Chapter 1. A death glare that doesn't kill
Nico felt a bit nervous today. He had just started high school together with Will. Will, Nico felt skeletons rise from their graves around him especially in his stomach whenever he thought of Will. It have been two years since they defeated Gaia and Leo is still missing. Nico felt his death that time but Nico bet Leo did turn himself into some kind of cyborg to survive. He would probably think that he was lucky. I mean he's the biggest machine freak Nico ever seen.
Anyway he was riding the bus while holding hands with Will. The bus was packed with people so they couldn't sit down. But Will managed to find a place where he could look outside while he was holding The ghost kings hands. Nico looked at Wills blond hair and tanned neck with unusual warm and gentle eyes for the son of Hades. Usually he glared with dark eyes wishing that he could kill people with a glare.
Sometimes he stared like that at Will. But Will would never look away. He would smile at Nico, and give him a surprise kiss on the cheek. Then that happened Nico blushed and tried to escape by shadow traveling, but he always hesitated. After all doctors orders were important, especially Wills.
Will always used nicos moments of hesitation by grabbing his collar and dragging him into hades cabin. It got real embarrassing if Hazel were there to visit. She usually go out of the room with a red face while apologizing. She started sleeping in Ares cabin after a few of those accidents. After all Nico Di Angelo glared a few times every day, he just had to make sure Will wasn't around when he did that. Surprisingly Will is pretty good at sneaking up on people which is making Nico become even more aware of Will and his surroundings, especially when Will isn't around.
While Nico was thinking of Will the man himself looked at Nico with shining blue eyes. He whispered with a gentle voice as he said "Come on Death boy. We are here." Most people would think that Will was simply happy because Nico was there with him but Nico knew better. Will probably thought about that too but the most of his head was filled with his wish of kissing Nico or dragging him into cabin 3. He will probably piss off Nico on purpose just so he can see his glare and get a chance to see his face when it slowly became red after the surprise kiss. Will take every chance he can to kiss Nico because Nico was so cute and became even cuter after a kiss. They stepped off the bus while holding hands. One of them was thinking of dirty things while the other one raised the dead because he held hands with the person he loved. It was a very normal day, as normal it could get for a demigod. But as usual it was just the calm before the storm. As in every story.
Percy was worried. He also felt very guilty that he hadn't done anything yet. He had promised Calypso to make the gods release her out of her prison called Ogygia. He also promised Leo to help him get back to the island. Something no man ever done before. Well, most of them have done some stuff that no demigod ever done before or something that only Hercules succeed in. Like kill Kronos, defeat Gaia, bath in river styx, survive Tartarus oh and I don't know maybe get a cheeseburger from a war god? But he felt especially guilty this time because 1)Leo died in the battle against Gaia. 2)It has been two years since then and Percy still hasn't talked to the gods about Calypso. He simply haven't got the time to do that. But Persues Jackson will change that today! Or tomorrow.
*Annabeth is kicking Percy in his face until he politely agree to do it today.
Percy called Posedion, his dad through Iris message.
"Hmm,Hi dad!" Percy didn't usually talk to his Dad so it was very awkward most of the time.
"Good morning my son. Do you know that time difference is?" For some reason Posedion looked really sleepy.
"Of course! Ahhh…. so is it time for lunch for you then?" Percy haven't realised before that his dad maybe got disturbed during his meal. Hmmm...I wonder if he eat blue carrots over there?
"No! It's in the middle of the night!" Shit! Maybe he's pissed off!
"Sorry. But dad that happened to Calypso?"
"Oh! That titan girl?" Posedion sounded a bit surprised about the question. He had a face like is this why you woke me up in the middle of the night face. For you're information that kind of face looks really angry.
"Yes, could you please let her off that island now dad? Haven't she been there long enough?" Percy hoped that his dad wouldn't tell him a distant answer like "Shes far,far away. Shes so far away that not even your arms can reach that place". His dad like to pull jokes like that then his son ask a serious question. Especially when he's pissed.
"..."
"Dad?"
"My son...she have been released since long ago. Now Good night!"
"Wait! Dad!
Percy heard a "Hohohohohoho" laugh in the background just before the Iris message ended. His dad was really pissed tonight. Maybe he should try again tomorrow…..or not.
"Leo?"
It was Leo who turned around, and that surprised Nico the most was that he didn't look like a cyborg who came back from the dead, which disappointed him a little.
