We are back again with a new story idea. This one is one we have played with for a couple of months now. It is Nicercy so if you don't like that, we are sorry to inform you to look else where. This story takes place after the fall of Gaia and the Giants. Right now it is simply title Thinking of the Future, but we are always willing to change it if someone has a great idea. This first chapter happens the day after the war and the day before the end of war celebration. We hope you enjoy! -Orion

P.S. - This story will have small Author Notes at the end of each chapter telling what is coming up and our thoughts on the chapter.

Thinking of the Future by Theseus and Orion Stark ~~~~~~~~~~

Main Pairings: Percabeth(Past), Nicercy

Side Pairings: Reyna/Annabeth, Piper/Jason, Clarisse/Chris, Katie/Malcolm, Will/Jake, Leo/Hazel/Frank

Summary: Gaia has fallen. Percy realizes he's gay, but after Annabeth realizes that she is as well. They mutually break up to go after the ones they truly care for. Percy goes after the one guy who had his back for the longest, Nico di Angelo Son of Hades. Percy just wants to make Nico happy and have a happy life with him. The gods have offered him Godhood again and this time he really thinks about, but when they don't offer Nico it he refuses.

My name is Percy Jackson. I am the son of the Greek God Poseidon. I am the Savior of Olympus twice now. I will most likely be asked to become a god again, which I will probably refuse again. That's right I have been asked to become a god on the Olympian Council and I have turned it down. Why you might ask. Well the answer is simple at the time I was asked I was in love with a girl named Annabeth Chase she is a daughter of Athena and was until just days ago my girlfriend. Why isn't she my girlfriend anymore? Well, she started having feelings for someone else the same as I was. The only problem seemed to be that I was starting to fall for a boy named Nico di Angelo and she was falling for a girl name Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano. That's right we had both realized that we were in fact not straight, but gay. How about I just tell you about the day that we realized this?

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~

"JACKSON!" Jason yelled.

"What's up Jason?" I asked.

"We need to talk," he replied, "in private."

I followed him down to his cabin on the Argo II. "Perce, listen," he started. "Nico didn't want me to say anything to you, in fact he made me swear it, but I need to get it off my chest before either of you two do something stupid. Nico is in love with you. He has been for a while. I think you should talk to him tonight after dinner and let him down easy."

"I may not have to let him down at all," I whispered.

"What are you saying Perce?"

"I don't think I'm in love with Annabeth in a romantic way. I don't think I ever was. I think I'm gay," I replied blushing.

"When did you figure it out?"

"After the pit," I replied not wanting to say the true name of Tartarus. "I think Annabeth's heart is with someone else anyways."

"You two should talk before you talk to Nico," Jason said. "Hades this trip keeps getting better."

"You shouldn't use his name like that," I said. "It's kinda rude to use someone's name as a curse."

"Right," Jason nodded. "Go talk to Annabeth and figure yourself out. Once you're done, please talk to Nico. You need to before we get to Athens tomorrow."

"On it," I said leaving Jason's cabin and heading towards Annabeth's. When I got there my heart was racing and my legs felt like they were melting. I reached up and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Annabeth called from the other side.

"It's Percy," I replied. "I think we need to talk."

I heard her get up and walk over to the door. This made my heart go even faster and I began shaking because of the nerves.

"What do we need to talk about?" she asked as she opened the door.

"Us," I replied with a frown.

"Come in," she said holding the door open. I walked in and sat on the desk chair as she sat on her bed. "What is the matter with us?"

"I don't think I'm in love with you," I replied. "I don't think I ever have been. Well at least not in the romantic way. I mean I love you, but-"

"As a sister not a girlfriend," she finished. "I get it. I've been thinking about my feelings since we got out of the pit. I think of you as an annoying brother more than a lover. I also kind of have a crush on someone else."

"So do I," I blushed from the embarrassment.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," she blushed.

"I-I-I'm in l-love with N-Nico," I stammered. "I'm g-gay. I think I always have been."

"Thank gods," she said almost sounding relieved. "I'm gay too Perce. I fell hard for Reyna and she's all I've been thinking about since she got back from New York."

"Then we should talk to them," I suggested. "Perhaps after our final feast before landing in Athens in the morning," I added.

"Right," she agreed and hugged me. "Let's go have dinner it's almost time anyway."

We then headed up to the mess hall and were greeted by our friends all except for Nico, Reyna, Piper, and Jason had arrived. Once everyone had arrived I stood to make an announcement. "Friends, now wait family, we are heading towards war. By sunrise tomorrow we will be on the battlefield and meeting our fellow friends and family and joining arms in battle. We feast tonight not only for good fortune in battle, but as a last supper of sorts. The seven of the Prophecy of Seven sit at the table with two of their greatest allies. Greeks and Romans are united under one banner and march on the original Mt. Olympus. By tomorrow at this time we will either be dead or victorious. Let us feast as family."

"CHEERS!" the rest of the crew said at once. We all started piling food onto our plates. As we are for one last meal together before battle, tonight was the last night to share feelings and food with friends and family.

After dinner was over I walked over to Nico as Annabeth had already left with Reyna to talk. "Hey," I started. "Do you think we could go somewhere to talk?"

"Sure," Nico replied and led me to his cabin. "What is it you want to talk about?"

"Jason told me about what happened during your encounter with Cupid," I answered and he started fuming. "I know you made him swear not to say anything, but please listen to me first. When you rescued me in the Labyrinth I started to love you like a little brother. When you saved me from Hades prison that you trapped me in, I thought of you as my best friend. When you fought beside me in the battle of New York, I started feeling confused about my feelings towards Annabeth. Gods, I was more confused on how I felt about you. Then when I saw you at Camp Jupiter I remembered you, but not completely. Then when we got to the giants and started fighting them I saw you in that jar and thought you were dead. It broke my heart. Then, you saved me again by traveling to the House of Hades and saving me and Annabeth from having to stay in Tartarus. That day I fell for you, hard. Not only because you are my savior, but because you are my friend and you have always been there for me."

"What are you trying to get at Percy?" Nico asked with tears in his eyes.

"Annabeth and I broke up a little bit ago because we both figured out we loved other people and the fact that we are both gay. I guess what I'm saying is that I love you Nico di Angelo and I have for a while now," I replied.

"I love you too Percy," Nico said with a smile. Then I did something I had wanted to for days. I leaned down and kissed Nico hard on the lips and he started to kiss back. Soon our tongues were exploring each other's mouths and battling for dominance. When we came back up for air, "wow," was the only thing either of us could say. As we cuddled there I slowly fell asleep as comfortable as I had ever been.

~~~~~~~FLASHBACK END~~~~~~~~~

That all happened two days ago, the following day we fought alongside all the Greek and Roman demigods as well as the Gods. The Giants fell and Gaia was put back to sleep. We all headed back to Camp Half-Blood afterwards for a feast and party. That is tonight and I am ready.

Author's Note: So, how was the chapter? We love it. Next chapter is the Party and the Awards Ceremony on Olympus. Also, some embarrassing moments from Sally and Paul! Until next time, Orion and Theseus Stark.
