Nico Di Angelo is the shy kid who sits at the back of the classroom. You would too if you had his secrets. Although he is quiet, he is also very talented. When he first entered this new high school, he had a lot of catching up to do since his old school was so far behind. Now, he is at the top of the class. Percy Jackson, on the other hand, is at the top of the social food chain. And while he is popular with his good looks as well as being the star player on the swim team, it is really his funny and welcoming personality that draws people in. However, Percy severely struggles in his classes due to ADHD and dyslexia. What happens when he asks Nico to tutor him? What happens when Nico doesn't hide his secrets deep enough?
Warning: Potentially triggering due to self-harm, depression, child abuse, and language (terms are used that are unacceptable to say to someone, but some characters are just that much of a jerk). Also, boyxboy; Don't like, don't read. Finally, the characters belong to the amazing Rick Riordon and none of the art is mine unless stated. Enjoy!
