Nico's Education

'What do you mean you have never been with a girl?' Annabeth giggled as she, Percy and Nico sat around in cabin 3, drinking soft drink, finally back from their latest and most dangerous quest to date.

'I didn't say girl…I said anyone…' Nico flushed

'Are you into guys?'

'No…maybe, I'm not sure'

'Want to find out?' Annabeth asked smiling knowingly

'What?' Nico stammered

'You can kiss Percy and me, and see which you prefer' she said like she was explaining a simple science experiment to a middle school class.

'I…wh…' Nico stammered blushing, how had he gotten into this mess?

'Nico' Percy said looking at him 'We will accept you no matter who you like, you know that right?'

'Yeah…' this was true, he knew Annabeth and Percy so well and trusted them with his life that he knew they would love him for who he was no matter what. 'But I might not be gay'

'And that's ok too' Annabeth stuck out her tongue and Nico actually smiled. 'So you up for our peck test?'

'What test?'

'Peck, you know, kiss, smooch, lock lips, face fight…'

'What was that last one?' Percy laughed

'Shush you' Annabeth smirked

'O…Ok' Nico

'Just so we are clear, you have kissed before?'

'Yes, but it wasn't anything amazing'

'Oh this will be fun' Annabeth smiled wickedly 'Percy, you want first turn?'

'Sure' Percy smirked 'Bet he likes me more then you' he wiggled his eyebrows at her in a mocking jest

'Bring it' She grinned back

'Am I a competition?' Nico asked looking a bit pink in the face

'You're the prize' Annabeth said with relish, Nico blushed. Percy lent over and caught Nico's lips with his own; they were cold, like ocean water. Nico gasped, Percy tasted slightly salty and like a fresh breath of summer breeze, how was that possible? Percy moved his lips against his with such easy it was like gentle waves at the beach, Nico kissed him back softly.

'My turn' Annabeth laughed and pushed her boyfriend off Nico, she smiled sweetly then lent in and caught his lips with hers, there was a slight spark that seemed to set off in Nico's stomach this time, her lips were delicious, he felt like he could kiss them all day. She nipped his bottom lip playfully then pulled away smirking.

'So?' she asked easily

Nico thought for a moment, while the other two kissed quickly then looked back at him

'Percy, while you taste amazing, I think I want girls a bit more…is…is that ok?'

'Of course' the other two laughed.

'I don't know how to do any of this stuff' Nico blushed, they were all sitting in the couch, listening to some music they had fought five hours over because they all liked different stuff, but had eventually all settled for the one album that now hummed in the background. It had been a week or so since the kissing experiment and they were all still as close as could be, Nico had been slightly worried that Percy wouldn't be ok with him kissing his girlfriend, but he really was ok with it.

'We'll teach you' Percy smiled, he was ok with the idea of sharing Annabeth, maybe it was his god side talking, but it sort of felt normal to be with more than one person, and being able to care about more than one person was good, it meant more love was in the world, and he had seen enough pain, death and fear to want to constantly run away from it all.

'Yeah, it's really simple, you just go with the flow really, here I'll show you on Percy' Annabeth grinned, she twisted in her seat and straddled her leg across Percy's lap, she settled down and wrapped her arms around his neck. Leaning in close she kissed him sweetly, drawing a few long lazy kisses from him, the ones that stole your breath away. Then she pulled herself closer to him, pressing her chest harder into his as she nipped his lip playfully

'You want to start sort of slow, so you can draw all their attention' Annabeth instructed 'then when you want more, you start to kiss with more fire, show what you want' she demonstrated this for a few minutes with Percy's very willing assistance.

Annabeth swung her leg back off Percy and before Nico knew what had happened she was straddling his own waist, her hips pinned to his

'Don't be shy, I don't bite…' she smiled, her grey eyes glinting

'Often' Percy chuckled

'Shut up seaweed brain…' she laughed, Nico lent forward and caught her lips with his, she returned his motions and they kept kissing for a while. Percy, took Nico's hand that lay by his side lamely and placed it on Annabeth's back, signaling to do that next. Nico raised his other hand to her waist and pulled her closer. She placed her hands on his cheeks and kissed him sweetly, then nipped his bottom lip, a soft groan escaped his lips before he could stop it, Annabeth smiled against his lips and rolled her hips smoothly against him. Nico broke away, looking slightly alarmed

'What's wrong?' Annabeth asked, slowly rolling her hips over his

'You're not comfortable, you keep moving' Nico looked apologetic

'Trust me, I am comfortable' she chuckled and ground into him with more skill, he caught his breath

'You think that feels good' Percy laughed 'wait till later' he grinned, as Annabeth ran a free hand down Percy's torso and over his belt, he sighed when her hand met its target. She grinned and went back to kissing Nico, nibbling his lip, making his hands wrap tighter around her, pulling her closer to his chest.

'We can show you if you want' Annabeth smiled wickedly
