Author's Note: Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long, but I just couldn't figure out how to do this scene. Enjoy the story! Let the Nicercy Begin!~3

Disclaimer: I do not own the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians nor Heroes of Olympus. Trust me, if I did, the movies wouldn't exist. These series belong to Rick Riordan, although this fanfiction has been written by me

IMPORTANT: Make sure to read the line before each chapter that tells you how long it's been since the war against Gaia, since there are going to a LOT of time jumps.

Chapter 3

Three weeks after the war: Hopes and confessions

Nico let out a pleased sigh. Today has been an extremely peaceful day. He had spent the entire day with will, Lou Ellen, and Kayla. They had done a bit of training, taken a walk by the strawberry fields, and climbed up the lava wall a few times.

The best part was, Nico hadn't seen Percy all day long because Percy had gone swimming with Jason, Piper and Leo, and Nico had been perfectly fine. He was finally starting to get over-

SLAM

"NICO I'M BISEXUAL!"

Well so much for that.

He turned to Percy and tried not to burst into song and dance.

'Just because he's bisexual does not mean he wants to date me'

He turned to Percy trying to maintain his composure.

"Oh? Since when?"

"You know how I went swimming with the festus gang today?"

Festus gang was Percy's name for Piper, Jason and Leo.

"Yeah..." Nico said, frowning slightly. He didn't like where this was going..

"Well, Jason was shirtless and I've always thought he was hot, so I said so."

Nico had to supress a growl at that. He did not like the idea of Percy finding anyone other than him hot.

"And then Piper pulled me aside, and asked if I was attracted to Jason, like physically. And I said I was, and she said that if I was attracted to other guys, that meant I'm bisexual! At first I was sceptical, but then I figured I've always been attracted to other guys, but I never really figured out what that meant. I mean, what with saving the world, losing my memories, being dumped into tartarus and fighting two wars, I never really had the time, you know?"

Nico looked at Percy incredulously.

"Let me get this straight... You thought that being attracted to other guys was normal for heterosexual guys?"

"Yup!" Said Percy , and it took every ounce of willpower in Nico's body to stop him from facepalming.

"So anyway, I'm going around telling everyone I'm bisexual, and-"

"Wait, what? How? Aren't you scared of coming out?"

"Not really. I mean, most things pale in comparison to tartarus. Not just that, but if there's anything these two wars have thought me, it's to live life to the fullest while I'm still alive."

Nico watched slightly sadly as Percy left to go talk to Grover. Just two weeks ago Percy was crying his eyes out, and now he was jumping around like normal. He knew that a bit of that chirpiness was a façade, but he also knew that a bit of it was real. And for now, that was enough.

He knew that if he got his hopes up he would just end up getting his heart broken again, yet he couldn't bring himself to extinguish that tiny flame of hope that had risen in his chest.

Whelp, that was it! Please review and let me know what you think, no flames~3
