A/N- This is my first Percy Jackson fanfic :) I always wanted to know what would happen if Percy and Nico got together~ So I wrote what I think it would be like!

Nico Di Angelo glared up at the pale crescent moon anxiously, hoping that maybe, possibly, it could decipher some of the feelings that had become twisted and threatened to overwhelm him.

Why? Why did he feel this way? Why him?

The small boy ran a hand through his dark brown hair and sighed in frustration. He figured he should go to bed before he had any more emotional break downs. Shouldering his sleek black Stygian iron blade, the young son of Hades retired for the evening.

"Annabeth!" The green eyed boy called, successfully catching the girl's attention. The intelligent blonde scooped up her current research material (Daedalus' laptop) and made her way over to her favorite son of Poseidon with a bright smile on her face.

"Hey, what do you have planned for today?" She asked, her stormy gray eyes flickering to a few Camp Half-Blood newbies who were attempting to fly a pegasus.

Percy stretched his arms high into the sky. It was a perfectly sunny day at camp, then again it usually was sunny here due to magical forces, the weather only changed if they wanted it to. After his cat like stretch, Percy shrugged.

"I dunno."

Annabeth shook her head and let out a sigh, "let me know when you find out seaweed brain."

With that she walked away, clutching her laptop like a lifeline. Percy sighed, deciding he'd go to the training grounds for a little sparring (though no camper has bested him yet) Maybe he would teach some lessons to the newcomers.

On the way there he encountered his best friend Grover who was talking to his girlfriend, Juniper. The poor satyr looked like he was treading on thin ice with her. Juniper had her back turned to him with her arms crossed angrily.

Grover glanced over and gave him a nervous wave. Percy in return shot him a sympathetic look and continued on to the training grounds. When he got there he was surprised to see it was occupied by someone other than Mrs. O'Leary. A young boy was there with a mop of scruffy brown hair and a familiar black sword that Percy instantly recognized.

Nico...

Nico continued to viciously attack the straw dummies that were scattered amongst the ground. Not sparing a single one, dodging the flying projectiles that came after him, and maintaining focus the whole time. To say the least, Percy was impressed. Once the brown haired boy had finally ceased fighting and sheathed his sword was when Percy actually spoke out to him.

"Nice job Nico!" He praised, walking over to the teen. Nico's head turned in Percy's direction. He was panting heavily and his face was beaded with sweat from training. It was only after Percy got close enough, in reaching distance, did Nico shoot him the deadliest glare he had in his arsenal. He'd had enough of Percy. Those sea green eyes haunted his dreams at night.

Percy caught the glare and stood awkwardly still infront of the boy, unsure of how to react. He inwardly sighed, there's only one thing that would account for this behavior... He still blames me for his sister...

Nico's glare vanished like it had never even occurred, but Percy knew better. The son of Poseidon could be dense sometimes, but he could tell when someone wasn't too fond of him.

"Nico... I know you still blame me for what happened... But I already said I was sorry! What more can I do?" Percy reasoned.

"Sorry won't bring back my sister. sorry won't stop me from hating you. Sorry's not gonna cut it, Jackson." Nico scowled, walking away briskly towards the pavilion.

Percy sat gloomily at the Poseidon table. It was frowned upon for kids of other Gods to sit together so he was left by himself.

It's lonely here without Tyson... He thought as he poked half-heartedly at his spaghetti with a fork. The Cyclops had visited their father for the summer but promised he'd return soon. Percy's eyes darted over to the right table where the smart-aleck children of Athena sat. However, he was looking for a certain blonde smart-aleck in particular and his face fell when he found that she was not among them.

"Hey Percy-"

"WAH!" The raven haired boy shouted, jumping at the unannounced voice. When his heart calmed a little he glowered when he saw that it had certainly been Annabeth who scared him.

She sat at the table with him, a wide smirk crossing her face.

"What are you doing here? You know you can't be at this table!" Percy whispered, and he had been right. Eyes were all on them and campers LOVED the gossip.

Annabeth responded by rolling her eyes, "honestly, we've done this before and they should be used to seeing this by now."

Percy just shrugged, admittedly a bit uncomfortable with all the attention.

"I noticed since we parted this morning that you haven't been yourself... Is something wrong?" Annabeth asked, a worried expression etched onto her face.
Percy sighed, "It's Nico... He still hasn't forgiven me." He explained, his sea green eyes darting off to the side. The stares and whispers intensified around them. Michael, one of Annabeth's half brothers, cleared his throat loudly in their direction.

"I guess I should go..." Annabeth assessed, rising from her seat. She started to walk back to the Athena table before slowly backtracking and standing before Percy once more.

"What's up Wise girl? Need me to-" his thoughts were cut off when he felt Annabeth's lips against his cheek. Percy lit up like a Christmas tree and clutched his freshly kissed cheek.

"Don't dwell on it too much seaweed brain." By the time he looked up, Annabeth was already half way back to the Athena table. A slight flush stained her cheeks red as she ignored the whistles and jeering from her half brothers and sisters.

Percy sat there dumbfounded, gaping and still holding his cheek. After the excitement died down, Percy left dinner earlier than usual, deciding he would turn in for the night. On the back he spotted Grover again. Juniper and him were laughing and chatting happily this time. Percy waved at him and Grover trotted over, signaling for Juniper to wait a bit.

"Hey Perce, what's up?"

"Are you two alright?" Percy asked, his green eyes shining with worry. Grover laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head, "Heheh, she caught me talking with some Naiads and you know how THEY are. She got the wrong idea and sorta called me out on it."

Percy nodded sympathetically, he knew very well the flirtatious behavior of those girls. He clapped Grover on the back and bid him goodnight, smiling as the satyr gave him a thumbs up with an face-splitting grin.

That's good, Grover and Juniper and doing better. If only my relationship with Nico would repair itself so easily...
