Percy's POV
After we had gone inside, I decided to shower. Once I was done, Nico took one. By then my mom was awake, and she made us clean up the kitchen. Once we were done, Nico and I headed up to our room to hang out. We really didn't have anything else to do. I jumped on the bed, and Nico pulled out the laptop. I looked at Nico, and felt a pang in my chest. Who ever Nico liked, sure was lucky. When i had first met him, he had taken me by storm. Sure i had a crush on Annabeth at that time, but he was perfect. Perfect in a way that Annabeth could never be. It was hard to explain, but since then, i felt this need for Nico. It hadn't exactly been love at first sight, but it sure was a pretty big like at first sight. I loved how his hair swept over his head, and his hazel eyes that were so dark people mistook them for black, but I knew the difference. I loved the way he could be so sarcastic one minute, but completely serious the next. Nico's hair was still damp from the shower, and it was plastered to his forehead. I blinked, and shook my head. It wasn't possible, it was impossible, that i had...feelings for the younger boy.
I jumped up, and sat across from Nico. "Let's play truth or dare." i said brightly.
Nico's POV
Truth or dare? i thought. Why? "Okay." i agreed softly. Percy grinned and looked at me. "You first." He said. i laughed and looked at Percy. "Truth or dare Perce?" I asked.
Percy sat in thought for a moment before closing his eyes. "I'm going to regret this, but dare." He said quietly. I smirked. What's something he hates to do... I thought. I looked at Percy, and smirked again. "Take off your shirt." I said mischievously.
Percy groaned inwardly. He pulled his shirt up, and I took in the view. "C'mon Perce. It's not that bad." I said. Percy groaned again and looked at me. "I don't even take off my shirt for swimming." He said. I giggled and nodded. "I know."
Percy looked at me with a death glare, and said bitterly. "Truth or dare?" I decided to choose the safe option. "Truth."
Percy's pov
He chose truth. Well crap. I thought for a moment before smirking. He was going to get it. Payback bruh. "Does you're crush go to camp?" I asked. He looked flustered, before nodding. Percy thought for a moment, before gasping. To have a crush on someone, you had to know them. And last night he had said it was his friend. The only friends he had were Annabeth and I. He was gay...that means...it wasn't me was it?! It couldn't be..
"Nico...who is it?" I asked. He grew pale, and looked down. "You already know don't you." He whispered. I looked down. Did I? I looked up, and whispered. "I hope I'm right."
He looked confused. "What do you mean Percy?" He said, getting quieter.
Percy looked down. "It's me, isn't it?" He said, looking in Nico's eyes. Nico looked down, and there were tears forming in his eyes. "Go ahead and hate me now." He said, curling his hands into fists.
Percy put his fingers under Nico's chin, lifting his head. "Didn't you hear me?" Percy said, getting closer to Nico with every word. "I hoped I was right. And I was." He whispered, his lips ending up right by Nico's. he smashed their lips together, and pulled Nico closer.
