The Love Goddess Sucks

Percy blinked a few time as he let the light shine in on his eyes, adjusting them for the bright colors. Nico was asleep on his chest, looking as cute as ever.

Oh yeah, that was something that had happened. The feelings had kicked back in again, starting how they were last time.

Right now his heart wanted to tell Nico he wasn't under his spell, but his brain screamed at him not to and reminded him of Annabeth.

Percy got out of bed and got on blackjack, feeling the first familiarity he had in a long time. He flew to Olympus, only to find a different sight than normal.

There was only one throne in the throne room, and it was a pink and white one with little roses painted on, the goddess of love sitting on it while the rest of the gods standing as her servants.

"What the hell did you do to Nico?" Percy was as angry as he could be.

Aphrodite just laughed. "It's almost like you actually like him. Oh wait, you must think you do. How does it feel to know that even if Nico breaks out of the spell, my magic has done it's work on you?"

"A spell? Nicos under a spell! How do I break him out?" Questions sputtered out of Percys mouth before he could contain himself.

With a snap of Aphrodite's fingers, Nico appeared, his eyes glazed over as he stood in complete relaxation.

"You came in and asked me what I did to Nico. But the most important question, is what did you do to him?"

"What?" Percy asked. "I didn't do anything,"

"Maybe that's the problem," Aphrodite replied. "He had a broken heart. It was once full of love, but none was given back to him by the one person he needed it from.

"You had two options when he came to camp. Sneak off and go on a quest, leaving the little boy who looked yo to you alone. Or you could've stayed with him, helped him, and managed not to send him on a depression spiral.

"Even after he came back to camp and you were there, you left him. You weren't there for him ever, which is why he did what he wanted. Did you think just anyone could go under my spell?

"Only the heartbroken can,"

"Is there any way to get him out of the spell?"

"Only for him to be loved by the person he lives, no spells. I guess it will never work, he'll be my slave forever, and you will be his,"

Aphrodite disappeared in a cloud of pink, leaving Percy with the motionless and spelled Nico. He looked at the Italian, watching him for a long moment.

He didn't know what came over him, but he felt fully free, no spell on him. Percy walked over, kissing Nico softly as himself and not a slave

Maybe, just maybe, he could actually break the spell.

This will have slow updates from here on out, but updates nonetheless.
