Nico was having a pretty shitty day even before Percy came.
First, he ran out of hot water first thing in the morning,even though he was sure he was the first person to use the shower this morning.
Then, everyone was staring and gossiping about his confession to Percy.
Even though he only told Percy, he probably told Leo since he came back from the dead about a week ago, with a goddess hanging off his arm.
Percy and Leo were the best of friends now that things between Percy and Calypso weren't as awkward, seeing as she now had Leo.
Nico knew Piper knew since, just 2 days ago, Jason had come up to him asking if it was true, that Nico confessed his feeling for Percy, seeing as Leo had come up to the couple telling them the news.
Needless to say, Jason was pretty shocked. Jason had always told Nico that no one would judge him if he told Percy, but he didn't think Nico would actually confess.
Even if Piper hadn't told her siblings about his crush on Percy, they probably would have found out anyway. Which was unlucky for him, since the Aprodite cabin was also the cabin that was known to gossip about each and every secret, with everyone.
So now here he was sitting at the Hades table without even Hazel to keep him company, since she was on a date with Frank.
"Hey! Nico!" He looked up to find Percy freaking Jackson, bounding up to him with his trademark lopsided grin, struggling to keep off of his face.
Honestly, Nico thought Percy would stop talking to him and being around him altogether, after his confession. Percy did quite the opposite of that, since he tried to be around Nico every spare moment he got.
"Guess what! Apollo going to be visiting camp everyday at campfire for 2 weeks. Chiron wants all of the head counselors to be in the Big House in 5 minutes to interpret the information." Percy was practically having a seizure, with how much movement was put in those few sentences.
Nico knew Percy had extreme ADHD, but this was ridiculous.
"Oh my gods, Percy. Interpret is a pretty big word. I didn't know your little seaweed brain could handle such big words." Nico teased him, stretching out the words to show him he meant it in a jokingly fashion.
Percy's face fell, making Nico extremely confused for a moment before he remembered somthing. Something that made him feel terrible . He had called him a seaweed brain.
Percy and Annabeth hadn't been doing very well after tartarus. While Percy became even closer to his friends as a means of comfort, Annabeth had started to distance herself out and push people away.
They had tried to get her to open up for awhile, but it wasn't working. She started to get more aggressive every day, yelling at the kids in her greek class whenever they got something wrong.
Eventually it became to much for her and she broke up with Percy, leaving him to deal with the aftermath of tartarus alone, in favor of going back to San Francisco to be with her dad.
Well, Percy wasn't totally alone. Nico knew the aftermaths of tartarus just as well as Percy and Annabeth.
The only problem was, while he had started to open up after the war, his confession to Percy had made things between them even more awkward, even though they were still good friends.
"Oh. I'm so sorry Perce. I didn't mean to bring her up. Just forgot I said anyth-" Nico was abruptly cut off by Percy.
"It's fine. Just make sure you are at the meeting on time." Percy grunted coldly before turning on his heel and walking off.
"I'm really sorry." Nico whispered to the spot in which crush had just been standing in.
So... How was it? Sorry for the formatting before. This is my first story so I'm new to thIs.
On a very important side note this is a Percico story not Percabeth.
I like Annabeth and Percy together but they are not my OTP. Sorry if I mislead you.
On a second side note, do you like my pen name. It was inspired by Takara Phoenix's Nicercy daughters and I thought it sounded nice.
Review please and, to all haters out there, stop drinking haterade.
XOXO, Hazel Persephone
