Nico POV
Oh gods, Percy is kissing me...
I felt my body begin to freeze. Why was Percy kissing me? He wanted Annabeth. He had made that perfectly clear. I knew that I was supposed to be pushing him away but my body wasn't responding. I felt him tangle his fingers in my hair and I could once again taste that faint hint of salt on his lips.
I had still yet to respond when he started to pull away. No...
I wrapped my arms around him and I pulled him back against me. My lips started to move against his before my mind had time to catch up with my body. He froze for a moment before he started to kiss me back.
I wasn't entirely certain what to do. This was only the second time someone had kissed me and only other time that it had happened, I had been frozen in place. I tried to mimic what Percy was doing. I didn't think that it would feel as miraculous as what his lips were achieving but I still felt him shudder against me.
I felt his tongue run along my bottom lip and I gasped. He took advantage of my response to explore my mouth. His tongue pulled mine into a battle that he easily won. He dominated the kiss, investigating every crevice of my mouth. The slight salty taste of his lips was even stronger on his tongue, I shivered at the sensation.
I could never have imagined that kissing Percy would feel so wonderful. It was even better than I had thought it would be. I had never kissed anyone else but I could tell that he was an amazing kisser. The feeling of Percy kissing me made it impossible for my brain to think of anything else.
I hadn't even noticed that we were moving until I felt Percy pull me down into his lap. I pulled away for air and noticed that both of us were panting. My gaze was locked on his sea-green eyes. I was unable to look away but out the corner of my eye I noticed that we were sitting on my bed. I felt a dark blush rush to my face at the knowledge that Percy was on my bed.
I saw his pupils dilate before he was kissing me once more. I felt my arms move to wrap around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist and pulled me even closer. The feeling of Percy's hands exploring my back had me shivering in pleasure.
My hands slid up and I ran my fingers through his silky hair, it was even softer than I had imagined. I had always wanted to feel his hair but I had always been too nervous, I was worried that I would push him too far and he would leave. I felt his tongue flick against mine and on an impulse, I bit his lip. He gasped and my heart constricted at the sound.
I felt one of his hands slid up my back to tighten in my hair and his mouth left mine. Before I had time to complain I felt his lips moving against my throat. My eyes nearly rolled back at the sensation. I felt his teeth graze my skin and a moan fell from my lips.
The sound was enough to clear my mind. I realized that I was kissing Percy. I felt myself blush and I pulled away. I stood up and took a step back. My face was on fire as I tried to straighten my shirt.
How could I be so stupid? What's wrong with me? He doesn't want me like that, not like I want him. What is he doing?
I turned my back to him and took a deep breath trying to calm my heart. I felt myself shivering at the loss of his body heat. I wanted to ask him what that was about but I wasn't yet able to form a coherent sentence. I remembered the feeling of his lips and my mind once again went blank...
I turned to look at Percy and my blush got even darker. He was flushed and his hair was messy, reminding me of what had just happened. He shook his head and let out a breath. "I'm sorry. That was not the way I planned to say... not that it wasn't... just... wow."
I watched as he ran a hand through his hair and swallowed against the feeling. I bit my lip and tried not to shiver at the sight. The knowledge that I was the one who had done that to him was a heady thing. I had always dreamed of seeing him like that, but to actually witness it was something else.
He bit his lip and looked up at me with a guilty look on his face. For a moment my heart felt like it would shatter.
"I came here to talk to you. I'm sorry for kissing you. Well, I'm not sorry for actually kissing you, that was the most amazing thing I've ever felt... but I'm sorry for kissing you without your permission."
My heart began to swell in my chest, the most amazing thing he's ever felt?
I felt myself blush again and I looked down to try to hide my reaction. I heard him groan and my eyes shot to his. "Please don't do that, you're making it very hard to stay focused."
I felt my eyebrows furrow, "Do what?"
He stood up and lifted my face so that he could see me better. "Blush like that," Of course his statement made me blush even darker. "Yes, exactly like that. I'm trying to tell you something but this," He ran the tips of his fingers across my cheek and I nearly began to swoon, "Is making it very hard to keep myself from kissing you again."
I had to bit my lip in order to keep myself from pulling him towards me. I didn't know what he was up to but the feeling of his hands caressing my face nearly destroyed what little rational thought I had left. I took a deep breath and stepped back.
I was nervous to hear him out but I knew that I had to. "What did you need to say?"
ΩΩΩ
Percy POV
I felt my cheeks blush and I had to look down. "I wanted to say... I mean that I..." I looked into Nico's eyes and I felt my gaze lock with his. I ended up blurting it out, "Leaving you was the biggest mistake I've ever made."
Well so much for my speech...
I was very nervous but I couldn't look away. I needed to see his reaction.
I saw the son of Hades blink twice but other than that he didn't move. I began to get very anxious before he shook his head. I felt my heart plummet. I closed my eyes and took a shaking breath. I knew that the chance that he could forgive me had been a long shot but the knowledge felt like a knife to the chest. I opened my eyes with the intent of leaving before I saw him looking at me in wonder.
"What did you say?"
I felt myself blush once more. It was hard to say but I wanted to tell him the truth. I would have always regretted it if I didn't. "I was an idiot. You were one of the best things that ever happened to me and I threw it away." I felt myself beginning to babble but I couldn't stop. "I will always regret that but I understand if you can't forgive me. I mean, there is nothing great about me and I know that there's nothing I can do to win you back. I just wanted to tell you that I..."
I was silenced when a pair of cool arms wrapped around my neck and pulled me down for a kiss. For a second I was stunned. How could he forgive me so easily? Then I realized that as long as he wanted me, I didn't care why.
I felt his cool lips begin to move against mine. The taste of his lips was indescribably Nico. They tasted almost like ice with a fruity tinge too them. I recognized the slight taste of fruit from the time that he had convinced me to try a pomegranate. I hadn't liked the fruit at the time but now, I had a feeling that I would enjoy it.
I felt a cool tongue hesitantly flick at my lips and I groaned at the sensation. I happily obliged him. I opened my mouth and allowed him to explore. I could feel that the movement was slightly awkward to him. It was obvious to me that I was the only one he had ever kissed, but rather than making it less enjoyable, it heightened it. I liked the thought that I was the only one who had ever tasted his lips.
I shivered at the thought. I allowed him to control the kiss for another moment or so before I broke down and took dominance. He let me take charge and I pulled him even closer to me. Finally having him in my arms was an amazing feeling.
I nipped at his lip and it earned my a moan from the son of Hades. I chuckled at the sound before I pulled back.
I lifted one of the arms that was around him to brush his cheek. "So does this mean that you can forgive me for being an idiot?"
Nico blushed and hesitantly reached a hand out to run it through my hair. "Yes," he bit his lip and looked like he wanted to say something. Before I could ask he shook his head and smirked, "Besides, being an idiot is part of your charm."
I laughed and pulled the son of the underworld back to me. "I'm glad to hear you think that. So, what do you say? Will you go out with me, my ghost king?"
I watched as his eyes widened in surprise before the biggest smile I had ever seen spread across his face. "I would be happy to, my sea prince."
I smiled as I kissed him once more. I could finally call him mine...
ΩΩΩ
The two of us were lying on his bed. I had my arm around him and his head was on my chest. We hadn't actually said very much. I was curious as to why he was so forgiving but I decided that, at that moment, I was content to simply lie there with the son of Hades.
I ran my fingers through his hair and listened to his steady breathing. I tilted my head so that I could see him and chuckled when I realized that he had fallen asleep. It amazed me how easily he could sleep with me there. I smiled and rested my head on top of his. He shifted closer to me but didn't wake up. I smiled as he curled his fingers into my shirt.
I felt myself beginning to lose consciousness but I didn't want to wake him up. I tightened my hold around him and closed my eyes.
Right before I fell asleep I realized that I had never told him what I had gone there to say. I smiled and whispered the words into his hair.
"I love you my ghost king."
