AN: This one is born out of frustration. What frustration you may ask? Simple. The frustration of any true PJO fan. Nough said. Enjoy the drabble! :)

Set after "The House Of Hades". Nothing past that book happened. Everyone who is alive by the end of that book is back at Camp Half-Blood, even the Romans (they are just paying a visit to the camp, that's all).


"Nico!" Percy ran up to me as I walked down the beach of the camp.

"Hey Percy, what's up? Where is Annabeth?" I asked curiously, my gaze fixed on some imaginary spot to the north.

"At the cabin... you see, she's a bit worried about you." Percy told me. I looked at him, shocked.

"Why would your girlfriend worry about me?"

"Because she knows how lonely you were ever since..." he stopped talking but I didn't need him to finish to know what he meant to say.

"It's been years, Kelps for brains. It's fine, I got over her death..." I smiled at him, somewhat thankful for his care. "Besides, I have Hazel now, so I'm not that lonely.. and even Persephone has been warming up to me..."

"I know that." he spoke impatiently. "She ... and I, for that matter... mean the fact you are still single when we are nearly all paired up... don't you like any of the girls here at Camp?"

"Why do you care?" I questioned him rudely, but apologized right after. "Well... I'm simply not attracted to them."

"What do you mean?" Percy asked confused.

"What I mean, Seaweed, is that I'm gay. I'm attracted to guys." I told him, somewhat smug at the now gaping Percy. "Careful. Or I might take that as an invitation..."

He shut his mouth almost immediatly, blushing slightly.

"Anyways." I moved on. "You can tell Annabeth, but both of you need to promise me that you won't tell anyone else. The only one's who know beside you right now are dad and Persephone. So, please, don't tell anyone... I will find happiness someday, alright?"

"Yeah..." Percy smiled at me and hugged me out of nowhere, before letting go, leaving me shocked. "Don't worry, I promise. And this time I can do that without a guilty concious. Good luck Nico..." he turned and left for his cabin as I grinned, watching my former crush leave.

"Same to you Percy... same to you." I whispered to the wind.


AN: Done! Hope you liked it :)
