So... I know I´m supposed to update my other story, but I lost my files, so I´m rewriting it. This plot-bunny wouldn´t leave me alone. It´s set in the same AU as Son of Death (Danny is son of Thanatos). PM me any mistakes or your requests, I promise I will try my best.


3rd POV

Nico couldn′t sleep. Yes, it was almost midnight and everybody was in their cabins and sound asleep, but Nico couldn′t. He had a meeting to attend.

Quietly standing up from his bed fully clothed in black T-shirt with grinning skeletons with his aviator jacket on the top and baggy jeans, he put on his sneakers and tiptoed outside to make his way to the Half Blood Hill under the slightly glowing Statue of Athena Parthenos. He could use any other shadow, but this one was the strongest around and didn′t drain him that much. When he finally reached the shadow of the statue, he looked at the camp for the last time and shadow travelled away.

But he didn′t go very far, only to Central Park in New York, to the part under the big oak trees. He looked around searching for any clues that somebody else was here and when he found nothing, he sat on the nearby bench. His eyes nervously glanced around and he started to bounce his leg in anticipation.

One minute later a pair of slim, but muscled arms slid around his middle and a low voice spoke next to his ear:

„Hey, Nico."

Nico squeaked in surprise and turned around to face this new person, hand already reaching for his Celestial Bronze dagger.

„Jeez, you look like I′m some serial murderer or a monster about to kill you!" said the guy to Nico, while smiling and putting his hands up in mock surrender.

„Y-you scared me Danny! Don′t sneak up on me like that!" Nico stuttered glaring half heartedly at the newly named Danny, who only chuckled in response

„But what fun is in that?" taunted Danny.

He slowly made his way next to Nico, while still holding Nico′s waist. He was lean, but muscular and was wearing a dark red T-shirt with cartoon bed sheet ghost with black skinny jeans and combat boots. When he sat down, Nico immediately laid his head on the taller boy′s shoulder and intertwined his fingers with Danny. The quiet atmosphere was broken, when Danny suddenly asked:

„So how were you the past two months when you were saving the world?"

„I went to Tartarus alone, got trapped in a bronze jar and took an ancient statue half way across the world. What do think?" retorted Nico sarcastically, slightly fidgeting.

„Sorry just standard que... Wait, you went to Tartarus alone?! Are you insane! There′s a reason we don′t go there. You could have died!" Danny shout- whispered, panicking.

„Calm down Danny, everything is okay, I survived, we defeated Gaea and we are finally together." Nico said, while rubbing soothing circles on the boy′s hand.

„I know, but I should go with you. I should help you... You are the only one I have left." murmured Danny sadly.

„I understand, but Danny, you were helping us, because you were closing portals between Mortal World and Ghost Zone. If you would go with me, maybe it would be worse." Nico tried to reason with Danny.

„But still..." sighed Danny a got a faraway look in his eyes.

Nico suddenly kissed him on the cheek and chuckled upon seeing the boy′s startled reaction.

„I missed you, Hunter." whispered Nico, untangled his fingers and moved a little bit, so he was almost sitting in the other′s lap. Danny laid his head on top of Nico′s and exhaled slowly.

„I missed you too, Angel." whispered Danny back. Nico in response only snuggled in Danny′s chest, feeling the steady although slow beating of heart.

They sat there in silence for couple of minutes, just enjoying each other′s company. Nico then saw an old-fashioned basket on the ground next to the bench with green and black blanket pulled over it. He decided to ask:

„Hey, you brought that?"

„Of course, I called you here, so it would be rude from me to don′t brink anything, don′t you think?" answered Danny almost immediately completely serious.

„You and your manners are insufferable." Nico rolled his eyes, but he was inwardly smiling. Danny always thinks about the others.

„Well, we can go eat if you want. I brought you my awesome sandwiches." taunted Danny in sing-song voice and got up, still holding Nico′s hand. He lightly kissed him on the hand and let go of his fingers to untangle the blanket. He then pulled it on the top of grass and sat on the top of it. Nico sat next to him and took one of the carefully wrapped sandwiches.

When they were done eating, Danny stood up, cleaned the blanket from the crumbs and pulled Nico to his feet. Nico only shot him a questioning look.

„Come on. I wanna show you something!" said Danny, tugging on his sleeve and taking the basket and blanket under his other arm.

„Okay, jeez I′m coming, you only get this excited when we are going stargazing." Nico told the anxiety boy. Danny suddenly went quiet and sheepishly looked at Nico.

„You are lucky I can′t get bored stargazing with you."

Danny instantly perked at this and grinned at the smaller boy.

„Sooo, what are we waiting for?" said Danny and started walking hand in hand with Nico towards brighter area. After few minutes they reached a spot near the lake, where weren′t that many trees. Everything was quiet except some chirping crickets and occasional loud car from the distance. Danny stopped and slowly put the blanket down on the grass and sat on it with Nico. He then lay down and tucked Nico next to him, one arm protectively around his waist. Then they spent couple of hours only looking at the stars and Danny sometimes pointed out some constellation.

Nico often caught himself staring at the boy lying next to him and he couldn′t hold it in anymore. He leaned above Danny and kissed him on his soft but charred lips. Danny was startled for a moment, but then responded with equal passion. He then tangled his fingers in the boy′s hair to deepen the kiss. After few minutes they broke apart, both panting and dazed and Nico lay again next to Danny. Danny let out a breath he didn′t know he was holding.

„I love you, Angel."

„I love you too, Hunter."

They were lying together, but the fast brightening sky was a sign that Nico had to get up even if he didn′t want to. Campers *cough Percy and Jason cough* would be asking where he went without the permission and he didn′t want to tell them about Danny yet. He sighed sadly and sat up with Danny following in tow.

„Do you really have to go?" Danny pouted with big puppy dog eyes.

Nico only rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless.

„We can meet tomorrow night, okay?" asked Nico.

„Okay, same place, same time?" offered Danny hopefully.

„Nah, what about my cabin? We are playing Capture the Flag tomorrow, so I won′t have enough energy to come here." retorted Nico trying to look as innocent as possible, but judging by Danny′s mischievous smile he was failing horribly. He then kissed Danny on the top of his nose and stood up. He glanced around if they were really alone and when he spotted nobody, he stepped into the shadows and shadow-travelled back under the statue. He exhaled slowly and little bit wobbled, but managed to sneak up to his cabin before any of the campers could spot him.

He slowly closed the door and slid on its black surface, so he was sitting on the ground and finally let himself hyperventilate. He kissed him! And Danny kissed him back!

When he calmed down, he heard a seashell blow in the distance. He slowly stood up and put his hands in the pockets of his aviator jacket. He frowned when his fingers brushed against some smooth surface. He grasped the object in his palm and took it out and what he saw made his heart skip. It was a little jewellery box. Nico opened it like in trance and saw a beautifully carved pair of angelic wings on a little chain. Under it was a message: For my lovely Angel. Hunter

Oh Nico was definitely excited for tomorrow night.


What do you think about that kissing scene? I appreciate any response
