Percy leaned against a wall.

"What's up?" Percy asked. "Nothing much." replied Nico.

"Anyway, a little bird told me-" started Percy.

"What? What did he tell you? He promised!" shouted Nico.

"I was gonna say-" Percy started again.

"He promised!" Nico rambled on "He promised me he wouldn't tell anyone!" Nico started to look all sorts of feelings. Embarrassed. Scared. Nauseous. Betrayed. In love.

"I've waited too long to do this." Nico said.

He ran over and pressed himself against Percy. He pulled off and kissed him. There was a bang and Nico pulled back.

"What was that?" he asked. Percy bent over and picked up a small package, wrapped in Happy Birthday paper and tied in a bow. He handed it to him.

"I was going to say Happy Birthday." Percy said.

He then turned and walked off, a confused look on his face. Nico, now, wasn't ashamed to say he watched the entire bottom half of Percy as he walked away.
