Percy's P.O.V

I leaned in towards his lips, and pressed mine against his. He tasted like pomegranates, dirt, and a hint of mint… His lips were soft and moist, as if he just put Chap Stick on his lips…. I felt my spine tingle with adrenaline, and my toes started going numb as if they weren't there. I then thought about what Nico was feeling during all of this, he was completely still no moving an inch… Then all of a sudden, he made the kiss deeper. He put his hands in my hair, and pressed his lips harder into mine. I felt like my life was complete… I felt like I was on thin air…

Nico's P.O.V

I couldn't believe any of this… I was kissing the love of my life, and he kissed me first! I was happy for once, and I was smiling into the kiss like it was my job… I couldn't let go… And I never would… A couple seconds later he pulled away from my lips, and stared at me straight in the eye. Once, again those big bluish-green eyes made my hear skip a beat… And made my breath stop… I couldn't believe what he said next…

"Nico, I love you… And I always have, it started quite a long time ago too… I love you to the moon and back Nico, and I will never stop doing so… So please Nico… Tell me that you love me too, because I'm pretty sure that if you don't, I couldn't live with myself…"

I was in pure shock, I literally couldn't move…. He straight up made me freeze right on the spot… That and the fact that I was still tied down to the bed…

"Percy…."

He looked at me with hopeful eyes that had excitement and love in them….

"I love you."

Percy's P.O.V

I couldn't believe it, the person who I secretly loved just told me he loves me! I'm soooo excited! I noticed that he kept fidgeting in his seat, so I leaned forward and kissed him again with much more passion than last time.

"Nico, I promise you that no matter how many times I mess up, or look stupid and silly, or make us look like total freaks…. I will always love you."

Nico had a smile so big on his face, and he was crying tears of joy. I think that just this once, I made Nico the happiest person on earth….
