Percy quickly stopped smiling and looked ready to kill…
"Where is he" Percy growled looking around his instincts were going wild part of him worried about his mate the other angry at his mate for not following his orders. "Maybe he got hungry and went to the pavilion" Leos voice broke him out of his trance and he quickly started to drag Leo to the pavilion to see if his mate was there.
As they entered to pavilion Percy looked even scarier when he noticed Nico fighting with several people he hated who were teaming up against Nico who was quite strong but not all-powerful and it was clear that he was starting to lose ground. Percy blasted the attackers away from Nico and grabbing Nico dragging him to the infirmary.
"Hey I need a healer" Percy called out and a blond boy came running and gasped when he saw Nico.
"Nico oh no come on I know what to do" The boy said and Percy followed him, the moment Percy placed Nico down the boy was hard at work Percy was about to tell him to get the Unicorn Elixir but the healer had already used it.
"Who are you and how often do you heal him up" Percy asked once Nico was all patched up and sleeping it off.
"How rude of me my name is Will and I usually treat him whenever he sleeps at camp the leaders like to beat him up when he isn't expecting it" The boy said clearly angry at Nico's situation then Will looked at Percy and asked "Why do you care?"
"He is my soulmate it is my job to care Percy stated gauging Wills reaction.
Will smiled brightly "I'm so glad he finally found you or you found him" But then Will stopped smiling and said "It will be hard on the both of you when Percy was banished I was afraid he would never come back but if you're here he will finally begin to heal."
Just then they heard Leos voice call "Praefortis are you in here!"
"In here Leo!" Percy called back and Leo entered then turned to Will.
"Is Nico going to be okay" Leo asked nervously because Nico was one of the only campers that tolerated him.
"Yes, he just needs to rest so why don't we move this conversation outside" Will suggested and Percy almost refused but also ended up leaving but not before placing powerful wards that no demi-god could ever dream of breaking.
"I'm not saying I believe you but let's say I did why reveal yourself now and not before" Leo said once they were sitting in the infirmary's canteen.
"Time moved differently in Universum and I didn't realize Nico was my soulmate until I looked him in the eyes if I had known I would've come to camp earlier" Percy explained angry at himself for not returning sooner thinking of the pain he put his mate through.
"Why did Chaos take an interest in you" Leo asked.
"I don't know I never bothered asking" Percy shrugged wondering that himself, before Leo could ask another question Percy felt the wards being breached and, in a flash, he was in front of the hospital room ready to murder but stopped himself when he realized it was only Nico leaving the room. "What are you doing up you need to rest" Percy said moving to pick up Nico and put him back in bed.
"I'm fine Percy I've gone through much worse" Nico protested pushing Percy away upset that Percy saw him at a weak moment. Percy had to resist growling at his mate refusing his orders but was able to calm down in time.
"Nico I just want to know you are safe before I go kill your attackers" Percy said darkly.
"I can take care of myself Percy I've done it for years" Nico stated moving to walk around Percy and out of the infirmary but was once again blocked by Percy "Let me through" Nico demanded.
Percy sighed and said "If you won't rest then will you at least just talk with Leo I've been trying to convince him I'm me but he won't believe me until you tell him so then we can go after your attackers together." Nico took a deep breath but nodded and followed Percy to the canteen.
"Nico you shouldn't be up did you wake him up I told you he needs rest" Will chided starting to push Nico back to his room but Nico twisted out of Wills grip.
"I was already awake Will I feel fine and Perce wanted me to answer some of Leos questions alright" Nico said already sitting down, Will used to Nico's behavior just rolled his eyes before also sitting down.
"So, he really is Percy" Leo asked Nico almost afraid of the answer.
"In the flesh I almost didn't believe it myself" Nico said and Leo almost started crying getting up and hugged Percy.
"You're alive I'm so glad I missed you, you are one of my only friends" Leo mumbled before letting go and sitting down totally not wiping his eyes. As they were talking they also got some food because they all missed dinner at the pavilion, it was past curfew when they all started to run back but Percy kept the harpies at bay and soon the others were in their cabins and Nico and Percy were walking alone to the Hades cabin.
Just as they were about to reach it a bright light shined on them and they heard Annabeth's shrill voice call out "Well look who it is the freak out past curfew thought we finally finished you off this time."
