This idea hit me so hard. I felt kinda bad for Nico in the last book House of Hades when he admitted that he had had a crush on Percy. And then I felt even worse since I don't believe Nico was telling the truth about giving up on Percy. Stupid Percy. why did you have to be so straight. I hope that in the last book Nico will reveal his feelings to Percy but at the same time I don't want him to cause Percy will just break his heart in the end.
Nico hated Percy Jackson. No he didn't but wanted with all his heart to be able to because the truth was harder to face. He was in love with the raven haired teen. Why did it have to be Percy. Forget that it was a guy. He just didn't want it to be Percy mainly for two reasons. One reason was the son of Poseidon was as straight as a metal pole. The second was Percy was his friend.
For a short while Nico had tried to act like he hated Percy but in truth he hated himself for the warm bubbly feelings Percy gave him. Bianca had been the only one who understood and she died while with Percy. Wasn't that enough reason to hate the boy and Percy had even promised to keep her safe. But all it had taken was one look into those pleading sea green eyes and he was gone again. Nothing Percy could do would make Nico hate him.
So many sleepless nights full of images that would tease him. Fantasys that would never be. It hurt so bad. Nico grew to hate Annabeth and her annoying smile, the way she kissed Percy, the way she laughed when he was around. That should be Nico smiling, kissing, laughing.
Nico was ashamed of himself and that's what led to the self inflicted cuts on his pale arms. His tears mixed with his blood as it ran down to his elbow. Something would have to be done about the throbbing pain in his heart. Something permanent but for now the pain from the cuts was enough to distract him.
Nico rose early in the morning, his mind already set on what to do. The son of Hades walked briskly to cabin three. He knocked and waited until a half dressed Percy came to the door. Nico was on him in a second. He tackled him to the floor and they wrestled on the floor both trying to gain the upper hand in the fight. Percy didn't have a clue what was happening but he did know that Nico had not came to be freindly. Nico ended up pinning Percy's legs in between his own and Percy's arms above his head. He had planned on punching the life out the raven but at the moment he looked so darn kissable. So Nico kissed him. Since that was probably the only time he would get to kiss Percy he went all out. Oddly enough Percy didn t resist.
Nico broke away from the kiss and tried to run out the door as fast as he could but Percy stopped him by grabbing his arm just below his elbow. The action caused Nico's black long sleeve to be pulled up and reveal the cuts. Percy stared opened mouthed at the cuts and he looked like he was about to say something but then Nico twisted in his grip and socked him hard in the jaw. Percy let go while reeling away with a pained cry. Nico was out the door and already almost to his cabin. He burst through the door and threw himself on the black satin sheets of his bed. He sobbed into the pillow. That hadn't solved anything just made it worse. And now Percy knew something was up.
The part about Nico cutting himself was not planned at all. It just happened. Idon't know if I should continue this so I will let you guys decide if you want more. Despite how this story sounds I really like Nico but he's so easy to do an angst story on. Please review.
