Percy Jackson Short Stories

Leico

I sat on my bed staring at the wall of the Hephaestus cabin, counting down the minutes until my boyfriend Nico was coming back.

My adhd got the better of me however. And soon I was making little mini people out of metal. I was just putting the finishing touches to Nicos face when who did I see in the mirror?

"Neeks! I haven't seen you in months!" I exclaimed, forgetting the metal and engulfing him in a hug.

A camper walked out of the bathroom, and seeing Nico was back, tactfully left us alone. Everyone knows me and Nico are a couple, just like everyone knows Luke and Percy are a couple.

And Clarisse and Annabeth.
Though oh my gods, don't ask me how THAT happened.

"Hey Lee. Didja miss me?" I rolled my eyes at the question and answered with a duh.

We sat on my bed holding hands while Nico told me all about the quest he had been doing, where he had to track down and capture a few escaped souls and return them to the Fields of Asphodel.

He also told me of how he shadow traveled to his father, to find him with Persephone...having...yeah...thankfully he wasn't seen though.

"Percy's been waiting for you to come back!" I said, suddenly remembering Percy asking me to let him know when Nico was back. "Ooooh and you'll never guess who Percy is now going out with!" I grinned, imagining Nicos face when he
A) realised Luke was back,
B) realised Percy was dating Luke,
C) realised Annabeth was dating Clarisse.

"Wow sounds like a lot has happened while I've been away, huh." I nodded my head and, taking his hand, led him outside. I knocked on the door of the Hermes cabin, but they weren't in there.

I knocked on the door of the Poseidon cabin next, and sure enough, the door opened, and a squealing Percy flung himself at Nico.
I stepped round them and into the cabin, where I found Luke sitting on the floor, next to an Xbox controller.

"Just to give you the heads up, Nico doesn't know about you." I informed Luke. He nodded his head and smiled at me. Nico walked into the room and stopped short when he saw Luke.

"Your meant to be dead." He said straight away.
"Hades gave me a second chance, because for some reason, I kept my memories when I went to the underworld. He knew that i was missing Percy, who, at the time wasn't my boyfriend, but Hades knew that if he gave me another chance, me and Percy would be happier." Luke explained. He said all this with a bored expression, unsurprisingly, since he'd had to explain it about a million times since coming back.

Nico blinked a couple of times, and then stopped.
"So you and Percy are a couple?" He asked slowly realising.
"Well no shit, Sherlock." Percy said, laughing.
"I missed your warped sense of humour," Nico smiled.

At this point Annabeth arrived, with Clarisse.
"Nico! How are you?" Annabeth exclaimed, while Clarisse just stood awkwardly.
"I'm good, you?"
"Good thanks."

After 45 minutes of chatting, me and Nico went back to his cabin to have some private alone time together.

We climbed up a ladder onto the roof and sat looking up at the stars, and I pointed out Zoës constellation. Nico in turn pointed out Biancas.

I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and we sat in comfortable silence, watching the meteor shower. I turned to face him and kissed him passionately on the lips.

I wish this perfect moment could never end, I wish I could stay cuddling and kissing Nico forever underneath the stars, carefree and happy.

The perfect night.
The perfect stars.
The perfect relationship.
The perfect everything.
