Percy woke up and noticed Nico has disappeared he frantically looked for him even though he knew he wouldn't find him. Annabeth noticed the commotion downstairs and walked down the stair to see Percy with a look of desperation. She frowned and immediately looked around the apartment was it ransacked? No. It was fine.

"He's gone." Percy told her heartbroken and leaned on the wall in hurt expression.

Percy couldn't help but to worry for Nico he wanted to protect him he wanted to show him what it be like to have friends and laugh over stupid things. He wanted to give Nico a world of his somewhere where he wouldn't feel so left out. Every time he tried to get him alone it never ended well.. Nico was a escape artist. Nico didn't have to like being alone no one does...

Annabeth tried to make Percy feel better by making him blue cookies he nibbled them half hearty. Apparently Will managed to know about Nico's return, yet he came a tad to late.

"Sorry, he's gone..." Percy apologized.

Will sighed, he did have something to want to tell to him but he was scared to even mentioned it. Ok, so it maybe had something to do with a time they spent alone.. after finally giving himself courage to go over to Percy and Annabeth's place he already left. He sat down next to Percy and leaned on his shoulder a mutual unspeaked understanding crossed through them.

"It's ok, It's a very Nico thing for him to do.." Will told no one in particular, Percy hummed in agreement he offered Will a cookie.

"Cookie?" He asked. Will smiled, "Sure."

They spent the rest of the afternoon in their apartment. After lunch Annabeth and Will went over to work in the living room, Percy escaped to his room. Will had to stay over since he and Annabeth were working on a new project building a tribute to Apollo. They were arguing over how many floors and windows the building needed.

"But its already 12 floors!" Annabeth complained, "With 12 units do you really need a window on every wall? That's impossible!"

"Yes! Because my father is the sun god the building needs to have all the sunlight it can!"

Will complained.

Annabeth groaned a building with windows on every floor wouldn't be logical she sure as hell isn't making a glass building. She held him by his shoulders and tried to shake some sense into him.

"Will I can put windows to let you get all the fucking sun you want, but not every goddamn wall of them understood? The building wouldn't last if we did that."

"You better listen to her now or feel her wrath." Percy called from his room.

Will snickered, "Shut the fuck up seaweed brain!" Annabeth warned it was followed by laughter.

"So.." Landmine activated! "Did you ask Percy yet?" Annabeth instantly turned into a shade of red and didn't meet his eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about Will?" She was pretending to be busy by drawing extra lines.

"Oh we both know what the hell i'm talking about, hell you living here together I though you guys were already together what the hell happened?"

"We both need some time." She whispered.

"What time? You have each other here so what are you waiting for?"

What was Annabeth waiting for? She could ask him right now get it over with, reject or accept its so simple so what is keeping her?

She remember the day Percy took her to buy Nico's gift. Percy remembered many details that she didn't knew could have existed of Nico but she also noticed something else.. the expression he had when he talked about Nico... pull it together girl! She blinked the tears fighting that were fighting to come out.

"It's just not the right time.." she trailed off, looking across the room to stare at nothing.

"What about you? Got anyone special?" She smirked hitting his arm.

"I... once upon a time.. hey this isn't about me!"

Percy came in to the room to see Will and Annabeth laughing he smiled, he liked days like this he only wish they could last forever... but he knew someone was missing.. he sighed, Grover reported earlier while he was in his room that Nico was no where to be found it seemed that he fell of the face of the earth again. He wouldn't accept it if he had to go into Hades realm just to find him again he will.. what every it takes he will get him back. Percy was determined.
