Hey guys! so... if anyone here read any of my other stories, I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a long time... I just didn't like how any of the stuff I tried to write came out...
So, anyways, I am a HUGE Solangelo shipper, I just love them do much! Oh, they're so cute! So I thought I'd give you some Solangelo and a little big-brother-Percy, I hope you like it!
It was about a week after Nico's confession that Percy finally got up the nerve to go talk to him. It's not that he resented Nico in any way after finding out about his feeling, not at all. If anything, he felt like he was to blame here. Percy felt like a complete jerk for not seeing it sooner, for not being nicer, more sensetive. But, as they say, the past is in the past, and there's nothing to do about it now, except try to sort everything out with him.
That's why, against camp rules (not that he was ever big on following rules), he went to sit across a stil-sleepy looking Nico di Angelo at the Hades table at breakfast time.
"Uh, hey Nico." Percy said, feeling rather awkward. Nico, seemingly surprised by Percy's presence, looked like he was just startled out of deep thought.
"Um, hey Percy." He said, once he recovered. "How are you?" He asked, looking a lot more in-focus now. "I feel like I haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah, me to." Percy answered him in an uncharacteristically awkward way, feeling guilty for having avoided the son of Hades.
"I, uh, wanted to talk to you." He said, getting a curious eyebrow raise as Nico's way of saying 'go on'.
"So, about what you told me the other day..." Percy trailed of, not sure how to say what he wanted to say.
"You mean that I liked you?" Nico asked when Percy didn't continue.
"Don't worry, I got over that a while ago. no need to feel weird around me." He said with a nervous laugh, as if he was trying to convince himself there really wasn't a reason to feel weird around him.
"No, it's not that." Percy said, looking Nico in the eye, getting serious now. Nico had to know that he didn't feel weird around him, Percy had to let him know.
"Not at all. Even if you did still feel that way I wouldn't treat you any different. It doesn't change anything Nico, not at all. I just... wanted ti say I'm sorry, I guess, for not being more sensitive."
"That's okay, Percy." The son of Hades said with a kind of shy little smile, one that was getting more and more common, although not entirely replacing the usual glares and scowls.
"Like I said, you're not my type, anyway." That shy little smile suddenly turning into a teasing smirk.
"You offend me greatly." Percy says with a teasing smile of his own, happy that the air wasn't tense and serious anymore.
"So, if tall and handsome isn't you'r type, what is?" The son of Poseidon says in a teasing way, getting a kick under the table from the younger boy.
"Uh..." Nico said, feeling rather embarrassed with the whole situation.
"Come on, you can tell me!" Percy said in a cheery tone, getting curios.
"Fine... I guess I like blonds... with blue eyes..." Nico said, looking down at the table, failing at hiding his blush.
"Any specific blue eyed blond catch you'r eye?" Percy asked in a teasing manor, but he was actually really interested now. Did the son of Hades have a new crush?
"Um... maybe?" Nico said, cheeks heating up even more, looking at something behind the older boy. Percy looked behind him, seeing the Zeus table, where Jason and Piper were sitting, talking and eating quietly. Nico couldn't have a crush on Jason... could he?
He turned back around to face the smaller boy, an eyebrow raised, hoping that it wasn't who he thought it was.
"Okay, yeah, I guess one has..." Nico said, smiling at the thought of his crush.
"He's a really good friend of mine, so-" He started saying, but was cut off with a shocked looking Percy saying "you mean you have a crush on..." but trailing off, not able to say the name.
"Y-yeah..." The pale boy said, looking even more embarrassed, if possible.
"Oh..." Percy said, still pretty shocked. Poor Nico. First Percy, now Jason... he really had no luck.
"Does Jason know?" Percy asked gently, trying to be sensitive.
"Yeah, he was the first one I told... He was there for me, even when I didn't really want him to be," Nico laughed a little at that. "with the whole having a crush on you thing, so I figured he would be just as understanding this time." Percy guessed he could understand that.
"What did he say?" Percy asked, getting ready to go give Jason a piece of his mind (and fist) if he said anything hurtful to Nico. He was not expecting the answer he got.
"He said he thinks he might like me back..." Nico said, looking a little giddy at the thought. Wait, what?
"But... he has a girlfriend!" Percy said, not believing that Jason would ever say something like that.
"What? No he doesn't... he would have told me if he did... " Nico said, sounding a little unsure of himself.
Now Percy was really confused. The whole camp new about Jason and Piper!
"Nico, they're sitting right there!" The puzzled son of Poseidon said, not understanding what in Hades Nico was talking about, pointing towards the Zeus table.
"What? That's Jason. Will's in the infer-" And then he got a look of understanding on his face (though Percy still seemed very confused).
"Percy, who do you think I have a crush on?" The younger boy asked, looking sort of amused now.
"Jason! You said you liked a blond, blue eyed good friend of your's. Who else could it-..." And then everything clicked. The only other blond, blue eyed good friend that the son of Hades had was Will Solace, and now that he comes to think of it, he and Nico did seem rather close lately...
"Ohhhh!" Percy exclaimed, smiling widely. "You like Will Solace!" The older boy practically yelled, causing Nico to 'shhh' him, blushing again.
"Yes, you idiot!" The son of Hades said chuckling a little bit. "Gods, I can't believe you thought I liked Jason! I mean, I love him and all, but not like that. Ew." He said, scrunching up his nose.
"You know, now that I think about it, you guys do look really cute together." Percy said in a teasing tone, feeling really relieved that the younger boy didn't have obviously unreturned feelings for the son of Jupiter.
"Shut up." Nico said, trying to hide a shy smile from the older boy.
'Speak of the devil.' Percy thought as he saw the son of Apollo walking up to the table from the direction of the cabins, coming up behind an unexpecting Nico, who seemed to think that he was in the infirmary. He put his hands ever Nico's eyes. "guess who" he said, smiling brightly at the shorter boy, who was teasing Will, acting like he didn't know who it was. Percy smiled fondly at them, seeing what he missed until then - the romantic (and maybe a little sexual) tension between them.
The last thing he thought before he went to find his girlfriend was that he was glad that Nico di Angelo - the ghost king, the prince of the underworld - was finally happy.
