Pernico! Nico is going through a hard time, as is percy. Will the two succumb to the sadness, or will they be survivors?

Shortly after the Second War, Percy's not-so-little secret comes out: he's not straight. Chased by the Romans who've been won over and led by Octavian, he flees to the Isle of Shadows, where Nico currently resides. Together, they discover another plot to bring down the demigod camps, and eventually strike down the gods, yada yada yada. Will the forces of evil just take a freaking break!? [[edit: set after Blood of Olympus, except Annabeth and Percy stay at camp, and Nico doesn't. Also, this was written before BoO, so things are a little au.]]

BoyxBoy Percico "Say it!" I repeated. "Tell me what you actually think of me! You're just like everyone else, Jackson, I know it! Just admit it-" Percy let out a strangled noise and suddenly, I ended up on the rough grounds of the forest. My wrists were gripped in his hands tightly, pinning me down, as his black hair stuck to the sweat on his flushed tanned face, and mine to my pale cheekbones. My back ached, but my anger triggered pain was stronger. "Everything is WRONG about me." I said through gritted teeth. "I might not be a real ghost or a lost soul in my father's realm, Percy. But up here... I might as well be." ~It's a long journey to love. Especially if you run away from it.~
