Death by Sea (Pernico fanfic)

Chapter One: So Cute (gag) (Nico's POV)

Chapter One: So Cute (gag) (Nico's POV)

I stalk back from the beach into the interior of Camp. I stick my hands into my pockets and sigh softly as I see the couples and other just perfectly happy singles. I guess once you reach a certain age you see people as a couple or single. Sad, really, especially when you know you're not straight. Funny, huh?
"Neeks!" I stiffen and slowly turn. My eyes are hidden by my long loosely curled hair. I look at Percy and Annabeth, the two holding hands and smiles on their faces. Annabeth leans over to tell Percy something. He laughs and disconnects their hands to talk to me.
"Neeks, hey," he smiles.

"i don't... I never went by the," I say coldly. "Percy, I've told you that."
"Yeah, but-"
"Just... don't, okay Jackson?" I ask. "I'm... not feeling that great today. I can't deal with... with weird names." I wish I didn't stutter, but it happens to me a lot with Percy.
"Right, sorry about that," Percy says with a sad smile. "You know, you might feel better if you showed up to more meals than just lunch."
"Sure," I dismiss him.
"Hey, we're going to have movie night at my cabin, Tyson built a cool system last summer," Percy says. "You should come."
"Wow, an invitation," I roll my eyes. "I'll check my schedule."
"What could you possibly be doing?" Percy asks, slightly irritated now. Admittedly his comment hurts, but I don't really say anything else.
"You're right. I won't be coming," I sigh. I walk off and I hear Annabeth say something to Percy. I can feel the frustration radiating from him. I walk into my cabin and flick on the lights quickly. Despite what a lot of people might tell you, I don't really like the dark too much. Too many possibilities for demons to come and like... rip out your throat and eat your soul. 

I pull on my pajamas slowly that night, trying not to think too heavily about everything. I climb into bed, pulling the covers over my head and close my eyes tightly. I don't usually dream, despite being a demigod of the Big Three. Odd, huh? I always thought it was weird too, but of course that doesn't mean I don't dream. My dreams are usually the most disturbing if they're not nightmares. I get those a lot.

        I sit down on the sofa, nervously. Percy is standing there, the rest of the seven not here yet. Percy doesn't say anything for a moment.
"Neeks, I know."
"What do you think you know?" I ask in a deadpan.
"You like me... don't you?" Percy asks with a crooked smile that makes my heart flutter. I scoff and roll my eyes. I lean back and smirk.
"You think I'm gay for you, Percy Jackson?" I laugh bitterly. "Hilarious."
"Really? You're sure you couldn't feel just a tiny bit of attraction to me?" Percy slowly comes over to me and then climbs over my lap. I shove him off of me and stand up.
"i knew coming here was a bad idea, Jackson. I never should have said ye-" He grabs my shoulders roughly and I shrug them off.
"Stop it Jackson," I snap. "Pervert." Percy sighs softly.
"I knew you were gross," Percy sighs. "You totally like me."
"You're totally self-centered. Not everything revolves around you," I yell.
"You don't know what you're talking about, you're just so distracted with trying to deny it that you just think that you aren' gay, Nico, I guess it would be okay, but we couldn't be friends," Percy insists.
"Screw you," I say shakily. "I'm leaving." I walk out the door and suddenly fall into the ocean. It's cold and I hear Percy's voice
"You're gross, Neeks." 
"Gross, disgusting."
"Who would love you?"

When I wake I lay there in bed, traumatized and pull out my iPod. I stick the headphones in and play the hard rock songs I usually do at around three in the morning to dispell the demons. I scroll through my Tumblr and slowly feel my eyes droop. I drop my iPod and faintly think about picking it back up, but I'm gone.
