My attempt at Percico. I started reading some fanfics so I started to ship it a little. Read the authors note at the bottom for more important information.

So here we go! I apologize for the crappiness of this. Its 4:39 am here.

Read on Nerds.

"Nico?! What are you doing?!" Jason exclaimed, seeing the smaller demigod pack stuff into a backpack. And his cabin bare, there was nothing but an empty closet, 4 full beds (for guests and Hazel when she visited), a nightstand with a lamp on it, and a bare bathroom. It looked like no one lived here.

Except for the son of Hades slipping into a small backpack. Saddest part? The bag was barely full.

"What does it look like I'm doing Grace? I'm planning a tea party." Came the sarcastic reply, packed with a cold glare.

"Nico." The voice was firm and stern.

"…"

"I'm leaving Grace."

"Why?!" Jason cried. "You have friends, a home and you were happy!"

Nico was scowling at Jason. "I never stayed in one place too long Grace. You know that. And you also know why don't make me say it" Jason levelled a fierce glare at him.

"So you're giving up all your happiness because of one person. And he even broke up with Annabeth! This is the worst time to leave!" Jason said fiercely. Nico sighed. He knew this would happen.

'This is what happens when you have friends' the thought brought a wry smile to his face.

"Jason I tried, I really did. No matter what, I was never really happy. Not fully. And perhaps I won't ever be." Jason's face turned pained at his words and opened his mouth to interrupt but closed it at Nico's fierce glare.

"I knew I don't have a chance Grace. I know my odds. But I can't sit here and plaster on a fake smile while he gets together with someone else. I'm sorry, but I would be a fool to make myself suffer more." A dry smile came to Nico's lips. "Besides, I never really had a home"

And before Jason could react the son of hades was hugging him tightly. "Take good care of him" Jason didn't have to ask who 'him' was. It was obvious. And before he could hug back the boy was already out the door, his last words ringing in his ears.

"Thank you for everything Jason and goodbye friend"

Now Jason supposed this was where it was supposed to end. The son of hades leaving thinking no one else cared and wondering around till he killed himself or a monster did. And there was nothing he could do.

Well screw that.

And that's how the son of Jupiter ended up pounding on cabin 3's door then explaining everything to Percy in record time only to have the idiot run off before he finished the first sentence. He only got 6 words out before Percy was running. But those words were all he needed.

"Nico is leaving camp right now-"

"Nico is leaving camp right now-"

And those words shot Percy running to the border where no doubt Nico would look at what he was leaving one last time before disappearing.

Well if Percy didn't have a say in it that is.

What was that idiot thinking?! Abandoning everyone! Abandoning him?! His happiness?! Right after the break up too. It hadn't even been what? 2 weeks?

Percy admitted that he felt bad about it but it was neutral. Annabeth wanted someone to converse about architecture and her stuff. She wanted to pretend that Tartarus never happened and live somewhat of a normal life out in the real word.

Percy, finding out about his new found sexuality as bi, thanks to a hot Italian who had eaten and trained more, and stuck around long enough for Percy to realize that he liked the child of hades. Because he was Nico. The son of hades who risked everything over and over again for him.

So when he heard news of Nico leaving camp, Percy was more than upset. So excuse him if he wanted to at least know why Nico was leaving!

Percy sighed in relief when seeing Nico petting Mrs. O'Leary and looking down at the camp from Thalia's tree. "Nico!" he called. He stopped to catch his breath as he watched Nico get up, his obvious muscles stretching with the movements and-

FOCUS PERCY.

"What Percy?" Nico asked, in his usual monotone. Percy caught the sight of a backpack leaning against the tree and Percy's heart sank. So it was true. He was leaving.

Well not anymore.

"Why are you leaving?!" Percy couldn't help but blurt. Nico scowled.

"I'm going to kill Jason" he muttered.

"Well?" Percy growled, getting impatient. Nico turned a cold glare on him.

"I don't think that's any of your business." was all he said and shrugged the backpack on one shoulder and was ready to shadow travel away.

Well Percy couldn't have that, could he? Later on, he was going to think that maybe this wasn't the best option but hey, Percy wasn't known for taking the best option. So what did he do?

He tacked Nico and wrestled with him until he was straddling him and had his arms pinned down. Percy refused to acknowledge their position.

"Percy! Get off of me!"

"No. Not until you tell me why you're leaving!" Nico stopped struggling and looked at Percy. Almost like he was debating something. In the end he huffed and relaxed. Percy, being confused slackened his grip slightly.

That's all Nico needed. Percy forgot this wasn't the scrawny boy he rescued.

Nico freed his arms and pushed Percy off of him. Percy fell on his back next to Nico and in a blink of an eye their positions was reversed. Nico was pinning Percy down now.

"You want to know so badly? Fine" Percy was about to retort that, that was the only thing he wanted to know from the beginning. But his brain short circuited the minute he felt a pair of cool lips touched his.

Nico di Angelo was kissing Percy Jackson.

And it was the best freaking thing in the world. But it didn't last long.

Still being shocked, Percy didn't notice the boy rolling off him and slugging his backpack on until he heard the noise.

"Wait! Does this mean-"

Percy never got to finish that thought, with a glance Nico was gone into the swirling shadows.

Leaving Percy with a billion question, no answers and a tingling sensation on his lips.

"Fine he wants to play this game? I'm up to it. Just you wait di Angelo. You haven't seen the last of me. And don't think that was my last kiss." Percy spoke to empty air but it made Percy more determined to find the dark Italian.

Besides, Percy wanted another kiss.

So? How was it? I randomly decided to write this at 4 am in the morning. So sorry it sucks.

And don't worry, I still ship Percabeth way more, but I think Percico is cute too. And I'll be updating my other story too.

So? Leave a review! Should I continue this or ….?

Tell me your thoughts. Also I was thinking of trying some lemon…? I don't think I'll be very good since I'm REALLY awkward but I want the full writing experience.

So leave your thoughts if you want me to ATTEMPT some smut or not. And if I should continue this as it is.

Alright! Thanks!
