AN: Hey guys! I know I should be working on my other stories but I just want to share to you a little story about Nico! My attempt on humor and romance fics, I hope you will enjoy it just like you did in my other stories. Additional: Jason is not a Roman here and no Camp Jupiter. Sorry for that. So yeah, here's chapter 1!
Nico
It was the last day in camp. Campers are doing a major cleaning before they leave camp in the afternoon. Nico Di Angelo sat on the bench as he watches campers scurrying around the camp. He was a year round camper, by the way. Leo said he has special plans for his friends this weekend, and that day is tomorrow. Since Leo was the one who said that, it wouldn't be good.
"Hey, you gonna stay at camp?" Percy Jackson put a hand on the shoulder of the younger demigod.
"Yep"
Percy sat beside Nico. He placed his backpack next to his feet and slouched on the bench.
"Any idea to where Leo's taking us tomorrow?" Percy yawned and Nico smirked. If Leo starts to nag them about his plans, all of them knew that it's never going to good.
"No idea. I even asked Jason"
Percy nodded as he stood up and picked up his bag.
"I gotta go. Annabeth's waiting for me. See you on the rendezvous point" Percy said as he walks away and waves his hand. Nico sighed and yelled back:
"I'll shadow travel there!"
Nico shadow travelled in front of the burger shop in Manhattan. It seems like he was the last one to appear since Percy, Leo and Jason are waiting in front of the fast food chain.
"Where have you been, Nico?!" Leo demanded and Nico shrugged. Percy and Jason high-fived the demigod as he approached them.
"I woke up late, can't blame me" he reasoned out and Leo was not all ears to his explanation. They followed Leo up to his friend's apartment, well more likely Mitchell's apartment. Mitchell is the son of Aphrodite; the guy is a known billionaire for crying out loud.
As soon as they reached the door, Leo pressed the doorbell. Mitchell opened the door and saw the band of demigods in front of him.
"And here I thought you're joking" Mitchell muttered and Leo gave his usual smirk.
"Hey, you agreed! These guys have an important mission to do! Especially this little squirt here" he nudged Nico and the demigod protested.
"Who are you calling, squirt?!"
"That's a very big reason why you still don't have a girlfriend" Leo snickered. Jason and Percy held Nico back before he summons the dead and give Leo a visit in the Underworld.
"Perhaps it's the right time for us to go in" Percy said as he still restrained the son of Hades. Mitchell sighed and led the boys in his luxurious apartment. Leo plopped down on the leather sofa and Nico leaned on the wall. Mitchell sat beside Percy and Jason.
"So, what are we going to do exactly?" Jason asked wearily at Leo. The demigod sat up and grinned widely.
"We're going to do speed dating!" he said happily and Nico coughed out furiously in the corner. Percy's eyes widened and Jason's mouth hung open. Mitchell looked like he was expecting the reactions of the three.
"That's incredulous!" Percy gaped
"You're kidding, right?" Jason mentally face palmed
"What in the Hades, Leo?" Nico cursed and Leo raised his row at the demigod.
"Hey, isn't it bad to use your father's name in cursing?"
Nico's face flushed and crossed his arms.
"But Leo, I have a girlfriend!" Percy protested and so did Jason.
"Piper's going to kill me if she finds out!"
Leo yawned and Mitchell stayed silent.
"Fine, the guys who are already taken are out. I guess those who are single will join me" his eyes darted at Nico. Percy and Jason sighed in relief.
"There's no way you're going to let me do speed dating!" Nico screamed and Mitchell stifled a laugh.
"You have to. Mother has her full support in it" Mitchell smirked and Leo nodded. Nico was flabbergasted. How in the Hades did they have this silly idea?
"I won't do it!"
"Well then, mom said if you don't do it. She'll paint your cabin pink, make all your clothes pink and has hearts on it, make every ugly girl fall for you and make you wear make up for nine months" Mitchell continued and Leo was now grinning from ear to ear.
Good thing I talked Mitchell into this
Nico froze and Percy laughed his head off. Jason gulped and tried not to laugh hysterically.
Leo stood up and put an arm on Nico's shoulder. Nico wanted to protest but it seems like he has no choice. He can't imagine feeling Aphrodite's wrath if he does not do this.
"Fine, who's the first girl?"
"Whoa, hold your horses Nico" Leo started, "You can't go on a date wearing that"
He looked at Nico's plain black shirt, black rugged jeans and black chucks. Mitchell shook his head.
"Yep, it doesn't look good. The girls might think you're an emo or something" Mitchell added and Percy nodded in approval.
"I'm not good in clothes, but I got to say, it does really look kind of emo-ish" Percy went in and Jason nodded in approval.
"How can you gang up against me?" Nico frowned and Leo crossed his arms.
"Don't worry! The Camp Half-Blood Casanova is here to speed date with you!" Leo said, "Now first, we must get ourselves a good outfit! What do you have there, Mitchell?"
Mitchell sighed and pointed the way to his walk-in closet. Percy waved at Nico teasingly while the demigod silently cursed the son of Poseidon.
Jason asked Leo before he pushed himself into the room.
"Who is the first girl?"
"I'm not sure who it is. But wish me and Nico luck later!" Leo said as he went in the room.
Percy rolled his eyes.
"This is going to be good" he thought to himself as he imagined Nico blowing up his first date.
AN: Okay, is it good enough? I've to work on my other stories now! Reviews are accepted. :D
