I Need Your Love (BoyxBoy) Rewriting

Chapter 1

The war was finally over, the Argo and it's crew finally were able to relax and be happy. Well most were happy, Leo was on the look for his Calypso and let's say Percy wasn't having the easiest time back either. Annabeth had left Percy, he didn't know why but she did. Percy was slowly spiraling into the depths of depression and Nico noticed this. Nico oh so wanted to reach out and help Percy but Percy was pushing everyone away.

It broke Nico fragile heart to the the boy he loved like this, Nico hid in his cabin saddened, he wanted to help Percy so bad to hold him and tell the truth but the truth scared Nico it scared him very much. If he told Percy what would his reaction be? Disgust? Or would he return the feelings? Doubtfull. Soon enough a dark aura surrounded Nico as negativity, self-hate and depression rolled off Nico in waves, the cabin felt like it was getting colder and colder the more he sat and thought. His thoughts drifted to when he meet Cupid, the god of love. The worst day of his life......

*Flash back*

That face, the face of true evil the face he wish he never saw. Cupid's. (A/n: I'm using a part from Hoh in the Heroes of Olympus of course I'm changing it a bit, I give full credit to Uncle Rick. I wish I owned the Pjo and HoO series but sadly I don't :( ) "Nico," Jason called to the son of death, "What does this guy want from you?". Tell him, Nico di Angelo, Cupid said. Tell him you are a coward, afraid of yourself and your feelings. Tell him the real reason you ran from Camp Half-Blood, and why you are always alone.

Nico let out a gravelly scream. The ground at his feet split open and skeletons crawled forth-dead Romans with missing hands and caved-in skulls, cracked ribs, and jaws unhinged. Some were dressed in the remnants of Togas. Others had gleaming pieces of armor hanging off their chests. Will you hide among the dead, and you always do? Cupid taunted. Nico had waves and waves of hatred, fear and shame roll off him. Jason was taken back by the amount of darkness that came off the son of Hades, Jason was least to say scared. Jason saw images flash through his head of Nico and his sister Bianca on a snowy cliff in Maine, where a young Percy Jackson was protecting them from a manticore. Percy's mighty sword gleamed in the dark, he'd been the first demigod Nico had ever seen in action. Later at Camp Half-Blood Percy promised to keep Bianca safe but when Percy returned from somewhere unknown to Jason Percy was explaining to Nico how Bianca had died. Nico refused to believe is and screamed at Percy calling him a liar.

Jason snapped out of the daze to see Nico's skeletons gripping something that's not there. Jason tried to defend Nico but he couldn't knowing everything he would say Cupid would backfire on him. "I-I wan't in love with Annabeth" Nico spoke his voice was like broken glass. "You were jealous of her," Jason said. "That's why you didn't want to be around her. Especially why you didn't want to be around... him. It makes total sense." The skeletons Nico had summoned crumbled to dust after Nico heard what Jason had said to him. The denial seemed to go out of Nico all at once. "I hated myself" Nico said shakily. "I hated Percy Jackson". Cupid had become visible to the two young men before him. He was a lean, muscular young man with snowy white wings, straight black hair, a simple white frock and jeans. The bow and quiver slug over his shoulder were no toys- they were weapons of war. His eyes were as red as blood, as if every Valentine in the world had been squeezed dry, distilled into one poisonous mixture. His face was handsome, but also harsh-as difficult to look at as a spotlight. Cupid watched Nico with a satisfaction, as if he'd figured the exact spot for his next arrow to make a clean kill

"I had a crush on Percy," Nico spat, the words like bile in his mouth. "That's the truth. The big secret.". He glared at Cupid. "Happy?" For the first time since Jason had meet him, Cupid's gaze seemed sympathetic. "Oh, I wouldn't say Love always makes you happy" His voice sounded smaller, much more..... human. "Sometimes it makes you incredibly sad. But at least you've faced it now. That's the only way to conquer me." Cupid spoke has he dissolved into the wind.

*End*

Nico's body shook on his bed, someone knocked on the door. When Nico didn't respond the door opened and a head of blonde popped in. "Nico I can feel your waves at the eating hall" Jason said calmly looking at the sad boy. Nico sighed and shifted slightly, Jason walked in and hugged Nico.

He held onto the smaller boy making sure he couldn't escape the hug, "Come on Jason let go" Nico demanded a pout on his face.

Jason shook his head, "Nu uh" he spoke his head held high. Nico sighed and hugged back holding in tears not wanting to look anymore foolish to Jason than he already did. "Cry if you need to Nico" Jason said rubbing Nico's head. Nico let the floodgate open and his tears poured out like small rivers, his body shook in sobs, Jason just sat there comforting his sad friend, hugging him and trying to relax the smaller boy.

After an hour or so Nico calmed down and stopped crying, but continued to sniffle softly, "T-Thank you Jason" Nico said his voice caming out hoarse and quiet.

"No problem Nico you are my friend; And friends help each other out" Jason said with a proud voice. Nico looked up at the blonde with a shocked expression, Jason just smiled at Nico, "Yes Nico you are my friend" he said with a goofy grin.

Jason had force Nico to come the eating hall and have dinner with the Argo crew, Nico sat quietly next to Jason with his Half sister Hazel next to him. "So Nico how ya doin?" Frank asked looking over at Nico. Frank had come to terms with Nico no longer finding him as creepy or weird but just shy.

"I'm fine thanks for asking" Nico spoke in a quiet voice picking at the food in front of him. Percy hadn't shown up still locking himself away and Annabeth somewhere else that no one had knowledge of. "Actually I have something to tell you all" Nico spoke up over the others. They stopped talking and turned their eyes to the son of Hades, "Umm.." He started the sudden attention making him stumble and his mind go blank. "Well I'm gay" He said quickly his Italian accent coming through.

"What?" Everyone spoke but Leo and Jason. "Oh that's cool bro" Leo spoke with a wide smile. Everyone turned to Leo, "You heard that" Piper said. Leo nodded "Yup he said he was gay, not hard to understand really." Leo said as if it was something he heard and said on a daily basis. They all turned to Nico, he shrunk a bit under their gaze, "Is it ture?" Hazel asked softly. Nico nodded slowly scared to see his friends reactions, "Fine with me" Piper said calmly and snuggled into Jason. Frank shrugged and looked to Hazel, we all waited for her to answer. "I'm fine by it you're my Brother Nico, Love who you love. Even if you love a titan I would stand by you" She spoke with a smile and hugged the boy as he relaxed and hugged back smiling softly. 'It feels go to say that' Nico thought has he had a good night with his friends. Little did they know a certain blonde had walked by and heard the news.
