AN: Hey, one of my friends challenged me to write a fic where Percy got really hurt and ambrosia wouldn't heal him. Enjoy and please review. WARNING: Pernico.
Percy struggled to stay in a remotely upright position as he started limping down half-blood hill. Stupid Gabe and his poker buddies. It sucks I can't harm mortals. He thought as he headed for Cabin 3.
Percy was almost to my cabin when he bumped into the ghost king. " Hey Nico, I didn't know you were here yet," Percy said as he backed away from the younger teen, wincing as it caused him to put weight on his leg. I hope he didn't see that. Nico would be the type to make me go to the infirmary.
Apparently the fates hate me, he thought as Nico looked at him, seeming to stare into his soul "Are you okay Percy?" Percy nodded to him and tried to step around his friend.
His leg and ribs were throbbing in time with his heartbeat, and he couldn't move his wrist, he wouldn't be able to catch himself if he fell over. Which at this point if he didn't get to lay down soon, might not be far off. "I'm fine just sore from sleeping wrong last night. I'm just gonna go unpack in my cabin, then lay down." Percy told him as he started to walk around Nico, limping visibly.
" Percy stop. I can tell that you're hurt. Let me help," Nico wrapped an arm around The Sea Prince's waist and drew one of the taller teen's arms over his shoulder to help him walk.
"Thanks, Nico, can you help me get to my cabin, please?" Percy asked in a hopeful voice. Nico shook his head, "You need to go to the infirmary Percy." Percy pulled against him, "No. Nico I can't go there. Will would want to put me in a cast, that means no water. I'm the Sea Prince. I need water." He begged. " Just take me back to my cabin, please."
Nico sighed and looked at him obviously trying to judge whether or not he would be able to force Percy to go to the infirmary.
" Nico, if you try and force me then I will flood half the camp," he warned The Ghost King as he hopped backward trying to get further away from the infirmary.
The son of Hades shook his head and stepped towards Percy, wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling one of Percy's over his shoulder again helping him stand up. " Fine, have it your way." He said as he started to help Percy back to the Poseidon cabin.
