Percy aka Sea King
Nico aka Pale Ghost
P- Hey, I know you must get a lot of these messages but I just wanted you to know that I love your stories. They are amazing.
N- Hello! I'm glad you like them. It's nice to know someone reads them.
Oh wow, I never actually thought you would message me back tbh. Of course someone reads them. I've read all of them like five time! Gods that totally sounds like I'm a stalker.
Why wouldn't I message you back? It's always nice to read someone who likes my work. And I've seen your comments! I'm so glad you like them so much. Just kind of borderline stalker but I don't mind lol.
Oh only borderline? I guess I'll have to my game ;) And I don't know, you're like a writing god and I am just a simple onlooker in your grand scheme.
Guess you will have to try harder haha. I am no god, just a simple man trying to appease the crowds.
Don't tempt me, I will pull out all the stops. Let's see, I have a smartphone, some duct tape, and gum. I got this lol just you wait, give me a week and I'll know everything about you! Consider the crowds very appeased, well never mind I take that back. I demand an update!
Oh I'm so sure you are going to find out all about me with those high tech gadgets. I'm shaking in my pajama pants. Update, hmm update? Is that scheduled for today?
Pajama pants? That sounds too comfy, I am not allowing comfy until I know what happens between Apollo and Nick! I must know, I demand answers!
I will be as comfy as I please. I am God remember? Alas young peasant, be careful what you wish for. That might bring more pain than joy.
I don't care! I need to know! Does Apollo stand up to Zeus and yell his love down from the heavens?
You did say you read all of my work right? Because you might be confusing me with someone else if that's what you expect.
One can hope! Don't crush my romantic dreams of what can one day be… :.(
I would say sorry but if you want happy romance, my stories aren't really one for that tbh.
I know. That doesn't stop me from loving them and hoping that one day it won't be so tragic lol. Your stories are so heart wrenching but beautiful. It's hard not to fall in love and crave more.
Well you can keep hoping and maybe one day that will happen. Until then, just be prepared for heart wrenching. I'll give you that tip for free.
I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for good luck. You can never be prepared for your kind of heart wrenching. The way you do it is just, so unexpected. Like you make me think that things will be okay and then BAM hit me with the heartbreak.
You might get cramps from crossing them so long lol. I like to be unexpected. It keeps people on their toes.
Well all 500,000 of your readers are certainly on their toes but one in particular. I think his screen name is Sea King? Yeah he's really anxious right now.
Sea King? I think I've seen his name around he comments on a few of my stories here and there. I mean if he really wants to know, I think I know someone who might be able to help him out.
What?! I'm sure he would be forever grateful if you did said thing. :D
Well a fair warning, he might not like the results.
I don't think he cares, he's more worried about what's to come.
You/he asked for it.
:D !
Apollo left Nick with the promise that he would return to his lover. He called forth his chariot of light and stormed to Olympus. Nick watched him with a feeling of worry. He had to close his eyes as the God sped off or else be blinded. Apollo flew right to the golden gates of his home and jumped out of his chariot before the horses even stopped. He ran to throne room only to find it empty. He yelled for his father, demanding and audience with him. Seconds later thunder cracked overhead and a light flashed then silence. In front of Apollo stood the blinding figure of his father. "I know what you want. You know it is forbidden." Zeus bellowed. "No father. You don't. Make me mortal. I wish to be with him." Zeus stared at his son in shock, that was not what he had expected to hear. For months Apollo had been begging to make the mortal a god. "You know not what you ask for. If you become mortal then the balance here tips and life as we know it will forever be changed. A god simply can not become a mortal." Zeus said, working himself up. "I can if you allow it. Father I must be with him. I have been with mortals and I have been with gods, nothing compares to what I feel for him. I would give up being immortal to have a short life with Nick." Apollo pleaded.
Back on earth Nick laid on his hammock looking at the sky and waiting. He had had a bad feeling in his gut since Apollo left and he just couldn't shake it. An hour after his lover left he had roamed the streets until he found his way home. Ever since then he had been laying out in his hammock staring at the sky and waiting. Nick waited so long his eyelids begin to droop and when he opened them next, it was dark out. Artemis had come and gone and he hadn't even noticed. He started to grow worried. He paced his backyard and waited for Apollo. He clutched the pendent his lover had given him to his chest and he prayed to whoever would listen that Apollo would hurry back. Then, from the fence he heard a noise. He thought it was his lover but Apollo liked to make a flashy entrance. Nick ran to the gate and threw it open. For a second, the night went still, almost like it was holding it's breath. Nick looked up and was met with the cruel smile of a woman. In her hands she held scepter that was run through him. "So you are the mortal that has caught the attention of my dear Apollo? You aren't much." She commented, taking him all in. Nick's' vision was fading and he couldn't comprehend what she was saying. "Oh you mortals die so quickly. It's a wonder any of them pay attention to you." She continued on. "Who.. who are.. you?" Nick gasped, grabbing the object that was sticking into his stomach. "You don't recognize me? Why I am Hera. I'm sure Apollo has told you all about me." Her face bluing in Nick's vision. "You..you.." Nick couldn't even finish his sentence. His vision had gone dark and his ears were ringing. He felt a tugging on his arm and then his vision was back. He looked over to see a dark shadow pulling him. He stepped over to follow and he saw his body fall to the ground, Hera standing over him with her bloody scepter. Nick was confused at first but quickly realized that he was on his way to the Underworld. He didn't feel anything really, just a bit sad that he couldn't of said goodbye to Apollo. He descended to the Underworld with the last image in his mind that of Hera standing over him smiling sweetly down at him.
Hours felt like days when arguing with Zeus. However, Apollo had finally won the argument. He waited for his sister to finish her run to say goodbye. She was happy for him but sad at the same time. He stood in front of his father and knelt. This would be the last time he ever saw Olympus. He was okay with that. He was minutes away from being with his true love. His father gave him one more chance to back out but he refused. He wanted this. So Zeus did it, he turned his son mortal and cast him down from Olympus. Apollo raced the house he had grown to love. The lights were off which was normal. Nick was probably asleep on the hammock waiting for him. He raced through the house and out the backdoor. The sight before he was not what he had expected. His lover was sprawled out in a pool of blood. Apollo ran to his side. It looked like Nick was sleeping and Apollo almost would've believed it if it weren't for the gaping hole in his stomach. "NICK!" Apollo's cries reached the heavens. The gods mourned for the poor mortals loss, Zeus more than the rest. Storms lashed out and the rain poured from the heavens, almost as if the father was crying for the loss his son had suffered. Apollo held on all through the night, weeping for his lost love.
… Um what did I just read?
I warned you but you just had to know.
No no no, Sea King wanted to know. Percy wasn't ready for that.
Are you talking about yourself in third person or are you really talking about a friend? Cuz I'm really confused.
Lol sorry. I was being funny. Yea I'm talking about myself. I'm Percy lol nice to meet you. Anyway, that ending was just.. WOW it was amazing, tragic but beautiful.
Oh ok lol. I'm Nico. Do you really like it? It's really not that great.
What are you kidding? It was amazing. I almost felt like I was Nick, minus the whole getting stabbed part. The dying I can relate to, I felt like I was gonna die when Apollo found Nick. You just had to make him mortal too late. Nico? Your name is Nico? You wouldn't happen to be Nick would you?
Life is full of heartbreak and missed opportunities. I'm going to make sure the whole chapter is error free then I'm going to post it. Hopefully it will be before midnight. Yes my name is Nico not Nick, so no Nick is not me. I am Nico, are you slow? Lol.
You sound like you are a master of heartbreak. Break a lot of girls hearts lol jk. I will be waiting, not so patiently, for the update even though I know the ending. I can hope it will change between now and then :P Okay okay sorry! Nico, I think I got it.
Life is cruel. Just something I've learned to live with this. As far as girls go, we won't get on that subject. Well I will try not to disappoint my number one fan ha. Good now make sure you don't forget lol.
Life is cruel, I will drink to that, some blue koolaid that is. Girls are nothing but trouble… best not to talk about them, I agree there. What number one fan? I get that title?! I'm honored. I shall live up to it too! Okay okay Nick, I mean Nico! ;D
Blue koolaid? I guess if that's what you're into. I prefer Coke. I mean if you want another title I'm sure I could come up with. I can't give you number one stalker because you can't even remember my name. You're like number 105? Maybe.. not sure I'd have to check my leaderboard.
Yes blue koolaid, it's the best! What 105? No, I need to try harder! I must turn on this contraction and it will tell me all. Okay here we go I think I got it working… It says that you're out of milk.
Oh it looks like you move up some, 95 now. I am out of milk but that's only because I don't drink it. Points for that guess though.
95? That's not okay, I must be number one! Let's try this again. It says you need to put a shirt on and update!
Oh look 93. You're getting there lol.
Only 93? Damn what do I have to do to make it to number one?
Let's see, well the current number one sent me $100 ever day for a month.
I can't tell if you're joking or serious. o.O
Well send me $100 for two months and I'll let you know where you stand.
I would need your address for that.
That's the fun part, you have to find out the address, that's part of what makes you number one and all.
Let me just get right on that, however I can't promise the money. I might just stare at you through your window until you update ;P
Money or no update. Hey I like that. Maybe if I put my up and tell them that the more I get paid the quicker I update. I like the sound of that. You get moved to 92 for the idea.
What?! NO! That wasn't the idea! However if you do make some profit I claim 25%. It was my idea.
25%? More like 5%. How about I move you up to 80 and give you 2%?
What? That's not even fair! If you won't share in the money then at least move me higher!
Fine 92 for you and no money. *Shrugs* fine by me haha.
Oh that's not even.. NOTIFICATION I MUST GO READ! brb!
Take your time and try not to cry lol.
I couldn't face you until the tears stopped.
I read your comment. I couldn't help but laugh. You KNEW the ending.
A man can hope! Now here I am, all dried up from crying with a tub of ice cream to console me.
Oh come on, it wasn't that bad…
No it wasn't bad, it was tragic. None of your stories ever end with the couple ending up together and they get separated in some tragic way. Oh I have an idea! For a second story you can have Apollo go to the Underworld and save Nick! He can talk his uncle into overlooking Nick's death and bring him back and they live happily ever after! :DDD
Life doesn't have happy endings. I just write what would happen. Hmm that sounds interesting. I might write about a journey to the Underworld…
Oh that doesn't sound good, you didn't add HAPPY EVER AFTER to that sentence. I sense more sorrow.
You're catching on quick. I think I'll keep you around lol.
I knew it! Maybe I should write the happy ending ha.
Be my guest. I would gladly hand Nick over to you to see what you would do with him.
What really? I was kidding! I can't write to save my life, I stick to reading.
Well then I'm sure Nick and Apollo will get some sort of ending then but I do like the idea for part two. I think I might try and type up an outline and see how that goes… Hmm…
What really? You like the idea?
Yea why, is that hard to believe?
Well, I mean just a few hours ago you were this godly figure that wrote the best stories in the world and I never would have thought that you would talk to me, much less use and idea of mine and now you are just a milkless, pajama wearing, tease xD
I mean, I can keep the title of god if that helps. It's a good idea, I like good ideas. Pajamas are comfy when it's midnight. I don't know about you but I like to be comfortable as I lay in bed and write stories that break people's hearts. Someone has to win in this deal. As far as tease, I don't know how I am that.
You are a tease because you COULD write happy but instead just sorrow. I know you could write happy, you have it in you deep, deep down.
It might be deeper than you think.
I'm sure it's not that deep down. I think you just like the tears of your readers. That's what keeps you going! It's your fuel isn't it?!
Oh no! You have figured out my secret. Now you must die.
No I won't tell anyone I promise! Please let me live, I must see a happy ending written by the Pale Ghost before I die.
I think you might die before then. Just a warning lol.
Your name should be Dream Crusher xD
Maybe I should change it. It's a fitting title. Then you can be Number 92 lol.
Oh you got jokes. Soooo funny lol. I will make it to number one just you wait.
I might write a happy ending by the time you reach number one. :P
Goals we have goals now! I will reach one and then I will get my happy ending!
Whatever floats your boat. Anyway it's past one in the morning and I have day of crushing dreams tomorrow so I better head to bed.
Well it's been fun talking to you! If you want to message me on Kik it's a bit easier. My username is SeaKing ^^
Ok cool. I'll message you tomorrow. I'm sure you will know it's me. Night.
G'night Dream Crusher!
Hey! So this is my first Percy Jackson/HoO story. I started this before I finished the books and I really liked the Percy/Nico ship. However after I finished the whole series, I fell in love with the cannon ship. I have a story for that that I will post at a later date. Until then enjoy this one. Also this is the first time I've ever writing a texting au so I'm sorry if it's not 100% perfect. If anything is confusing, feel free to speak up and let me know.
I will also have it up on Archive of Our Own. Also I would like to say thanks to my amazing bae who had been here from the start helping me write it and fixing up my mistakes! Love you 3
