Percy and Nico meet in a nightclub. It may not be the way the wanted it to be. [AU]

After Annabeth Chase's death Percy Jackson breaks down, blaming himself for what happened. All of Camp Half Blood mourns but none like the son of Poseidon. Feeling alone and insecure Percy Jackson turns to Nico Di Angelo who has dealt with the death of someone close many times before. But when Nico comforts the mourning Percy..things change in ways he never expected.

la douleur exquise; the exquisite pain of wanting someone that you know you can never have. It's the main feeling Nico di Angelo has felt his entire teenage life. As Percy and Annabeth continue their relationship, Nico might just crack under the pressure of dreaming and lusting after the clueless son of Poseidon. However, Percy's concern for Nico may just be the shimmer of hope he needs. all characters/original story rights to Rick Riordan.

Nico comes back to camp to pay a somebody a little visit, Percy noticed him, he felt some type of way he just couldn't put into words. He follows and finds out the truth why Nico had stayed away from all those years. How will Percy react? How will everyone react? Mystery follows.

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.~

[BOY X BOY] Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, is still helplessly in love with his friend Percy Jackson, a son of Poseidon. Nico, being the quiet and shy boy he is, keeps his feelings bottled up but can't help feeling jealous of Annabeth, who is dating Percy. Nico thinks his chances with Percy are probably thrown down the depths of Tartarus until one day, things start to change.. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys! So, this is my first boy x boy/fanfic story so I really hope you guys like it! If you don't like gays then just please don't read. This story is obviously not for you then. But if you don't like Percy Jackson.. I hope you go to Tartarus and never return! (joking) But seriously. How can you not love Percy Jackson? BTW, I'm going to change the ages a bit so that Nico is 18 and Percy 19 :)

Percy is a cool kid. Nico isn't. So it is understandable for Nico to be shocked when Percy comes and sits with him at lunch one day.

After the war, Nico had fled camp to escape his feelings. But when he's taken by his father after a favor is refused, he's saved and brought back to camp by the person he had dreaded to see most. Percy Jackson.

Harper and Annabeth Chase may have looked exactly alike, but they never acted the same. Annabeth is a quiet, intellectual badass, who's status is currently in a relationship. We all know Annabeth, but what about her twin, Harper? Harper is the popular princess. Growing up in California, she knew all the shopping districts from Membrose to Beverly Hills, what was in and what was out, and knew how to make anyone feel pretty. Oh, and I forgot to mention she's single. Even though they don't always see eye to eye, these twins have a super close bond. That is, until Nico di Angelo steps into the picture.
