Fire and Water (A Nico x Percy fanfic)

For Nico di Angelo, standing near Percy Jackson has always felt like standing too close to the ocean during a storm-overwhelming, dangerous, and impossibly magnetic. Ever since the Kronos war came to an end, an unexpected friendship has bloomed between the Son of Hades and the Hero of Olympus. Between quiet conversations, shared trauma, and unsaid feelings, Nico finds himself falling harder for the one person he knows he can never have.
When Percy offers to help refine Nico's swordplay with some one-on-one training, Nico jumps at the chance, eager to spend time with him-even if it means keeping his secret locked deep in the Underworld of his mind. But their lighthearted sparring session at the Camp Half-Blood arena comes to a screeching halt when they stumble upon a sight that shatters Percy's world: Annabeth Chase, wrapped in the arms of a Son of Aphrodite.
As the betrayal tears Percy apart, Nico is forced to navigate the fragile line between being the loyal friend Percy needs and hiding the truth of his own heart. When water meets fire, passions flare-and in the aftermath of broken trust, two demigods might just find that the strongest bonds are forged in the unexpected heat of the moment.

Small btw, the son of Aphrodite didn't know Annabeth was still dating Percy and this technically isn't illegal because Nico is actually in his 70s because of the Lotas Casino, which makes any ship with Nico weird anyway.
