A/N wow, there are a lot of sex jokes in this chapter... leave a review please?
I come back with two slices of toast for breakfast, but when I open the door to my cabin, Nico immediately asks me if he can have one of them. When I oblige, we sit down on my bed, each eating our piece of toast.
"Listen, I'm sorry about last night," he says, with a slightly disgusting, but weirdly attractive mouth full of toast, "I was just...not thinking straight." there is a pause, and he swallows his mouthful, "no pun intended."
I laugh a little then say, "You have nothing to be sorry for." I swallow my toast, "I understand."
We both finish our breakfast and stand up gingerly to leave.
"This is the bit where we pretend nothing happened." I say hesitantly.
"So basically- this is the hard bit."
"Good luck."
"Seeing as we're acting, don't you mean 'break a leg'?"
"Yeah that." I say and, before I could stop myself, I give Nico what's supposed to be a quick peck on the lips. But, when I'm about to pull away, the kiss gets deeper and more passionate.
"We have to go." I smile into him.
"F*** that!" he replies.
We sit down and he straddles his legs so that he's sitting on top of me. We're concentrating on the kiss so much that we don't hear the approaching footsteps to my cabin, or the three sharp knock on the door, or the creaking sound of the old door handle of my cabin.
"Percy do y-"Jason runs in and falters when he sees us. "Oh my gods oh my gods oh my gods! You actually hooked up! I can't believe it! I can't wait to tell piper and frank and..." he keeps blabbering on while Nico awkwardly detaches himself from me, his pale skin turning bright red from embarrassment. I think mortals would call what Jason's doing "fangirling"?
"Jason!" i finally snap, "a) don't tell anyone about this, b) what was it you wanted to ask me?"
"oh that? Pffft, nothing, just asking if you wanted to go to town." He shrugs, "i cant believe it though, you two make such a good couple!"
"sure" I say, after looking to Nico for confirmation.
"sure what?" Jason says.
"sure we'll go to town with you." I clarify, "as long as you don't breathe a word of this to anyone." I say this for Nico's sake more than my own, considering both how long it took him to come out and the fact that he was brought up in the '40s.
"i won't." He smiles, and the three of us walk out of my cabin together.
Okay i hope you enjoyed it. I will probably make this the end of this story, but if you want to hear the solangelo bit anyway, I'll keep making it just with a different title.
If you didn't get the hint, this is me splitting this story in two.
