OK Here is the Third Chapter! I am so happy with all the feedback I received. To those who guessed what Apollo wanted well lets find out.


"Percy Jackson"

I looked up at Apollo in wonder after he said my name hoping he would at least tell what he was here for.

Apollo smirked and sat down on my bed "Sit down"

I did as told and sat on the bed across from him that Tyson sleeps on when he is here. Apollo looked at me with a smile.

"Percy when I first met you I knew you were someone special. Then when you came in with my fathers lighting bolt in hand. Also, the way you defeated my brother Ares. You were one of a kind. Us gods don't have much interaction with mortals outside of well making children. In my case I tend to interact with women a lot. However, I have gotten bored in recent years and all I want now is a friend. I want you to be that friend; I can't find a normal mortal and be their friend because it would be a lie. I figured out of all the demi-gods you would be the best choice, so what do you say?"

I stared at Apollo in astonishment, the all-powerful god who had way to many domains wanted to be my friend.

"Lord Apollo…"

"Please Percy call me Apollo I hate formalities"

"Apollo, I don't know what to say I always thought you were one of the coolest gods. If we are going to be friends how would you um want to do that?"

Apollo nodded his head at my question "Well it is simply really I want us to get to know each other first lets start with just having nightly meetings and then we can go from there. I want us to be comfortable with each other. Ok?"

"Yeah I can do that. So since we are going to be friends let's start now!"

I was suddenly very excited about all this I mean how many people can say that have the god Apollo as their friend.

Apollo chuckled and nodded "All right I'll start since I know more about you then you know me".

I nodded and got comfortable while Apollo did the same

"I was born to the Goddess Leto who as you know made giving birth to me and my sister very difficult. You know about my lovers and what happened to them so I will skip all that. My best friend is my brother Hermes we get into a lot of trouble together. I have many different abilities but most only know about my healing and my natural talent with a bow. I won't tell you all of them because I want to keep at least some things a secret. However, I will tell you this people know me as the god of medicine, poetry, music, and prophecy but they always forget that I am also the god of truth. So I know when I am lied to and I also cannot tell a lie but there are exceptions to that rule. Like when you first met me and I told you my name is Fred. That was the truth because in my mortal form my name is Fred and since I was a mortal then I was not lying."

"Oh wow that was a lot more than I was expecting but as you were talking I got to thinking friends help friends train. Will you be able to help train me?"

Apollo looked at me with a thoughtful look on his face for a minute. "I can train you in combat and I can help you with some of your abilities. Also with the benefit of being your friend you may call upon me whenever you need me."

"Really, you would allow me to do that?" I asked him

"Yes, I only give you this privilege because I know you would not abuse it. Now how about we talk about you tomorrow it is getting late and you need to sleep. Also, tomorrow for breakfast try to eat something with iron in it."

"Huh why?"

Apollo laughed "your iron levels are low you seem to like to eat more sugary and unhealthy foods than anything. Your training and your high metabolism is the only thing keeping you as thin and fit as you are."

I blushed knowing what he said was true "Can I make the food blue?"

Apollo smiled and nodded "yes you can make it blue. I must go, close your eyes."

I closed my eyes and waited until the light faded from behind my eyelids before opening them. I stood up and got ready for bed. Once I was under the covers I stared up at my ceiling and smiled. Being Apollo's friend seems like fun I thought. A few minutes later I was sound asleep.

The next morning I woke up to knocking on my door. I groaned and rolled over. "Come in"

I heard the door open and a whisper of "Percy" from the doorway.

I peeked out to see who was at the door. "Nico come here" I called

Nico closed the door and then I felt the covers lift and him get into bed beside me. I rolled over to face Nico. "What's up?"

Nico's face was bright red and was nervously twisting his skull ring on his finger. I was instantly alert and worried.

"Nico what's wrong? You can tell me"

"This may sound weird but.. um.. well"

"Yes?"

"Will you kiss me"

I looked at him in wonder ok I had to know what brought this on.

"uh why?"

"Well you see I was walking to breakfast when I overheard Will talking to his boyfriend Jake and I saw them kissing. I kept thinking about how I wanted someone to kiss me too and then I thought but I have never had my first kiss before and I don't want to just kiss some random stranger what if I am bad at it. Then thought but I can't just ask anyone they will think I am weird or something and since I am gay I can't kiss a girl and…"

I quickly put a finger to Nico's lips to get him to stop rambling. "So you thought to ask me, but Nico don't you want to have your first kiss with someone you love."

Nico shook his head "No, because I can't love anyone else. I know I am going to be a god I decided I am going to take my dad up on his offer and well. I wasn't being completely honest with you before. You are like my brother this is true but I can't love anyone else but you. I have tried, believe me, but I just don't see anyone else the way I see you. You are the only one who accepts me. Annabeth and Grover just tolerate me."

I stared at Nico in awe, just last night I became friends with Apollo, and now Nico is telling me he never stopped loving me. A warm feeling built up in my chest at that I didn't understand why but it just felt really good.

"Nico, I don't know what to say." I told him

Nico's face that had previously gone back to its original color turned red again. "You don't have to say anything I know you are straight but I just wanted to at least have my first kiss."

I nodded "Ok Nico, I'll kiss you."

"Really!" Nico's face glowed in happiness and he had a big smile on his face now.

I chuckled and nodded Nico sat up and so did I. I leaned over and took his face in my hands and kissed him softly. At first I was just going to make it innocent but something in me made me deepen it. I pressed harder and pulled him closer. I heard a squeak of surprise and then I felt Nico relax and wrap his arms around my neck. I ran my tongue across his bottom lip, which made him gasp. I took that chance and plunged my tongue into his mouth. We battled for several minutes until I ran on hand down Nico's back and till my hand were on the small of his back and I pulled him even closer. I heard Nico, moan and he submitted to me and let me take control. We kissed like that for a few more minutes until I pulled back a string of saliva between us until Nico licked his lips.

"Wow, Nico panted"

We were both out of breath and now just staring at each other.

"Yeah.." I responded

It wasn't until a few seconds later until I realized what I had done. I quickly pulled back with a look of shock.

"I am so sorry Nico.. I don't.. I.."

Nico looked at me in question until he seemed to realize something "Percy the reason you broke up with Annabeth wasn't just because you didn't love her anymore is it." He said quietly

I looked away from him and I could just tell me checks were slightly pink. "No, I realized that I was Bi. I didn't know until one of Aphrodite boys who was new to camp and didn't know about Annabeth and I came up to me and asked if we could go on a date. I was shocked of course and I told him I didn't swing that way so to speak. He just looked at me funny like he knew something I didn't. He then said so why are you checking out Jason. I was confused I wasn't checking out Jason sure I was admiring he work with a sword, his sun-kissed skin, blonde hair, sexy ass. I had paled at that last thought. I had quickly excused myself and ran to my cabin and locked myself in there until dinner. I wanted to talk to you but you were in the underworld so I ended up working it out with Grover who was surprising cool about it. He is the only other person I have told I didn't even tell Annabeth because I didn't want her to think that was the reason I was breaking up with her."

Nico smiled sadly at me and then pulled me into a hug "I'm sorry I wasn't there. But hey at least we know you have a thing for blondes."

I blushed and shoved Nico away "Not funny"

Nico chuckled and smiled at that "Percy, I don't want to date you."

"Huh, where did that come from?" I asked him

"Well, I didn't want to and plus unless you were suddenly going to become immortal with me I don't want to be with you and then loose you. I much rather just be you best friend and brother."

I smiled "Thanks Nico and I want that too and you're right though I do have an attraction to blondes".

Nico rolled his eyes and then got out of bed come on get dressed you haven't eat breakfast yet and it is almost over.

"Oh no!" I yelled and quickly scrambled out of bed I ran to my clothes and quickly got dressed and ran to the door.

"Come on Nico"

Nico shook his head and followed me out "Coming Sea Prince"

I turned to look at him in question. He blushed "My nickname for you."

I smiled " I like it. The Ghost King and The Sea Prince"

I opened the door and walked out with Nico right beside me. "So any guys you are interested in, that are not taken like Jason." Nico asked

"NICO"

He laughed and ran off to the pavilion leaving me to chase after him. "That brat" I said under my breath.


There I had to end it on a friendly note. Who saw the scene with Nico coming, don't worry Nico and Percy will not be getting together but they will have a special relationship that may or may not cause jealously in a certain someone down the road. Who thinks I should do a few more chapters and then a time skip or should I just do small time skips like by weeks?
