Percy

It had been about two weeks since the incident and me and Mom where preparing for Nico to come and live with us, unfortunately Bianca was going to have to stay there a little while longer. Nico, on the other hand, was coming home with us tomorrow night. Actually, he was going to be at school tomorrow, and then Reyna was going to drive us home, after we picked up his things.

We only had one room to share, for the three of us...um.... So there was a bunk bed and a single bed, the single bed was for Bianca cause she would be in a wheel chair, and me and Nico would have the bunk beds.

I was setting up the beds, and the closet, and burrow, and the whole room, and mom was doing the baby room. We had a closet and burrow cause there was gonna be so many of us. "Hey mom!" I called. "What!?" she called back. "Where are the extra sheets!?" I totally forgot to get the sheets out. whoops. "In the linen closet! On the bottom shelf!" Mom called. "Okay!"

 As I walked out to get the sheets a text popped up.

Annabeth Chase: How are you guys doing? 

I decided to respond in my usual 'oblivious' 'seaweed brain' kind of way.

Percy Jackson: I'm fine! Thanks for asking!

Annabeth Chase: Not you, you idiot! Your mom!

Percy Jackson: She's great, I'm great. Everyone is great. I'm gonna go to bed now gotta go.

Annabeth Chase: since when did you go to sleep at 8:30?

Percy Jackson: who said anything about sleep?

Annabeth Chase: You did....just now...

Percy Jackson: Uh, no. I said I was going to bed. Meaning I'm Making the beds up for me, Bianca, and Nico. ttyl.

by the time I made all three beds and completely set up the room, it was about 11:00. I didn't realize how tired I was till I heard mom snoring. I yawned and got ready for bed. Tomorrow is the day, the day Nico can't avoid me any longer, the day I get to hang out with one of the most awesome peopl on the planet, the day Nico comes home.

The next morning Reyna promised to be my carpole, so she was driving me to the hospital to pick up Nico. As Reyna pulled up in the drive way she smirked at me "So, your adopting him. That means you to can't be together romantically." Reyna said. "No, we're not adopting him or Bianca, there just going to live with us. Like, our room mates." I clarified befor unbuckling to get out.

"I'll wait in the car." Reyna said as I began to walk away. This is it, this the day Nico gets a home. I walked up to the women at the front desk "Hi, I'm here to pick up Nico Di Angelo." the girl smirked at me and said "so...you come to see him everyday, and now your taking him home? And he says your only friends." I blushed and said "Everyone seems to think we're dating, but we aren't" the girl just laughed

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see a fully dressed Nico with a bag over his shoulder. "Nico!" I called and ran up to him. He hugged me and I hugged him back. I grabbed his bag, witch was very small, and said "Is this all you have?" He nodded and said "I don't have a lot of stuff." I smiled and said "alright then, lets go."

 After a while at school with class and work and class, free period came. I saw Nico go off by himself to a dead tree. The same dead tree I'd seen him sitting under in the past.

"hey Nico. Wassup?" I said as I sat next to him. "nothing much." He said and put his sketch book away. He never lets me even glance at that thing. I wonder why? "You know, you never really told me about what happened..." I said looking at him curiously.

"oh. Well...." Nico looked awfully nervous. "Hey, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I said putting my hand on his shoulder. "No. You deserve to know." Nico said though his voice was shaky. "My mom, she was abusive. She found out I was..." Nico stopped looking down. I didn't want to pry, but this sounded serious, like something he needed to get off his chest. "gay." Nico said barley more then a whisper. "She found out I was gay and Bianca was bisexual, so she attacked us." 

I stared at him for a minute. "So...your gay?" I said. Nico face paled and said "yeah..."  I smiled at him and said "Its okay, I'm gay to." Nico gaped at me and said "seriously?" I nodded. "No. Your lying." Nico said grumpily. "why would you think that?" I said innocently. "Because I saw you kissing Annabeth." Nico said. I started laughing so hard I could barley breath.

"Nico, you probably just saw me holding her down when she was freaking out. Cause, we all kinda have anger problems..." I said slowly. Then Nico started laughing "Yeah, I still don't think your gay." Nico said.  "What?" I said shocked "of course I am!" Nico just laughed and said "prove it." I gaped at him.

"How do I prove a sexuality?" I said gaping at him, although I a million thought of what I could do to the little boy where racing through my mind. "I dunno, I'm sure there's something..." Nico said looking at me innocently.

"Alright then. Come here." I said motioning for him to sit next to me. He looked a little scared. "oh, come on! I don't bite!" But I can, if you want me to. Nico slowly came over and sat closer to me.

I leaned in slightly and let my lips brush against his. Just for a split second our lips where connected. I hadn't realized it till now, but I wanted his love, badly. His lips where soft, and gentle, they smelled of cinnamon and vanilla. bitter sweat. 

Nico

Percy leaned in and brushed his lips lightly against mine, it was the best feeling I've felt since...well, ever. His lips where soft, and though the kiss only lasted less then a second, I smelled his sweat sent. He smelled like sea salt, like a water fall. Adventures yet to come. 

A/N: OMG THEY KISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you guys feel about the POV change? Should I continue to do that? Or should I just have it be one POV per chapter? Also, would you mind checking out my new Percico short? it's called 'I Wish I Could Love You' and you could also call it 'A Big Book Of Feels' so would you mind reading it? I only have one chapter up and its only gonna have like ten chapters but I'm gonna enjoy it, and it would be lovely if you would to!
