Percy really did not want to be in the bar. The smell of the alcohol brought back far too many memories of Smelly Gabe and the sad that used to hide behind his mothers smile. But he was not here for him. He was here so that he could take Nico home after he was noticeably drunk instead of having to shadow travel. Percy should have just stopped Nico from drinking at all. He was under age. He had no fake ID, he simply used the mist to his advantage.
Nico had been coming to this bar ever since Will Solace had disappeared on that quest a year ago. He had gotten even more depressed and hid behind his hoodies. Percy knew that Will would not have wanted this for Nico. Will would have disapproved of this unhealthy habit. Percy spotted Nico across the room in the dark corner. Percy wanted to walk over and help him. He wanted to take Nico out of this wretched place. He didn't want Nico to have anything in common with Smelly Gabe. Percy moved toward the table Nico was at. He stood over the boy, trying to muster an angry scowl instead of a sad frown.

"Nico," Percy began.

Nico did not even look up. He gave no acknowledgment of Percy's presence. He instead slumped over the table and breathed slowly. Percy reached over and took the drink from Nico's hand. He picked Nico up and held him in his arms. Nico's delicate face had the odor of alcohol. Percy walked out of the bar without a care if people gave him weird looks. Nico wrapped his arm around Percy instinctively. Will always used to carry him around when Nico refused to go places. Percy smirked to himself.

"Still not your type, Nico?" Percy chuckled.

When he walked into camp, it was still dark out. The entire camp was asleep. Except for one daughter of Athena. Annabeth had seen Percy follow Nico out of Camp. She peered out of the window watching as Percy carried Nico's sleeping body into the Poseidon Cabin. Annabeth wasn't a jealous girlfriend. She knew Percy. She knew he was probably just helping Nico with the loss of Will. Still, she had to ask him about.

Tomorrow Annabeth thought.

When Percy got inside the cabin, he put Nico down on his bed. He went to put blankets on the bed Tyson used when he visited. As he placed the blankets on the bed, he heard a whimper come from Nico. Percy walked over to Nico and picked him up.
"Shh, shh. It's ok Nico. Its just a nightmare" Percy whispered gently. He placed Nico on Tyson's bed and then went to bed himself.

The next day Percy woke up first. He assumed that Nico would not feel too good so he went out to get ambrosia. While he was gone, Nico woke up. He had no idea where he was. The only memory he had was of Percy holding him.
Of course I only remember Percy. It was probably some dream Nico thought miserably.
There was a loud knock on the door. The sound did not make his head ache better. He heard a high-pitched voice. He barely understood the words being said outside. It sounded like an argument between Annabeth and Percy about why she can't go into the cabin. When he finally began understanding a word or two Percy came in with some ambrosia.

"Oh hey you're awake!" Percy greeted.

Nico nodded and did not really say much. When he spotted the ambrosia he wondered if he had gotten into a fight last night at the bar. Percy followed his gaze and his grip on the ambrosia tightened.

"W-what happened last night, Percy" Nico asked.

"Well I followed you-"

"You followed me? You stalked me?" Nico interrupted. Percy could see him blushing a little bit.

"Well, yeah. Nico, I know that you have been drinking a lot. I just don't want you to get hurt." Percy told him.

"Physically hurt, right? Because if you didn't want me emotionally hurt, wouldn't you be out there looking for my boyfriend?" Nico demanded.

At the word boyfriend Percy flinched. Nico went to get up. He fell out of the bed. Percy went to catch him. They collided and their faces hit each other. Outside of the window, Travis and Conner took a picture. They always loved causing trouble and wouldn't mind having some entertaining drama around camp.
