New beginnings (pernico fanfiction)

Chapter Nine: So Close

~Jason's P.O.V.~

I walked back towards my cabin, looking around at the now somewhat deserted camp. There was hardly anyone out of their cabins since they where told about Annabeths death but  I couldnt really blame them. It was the 17th of December so the air was cold and lifeless as a small layer of snow glazed the earth as more slowly fell from the sky. Now usually we dont let any weather in unless we want it to but at winter those rules didnt apply after everyone moaning for  snow.

I let out a sigh and my breath was easily visable as it floated up into the icy air. It was stupid but it seemed asif the weather had changed because of Annabeth, call me insane but that what it felt like. Nothing flew above in the clear blue sky, the monsters hiding in the trees no longer made any noise. Like everything had died with her. I felt tears sting my eyes, I loved Annabeth but in a siserly way, we were really close friends.

I touched my door and push it open "JASON!" I look back and see Hazel running over to me.  She wore a purple jumper and a beenie on her head, a big fuzzy pom pom sitting on top. I smiled as she reached me "nice hat" I chuckle and she rolls her eyes, sticking her tounge out at me and  moving her head from side to side so the pom pom wiggled around.

We laughed lightly "you okay?" I ask and she nods "I just came to tell you that Reyna wants us back tommorrow..." she says slowly and I let  it sink in."but the funeral is tomorrow" I say, shivering in the cold and I cross my arms. "excactly.." she says sadly "you should try talking to Reyna, she might change her mind if you speak to her.." I nod.

"ill do it right now" I say stepping back into the warmth of my cabin "thanks Hazel" I smile and she returns it "bye" she waves before turning and running back to her cabin. (she should be sharing the hades cabin with Nico but while he is with Percy Franks stays with her instead).

I closed the door and rubbed my hands together "Jason? is that you?" Thalia asks from where she was sitting which happened to  be right a toasty fire.. "move up!" I laugh and I rush over, sitting down next to her. She rolls her eyes but moves up for me "who were you talking to?" she asks as I leant in closer "Hazel, she said that Reyna wants us back tommorrow".

"but the fune-".

"thats what I said" I say "so im going to try calling her, maybe change her mind.." she nudges my shoulder with a small smile "if anyone can do  it you can". I chuckle "cause im superman?" I ask and she grins "nope your blonde superman, theres a difference!"

"no theres not!" I push her over playfully but  she does a back roll and comes back  up into a sitting position with a smirk "show off!" I laugh "jelly?" she teases and I roll my eyes "yeah sure" I say and we laugh lightly.

She comes to sit back next to me "what about..Percy?" she asks and I sigh quietly "he was asleep so I told Nico instead, the message will get passed along though.." I say and she nods "this must be really hard on him" she says sadly and I put one arm around her shoulder and pull her into  a little hug "you have no idea" I mumble .

~Percy's P.O.V.~

Weve went through this already but there is seriously no other way to describe how  I felt when my eyes slowly  opened: competely destroyed. My head hurt, my chest hurt, my heart hurt, everywhere freaking hurt.

I faintly remember crying but ive been doing that so much latly I didnt know if that was yesterday or last week. I put my hand over my face breating in raggered breaths. Was i even still alive? ..... did i want to be alive?

I lifted my hand and blinked away the blurryness to see my room, making me sigh slightly, yep i was alive. I sat up groggily and crossed my legs. The pain was now bareble when I moved, maybe it had lessend but I was so accustemmed to it now that I wouldnt have cared either way. I reached over and picked up my other half of ambrosia of my cupboard and slipped it into my mouth.

I felt slightly warm and fuzzy but it was momentarily. I heard a quiet groan and glanced down, at the end of my bed was Nico. He was lieing down across my bed with his head  by the wall, his legs pulled up so he would all fit.

I smiled a little but it felt strange on my face, like a distant memory that my body ached for. I poked his leg a little, I didnt want a replay of yesterdays morning. "Nico" I said softly "hmm....yeah..?" he mumbled and opened his eyes slightly "wake up" I say but his eyes where already closed again.

I crawled forward a little and shook his arm gently "Nico, get up" I say "goddammit Percy im sleeping" he mutters and my smile grew wider. "why do you have no pants on then?" I ask and he sits bolt up right...are faces inches apart. My eyes grew wide when I felt Nicos hand brush my leg but when I quickly glanced down he was just moving. "..l-liar" he stuttered nervously, his face flushing and I could feel the heat rising to mine but neither pulled away.

"i..erm..i d-didnt want it to be like-e yesterday.." I say, a stutter no forming in my voice an I felt like i couldnt form words anymore. I felt Nico's warm breath on my face as I looked into his eyes as his gaze glance down and mixed with...lust?.

~Nico's P.O.V.~

I glanced down at Percys lips but quickly snapped back to his eyes, the colour no longer looked light see green but more of a dark mossy colour. It would be so easy to kiss him now..

It was the wrong thing to do, he had just lost Annabeth, the last think he needed was some emo freak kissing his, my eyes slowly drifted down again,..rose red lips that were parted in a smile, his pearl white teeth slightly showing through the small gap..

I bite my lip and looked back up at him,  forcing myself not to let my eyes wander "P-Percy?..." I asked, my voie no louder then a whisper. "just kiss me you fool" he whispered back, his voice husky and deep..sedutive...

I leant forward, our noses now touching and sending shivers up and down my body. My lips barely brushed his when I heard "well this is a surprise!".
