"Don't judge me," I said to Rachel. She was laughing at me because I said Nico was beautiful.
"Oh, I'm not laughing at you, I'm just laughing because Nico would say the same thing about you," She muttered just loud enough for me to hear. With that, I got up and ram out of Rachel's cave and sprinted to the Hades cabin, not evenbothering toask
/Rachel what she meant.
When he got to the door of Nico's cabin, he started to doubt. What if Rachel had meant Nico liked his own style? Percy just thought she meant Nico thought he was beautiful. Well, fuck it. He was already there, just standing outside the
/door.
He knocked twice and immediately the door swung open and he was pulled inside. It was dark inside the cabin, only lit by some greek fire on torches that were fixed to the walls. The door was shut and Percy turned around facing Nico. He chewed hislip
and debated how stupid what he was going to do was.
"Do you think I'm beautiful? Because I think you're beautiful and I told that to Rachel and then she said you think so too and I don't know and..." He trailed off, looking at Nico, only to find him smiling like a madman. That only confused Percy, butwhat
happened next was only weirder.
Nico walked upand kissed him.
