no real surprise there, but he had on pajama pants and looked disoriented. He was taller these days, so he was no longer at Percy's shoulders. They were nearly eye level with each other.

Nico's eyes were squinted when he opened the door, but when he saw Percy his eyes widened.

"Percy? Wh- what are you doing here this early?" Nico sorta flustered.

"Um...Nico? Its noon." Percy chuckled.

"Oh. Damn. I must've missed the alarm again." Nico responded.

"And breakfast. But that's okay because..." Percy swung his backpack off his shoulder and set it on the ground. He opened it up and showed Nico the chips and such. "I've got snacks. I was heading to the beach to eat them with some friends. Wanna come?"

"Who will be there?" Nico asked. "At the beach, I mean."

Percy stood up. "Jason, Piper, Leo, Travis, and Katie."

Nico raised an eyebrow. "No Annabeth?"

"Oh um..." Percy started fidgeting with the backpack straps. "I guess you really don't know."

"Know what?"

"We broke up."

Nico's jaw dropped. "W-what? Why would you do that?" He looked like he was trying not to smile.

"Well...several reasons. I'm just glad no rumors have started."

"Why would there be rumors?"

Percy felt kinda weird getting grilled for answers by Nico like this. He liked the attention a little more than he should have.

"Uh, no reason. So are you coming or not?" Percy asked.

Nico didn't really think about it long.
"Give me a sec." He said as he closed the door.

Percy nearly squealed like a little girl. He got Nico to come! Although, he had to wonder why Nico had that expression on his face when Percy told him about the breakup. Almost like he was...happy about it.

~No way.

Nico opened the door wearing his aviator jacket that somehow still fit him and skinny jeans.

~He makes everything look hot.

"Alright. Let's go, I guess." Nico said as he started walking. He still seemed a little tired, like he didn't get enough sleep last night.

~I wonder if he went out somewhere. Where did he go? Was he with someone? He is so forgetful these days. Maybe I'm reading too much into this kid. Relax, Percy.

The walk down to the beach was a pleasant one. They got a good glimpse of everything in the camp. The hill, the fields, the woods, and finally the lake.

Percy kinda wished they'd never stop walking. Nico was looking at the sky or the ground most of that time so he never really saw Percy staring at him. It was like everytime Percy saw Nico was a new experience. Nico had always had that effect on him. That's why Percy was so confused.

They reached the beach just as they heard someone yell....
