Gods guys took you long enough! XD Ummmm yeah so here we are again! I have important news. MY MOMMY READ ONE OF MY STORIES AND ACTUALLY LIKED IT! Not a fanfic though... that'd be ridiculous she doesn't like the books I like. I write original stories in my free time. *strokes notebook where I write every idea I get* Also a friend made me include at least 3 Panic! At the Disco songs in this. She loves the band... a lot... a lot a lot. It gets kinda annoying when she jabbers on an on about it but they are a great band! (CHECK OUT GIRLS/GIRLS/BOYS MUSIC VIDEO! *laughs evilly* SERIOUSLY BEST ONE EVER! *rubs hands together like an evil villain* WHAT THEY ARE COLD?!)

No One's POV

Nico was doing his usual business aboard the Argo II, sitting in his room and listening to music. He had found an old radio and had had Leo tinker with it making it undetectable by monsters. He had plugged in an Ipod he had purchased for very cheap and loaded it with songs.

The song he was currently listening to was 'Let's Kill Tonight' by Panic! At the Disco. He found himself shocked at the fact he enjoyed the band as much as he did as he had all of there albums downloaded.

Leo popped in every now and then to make sure he was still alive, Hazel was always bugging him. She wanted to make sure he was eating and drinking plenty of water and still breathing. All that nonsense.

Nico heaved a sigh and got up from the bean bag that was in the corner of his room. He began to pace just plain bored. He picked up a weird ball with lots of strings coming off of it. What had Leo called it? A koosh ball? Weird. Nico threw it up in the air and caught it. He began playing a game with himself which he soon grew tired of because he wasn't very good at the game.

The song had changed to But it's Better if You Do again by Panic! At the Disco. Nico got so frustrated with his boredom he threw his koosh ball at the ipod successfully turning it off with out breaking it.

Hazel must of heard the clatter of the book he had knocked off the desk and burst into his room "WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE? NICO ARE YOU STILL BREATHING?"

Nico rolled his eyes but remained silent. He didn't ever talk unless he needed too. It frustrated Hazel more than anything.

"Nico why don't you talk?" Hazel complained. Nico opened his mouth to say he did talk just not very much but then closed it again and shrugged.

"You are such a headache sometimes. Come on, it is time for dinner anyways. Leo made tacos." Hazel smiled and held the door open for her half brother. Nico sighed and walked out.

He was greeted by the sounds of talking and dishes clattering. He smiled at the smell of food, he was starving. He didn't eat much but when he was hungry he was hungry.

He walked over to his usual seat at the farthest corner of the table next to Hazel and Jason, who after he found out his secret he had grown pretty close too.

"Hey Nico!" Jason said and clapped him hard on the shoulder smiling good naturedly. He handed him an orange plate with a soft taco shell on it. "I don't know which you prefer so I guess, soft."

Nico nodded approval at the tortilla and reached across the table and took a huge spoonful of the spicy beef Leo had prepared. Leo wasn't a very good chef but he made great taco meat. Nico then grabbed a pinch of bell peppers, a little bit of onions and a good helping of lettuce. He just passed the cheese bowl right on by. It made him gag just thinking about eating the yellow food.

Percy was sat next to Annabeth much to Nico's distaste. He didn't have a crush on Percy so much anymore he had moved his attention to the half Latino son of Hephaestus. He dared a glance at said person and smiled briefly at the sight of him laughing at something Piper had said.

Nico didn't particularly like Piper but he found her funny and interesting to be around.

Before anyone else had even finished 1 taco, exception of Leo of course who was on his 2nd, Nico was filling his 4th taco.

"Geez Nico! I could of sworn you have eaten in the past month yet you act like you haven't!" Hazel laughed.

"Well I'm hungry. For once." Nico mumbled with his mouth full.

"EW! That is gross!" Piper complained.

"I don't care!" Nico retorted his mouth still not empty of half chewed taco.

"Nico! Stop that is so disgusting!" Piper cried out again. As if to spite her Leo joined in.

"Come on! Piper it isn't that bad!" He managed his mouth almost entirely full of chicken taco.

"Hey at least Nico is talking!" Hazel interjected.

"He could chew his food first!" Piper muttered.

"Whatever Beauty Queen." Leo swallowed hard. "See no more food!" Leo smiled showing off his pearly white teeth which had bits of lettuce stuck between them.

"You have lettuce in your teeth." Annabeth stated. Nico turned his attention back to his taco and polished off 2 more before he was full.

"That was good." He said picking up his napkins and putting them on his plate then carrying it to the trash can.

"Thanks!" Leo smiled proudly and tossed his own plate into the trash.

Nico headed towards his room and was about to close the door when Leo slipped inside.

"Dude, don't try to kick your best buddy out of your room!" Leo joked. Nico rolled his eyes and plopped down in his beanbag chair.

It was normal for Leo to follow the Son of Hades to his room after dinner. Leo would chat with him, Nico would listen to the crazy story Leo would tell.

"So in this one school I went to there was this girl name Laurel. She was totally rocking too, she had short blue hair, brown framed glasses, lots of freckles across her pale skin. She was also pretty short in general. Now this girl was totally cool and her little brother was too, Edison was his name. They always got in trouble together. On the last day before I ran away Laurel planned this cool surprise party for me at her house. All our friends were there, Jessica, Peyton, Asa, Leah, that one kid with the really bad hair cut. Everyone! She was probably the only person I miss because I ran away. That and Asa... he was pretty... pretty... er... fucking hot." Leo picked his words carefully.

Nico nodded along with the story.

"So anyways after I ran away from there I ended up at Wilderness School and I already told you that story." Leo smiled at Nico.

"That is interesting and Asa? What was he like?" Nico grinned. He and Leo had grown close over the month that Leo had been doing this. Nico figured out that Leo was bi, didn't like getting close to people because, in the end, he always ran away, his mom died in a fire he had caused, he was terrified of bees and didn't like the color neon pink because it was weird and unnatural.

Nico learned all the little things about Leo from his tales of foster homes and misadventures in the pranking world.

"Asa was... Asa. I really can't describe him. Besides that was 2 years ago!" Leo laughed. "I like someone else now, duh."

"Who?" Nico asked.

"I'm not telling you!" Leo joked.

"Please?" Nico made puppy dog eyes that normally got answers out of his friend.

"Nope."

"What are they like?" Nico pried.

"Well... they are male."

"Is that all you're giving me?"

Leo nodded.

"Damn you Valdez!" Nico laughed. Nico laughed and joked and smiled a lot more around Leo than around anyone else except maybe Bianca but she's gone.

Leo laughed too.

"I'll tell you another thing. You know him really, REALLY, well." Leo's eyes glimmered.

"Is it Percy?" Nico guessed, Leo shakes his head. "Jason?" again he shakes his head. "FRANK?" Nico asked shocked. Leo laughs.

"No! That'd be crazy." Leo shakes his head.

"Then who? That is all our shared friends really. And it's a he..." Nico trailed off. "Is it me?" He asked barely a whisper.

"Yes." Leo looked down. Nico yelped. He couldn't help it, when you find out that the person you like likes you back you tend to well. Yelp.

"Oh geez. I'm leaving now! Bye!" Leo was about to bolt from the room when Nico grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't go." Nico murmured softly. Leo stopped and turned around. "I like you too." Nico said.

Leo grinned so wide Nico was afraid his face would split.

"YES!" Leo jumped up and down then realizing what he was doing stopped and nodded his head. "I mean cool.." He tried to play it cool and lean against the door frame but missed and fell on the floor, but not before grabbing Nico's arm and dragging him with him.

"OOF!" Leo's lungs had gotten the air knocked out of them when Nico fell on him.

"Sorry!" Nico muttered but made no move to move. Nico's chest was pressed against Leo's there faces dangerously close. Hesitantly Nico presses his lips to Leo's. Leo meets his lips with no hesitation.

Bad ending... *sigh* oh well... yup. I'll update at 65
