Psychokinetic Disaster (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight - EPILOGUE -

A/N: Okay, so, no smut but a sort of filler chapter? Idk man. It's short. I can't help but think that last chapter wasn't a satisfying ending. Here's what happens two years later. I feel like this whole fic was rushed and I really hope I develop my writing skills better as well as my grammar.

It had been two years since Nico escaped from the laboratory.

Said sixteen-year-old sat and rested his forehead against the cool surface of marble. For those past two years, Percy decided that Nico would celebrate his birthday on the day he and Annabeth found him on the shore that fateful night; which was the same day this year. Every month, he came by the graveyard to visit a friend of his. Or who used to be his friend.

On the tombstone made of marble was written "Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano" in cursive. They hadn't known each other for more than two days but it was like the girl had earned her place in Nico's heart. Maybe it was just him not familiar to being exposed to friendly people. He was saddened by her death and sometimes, he would fall asleep leaning on her grave. He smiled and dusted the dirt that started to cake the engraved stone. If only he had the ability to talk to the dead...

Nico wondered if there was someone out there with that kind of ability.

"Hey, you." A familiar voice greeted from behind.

Nico closed his eyes and relished the arms that wrapped his middle. He leaned back into his boyfriend's chest and looked up. He received a peck on the lips that made him smile benevolently. "Here again, I see." Percy whispered. The male had grown messier locks in which Annabeth had sworn to cut it one day if the male didn't. It was all swept to one side, giving the eighteen-year-old a look like he just got out of bed. His green eyes had grown a tint darker but would often brighten when he was with Nico.

"Wouldn't be a surprise." Nico mumbled, nuzzling his neck. Percy hummed in agreement. He had never met Reyna but if she had a place in Nico's heart, then Percy would respect her even for Nico. The male readjusted and sat cross-legged on the grassy ground. He pulled Nico's hand to his lips and kissed his knuckles. The teen sighed in content.

"You two are so in-love, it makes me sick." A female's voice interrupted them.

Nico chuckled as he looked up and found the daughter of Ares along with his other friends coming their way. Over the course of the years, the three, Nico, Thalia, and Clarisse, had become friends. Thalia waved a hand at the couple, side-by-side with her brother, Jason Grace. The blonde had grown a closer bond with the raven-haired teen. They became good friends as they talked more; about how he saved Percy's ass every time people from the Andromeda came around even if it were false alarm.

Clarisse had found her own love interest but the girl refused to admit it. The guy's name was Chris Rodriguez. It was dangerous to let other mortals know of people like them but Clarisse defied that rule. Chris was a sweet guy towards his girlfriend. He manages to calm her when she's at her worst. Clarisse never admitted they were going out but the group figured it out when she turned a soft side for Chris.

"Nice to see you too, Clary." Percy waved a hand. Thalia sat beside Nico and stared down at the grave. Apparently, she knew Reyna. It was rare for them to befriend scientists in their time at the laboratory. Just thinking about it made Nico shudder. Percy felt this and held his hand tighter. The teen smiled and scooted closer to his lover.

"It's Clarisse, seaweed brain." Clarisse rolled her eyes. Chris meekly followed her and smiled at the group. "You're hanging out with Annabeth too much." Percy countered. The girl snorted and crossed her arms. "By the way, where is she?" Jason looked around as if expecting the blonde to pop out. Nico smiled lightly. "She finally got the guts to ask Piper out."
