It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss


Percy was at Nico's cabin. He had been spending a lot of time there since the war. He knew the boy's past crush, was at best an awkward conversation. So they didn't talk about. Percy enjoyed Nico's company. He didn't know why but if he was going to be honest with himself, he enjoyed spending time with Nico more than spending time with Jason, or Leo or even Annabeth bad boyfriend, he knows.

Nico is laughing. Percy is saying something and once again Nico's laughing.

Percy suggest they go for a swim. Nico smiles and nods. He lied. He told Percy he was over him. He told him it was childish crush. He lied, big time. The more time He spends with Percy the more he falls in love. He's a bad friend, he knows.

Nico's POV

"Hey Nico, let's go swimming, come it'll be fun"

Percy looks at me with those alluring pools of green.

"Ok, let's go"

He smiles brightly and cheers.

"Ok go inside and get changed, i'll wait for you, and then, when you're done i'll go change and we can head to the beach."

I nod and go inside my cabin. I really should put some brighter colors in here. Maybe gray?

I grab my swimming trunks and a tee-shirt.

I change quickly.

My bathing suit is black with tiny gray skulls and my tee-shirt is black with a blue swirly design on it.I put my shoes back on and {along with grabbing a towel} head outside.

We walk to his cabin silence. When get there he flashes me a bright smile and walks in his cabin. I sit on the steps of his cabin and wait.

A few minutes later Jason comes walking up and says "Whatcha doing waiting out here?"

"He's changing, We're going to the beach"

As soon as i'm done with my sentence Percy Walks out. "Hey Jay" He says closing the door behind him.

Jason smiles and waves to him.

Percy walks down the steps and I get up behind him. Percy ask Jason, "Hey Jason, wanna come swimming us."

I glare at Jason and he laughs. "I would but i don't think i'm wanted."

I soften my glare as Percy turns around. He laughs too and i blush.

Jason walks away and waves bye.

Percy walks next and bends down. He whispers in my ear " That was mean, telling him he couldn't come" i hear him chuckle and I push so he's not so close. "I didn't say anything"

Percy mumbles something, but before i can ask he says "race you to the beach" and takes off.

As soon as he can't see me, I reach towards the nearest shadow and shadow-travel to the beach. I sit on the dock and wait for him.

In about a minute he comes into view. I flash him a cocky grin and say " Took you long enough".

He walks over to me and sits down close to me. Like really close, like he's almost on top of me. I'm to busy trying to get my breathing under control that i don't notice what he's doing.

All of a sudden i'm by the cold, the wet, and the blue.

I come up for air, after being pushed and " What the heck Percy!?"

He laughs and jumps in, tackling me as well. I try to push him away but he holds on tight.

"Let me go Perseus" He puts an air bubble around us and lets me go. The bubble sinks underwater some. He cocks his head to the side, and he looks like a wounded puppy.

"Did i do something to you? I just wanted to be your friend Nico." He walks/ Floats closer to me and all of a sudden I realize just how small this bubble is. He stops when he's right in front of me. " I'm sorry, Nico, I didn't mean-"

And that's when i did it. I leaned forward and kiss him. It wasn't long but it was pure bliss for those few seconds. Then i backed away. The realization of what i did crashed down on me and i hurriedly shadow traveled away before he could say anything. What did I do? He has a girlfriend. One that he's happy with. What is wrong with me?

He's gonna hate me.

I wait a little bit before Iris messaging Jason.

When i do he's on his bed reading. Is that HARRY POTTER? Not the point.

"Jason," He jumps and looks around before he sees me "I messed up, really bad, I need help"

He sits up and closes his book. "What happened?"

I sigh and run a hand through my hair "i-i kissed, and he hates me Jay! I know he does."

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you"

I look at him glaring "Than you don't know anything" and swipe my hand through the mist.
