Drown

Chapter 1

Hey guys! This is my first fanfiction, so sorry if it's not good, but it's fun to write I guess :p I hope you enjoy reading it^^ Also, I have a question... I don't think I can write smut, so if someone would like to write some for me.... That would be awesome :D Ofcourse I'll say in an Author's Note that I wasn't the one who wrote it, but you :) Oh, and I'll try to update once or twice every week. Not often, I know, but at soon as my school starts (september 1st) I'll have a shitload of homework and not much time. So.. Have fun reading! ( A/N will be bold... Just like this one! :D )

-Percy's POV-

Gasping for air, I tried to hold on to something. A rock, a plant, the shore, anything. The cold of the water sent chills up my spine, the current smashing me against the shore, and then pulling me away from it, pulling me under the water again. Screams and wails filled my ears, taking over my body, as if to say, 'You're ours now. Stop fighting.' I wanted to listen. Gods, how I wanted to listen. I wanted the voices to take me away, to pull me under for once and for all and never let me surface again. But I couldn't. I couldn't leave her alone, here in this hell. I couldn't leave her with the voices, not now we were finally together again. Annabeth. Her hand in mine was the only thing that kept me alive, kept me fighting. As the river violently ripped our hands apart, I heard her voice. ''Percy... Come on...'' Her hands caught mine and she pulled me closer to her, fighting to get to the shore. For one moment, her face changed into someone else's. Then she was Annabeth again. ''Percy!'' Her voice became more panicked, her callings more frequent. And, wait, what was that noise? Was somebody knocking on a door? I looked around. No doors here. I frowned. I was sure I heard someone knocking...

''PERCY!'' Three loud knocks followed the voice. ''PERCY! OPEN THAT DOOR YOU IDIOT!'' With a sigh, I got out of my bed. One look at the clock told me it was 7:00 AM. Time for breakfast. Frowning, I grabbed a orange Camp Half-Blood shirt and jeans from the ground and put them on. Usually she didn't wake me up before lunch. Not even bothering to do something about my hair (which looked like shit), I went to open the door.

''What the hell, Annabeth, it's 7 AM! Why do you wake me up this early?'' I said, before I even fully opened it. She sighed.

''Because, Seaweed Brain, Chiron wants to congratulate the camps with our victory over Geae and her minions. He wants you to be there.'' She smiled and brushed her hand through my hair, making it look less shitty. She held her hand out. ''Are you coming?'' I took her hand and we walked to the mess hall together. As we walked, my mind wandered off to faraway places. To everywhere except for where it should wander, my girlfriend Annabeth. She was my girlfriend, all right, but, to be honest, I wasn't quite feeling it anymore. I know, I shouldn't let her think everything was fine, but I hoped things would work out anyway. So I waited with telling her until I really couldn't deny it anymore.

A surprise waited for me at the mess hall. I thought I had to sit all alone at the Poseidon table, until I noticed a big, one-eyed guy sitting at the table. I started running towards him, not giving a dam that everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

''TYSON!!!'' I yelled. The big guy looked up and yelled my name. I reached the table and gave my baby brother a big brother hug. ''Haven't seen you in a while.'' I grinned and took a seat next to him.

As Tyson started talking to me, my mind wandered off again. Again it wandered to places, well, a place it shouldn't be. And that place was walking straight to my table, to me.

''Hi...'' I said, as he stopped in front of me. I smiled at him, not knowing what I should say or do.

''Hi.'' he responded. ''Listen, I have to talk to you, okay? Not now. Later. After Chiron's speech and whatever he has organized.''

''Ehm, sure...'' I looked at him, and thought I saw a small smile playing on his lips.

''Okay. I'll see you then...'' Without another word, he walked towards his table. I looked at Tyson.

''That was weird...'' He nodded and went back to eating his breakfast, which reminded me that my plate was still empty. I sat at the table for breakfast, but forgot to actually get breakfast. I got some waffles and blue orange juice and went back to my table. I quickly ate it and hoped Chiron would come up with the victory thing soon. About 15 minutes later, he finally told everyone to listen. He told everyone about our quest, about Camp Jupiter, and that they were staying here for a few days. After that, most of them would go back to Camp Jupiter, but some decided to stay. Hazel, Frank and Jason, for example. The camps and their campers were allowed to visit each other now, as much as they liked. He told us (the seven) to stand as everyone applauded for us. Then we sat down again. Chiron said there would be a dance tomorrow night to celebrate the victory. He finished his speech and everyone stood up to go to their normal business for today. I walked up to the boy that has been crossing my mind since I woke up. He looked nervous, looking at the ground, his arms crossed, his hands gripping his upper arms. As I walked closer, he tilted his head up so that he was looking at me instead of the ground. He looked good, even though his skin was pale and he had bags under his eyes. We said nothing, just looked at each other. He looked at Jason, who stood a few meters away and gave him a thumbs-up.  Then Jason walked away and he looked at me again.

''So... You had to talk to me?'' I asked when the silence became really awkward. He nodded, looking down again. 

''Yeah, I...'' He took a deep breath. ''Come with me, I have to talk to you in private, okay?'' I nodded and followed him. We walked in silence, which was awkward, but also nice. We kept walking until we were deep in the forest. Then he stopped and looked at me again.

''Percy...'' He let out a shaky breath. ''Do you remember when I first met you? With the hunters and all that?'' I nodded, and he continued: ''When I asked if Annabeth was your girlfriend... I- I asked it because I thought... I mean, I thought you were really cool, and... And how lucky she was to- to have someone like you and-'' He took a deep breath. ''I'm gay Percy, and I am in love with you.'' He looked at the ground again, while I let it sink in. He... Was in love with me? The Angel, as his surname said, the Ghost King, as he once called himself, he really was? Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, was in love with me, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon? I couldn't believe it, but as I looked at him, I knew it was true. He looked so scared, so afraid of rejection, I did something I never expected myself to do.

I kissed him.
