Hi Guys. I know I have 5 uncomplete stories though Hierarchy Nonsense is nearly complete but I've had this idea in my head for days and I just can't wait any longer to start writing it.

I can't remember how I got this idea but I thought it would make a cool fanfiction

Also, This is not a Percico story. Its a brotherly love one.

In this story except for this chapter Nico is 14 and Percy is 17. They're also Human..not Demigods.

So! Please read, like and review pleeeease XD

Since You've Been Gone

Chapter 1

Four Years ago

Percy was rushing round his bedroom setting up snacks and drinks and video games. His cousin Nico was coming round for the weekend and Percy was looking forward to it.

Percy lived in a New York Apartment with his mother Sally and Step-father Paul Blofish though Percy kept the last name Jackson. He usually spent time with Grover, Annabeth, Nico and Annabeth's best friend Thalia Grace. Grover was his best friend, they were thick as thieves and had been friends since they were Eight. Annabeth and Percy met when they were Eleven and at first didn't get along very well but they get along a lot better now that they've gotten use to each others company and were still getting closer, though Percy wouldn't say he loved her,,,not out loud anyway. Percy had known his little cousin since Nico was only 2 however. His uncle Hades lived in Italy with his aunt Maria until Nico shortly after Nico was born when Maria and their daughter bianca went for a drive and got hit by a truck. Hades came to America with his young son in need of help and family. Sally had gladly helped him and thats when Percy met his little cousin. At first Percy was confused, being only 5 but they got along, Percy tried being responsible for his cousin and looked after him like an older brother and they'd been like brothers since. Percy was now 13.

Percy got everything set up and then ran down the corridor to the living room running past his mother who chuckled at her son and Percy sat at the window looking out for Nico. Percy had a present for his younger cousin and couldn't wait to give it to him. Nico for two years had liked a game called Mythomagic and had one of the largest Percy had seen but Percy had found one he knew the younger boy had been searching for and had bought it as a surprise.

Percy's eyes lit up as he saw his younger cousin walking down with his backpack. He only lived three blocks away so Hades let Nico walk by himself to his cousins house and had walked by himself to and from Percy's for almost a year now. Percy ran out the apartment door and down the steps to the door to greet his cousin. Nico laughed as he saw Percy run out the door to greet him and walked quickly to the boy and was greeted by his name being shouted particularly loud and a big hug.

"NIIIIIIIIICOOOO!" yelled Percy hugging his cousin laughing. Nico pulled back after a few seconds with a big smile.

"Hi Perce, You feeling ok" asked Nico walking inside and starting to go up the stairs. Percy nodded and followed his cousin up the stairs and into the apartment with a smile. Sally greeted the younger boy with a smile.

"Hello Nico, hows your father" she asked smiling warmly.

Nico smiled back taking his backpack off his back and holding it.

"Hes fine Aunt Sally".

Percy grabbed Nicos arm and pulled the younger boy towards his room and closed the door behind them and pulled open his bottom drawer and pulled out the messily wrapped present with a big smile. He turned to his cousin telling him to open it and then sat down watching him. When Nico pulled back the paper his jaw dropped and his eyes went wide.

"P..Percy...where…" was all the boy could get out as he stared at the Mythomagic figurine of Hades, Nico's favorite. Percy grinned wide happily.

"I saw him in a shop window across New York when me and mum went out last week. I knew you'd been searching for ages and I just had to get you it Neeks" said Percy grinning ear to ear.

Nico looked up grinning and hugged his cousin tightly.

"This is awesome Cous...thanks" said Nico who then carefully placed the figure in his backpack and pulled out fizzy drinks.

Percy smiled and they started eating and playing video games which went on till 6pm which was Nico's hometime.

"Bye Percy! Bye Aunt Sally" Nico said while waving as he left the apartment. Percy was still smiling. Sally smiles and sat down on the couch and Percy jumped down onto the couch next to her and Paul joined them when he got home from work at 7:30pm. They watched Finding Nemo which was a guilty pleasure of Percys.

Suddenly at 8pm the phone rang. Sally got up and mumbled a puzzled thought of who may be calling. Percy looked over the back of the couch listening to his mother as she answered.

"Oh, Hello Hades.." he heard her answer and he ran out to the hall to listen smiling but his smile dropped as he got there and saw the puzzled and worried look on his mothers face.

"No Hades….He's not still here… No he went home two hours ago….no..no dont worry..Ill get Paul, were gonna help you find him Hades, just calm down till we get there" Sally hung up the phone quick and went to the living room telling Paul to grab his car keys quick.

"Mum,,,,what's going on...Is Nico ok?" asked Percy worried.

Sally turned to her son looking worried and she bit her lip.

"Percy...Nico hasn't arrived home yet, Hades thought he was still here, and he couldn't see him walking down the street" said Sally.

Percy grabbed his coat silently and started running down the fire escape ignoring his mother's shouts for him to wait. He got to the bottom of them quicker than earlier and ran out the doors and ran down the street. He only stopped to cross the road safely before running down the next block but he didn't make it to the end of it before he stopped and froze. Down in the gutten of the road was Nicos black backpack, with the Hades figure on the ground next to it. Percy crouched and picked them up, barely hearing his mother running up behind him, or her calling for Paul to call Hades and the Police. He just stared at his cousins stuff, and the figure hed given him, frozen. Tears slowly fell from his face onto the backpack and he held the figure to his chest as he stood. He looked around but couldn't see his cousin anywhere.

"NICO!...NICO!...WHERE ARE YOU! NICO"
