Then Again, Maybe Not

It felt like a dream. The haziness self the spell clouding Percys mind, shrouding off the thoughts that Nico didn't like.

His mind went blank in a matter of moments, all thoughts leaving his mind as Nico mentally cleared them to be what he wanted.

Percy blinked once, then another time, and then the third in a daze, everything coming at him all at once. What should've taken months, maybe even years to happen happened in a second.

It was overwhelming.

"N-Nico?" Percy whispered, his mind not fully functioning as he grasped onto the only thing his mind could tell him.

"Yeah, yeah it's me," Nico said slowly. "Do you- do you feel okay? Do you need to sit down? Do you need water?"

"Nico!" Percy yelled and tackled Nico to his bed. All the feelings were coming back, one at a time. And right now, all hid mind could do was heaps onto the one word echoing throughout his brain over and over again.

"So. . .you're not mad?" Nico asked after a moment.

Percy laughed. "How could I be mad at you? We literally went though hell together, Neeks. It's hard to be mad at you when I know your doing it for me,"

"So you're not mad that I used magic on you to get you to love me? That I basically took away your free will?" Nico asked again, kind of surprised that the spell worked.

"Not at all, I get it. You needed to do what had to be done. I lost sight of the bigger picture, I lost sight of us. For that, I'm not sure if you could ever forgive me but know I am so sorry,"

"Really?" Nico grinned. "So about how mad would you be if I never called you Percy again and just referred to you as Slave?"

Just like Nico had wanted it to, the magic causing Percys feelings doubled, growing stronger by the moment. Soon, there would be nothing of the old Percy left, no feelings for anyone else.

He would act like Percy, sure, but he would have no emotions or thoughts of his own that didn't include Nico.

A truly scary thought.

Percy gave a goofy grin. "I would love nothing more than that. Master,"

Nico smiled. "Okay then. Well then what should we do now that everything's the way it should be, Slave?"

Percy leaned down and kissed, actually meaning it unlike every other time he was forced to kiss Nico. The two kissed for a while, and when they pulled away, Nico actually smiled.

"So how'd I do, Master?" Percy asked with a grin.

Nico smiled back, "you did wonderful slave. Now tell me, could you swear something on the Styx for me? For your master?"

"Anything for you,"

The son of hades smiled. "Okay, Slave I want you to swear on the Styx that every time you call me master, the idea that I control you gets reinvented in your head. And that you would be nothing without me. So even if you break out, you remember that I am your master and that you should be punished by being put back under the spell. Swear that even if you break out, you will beg me to go back under my spell,"

Percy swore without a thought, doing exactly as he was told. Thunder rumbled in the distance and Nico smiled.

"Okay Slave, let's go have some fun,"
