Here's a little something from me. I know nobody reads this but whatever. Have fun and please leave feedback

"Oh no you don't, not this time," Nico remarked. "Why not, you know you want to, deep down in that dark heart of yours." This time Percy's gone a little too far. "It's dark for a reason, now don't go shoving light where it doesn't need to be!" "I'll be shoving more than light into you," Percy smirked. Nico tripped at the moment those words left his mouth. "WHAT THE FUCK PERCY!" Percy just sat there laughing on the bed, not giving a care in the world what Nico thought about him. As Nico got back up, Percy began to beg again.

"Come on Nico, just stay for one night." As much as Nico wanted to, he couldn't just give in. It would show Percy how weak he was. But then again, one day they could know a lot more than just each other's weaknesses. Maybe even Percy's favorite flavor ice cream, or his favorite animal, or even his favorite food. "Um, Nico?" Nico snapped out of it. "Why do you want me to stay so much, huh?" Percy thought about how to word such meaningful words that could change their lives forever.

All Nico wanted to hear were three words. That's all it took. Those three simple little words that complicated so many things. Nico sat back down onto Percy's bed, and he was not disappointed by Percy's next words. Percy regretfully said, "I love you". Done. Bingo. He'd done it. Nico could see the hurt and pain on Percy, but that was about to change. "You have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that," Nico muttered, hardly even audible. "What?" Percy asked, not hearing what Nico had just said. "I SAID, you have no idea how long I've waited for you to say that!" Percy looked confused. "What?"

"Don't you get it Jackson, I've loved you since first sight. Even after you broke your promise to me, after you let Bianca die, through all that sadness I found hope. A reason to keep going. And that, that Percy, was you." Percy couldn't believe it. He could see the tears welling up in Nico's eyes. As he closed them to keep from getting worse, he opened them to find that Percy had pulled him into a sort of hug/cuddle on his bed. Nico wrapped his arms and legs around Percy.

"I never did get to apologize," murmured Nico. "About what?" Percy asked, looking deep into Nico's brown eyes. "About Annabeth" Percy trembled a bit, this was a touchy subject. After she was sacrificed for Gaea nothing had really been the same. "I'm sorry," Nico said, surprisingly with actual gratitude behind it. Percy hugged Nico tighter. Nico loved it, but was too shy to admit it.

As the sun shone through the window, the sun began to descend. Under the covers, still holding Percy, Nico cherished every minute of it. Then by, surprise, Percy leaned in for a kiss. The warmth flooded Nico's mouth, and as he pulled back, Nico leaned in for another. "Percy?" "Yeah?" "You think we've got a future?" "We are the future Nico". Hearing this, Nico pressed his head into Percy's chest, and Percy just hugged him even tighter. "This is something I actually look forward to," said Nico with a smirk. "That makes two of us then," Percy replied. "Hey Percy?" "Yeah?" "Just shutup" "That I can do" "Thanks" Nico shifted positions and pulled the covers over them, while Percy moistened his lips for more.
