Drown

Chapter 14

Hiii! I decided to give you another update since I didn't update for a month.

-Nico's POV-

Yes, I definitely felt better. Gods, Percy was so gentle and so rough at the same time. As if he was afraid I would break, but trusted me not to. I never thought it would happen, not only because I thought I didn't have the smallest chance with him, but also because I just couldn't imagine myself doing it, and certainly not with Percy, even though I had loved him for years. Part of me thought this was too soon, we were only together for 3 days. But the other part told the first part to shut up. I had waited long enough. I agreed with the second part. So I gave him all I got.

* Yeah timeskip thingy... I really don't know how to write things like that... *

We went to lunch together, holding hands as we walked. I was afraid that someone would laugh at us, but I didn't care at the same time. We sat down on our table, where Jason, Piper, Thalia, Hazel and Frank were already eating.

''Hi.'' Hazel said, with an unsure look at our hands. Ever since Piper calmed her down and got her modern time reaction, Hazel had tried her best to be okay with Percy and me. Sometimes, she still frowned and muttered things like 'No, not okay' but most of the time she just gave us an unsure smile and talked a little.

''Hi.'' I answered.

''How are you? Now?'' she asked. I looked up at Percy.

''Definitely better.'' I answered. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

Let me just explain our friends; There are those who never suspect anything happened, like Hazel, Frank and Caeda, then there are the people who can suspect something, like Piper and Thalia, then there are people who talk and joke all the time, and seem to sense whenever something happened, like Leo. And then there's Jason. Jason literally always thinks something happened.

So while Hazel and Frank were clueless, Piper and Thalia exchanged looks and smirks and Jason... Well, he was just being Jason, laughing and smirking and saying things, sometimes a little too loud. Leo and Caeda were nowhere to be seen, which bothered me a little.

''Does anybody know where Leo and Caeda are?'' I asked. Surprisingly, I got my answer from Clarisse. I thought she just got out of the infirmary and heard my question.

''I don't know where they are,'' she said, ''but Caeda visited me in the infirmary this morning, to see how I was doing since she was the one who wounded me. Leo saw her talking with me and got mad, which I understand... But however, they started yelling and screaming at each other, and Leo ran away.Caeda stayed and cried for a few minutes, but then went to find him.'' So they had a fight, huh? Maybe something did happen tonight... No, if something happened, the little girl would be dead since she swore on the Styx. I saw her sitting at a table with some other Hephaestus kids. She still looked very alive. Okay, good.

''Hey,'' Percy said, ''I'm sure they're alright. Come on, eat something.'' I didn't want to. I wasn't hungry. I knew I had to, for Percy, but I really didn't want to eat. Whatever. I got a little bit of food and started eating. It wasn't much, but it was something. After lunch, Percy and I practiced sword fighting. I was a little distracted and almost fell when he disarmed me and pointed Riptide at my chest. He caught me and pulled me in for a kiss. Luckily we were alone. At least I thought so.

''Hey!'' a kid from the Hermes cabin yelled from the other side of the training hall, ''Go do that in private, please!'' I quickly pulled back and Percy gave the kid an irritated look.
