Gender Bent - Pernico

*Nicos Pov*
I yawned, opening my eyes to a horribly bright day. It's too bright. Why can't the sun be dark? That would make being a son of Hades a lot easier. I hissed, getting out of bed. Trudging to the mirror, I turned on the shower, reaching my hand in to feel the water.
"Fuck!" I swore. "Hot, hot, hot, ow ow ow." I held my finger close to my eyes to see if there was a burn when I finally saw myself in the mirror. I yelped as I covered my mouth with my hands..
Are those breasts...?
And why the hell is my hair so long?
Holy shit.
I'm a girl.
I cannot leave my cabin until I figure out what to do.
*Percys Pov*
I'm so worried about Nico. I haven't seen the kid in days.. I asked Hazel and she said he hasn't been there at all. It's been a week. He's probably run away again.
Gods, how long is he going to keep running away? He barely stays at camp for a whole week before disappearing. I sighed. I have to do something. I found myself running to the Big House, hoping to send a search party or something for Nico. I was at the bottom of the steps when someone knocked me over.
*Nicos Pov*
I ran to Chiron, I have to figure the hell out why I'm a girl with boobs and not having a dick like I should be. This cannot be happening. I stumbled inside the Big House, Chiron looking up at me and freezing up.
"Bianca Di Angelo?" He whispered. Oh god, I look exactly like Bianca if I'm a female version of myself.
"Chiron, it's me. Nico. I-I'm a girl.. I woke up and turned on the shower and then I saw myself in the mirror and and-" I pointed to my chest "and these somehow got here!" He looked at me skeptically. My hair cascaded over my side as I tilted my head.
"Well, Nico, but for now.. Nicole. Just hang in there until I can figure out a way to fix this." The centaur concluded. I sighed and nodded before walking down the steps and ran right into someone.
Why gods, why?! What if the person sees its me, Nico, in a girl body?!
Oh my gods. It's Percy.
"Oh! Gods, I'm so sorry-" He then looked up at me. "You're new, aren't you?"
"Sort of.." I mumbled.
"Do you know who your parent is yet?"
"I-um-Hades.."
"Oh really? Cool you can meet Nico!"
"Who's Nico?" I asked, so he wouldn't get suspicious of me being Nico.
"Oh, he's the son of Hades, a.k.a. ghost king."
"Ghost King?" I raised an eyebrow. He chuckled nervously.
"Your glare is as scary as Nico's.."
"I guess it's a sibling thing." I mentally facepalmed. Sibling? Lul sure.
"I'll see you later um..?"
"Nico- Nicole!" I laughed nervously before shadow travelling away.
Socializing as a girl?
Failed!
I wonder why Percy was on his way to the Big House though?
Maybe some other hero thing.
I noticed a huge crowd at the pavilion, curious, I decided to investigate. As I walked over, I heard my name in the conversation.. More gossip? Goody. I turned around on my heel, heading back to my cabin. Then I heard my name.
"People, we have to find Nico!" Percy.
"Why should we look for that creep?"
Percy got up so quick, I didn't breathe.
Percy was at guy's throat, Riptide close to leaving blood.
"Do not, ever, talk about Nico that way!" He hissed, his lips forming a snarl.
Holy gods. Percy was standing up for me. I felt myself heat up.
"Stop, Percy, please!" Annabeth's voice. I shuddered. They were pulling Percy back, but Percy was struggling.
"Dude, we have to find Nico before Percy kills a dude!" Leo was laughing nervously. Why are they looking for me? I agree with the dude. I don't need anyone looking for me, especially Percy. I shadow traveled near a table and found myself climbing onto it. I spread my arms out like an eagle before flight.
"Knock it the hell off!" I shouted.
"Why should we listen to you?" "Yeah!"
"Because I know where the fuck Nico is! So quit your sappy worrying and move on!"
"Seriously, dude, where?!" The seven, including Jason, Hazel, and Frank, came up to me. Hazel, Jason, and Frank came to Camp Half Blood in the event to search for me. My sister was on the verge of tears, Frank holding her. Jason looked so freaked out and scared. I then realized these people truly did need me. I hesitated.
"He wanted it secret."
"You asshole, tell me where he is before I slit your throat!" Jason snarled at me.
"Jason! She should know where he is." Percy held Riptide at a threatening angle.
"Why?" Sarcasm, I could tell, being the king of sarcasm.
"I just know, okay? And he doesn't want me telling you, so shut the hell up!"
"You dick!" Jason came at me, I grabbed his arm and twisted. He gasped, falling to the floor, clutching his arm. I grabbed him and shadow traveled us to the woods.
"Jason, it's me, you retard!"
"Nico?"
"I woke up a girl and I don't know why. So will you stop trying to kill me because I'd seriously appreciate it." He sighed. I groaned. Why does it always end up as Jason knowing my secrets? That's just bullshit.
"Well, let's go back there so they know we didn't kill each other.." I grabbed his arm and we fell onto the floor.
"Jason!" Piper yelled out. She ran over to me and glared at me.
"I wouldn't do it, Beauty Queen." I growled. She backed off while holding Jason.
"Nic-!" Jason gasped and stopped himself.
"Her name is Nicole, Jason.. Not Nick." Percy stated. His head is FULL of seaweed.
"I'm outta here." I mumbled, trudging towards my cabin.
_LINEBREAK_
I was curled up in a ball, tears soaked in my pillow when a knock echoed throughout the cabin. I opened the door and tensed up as Percy stood at my door.
"What?" I asked.
"Your eyes look really red. Were you crying..?" I might as well tell him. He doesn't know it's me. Fresh new start right?
"Well.. Yes."
"Why?"
"Well.. How do I explain it..? Have you ever felt like your life didn't mean anything?" Suddenly I was being hugged. Hugged.
"I-um-really-don't-like-hugs-im-sorry" He raised an eyebrow before letting go and laughing.
"You're exactly like Nico. Are you sure you aren't him?" He was laughing and I froze. Did he know!?
"Yes! Why would I be Nico?" I asked, laughing nervously.
"I don't know! Anyways, can I trust you with a secret?"
"Sure?"
"I'm gay.. And I think I like your brother, Nico." Holy shit!
"Really?"
"You're not disgusted?"
"Why would I be?"
"I just thought-"
"Dude, don't worry. I'm okay with it." He sighed in relief.
_LINEBREAK_
Percy and I became great friends. I wasn't anti-social like I used to be.. Being a girl was great, besides the 'monthly' thing. Two months later, everyone gave up on the search for me except Percy. I never realized how much Percy cared. He and I heading to the dining pavilion.
*PERCYS POV*
Nicole and I were becoming best friends. People shipped us around a month ago when Annabeth and I broke up.
"Are you hungry?" I asked.
"Perce, I'm always hungry!"
"Well cool, let's get some food." We slowly made our way to pavilion when Nicole looked sick.
"What is it?" I asked, concerned and putting my hands on her shoulders. She lifted her fingertips to her forehead before saying..
"I don't feel so-" And then she collapsed. I screamed for help and reached down to find a pulse.
There was none.
The Apollo campers rushed over and I carried her bridal-style to the infirmary. Chiron came rushing over when Nicole started to grow insanely cold. Shadows came from the ground and covered her into a huge black blob. I screamed, dropping her. The shadows then pulled away to reveal..
Nico Di Angelo.
-LINEBREAK_
*NICOS POV*
I groaned.
"What the hell?" I muttered.
"Nico!" Hazel screamed.
"What? Aren't I a-"
"Nico, son, the spell wore off." Chirom muttered.
"Seriously? This is great! I have a dick again!"
"Nico! Language!"
"Not sorry."
"Hey, where's Percy?" I asked.
"At the lake. He looks depressed." I reached my hand to a shadow.
"You're not fully-!"
I found myself falling right next to Percy. I yelled and he got startled and scrambled away, yelling. When I finally stood up, he looked at me.
"Nico?" I sat down and hugged my knees to my chest.
"Yo."
"You were Nicole this whole time huh?"
"Percy, listen I'm sorry I didn't tell-"
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Percy wait-"
"Why?!"
"We had such a good friendship.. One that we never had. I didn't want to ruin it." I felt the tears coming down my cheeks.
"You already did! You're just a failure who can't make any friends."
"Well sorry for being such a disappointment to you.." I mumbled, my voice cracking. I should've known he would think of me like everyone else. I started to stand up, brushing the dirt off.
"Nico, wait. I'm sorry, please.."
"There's no point in apologizing." He grabbed my arm and I fell on top of him as he kissed me.
Well that escalated quickly.
"How did you not know I liked you, Percy?"
"My brain is full of seaweed if you haven't noticed." I laughed before kissing him again.
"You taste like pomegranates."
"You taste like sea water."
Leo peeked out from behind the tree with the rest of the seven.
"I ship it so hard," Leo whispered, and pulled out a toy Argo II to prove his point.
You could hear the rest of the Seven, laughing.
Then screaming as Nico had found them and rose up skeleton soldiers.
Just a normal day.
