Hey guys. This is my first story ever so I understand if you hate it. The Greek and Roman stuff aren't involved in this one. Their just normal average teenagers trying to figure out life. Hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: Sadly I'm not the great Rick Riordan. So I don't own any of these characters. I just own the plot.
Chapter 1
Nico was in his bedroom, trying his best to clean up a bit. Percy would be coming over to hang out and Nico wanted the room to be spotless. Lets just say Nico's not the cleanest person in his house. There were piles of clothes everywhere, books that were never read on the floor, and junk that has been completely disoriented that it was hard for Nico to make it out. His walls were covered with posters of Green Day, and pictures of him and his friends. Annabeth, Grover, Rachel, Thalia, and Percy.
Gods Percy, Nico thought as he looked at the picture on the wall with just him and Nico on the beach together. Percy was about 15 years old, and Nico the same but he looked like he was 10. He and Percy were just hanging out together in this very room, when Percy got the idea that Nico needed a tan. It's true, Nico needed it. He was pale for a 15 year old. Definitely palest one in their group of friends. So the two friends went to the beach using Percy's step-dad Paul's, SUV.
The tide was coming in pretty fast. He remembered telling to Percy that it might not have been a good idea to go to the beach, but Percy just laughed and said, "Come on Nico, we have 4 hours to kill. Don't you wanna swim?" with his mischievous smirk of his. Percy was already in the water, splashing happily. The sun, touching Percy as if to say "This one's mine." Nico walked to Percy, and stepped into the cold water. He took off his shirt and expected Percy to start making fun of him, but actually he said: "Wow, you're pretty built Nico." with a wink. Nico remembered himself blushing like crazy, and Percy chuckling to himself in response. They were just two bro's alone on the beach, just splashing and swimming together. Not weird at all.
The sun was setting and Nico hadn't even realized it was 7:30 already! "Perrrcyyy! C'mon the tides coming in and I bet your mom would kill me if she saw her son freezing to death." Nico yelled out. Nico was already half-way across the beach and Percy was still splashing himself in the glistening water. God, he's stunning. Nico just stood there, bottom lip bit, and arms crossed. Percy saw Nico and stepped on to the sandy shore, and walked to Nico. "Wow Nico, that was the most fun I had since Annabeth agreed to go out with me." exclaimed Percy. Nico remembers his mixture of feelings when Percy said that. Anger, sadness, but also hope, and love. "I want to remember this, just to bro's hanging out. Bro's for life, right Nico?" asked Percy as he took out his camera from his bag. Just best bro's? Nico thought. He'll only look at me like how he would look at Grover. Just a friend.
He felt Percy grab his shoulder and moved Nico closer than ever. They were both facing Percy's camera and Nico could feel Percy's hot breath on his cheek. "To best bro's." Percy said, right before the picture was taken. Nico crossed his fingers and flashed the brightest smile he could some up. He wished to all the gods above that somewhere in the future, they wouldn't just be best bro's. He wanted to be something more.
(I hope it wasn't to boring for you guys)
