I don't own Percy Jackson.

Colors

Chapter 1

Nico had always seen the world in black and white. The greyish hues that covered the world were constant and unwavering.

The day Nico met him changed his life. He was only ten at the time, and claimed to be scared of the manticore who posed as his teacher. In reality, he was scared of the change. He did not know what it meant to have his world burst into color, turning everything around him into bright hues. The color was new, different, and terrifying. And yet, he wasn't cared with Percy next to him.

The day that he heard of Bianca's death was heartbreaking. Percy had promised, promised to keep her safe. He decided that day that he hated Percy. He couldn't handle life without Bianca, and to know that it had been Percy's fault…

After that day, the colors were less bright and distinguished. Nico began to wear black, to match the darker colors he saw. The change made him miserable, and neither Percy nor Bianca were there to help him. He had no one.

The day that Percy fell into Tartarus devastated Nico. He watched Percy's face contort into agony as he tried to hold on to the edge of the pit. Nico promised to meet him at the Doors of Death, knowing in his heart that Percy wouldn't make it. Nico watched Percy's body as he fell down, deep into Tartarus. As Percy fell, the color started to leak out of the world. Nico knew when Percy hit the bottom of the pit, as everything became black and white once more.

A/N

This is a Percico soulmate AU, like the ones you see on tumblr in which their ability to see color depends on whether or not they have met their soulmate.

It probably sucks and the first chapter is very short but this will probably get better.
