Here goes: My second try at a Nicercy story. Plus I kind of want to try an omniscient viewpoint. I never liked the first one, so... let's go!

Nico really and truly hated Annabeth. Of course, he realized this was totally and completely reasonable. Annabeth was great! She was intelligent, kind, everything you could ask for in a girl. With one exception: She was probably fucking Percy. Which was somewhat less than alright in Nico's book. Percy shouldn't be with Annabeth! He belonged with Nico, forever and ever.

So, Nico was (reasonably) upset when he heard Annabeth's name emanating from the Poseidon cabin. It wasn't in a conversational tone, either. Instead, it was moaned. Almost like sex. Nico wanted to die. So, albeit illogically, he approached the cabin. Although he knew what he'd probably see would break his heart, he also somehow wanted proof that his cause was lost.

Through the window, he saw something he'd never expected to see. Grover and Percy were relaxing on the couch.

"Dude, really? You fucked Wise Girl?" asked Grover.

Nico felt obscurely bad, all of a sudden. This was private, in a way spying on Percy and Annabeth would not, perhaps, have been.

"Yeah, a few times. But..."

"Yeah?"

"The first time... it was great. But since then, Annabeth's face kind of disappears during sex. And someone... else's... appears instead." Percy's face turned bright red.

"Ooh! Who is this girl? Tell tell tell!" Grover leaned closer.

"Aww, man... I don't know."

"You don't know what? Who it is, or whether you want to tell me or not?"

Nico was a little shocked. He knew Percy and Grover told each other everything, and couldn't imagine what Percy would want to keep from his best friend. They were sitting around discussing Percy's sex life, for gods' sake!

"OK," said Percy, "Well, I don't really know how to say this. But... I think I might be a little bit... you know. Gay. Definitely at least bi."

"That's cool too, man." Grover nodded as though he knew it all along. "I honestly kind of guessed as much. I mean, the way you look at that spooky guy Nico... wait, is that who you see during sex?"

"Um... yeah."

Nico didn't need to hear any more. He slipped away to his own cabin and began to formulate a plan.
