Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson. So this is supposed to be set after HoO, assuming none of the characters mentioned die a horrible sad death. This is mostly just me messing around and having fun with my boys, Nico and Leo. Anyway, Enjoy! :)
A BIT OF EARLY WARNING:
I rated this as teen because I assumed most teens were okay with swearing and etc. I did not rated this tween. I know this series is supposed to be intended for younger kids like in middle school etc but i rated the fic TEEN for a reason. So here's is a warning!
If you're not a-ok with swear words and allusions to sex/relationships then you might as well leave right now because i know there is plenty swearing (and very very scarce references to sex but some people complained about it so I feel the need to mention it anyway)
Also, this involves gay relationships. First of all, if you're okay with straight relationships and not have the rating be higher, then you should be okay with gay relationships at the same rating. If you're not, that does not mean i should be the one going out of my way to try and pretend they don't exist because they do and it's absurd to think that something should be rated heavier just because of the identity of the people involved. Two men together or two women together are not any different than a man and a women and I'm very, very sorry for you if you feel differently.

UPDATE 8/12/2018:
I wrote this story back in the stone age of 2013. Times were simpler, and the whole world wasn't falling apart. I started this when I was barely 13, and finished it at 14, then haven't touched it for literally 4 years. I've started and graduated high school within that time. I learned I wasn't cis or straight. And I move to college in a few weeks.
I believe I started this fic a few months before House of Hades came out, and finished it before The Blood of Olympus came out. Like wise, I didn't even know Nico was going to be canonically gay or with Will, who at that point was basically just a one off character mentioned once in PJO. When I wrote this, I was in love with Percy Jackson and the stories it told, but it's been four years, and I've found more stories to love. If I'm being real, I read about half of Blood of Olympus before putting it off for eternity, the book still half unread and covered with dust on my shelf. I know what happens from there foggy at best. It's not that this isn't a series to love, it really is, but it made its impact in my life and that was it. For some, that impact last their entire life. For me, it lasted a wonderful two years, and now I love more works for different reasons.
I write this as a future disclaimer, that the writing is not the best, the jokes may be corny, the grammar/spelling is sub par at best and the editing is nonexistent. And yes, the ships are not the ships you want. Sorry. Despite this, I'm not going to edit it (besides this little update) because it's been so long, and I'd like to preserve it for now in its awkward corny entirety. Also, I'm just lazy and to this day I still don't know how I managed 40,000 words out of a goofy Truth or Dare fanfic. I also think it's a good indication of how far I've gone as a writer.
All of this is to say, that I'm eternally grateful the continued support over the years, but I'm really not emotionally invested in Percy Jackson anymore. So if you would like to leave a review with your support, it is very appreciated. Please, if you're going to review, do not do it if the only reason is to complain that there's no Solangelo or you think Octachel is disgusting, or that Thalia or Leo are straight (that much is a lie, that boy is bi and I will fight you on that), or that Leo and Nico don't work as a couple. You're not going to change anything, the story is written, and I'm not going to change every instance of "Leo" to "Will" just for your enjoyment. I wrote this 40,000 word Leico fic because Nico and Leo are two character very close to my heart, whom I related to on many levels, and at the time, with the novel series only half way done, I thought their personalities fit together like puzzle pieces in a world of dead sisters and seventh wheels.
Sorry for the incredibly long update, but I'm just sick of getting reviews that are just complaining about the ships I picked five fuckin years ago when I started this.
Read this for was it is, or I guess, what it was five years ago. I'm not psychic, and I didn't know how the story would progress from MoA/HoH. Additionally, the writing gets way better after the first few chapters (though it still has its flaws!). All in all, just keep all that in mind as you read, and hey, give a universe where Leo and Nico are dating a chance. You might like what you find.
Enjoy!

THE ACTUAL BEGINNING FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO AVOID THE NOVEL AT THE TOP LMAO:
Percy's POV
Leo, Jason and Frank came running towards me, Leo in the lead. Who would've thought someone with such short legs would run so fast? Anyways, he almost topples over the picnic table I was sitting at with my lovely girlfriend, Annabeth Chase.
"What the Hades, Leo?" she said, voice firm, but pretty like an angel...Okay, I should shut up. He clears his throat, then gives us his infamous impish grin. Man, he creeps me out when he does that. It makes me think he's gonna burst into flames and destroy the planet. Oh yeah, he's talking. When I finally bring myself back to the conversation, he's saying, "-So, we were inviting a bunch of people and gonna hang out. Wanna come? No, don't answer that. You ARE coming. You have no choice."
Annabeth laughed. Leo was kinda like a little brother to her, since he was the only one not a child of Athena who actually somewhat understood what she was talking about when she was rambling about her architecture stuff. "Okay, we'll come. 'Round when?" she asked.
Jason pipes in, "8:30!"
I stare blankly at the three demigods standing in front of me. "What are we doing?"
"Oh, come on, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said, "Weren't you listening?"
Quickly I covered myself up. " I was too busy staring into your beautiful eyes, Wise girl..."
Jason made a gagging sound and put his hands to his throat like he was choking. "Ah, gag me with a spoon. Sappy much."
I laugh and put my arm around Annabeth's shoulder. "I'll just follow Annabeth at 8:30. I don't gotta know what we're doing."
Frank laughs, "We're having a party."
Leo pumps a fist in the air. "Yes! See, Franky gets it. Aint no Party like a Leo party!"
Jason punched Leo in the arm playfully. "Yeah. My sister's gonna be there, even a few Romans..."
"And Beauty Queen and Hazel-Bagel," Leo added.
Frank stiffened. "'Hazel-Bagel?"
Leo grinned. "Yeah. Don't worry, I'll let you take credit for thinking of that nickname. So anyways, we still have to tell a lot of people. It's gonna be in the woods, kinda like a sleepover thing, if that's cool. You'll know it when you see it. Anyways, see ya." and he ran off.
"Uhgg. More running," Frank sighed.
"He's just a ball of endless energy, isn't he?" Jason complained as he followed Leo up the hill, along with Frank. "So," I said when they're gone, wrapping one of my fingers around Annabeth's golden curls, "We actually going?"
"Yes." She kissed my nose. "It'll be fun. Besides, if it gets plain we can always sneak off."
I smiled. "I love it when you act bad."
She just smirked and replied, "I was planning on that." Then she pulls me into a kiss.
