Day 7: 2nd Advent Sunday
"Good morning, Nico!" Jason's voice sounded through Nico's cabin.
Nico groaned and turned around in his bed.
"Remind me to never tell anybody ever again where the spare key is…" He muttered, more to himself than anybody else, and pushed his head beneath the pillow, clutching Mrs. O'Leary for dear life as if she could take him back to his dreams.
It had been such nice dreams, too.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. But it's Sunday! Let's fire a candle!"
"Isn't it called 'light' a candle?" Nico mumbled and pushed himself up into a sitting position.
"Oops, could be. Hey, look, your admirer was here again."
That woke him up, alright.
He looked around to his bedside table. Sure enough, there was a note and a small package.
He felt the anticipation and excitement building inside him, but tried to push it down, looking over at Jason.
Jason chuckled and flopped down on his bed. "I can see the anticipation in your eyes, Neeks. No need to hold back. If somebody would do something like that for me, well, I'd be all over it first thing in the morning, every morning. Especially if there were brownies involved."
Nico laughed and gingerly took the note.
Jason gave him some space, which Nico was immensely grateful for. He still wanted to be the first to read the notes and he wanted to do it alone.
[Dear Nico,
the second of four Advent Sundays. Isn't this great?
Today, I got something really special for you.
I hope you will like it.
Did you enjoy the DVD? I thought it was quite good.
I would love to watch it alone with you at some point as well.
I know you are curious who I am. I really wish I could tell you, Nico. I really do.
But I swore to myself I'd do this for you.
And I intend to keep my word.
I love you, Nico. I love you and everything about you and everything you are.
And I absolutely love your pouting face.
Have a nice 7th day of December, my Angel.
I love you,
Your secret Admirer]
Nico's world spun.
What?!
He stared down at the card, flying over the text once more.
This was…impossible.
He looked at Jason, his mind reeling as he felt overwhelmed and…lost.
"You okay? What does it say?" Jason asked, tilting his head slightly.
Nico hesitantly passed him the card, though he didn't immediately let go.
What?!
This couldn't be.
It couldn't be.
Jason took the card carefully, his eyes fixed on Nico.
Nico blinked, letting go of the card and turning away.
No, that must just be some sort of misunderstanding.
He looked at the small package. As he grabbed for it, his fingers were a bit shaky, but he tried to control them.
"Oh…" Jason muttered.
Nico didn't look around, fumbling with the package instead.
Before either of them could say anything, Percy and Will marched in.
"Good morning!" Both greeted in unison, grinning broadly.
Nico looked them over for a moment.
No. It was just a mistake.
He must have misunderstood.
It couldn't possibly mean anything.
"What's the note of the day?" Will asked, flopping down next to Jason and reading it quietly.
"Nico? You okay?" asked Percy, looking at him worriedly.
Nico nodded quickly and still fumbled with the small package.
"Want me to help?" Jason offered next to him.
He shook his head.
He needed something to occupy his hands right now.
"Well…" Will muttered, taken aback, then passed the card to Percy.
Nico fumbled with the package even more, not really trying to open it, really.
It was all just a stupid mistake. There was no way this was what he was thinking.
No way, at all.
He looked up at Percy, who raised both eyebrows in surprise.
Then he looked at Nico.
"Nico…who knows your pouting face other than the three of us?"
Nico bit his lips. "Nobody…"
There was silence in the room.
"Really? Like, you never did that before?" Will asked, looking at him with a frown.
"With Bianca, sure, but, I mean, she's dead." Nico still fumbled with the package.
"Well…awkward…" Percy muttered.
"So, either somebody stalks you hardcore, you pout in your sleep, or it's one of us?" Will summed up.
Nico stopped fidgeting.
"No. No, that can't be." He muttered to himself, shaking his head.
"It must be some kind of mistake. Maybe he meant it differently. Anyways, it doesn't…"
He didn't finish whatever he was going to say.
He didn't really know what he was going to say, either.
He shook his head again.
"Let's just forget it." He said and got up.
"Nico?" Jason asked quietly.
Nico walked over to his closet, pulling out clothes at random.
"I'll be in the bathroom." He muttered and left.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, he leaned against it, sighing.
'I love your pouting face.'
Was this some cruel joke?
He had never shown his pouting face to anybody other than his three friends.
And it couldn't be one of them.
It simply couldn't.
But then who could it be? Nobody else had been there.
What the hell?
Did that person mean something like 'I bet you have a cute pouting face'?
Or did Nico make a face that looked similar to it and that person just assumed it to be?
Did that person even exist?
Could there be a person that truly loved Nico the way he was?
He sighed. He shouldn't think like this.
If the person didn't exist, then how could he send Nico messages and gifts?
If it was all a joke, why go through the trouble of writing messages and giving him gifts?
He didn't understand.
Nico went to have a really long shower. Mostly, he just stood under the running water, letting it rain down on him with closed eyes, thinking.
He tried to go about it logically, but couldn't make sense of it.
In the end, he just dropped it all.
Who cared?
On Christmas Eve, he'd find out, and then everything would solve itself eventually.
He wished he could hate the person for making him feel this way.
But he knew inwardly that the person meant no harm.
Could anybody give him a Mrs. O'Leary plushie without actually caring about him?
Could anybody give him a camera, which he never had told anybody he wanted, without actually caring about him?
And there he had the perfect example.
The person simply knew him so well.
He had guessed Nico would like a camera. He probably had also guessed Nico would have a cute pouting face.
Matter solved.
End of story.
Nico shut down the water and got out the shower, realizing how he was letting his friends wait on him forever.
"It's none of them." He muttered to himself.
He thought back to their reactions. None of them could have acted that well to actually hide it.
Also, none of them had any reason to.
Seriously, if in some wild, distant fantasy of his, one of those three would come out to him and say 'Hey Neeks, I like you, want to date me?', he'd gladly say yes.
After that someone proved to him he actually didn't mean it as a joke, that was.
He hesitated.
Wasn't that what the admirer had said though? That he wanted to prove his feelings to Nico?
Nico shook the thought out of his head.
"It's none of them." He repeated and looked at himself in the mirror.
He noticed his fingers were touching the skull earrings again. Seriously, somehow he had never taken them out.
He wondered vaguely if he was even supposed to leave them in all the time.
But then again, he didn't really care.
He was too worried he might lose them if he took them off.
Putting his clothes on hurriedly, he left for his friends.
They all still sat where he had left them, looking at him with big eyes.
"You okay?" Jason asked.
"Hm? Yeah, I'm fine. So, let's check out that gift." Nico said hastily and flopped down on the bed, noticing how he had instinctively put more space between them than necessary.
He saw Jason drop his head slightly out of the corner of his eye and knew he had noticed as well.
As he opened the package, he tried to make up for it by coming closer, but he found himself unable to get too close.
Percy took a tentative step towards him, but he didn't look up, his gaze on the small object he
slowly uncovered.
"What's that?" Will asked, frowning.
"Looks like something Leo would build." Jason muttered.
"Is that a crank at the side?" Percy pointed towards the side of the small instrument.
Nico had never seen anything like it.
He turned it around in his hands, when he noticed two straps.
"Is that some sort of watch?"
Nico shrugged and put it around his left wrist. Then he fumbled around with it.
As he turned the crank, the black surface of the object lit up in all the colors of the rainbow.
What? Was this supposed to be him showing the world he was gay?
Next moment, the device made a small buzzing noise and suddenly, there was a perfect rainbow and mist.
"It's an Iris-Messaging-device!" Percy, Jason and Will exclaimed, awed.
Nico only stared. He looked down at the screen.
'Please deposit Drachma now. Tap screen to end connection.'
He tapped the screen and the rainbow faded.
He blinked. "This is…"
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Then he thought of how many times he had had to work hard on getting a good connection with Reyna or Hazel.
He looked around at his friends. "This is amazing. Who would get an idea like that?"
They all grinned at him, shrugging.
"Want to try it out?" Percy asked, eagerly.
Jason chuckled.
"Dude, it's barely 7am in the morning. Who would he call at 7am in the morning?"
Percy jumped up. "How about I run back to my cabin and you try it with me? I want to know if that thing really works!"
Nico blinked. "But that'd be a waste of a drachma!" He muttered.
All three rummaged in their pockets and pulled out a drachma each, passing it to Nico.
"You know what, I'll go back to my cabin too and you try me too." Jason announced.
"And me!" Will chimed in.
And with that, all three hurried out the door.
Nico stared after them.
Then he shook his head, chuckling to himself.
He glanced over at the note again.
It wasn't any of them. But that was okay.
It had just been a mistake.
After giving them all five minutes, he decided to first call up Percy.
When he had the connection up however, he noticed that the screen now read 'Deposit another drachma for additional connection'.
Curious, he did, calling Jason.
It actually worked.
It was as if the screen got split in two like in those games.
Just that instead of top or bottom, it was left and right.
He checked the screen and threw another drachma in, calling Will.
It worked.
"Oh my gods, I can see you all!" Percy exclaimed, a gleam in his eyes.
"This is amazing! I wonder if that thing has connection, like, everywhere." Jason muttered, fascinated.
"This is like high definition for IM-ing, I daresay. I swear, this stuff looks as if you're standing right in front of me!" Will explained enthusiastically, thus waking most of his fellow cabin mates.
"What the hell…"
"What in the name of Apollo…"
"Will, get out!"
"Chat with your boyfriends somewhere else, man!"
"Would you be quiet?!"
Came several complaints and Will made a face.
"Sorry, guys. Anyways, Nico, I'll be on my way back to you, now. See you, babe."
"WOULD YOU BE QUIET?!" Came the yell of several more cabin mates.
Will blew Nico a kiss and ended the call.
Nico stared. Jason and Percy both had their eyebrows raised.
"Nico, I'm on my way. There's no way I'll let him at you!" Jason said and promptly ended the call.
Nico blinked, still flustered.
"Nico?" Percy asked, quietly.
How weird that it was Percy who had kept up the call the longest. "Hm?"
"Would it really be that bad if it turned out to be one of us three? To be your admirer, I mean."
Nico blinked rapidly. "Eh…" Then he blushed. "I…erm…"
Percy looked at him rather thoughtful for a moment, making Nico wonder if he knew who it was.
No, it wasn't any of them. Nico touched his earring absent-mindedly.
"I suppose…I suppose not…I…I mean…you're all straight, so I try not to think of you that way…but I wouldn't…wouldn't mind…" He fidgeted, moving the picture with Percy around with him accidentally.
He forced himself to hold still.
Percy grinned at him. "Okay. I'll be coming over now, too. Want to bet I'm the first one there?"
Nico shrugged. "I know you could make it."
Percy winked. "I will make it."
With that, he ended the call, leaving Nico flustered and alone.
But he didn't mind. He knew his friends were on their way.
...
Percy actually did make it.
Though that was most likely because Will and Jason had been too fixed on getting there first that they had tried stopping each other, while Percy had sneaked past them unnoticed and into Nico's cabin.
Thus, when the others arrived, utterly wet and disheveled, Percy and Nico were sitting on the bed, laughing and grinning at them broadly.
"Told you Jason would be second." Nico said and Percy sighed exasperated, grabbing him and ruffling through his hair.
"Fine, you were right."
"Hey, why did you say I'd be last, Neeks? Unfair!" Will wailed.
Nico chuckled, winding himself out of Percy's grip. "Sorry, Will, but your cabin is the furthest away and I knew Jason was going to do anything to stop you from getting here first."
Jason grinned victoriously at Will, who only pouted.
Then they all laughed and pushed each other around and played.
Which was all well and funny until Will grabbed Nico around the waist, lifted him up way too easily, threw him over his shoulder and ran off.
"Solace!" Jason and Percy both yelled and chased after him.
Will only laughed loudly, ignoring Nico's swearing (gods, he had never sworn that much, at least not out loud) and rushed through his cabin.
Then, suddenly, he grabbed Nico's scarf and aviator's jacket and before Percy or Jason got to him, he rushed outside.
"No! Will! Cold!" Nico wailed and tried kicking, but Will only laughed and stormed off towards the forest, past a few early birds, who only looked around horrified at them dashing past.
"Solace! I swear I'll kill you when I get to you!" Percy yelled after him.
"Don't you dare, Percy! He's mine!" Jason called and they both hurried after Will.
Will ran into the forest, Nico still thrown over his shoulder, grabbing hold of his scarf as it flew off his back and past him.
Really? This was so childish!
Yet he found himself laughing unwillingly.
Will stopped at a small clearing, putting Nico down and instantly pressing him against a big tree.
"Will, what in…"
"Shh…" Will interrupted him and put his hand over Nico's mouth.
Nico felt Will's body heat through his sweater.
Really? Did he have to be that close?
It seemed he had to get even closer, for he pressed his body even more against him, keeping him pinned to the tree behind him, unable to move.
Nico stared up at him.
Will looked off into the distance, a mischievous grin on his face.
He could so be a child of Hermes.
He certainly was troublemaker enough for one.
Though child of Apollo suited him just fine, as well.
Will turned his face, his lips brushing against Nico's forehead ever so slightly.
He was around as tall as Percy, if Nico had to guess.
He felt his face getting hot but pushed it down, closing his eyes shut tightly.
"Nico…" Will breathed quietly, looking down at him.
Nico felt the heat radiating from the blonde, warming him.
He peeked up at him through one eye slightly.
Will grinned down at him.
Then he felt a hand on his chin.
What.
He felt his face being moved upwards.
What?
Will's face came closer, minimizing the space between them.
What?!
Nico stared as Will looked at him through half-closed eyes, his lips maybe half an inch away from Nico's.
What?!
"Solace!" Percy yelled and next moment, Jason and Percy seemed to plummet out of the sky (they probably did…) and tore Will away from Nico.
Nico only stood there, dumbfounded.
What the…what had that been?
He stared without actually processing what they were doing.
While Will was running away again, laughing, Jason chased after him at top speed, and Percy came over and held out his aviator's jacket to him.
"You okay?" He asked worriedly when Nico still didn't take it, staring off into space.
His body was still frozen against the tree.
"Nico?" Percy asked, coming closer slowly, worry in his voice.
Nico blinked. Then he took his jacket, still confused.
"Is everything okay?" Percy asked quietly and reached out a hand tentatively to Nico, touching his shoulder gently.
He shivered under the touch.
Percy took the jacket from Nico's weak grip and put it around him, using it as an excuse to step closer to him.
Then he cautiously lifted his chin with one hand.
Nico flinched and pulled away, stepping back.
"I- I'm fine…" He muttered and slipped into his jacket, wrapping the scarf around himself hastily.
Percy frowned for a moment. "Did Will do something?"
"No!" Nico said way too fast and scolded himself inwardly.
The next moment, Will ran back into the clearing, spotted Nico and instantly hid behind him.
Jason came hurtling in as well, completely out of breath.
"Seriously…what…the hell…are we even doing…here?" He asked, leaning over to catch his breath.
Nico turned his head sideways to Will, who was equally out of breath, grinning at him mischievously.
Had he only misunderstood?
Had that moment been just his imagination?
It had to be.
Nothing else made sense.
And at any rate, why would Will attempt to kiss him, in the first place?
He had probably just gotten closer because he had guessed the other two would be close by.
Percy was still watching him worriedly.
He swallowed and tried a smile. "Guys, erm…thanks for saving me, I suppose? Can we settle on not picking me up and carrying me around, though? I don't think it goes well with my…stomach…" He made up and Will laughed, slowly taking his hands off Nico's shoulders and straightening himself.
"Fine, fair point. Sorry, Neeks. I just wanted to have you to myself for a moment."
"What did you two do?" Percy asked suspiciously.
"Ah, this and that, but all in all, nothing really. You two kind of stopped us before anything could happen, really. Talk about spoilsports."
Nico swallowed hard and started fumbling with his hands.
Percy's eyes narrowed ever so slightly, and he looked ready to kill.
Jason cleared his throat loudly, noticing Nico's behavior as well. "Whatever. Let's just get back inside. It's freaking cold here. Let's grab something to eat and then we can think about what we're going to do. Deal?"
"Deal." Nico muttered instantly, not even really listening to what Jason had said.
Will looked around at him now as well. He nudged him in the side.
"You okay?" He asked and looked concerned.
"I…" What did he want to say? I'm fine? I think so? I think you wanted to kiss me? I don't know?
"Solace. Scram." Jason said, protectively putting his arm around him, pulling him away from Will.
Nico was inwardly relieved.
He felt Jason pulling him with him slowly and went with it, glad that he didn't ask him whether he was okay.
He wasn't okay. Not really.
His heart was in turmoil.
Had Will actually wanted to kiss him?
Or had he just played?
And if he had wanted to kiss him, would Nico really have let him do it just like that?
He didn't know.
He hadn't really refused him or anything.
The other two boys walked behind him, so he couldn't see them.
He also didn't turn around to look at them.
Instead, he leaned slightly against Jason.
Jason was a really great person.
He always made Nico feel somewhat safe.
In a calming type of way.
He never pushed himself onto him, never made him feel all heated and weird.
Of course, Nico admitted he felt somewhat attracted to him, but it was easier to handle with his gentle nature, compared to Percy and Will.
Jason noticed and smiled at him reassuringly, tightening his hold around him.
...
They seriously spent the first Advent Sunday sitting around the Camp Fire all day, playing cards.
Will and Percy didn't speak a word with each other, though neither named a reason.
They happily took each other out in any card game they brought up, usually ending with Jason and Nico competing against each other alone.
Nico didn't really mind. Jason was surprisingly good at card games.
Who knew, maybe Nico would show him how to play Mythomagic at some point.
Not that he still played that game, of course.
He sighed, beating Jason narrowly once more. Then he leaned back in his chair, looking around.
Over the day, most of the kids at camp had come together here. Even Clarisse and her boyfriend stood close to the big fire (due to the cold it was pretty much on all day long, everyday), holding hands and chatting.
He wondered vaguely if his admirer was somewhere here as well.
His eyes fell on Percy, Will and Jason and he looked away hastily again.
None of them.
He thought of that almost-kiss in the forest with Will.
His heart missed a beat.
What if- NO!
He shouldn't think like this.
It had been nothing but a misunderstanding.
Definitely.
If he started thinking like that, he'd only be disappointed in the end.
Not to mention Will would most likely be utterly weirded out.
No, he couldn't do that to him.
He looked around at the campers around him once more.
Then he sighed.
"Hey, Neeks, I have decided." Will suddenly said and they looked around at him.
"Hm?" Nico asked, frowning.
"Remember the day you promised me? I want to take you up on that tomorrow."
Percy growled. "You think I'll leave you alone with him for a whole day after doing gods-know-what to him today in a few minutes?"
While Nico blushed and started stammering, Will scratched the side of his neck embarrassed and Jason's head shot around.
"What did you do?" He asked sharply.
But Will only held up his hands. "I didn't do anything, really. Tell them, Nico!"
Nico felt his ears burning. "He…he really didn't…"
"Nico."
Why was Percy's voice so freaking…persuasive?
Nico felt a shiver run down his back.
Blah.
"He…he really didn't do anything."
Percy didn't look satisfied.
"Well, I won't have it." He said instead and crossed his arms.
Will started protesting. Jason had his gaze fixed on Nico. Nico sighed.
"Guys, it's okay. I promised each of you a day. Tomorrow is Monday. How about I spend tomorrow with Will, next Monday with Percy and the one after that with Jason? That way each of you get your very own day and everybody is happy. Can we just…not argue? It is Christmas time, after all."
For a moment, there was silence.
Then Will nodded. "Fine by me."
"Alright, if you are okay with that, Nico." Jason agreed.
Nico looked around at Percy. Their gazes met.
Nico wanted to squirm away, lower his gaze, hide somewhere.
But he stood his ground.
Will really hadn't done anything other than push him against a tree.
He might have tried to kiss him or whatever, but he hadn't actually done it.
Percy tore his gaze away, looking miffed.
"Fine."
Nico grabbed his hand instinctively, pressing it slightly.
"Thanks. Then it's all settled." He said and pulled his hand back swiftly, scolding himself for touching Percy like that.
Percy only looked around at him slightly surprised, but didn't say anything.
"So, who's up for another game of-…" He started, but was interrupted by a random female camper suddenly popping up at their table.
"Can you guys play strip-poker? You are absolutely hot!" She squealed and then ran off again before they could even answer.
"What…the hell…" Nico muttered, staring after her.
Will started chuckling, first because of the girl, then because of Nico's expression.
Percy and Jason had only raised their eyebrows, but as they looked around at Nico, they also started chuckling.
Nico flushed and looked down, hiding his face. "Why do you always have to laugh about me…" He complained, hiding behind his hands, but they pulled them away.
"We don't laugh about you. We laugh at you. And if you start laughing too, then we'll be laughing with you." Will said, grinning broadly.
Nico sighed and shook his head, though when Jason held up the cards and wriggled his eyebrows, he admitted he had to laugh as well.
"Should we fulfill her wish, then?" Will asked and Percy stretched, flexing his muscles.
"Dude, I'm awesome at Poker. Are you sure you want to sit out here in the cold naked, while I sit here like a boss?"
"Percy, I beat you all in any card game in existence. If anything, you three would be freezing your butts off while I'm still completely dressed." Nico stated grinning.
"Nah, I'd actually beat you this time, Nico, and then I'd be the only one still dressed."
"Are we seriously discussing this right now?" Nico muttered, putting his face into his hands, pictures zooming through his head.
He definitely should not picture them naked. Under no circumstances.
He was so picturing them naked.
"Aww, Neeks, you okay?" Will asked, shaking his shoulder gently.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. No hard feelings."
He thought of what he had just said and found himself chuckling at his own choice of words.
Jason pressed his lips together but also started chuckling.
Percy and Will looked from one to the other, confused.
"Huh?"
"It's an inside joke, sorry." Jason grinned broadly and high-fived with Nico, who still laughed to himself.
They didn't play strip-poker.
Which was good for Jason, Percy and Will, for they played normal poker and Nico beat them in all games.
They kept making up excuses, but all in all, they laughed and admitted defeat.
Though Percy really hadn't been bad. Certainly better than at Canasta.
They had their dinner at Percy's table, for it was closest to the fire and thus the warmest place to sit.
After that, they had slowly trudged back to the cabins, because the space around the Camp Fire was way too crowded now.
"We should seriously start training more, again. We haven't even been in the arena in forever."
Percy moaned and stretched, looking wistfully towards the arena.
"You can take Nico there next Monday." Will offered, only to point out he had Nico for himself tomorrow.
Percy scowled at him. "Ha-ha. I'm going to do something special with him that day, mind you. But maybe this week we can do some training. What do you say, Neeks? Jason?"
Really, did Percy have to make it sound like a date?
To Nico, it definitely sounded like a date.
'I'm going to do something special with him that day'.
He wondered what Percy would think of.
Probably something with water, he guessed. Well, he didn't mind, as long as he survived it and didn't get sick again.
"Sure." He said, belatedly realizing that he wasn't even referring to the training.
Oops.
Oh well, at least he hadn't done any harm by agreeing to it.
"Muahaha, then it's settled. We'll be training this week. You better watch your back, Solace."
"Percy, stop scaring him." Jason chided.
"I'm not scared." Will retorted sourly.
"You should be." Both Jason and Nico muttered.
Will made a face.
Percy chuckled menacingly.
"Then again, I know Percy would never truly harm you, because he knows I would be pretty upset about that." Nico added and Percy scowled.
"He doesn't need to know that. Let me have some fun torturing him."
Nico rolled his eyes.
Jason chuckled.
They bade their goodbyes to Will, who was the first to get dropped off tonight.
As they walked away, Nico sighed.
"He didn't do anything, you know…" He muttered to Percy, but Percy only shook his head.
"I know what I saw, Nico. You looked devastated. I thought for a moment you were going to cry."
Nico looked away.
Jason got closer and looked at them questioningly.
Nico sighed, deciding it was time to change the topic.
"So, anyways, what are you two going to do tomorrow?" He asked casually and noticed Percy sniffing annoyed at him not being honest with him.
"I was thinking I would just spend the day catching up with Leo. We didn't really get around to talk much the two times I saw him." Jason answered instantly and grinned broadly at Nico.
Nico blinked and nodded quietly.
"Sounds like a plan. And you, Percy?"
"Hm. Probably gonna train."
"Really? Well, if you want to. Don't overdo it, though."
"Of course not. If I get sore muscles, I won't be able to kick Will's butt."
"Seriously, what is it with you and Will? Nico, tell me, did I miss something in the forest?"
"Nothing happened. Damn it, why do you both care so much, anyways? I'm a grown guy. I can take care of myself. And anyways, he's Will, and he's my friend. What's he gonna do?"
There was silence.
"Exactly." Nico muttered and walked towards his cabin quickly.
He watched the other two exchange glances out of the corner of his eye, but ignored them.
"Well, goodnight, Nico." Jason said as they dropped him off.
"Night, you two. Sleep well."
"Don't forget to put your pyjama pants on." Percy added and Nico turned around to glare at him, but he only chuckled quietly and waved.
Nico rolled his eyes and went inside.
