The next three days happened without much to do. Nico had refused to sleep in the bed, thus Percy refused to as well and they had both woken up curled up close to each other on the floor next to the bed – which didn't seem to be what Nico had pictured, going by his shocked face.

During the days they had went for walks, talked, carefully avoided topics like sex, sex, sex and Annabeth and found more fish flying to their feet wanting to be eaten for some reason. Right when they had started eating, they had almost devoured the whole fish in one go, realizing they were starving just as Percy had predicted.

They had also taken a swim in the small pond Percy had fallen into, which really tested Percy's willpower to resist jumping at the half naked Nico and devour HIM instead of the fish. Not literally, of course. But it had taken him quite a lot to leave Nico alone. Even though Nico looked like he was having trouble not looking towards Percy, as well. Still, it had been fun and all and they had even revisited the place where the bridge had been.

Pronunciation lying on 'had been'.

It was gone and there was no sign it ever existed either. That had creeped them out a bit, but oh well. They were getting used to this sort of thing, it seemed.

Sure, put two people on a magical island that keeps leading you to other magical islands and you kind of get used to mysterious doors or bridges popping up and disappearing again.
Just yesterday Percy had opened the bathroom door and looked into a giant jungle of trees and bushes that reminded him vaguely of the rain forest. Out of surprise he had slammed the door shut and when he had reopened it, the bathroom looked same as always.
Not that that made him feel any better.
Instead, Nico and he decided to never close ANY door again in their life.
Seriously, you never knew what could happen. You might end up in China while trying to walk through your front door or something.

But now Nico was simply asking for it. It was pretty much their seventh day here and they were in the pond again, Percy trying to converse with the fish (didn't work, they only looked at him with pitiful expressions and two jumped out the water to be their next dinner) and casually looking up at Nico, just to gulp. Hard.

Nico stood there, at the side of the pond, stretching, the sun shining down on him, making his skin seem like porcelain. His muscles flexed and the green underwear looked so hot Percy didn't want to take his eyes off them anymore. The contrast was perfect and the color really suited him.

Plus, it showed a slight bulge at the front which made Percy's mouth water and his hands tingle with the urge to touch and take out whatever lay beneath. But to make matters worse, Nico was now staring right at him, his brown eyes fixed on Percy's green ones. And then Percy could catch the faint hint of a mocking smile.

Percy only now noticed he was gaping at the younger boy. He closed his mouth, trying to settle his insides down as he swam over to the boy. "Care to come in for a swim?" He asked casually enough and tried not to look at Nico's underwear. Nico shrugged. "Sure I guess." With that, the boy sat down and slipped into the water. In Percy's territory. Percy could think of so many ways to take advantage of this, but tried to push it down.

Nico seemed to trust him a lot. Or maybe Nico simply didn't mind if Percy started making out with him. Maybe he was even waiting for it. Nah, probably not. Oh, Percy knew Nico had enjoyed it, but he wasn't stupid enough to think that Nico would keep wanting to do it with him just because he couldn't control his own hormones.

Seriously, since when had he become so...horny? Usually he didn't have much time to think about things like these because of monster attacks, quests to save the world or Annabeth trying to teach him some great myths he would forget again, anyways. It wasn't like he never thought about it. But come to think of it, with Annabeth he had sometimes been ok for weeks without even as much as cuddling with her, and that without any monster attacks, quests to save the world or myth studying to interfere. But with Nico, he couldn't even sleep properly at night if he didn't have the boy cuddling against him on the floor (yeah, they were still sleeping there because neither wanted to claim the bed).
Was he getting...obsessed?

They swam side by side across the pond. After a challenging glance from Percy, it became a race to who was faster, which he obviously one. First of all, he was son of Poseidon and always the best when it came to water sports and such. Second, Nico was kind of a slow swimmer. Though he seemed a pretty good loser. He just smiled and tried to keep his head above the water after getting out of breath when Percy decided to slow him down a bit further and making the water flow against Nico, so the boy was pretty much swimming in place for a bit.

Now he splashed water in Percy's face jokingly, soaking him through because he had intentionally wanted to become wet when he had entered the pond. When he could see properly again and looked back at Nico, he saw him swimming towards shore. "Never!" Percy called and made the water become a wave, getting Nico coming towards him instead of away from him. Too late did he stop it though and he was momentarily drowned under his own wave (though he could still breathe, of course) and come up extremely close to Nico who instantly tried to move backwards - which wasn't as easy in water as it was on land and made him kick against Percy's leg.

Percy was distracted for a moment. Being so close to Nico made him realize all those enchanting details in his face again. Then he noticed that the boy seemed to really get out of breath and grabbed his arm. "Let me show you something." Percy said grinning and before Nico could say anything, Percy pulled him under water, creating a bubble of air around the two of them and slowly moving downwards until they could stand on the bottom of the pond.

"Whoa..." Nico looked around him astonished. Percy grinned wickedly. "You like it?" Nico nodded and watched a fish pass by extremely close. When he turned around, Percy was right in front of him, looking not at their surroundings, but straight into Nico's eyes. For a second, the younger boy forgot to breathe. Then Percy slowly took his chin into his hands and bent over, not kissing him but putting his mouth close to Nico's ear.

"Green suits you very well, Nico." Percy purred in a low animalistic voice. Nico gulped and could feel himself blushing again – as he seemed to always do nowadays when he was around Percy. His insides churned and his heart beat so hard against his chest it almost hurt.

Percy pulled back from his ear slowly, teasingly brushing across Nico's cheek with his nose as he did so. Nico couldn't resist and turned his face slightly, their lips almost touching. Percy stopped, waiting to see what Nico would do. He had his eyes half shut and was hovering an inch away from Percy's lips, feeling his breath on his skin and slowly looking into Percy's eyes, watching him.

Nico understood what Percy was doing. Ever since he had sworn he wouldn't kiss him again, he really hadn't. And it seemed he was not going to go back on his word now unless Nico really wanted him to.

It was up to him. He was to make the decision.

His heart instantly leaped and wanted him to go for it, but his brain stopped him, telling him he shouldn't. Then he could feel Percy's hands touching his bare skin, slowly moving further up. For a second Nico closed his eyes, taking a deep breath – and then he put his arms around Percy, pulling him close and pressing his lips onto the other boy's.

Percy smiled into the kiss happily. He had almost feared Nico would pull back. It would have been very hard to restrain himself if the boy hadn't let him advance this time.

He couldn't explain why he was doing this. He simply did it.

Moaning, Nico pulled him closer into the kiss, tonguing him frantically, while Percy slowly pushed him down onto the bottom of the pond, making sure to keep up the bubble around them and playing with Nico's nipples again, pleased by the sweet moans Nico was rewarding him with.

Being underwater had two massive advantages:
First, Percy felt more powerful and energetic and could take his time preparing Nico this time and have him cum a couple more times before he himself would get to that.
Second, they were already almost completely undressed so Percy could touch Nico everywhere he wanted, without any piece of clothing in the way, except for their underwear.

Nico's moaned as Percy twisted his nipples, ending their French kiss to look down at Nico with a satisfied expression on his face. "You really like that, don't you?" He muttered and twisted them again, making Nico moan even louder and nod slowly, his skin having that adorable flush of red to it again.

"P-Percy..." He whimpered and Percy leaned over, shoving his tongue into the boy's mouth again and letting one hand slide down towards the green underwear slowly, making sure to have Nico feel it going downwards. Nico closed his eyes and moaned and Percy could feel his skin getting hot beneath his hands. He teasingly rubbed Nico's erection through the fabric, making him whimper again.

He had now turned his head sideways and his eyes were still closed. Percy wished Nico would look at him. But he had time. Slowly, he let his hands slide inside Nico's pants and heard even more sweet moans and whimpers of his name. He decided that the green pants had to go off now and pulled them down with one hand, while keeping his other one on Nico's dick, starting to play with the top and then pumping him with slow, teasing, up and down movements. Nick moaned loudly.

"Percy..." Percy's lips curled upwards and he enjoyed the view quietly. Nico lying in front of him completely naked with spread legs and his hands grasping at the sandy ground beneath him had to be the most erotic thing in the world. Percy positioned himself properly between Nico's legs, making the younger boy shiver with anticipation and excitement. Percy grinned maliciously, knowing what Nico was expecting.

Instead, he got down and replaced his hands with his mouth, licking around the head and sucking on it softly. Nico groaned and couldn't help but look down, their eyes locking as Percy started moving up and down on Nico's dick, sucking and licking and concentrating on a vein on the lower side since Nico seemed to react to that almost as much as to having Percy lick around the top.

Nico's moans became louder and more chaotic, he was also starting to tremble rather furiously. "P-Per-...Percy!" Percy used his right hand to grab hold of Nico's balls, massaging them and making the boy try to crawl away, whimpering and moaning now as if his life depended on it. "P-Percy...!" He groaned and let his head fall back, letting out a low cry of pleasure as he started cuming into Percy's mouth. The older boy swallowed and let go of Nico's dick slowly, looking down at the boy with immense pleasure.

Nico was shaking pretty badly, looking at him with desire and love burning in his warm brown eyes, his mouth slightly open and a trickle of saliva running down to his chin. Percy kissed it away and stroked out the hair out of Nico's face. "Percy..." The boy whispered and tried to get up, but Percy pushed him back down. He also stopped Nico's hands from traveling down Percy's underwear. Confusion showed on the younger ones face, making Percy grin.

"Don't worry, we'll get to that in a minute." He promised the blushing Nico and kissed his cheeks, his lips and down his neck, remembering that he wanted to leave a darker mark this time and found a nice spot between neck and collarbone to suck on. Nico whimpered and put his hands in Percy's hair which made him bite Nico's skin softly before he finally let go of it, watching it turning dark red with satisfaction.

Then he moved down Nico's body, kissing, licking and biting every here and there, especially around the nipples, feeling Nico getting hard again in no time. Percy put his arms around Nico's legs, pushing them upwards slightly and Nico pulled them close to his body, exposing a very arousing view to Percy, making him groan as he started rubbing against Nico's entrance with his finger. Nico moaned and put his hands around his legs to keep them bent that way, while Percy started slowly working one of his fingers inside, wriggling it experimentally. Just when he wondered whether he'd need two fingers to find Nico's good spot, the younger boy yelped with pleasure and Percy grinned victorious.

"Percy!" He touched the spot again and found Nico moaning loudly, so he inserted another finger, moving against that spot more forcefully now. The boy beneath him trembled and groaned with pleasure, calling out his name, his nails digging into his own legs. Percy was feeling hotter by the second.

"Oh god, P-Percy...!" He pushed a third finger in, going in and out, hitting the spot as fast and hard as he could, while watching Nico's face falling apart completely and the boy screaming his orgasm out as his dick burst and cum flew out all over the boy's legs, hands and chest. He didn't even seem to notice. He was still clutching his legs, breathing and trembling heavily, looking at Percy with glazed eyes, making Percy lean over between the boy's legs, his erection thus brushing against Nico, who eyed him with a mixture of fascination, gratitude and pleasure.

Percy stopped an inch or so above Nico's face, staring intently into those brown eyes as he pushed his lips down and kissed him slowly, almost softly. It wasn't like their usual hot kisses. It was a long, soft, emotional kiss, rather than lead by lust and desire, it seemed to be coming from some other part of Percy he couldn't decipher yet. Nico wrapped his trembling arms around Percy carefully, pulling him only a tad closer as he kissed Percy back the same way, showing all his emotions in that one kiss.

And Percy never felt more loved.

As Percy tried to pull back, Nico pulled him back down and let his leg brush against Percy's erection on purpose, making Percy let go of a low groan. They kissed again and Nico put his hands on Percy's hip bones, pushing them down onto his own and grinding against each other while slowly moving his hands to Percy's backside and grabbing his butt. Percy had to chuckle at that and looked at Nico with a raised eyebrow. Nico only looked sideways, trying not to show any sign of him being all 'Oh my god I've always wanted to do that someday' on the inside.

But Percy just ground their hips together, giving Nico a peck on the nose. "Like what you're doing?" He asked mockingly and Nico blushed, but then nodded slowly, grabbing Percy's buttocks tighter and massaging them while avoiding looking at Percy's face.

Percy liked the feeling of that, but suddenly Nico stopped, a dark red flush on his cheeks and his hands started darting towards Percy's throbbing erection. Percy so wasn't ready for that touch yet, his mind still on the nice feeling he had gotten from Nico's skilled hands on his butt. He moaned at the touch of exactly those skilled hands on his dick, pulling his underwear down and Percy could feel Nico trying to push Percy beneath him.

Percy loved it when Nico tried to be dominant. He felt one hand pumping his hard throbbing dick he had only been able to keep for this long without cuming due to the water giving him the strength and energy to hold back. His other hand however was running all over Percy's body and the boy had to admit that the usual ticklish sensation around his stomach felt much more arousing in already aroused state.

Nico seemed to notice the pleasuring shudder Percy got from his touches around that area, because he promptly staid there with his hand, then bent over and blew kisses around it, still moving his other hand up and down on Percy's dick, making pre-cum trickle out of it as Percy groaned and looked at Nico with half closed eyes as he started tonguing his belly button, which, to Percy's surprise, felt much better than he had expected. "Nico..." He muttered and could feel Nico's hand go faster.

Then something happened he had not expected. Nico had been on top of him, both knees on either side of Percy's legs. Now however, Nico started moving until his butt was on the same level as Percy's dick, making him realize what the younger boy intended to do. Nico stopped and locked eyes with Percy for a second, eyes full of desire, lust and uncertainty.

Percy put his hands encouragingly on his hips and Nico slowly slid down on Percy's erection. Percy fought back a groan as he watched Nico and felt the tightness of him around his dick, making it hard for him to keep still. Oh god, this felt so good.

Nico moaned and he started trembling again, trying to stay focused, but it seemed difficult for him as well. Percy noticed he still had his hands on Nico's hips and started pushing them downwards slightly while pushing himself upwards. As he slid further inside, Nico moaned louder and started making different types of movements while going down further and further, making Percy moan.

"Oh god, Nico..." He groaned as Nico started moving in a circling movement, still pushing him further inside and giving Percy a little smile. Percy started pushing upwards into Nico more forcefully now and Nico went with the rhythm and thrust downwards, making Percy's vision blurry with pleasure. He groaned and they kept thrusting harder and harder, Percy could feel his dick going all the way into Nico now and watched as the boy kept moving up and down on it, his tightness contracting even more around Percy now as Nico neared his third orgasm this day.

Percy groaned and let go of Nico's hips, grabbing Nico's dick and fondling the tip, giving Nico the edge. His brown eyes glazed over for a second before screaming out his orgasm as he pushed down hard on Percy's dick, cum squirting out of his dick all over himself and Percy's upper body. Percy could still hear the sweet scream of pleasure ringing in his ears, groaning loudly, the small "Percy..." Nico mumbled as he looked at him with those astonishingly brown, longing eyes taking away Percy's power to hold back even another hundredth of a second.

He burst with a loud groan, his husky voice growling 'Nico~' as his dick shot out a load of cum into Nico's butt, accompanied by a jolt through Percy's body, sending waves of pleasure through his entire body. It seemed the orgasm had been even more intense through holding back for so long, though it could also be the water supporting this amazing feeling, making him incapable of moving for a moment, just lying there, panting, as Nico dropped on top of him and Percy could only manage to wrap his arms around the younger boy, feeling his quickened heartbeat against his chest and feeling so good he just wanted to drift off into sleep.

They stayed like that for at least half an hour before Nico slowly slid off and looked at Percy lovingly, tracing a finger along Percy's face as if he was something delicate that could break if treated too roughly. Percy smiled at the dark haired boy with the brown eyes and closed his eyes for a minute.

"That. Felt. Awesome." He stated the obvious and opened his eyes again, looking for confirmation in Nico's face. The boy chuckled and he could still see the pleasure engraved in those warm eyes. "Did it still hurt?" Percy couldn't help but ask. It kind of bothered him and he hoped he hadn't been too rough with Nico. He had still felt so damn tight around him even though they had done this two times before and Percy had prepared him somewhat. He was after all no genius at this and without lubrication it was kind of difficult to make it completely painless, if such a thing existed. Nico smiled reassuringly at him and brushed a strand of dark hair out of Percy's face the same way Percy usually did with Nico.

"Nah, it felt amazing. You got to be the most talented lover anyone could ever wish for."

Percy blushed at that. He wasn't sure whether Nico over-exaggerated or if he really believed that. Then he wondered about the word 'lover'. Did he mean that as in Percy was a good lover in general or did he indicate Percy being HIS lover? Percy's heart started beating faster again. "Nico...lover as in what? In general or..." He started slowly. His insides turned with anticipation. He prayed for Nico to tell him he was his.

He didn't know why. He didn't care right now anyways. But he wanted Nico to be his and him to be Nico's. He could tell he had never felt this way before for he couldn't remember ever dreading an answer as much as this.

Nico stared at him, his mouth open as if to say something but Percy could almost feel the thoughts rattling in Nico's brain. The way Percy looked at him, full of hope, anticipation, agony even, was driving Nico crazy. What was he supposed to say? He so wanted to tell Percy he wanted him for himself, wanted him as a lover, boyfriend, whatever word came to mind. He wanted it so much it kept shoving out the other option Percy had named.

What had it been again? In general. Percy's expecting glance turned almost pleading. If only Nico knew what the older guy wanted to hear. He had to decide between saying what his heart yearned him to say and what his mind threw at him. If it was the wrong answer, it could shatter everything. "I...erm...you...I..." He stammered and blinked hard, trying to get a grip on one of those bypassing words scrambling through his mind. Percy looked at him with his big sea green eyes, coming closer, his breathing seemed strangely quickened and he looked at him as if his life depended on the answer. Nico's heart clenched. What was he supposed to do? And just then the words just scrambled out of his mouth.

"I don't know Percy. My heart tells me to make you mine but that damn voice in the back of my head keeps saying no." Percy eyes widened for a moment, understanding showing in those eyes, making Nico wonder if Percy could identify with the way he was feeling. Then Percy pulled him into a soft kiss.

"And which one will you listen to? Your heart or your mind?" Percy asked as he let go of Nico again. Nico, still dazzled by the kiss, answered without thinking. "My heart obviously..." Percy then grabbed him and pulled him back into the kiss longingly and Nico had the distinct feeling he had said the right thing, making his heart beat even faster than it was already.

If Percy had wanted him to say that, maybe he did feel something for Nico after all? Even if it wasn't love, Nico would already be happy if Percy just cared for him more than a normal friend. Percy stared him deep into the eyes. "What are you thinking about?" Nico couldn't help but ask. Percy smiled softly. "Love." Nico's eyes widened and he wanted Percy to go on, but the boy shook his head. "I don't have an answer yet, Nico." He muttered and Nico nodded slowly. He didn't exactly know what Percy meant by that. Maybe he was looking for a way to tell him he needn't get his hopes up in a nice and friendly way without tearing Nico apart.

Or maybe he indicated he might develop feelings for him? Nah, probably not that. Nico just sighed, giving Percy a peck on the cheek, then got up to look for his underpants. "Underwater sex is pretty damn awesome..." He muttered quietly as he put his completely dry green underpants back on. Percy chuckled and Nico blushed. He didn't think Percy would be able to hear that. "Sure is." The older boy commented and they went back to the surface. All the while, Percy kept the air bubble up until Nico was safely at shore. In a way, Nico thought, Percy really did care a lot about him.

But he wasn't sure whether he should get his hopes up because of that.
