Nico's pov
Is he...kissing me? The Percy Jackson, was kissing me? I must be dreaming.. But, it felt, so real. Percy pulled away, smiling. I smiled, looking in his eyes. Percy rested his head against my forehead gently. "That..was.." He started. "Perfect.." I finished, breathless. He nodded, and closed his eyes. I smiled blissfully. He grabbed my hands holding them. I intertwined our fingers. He smiled faintly, and squeezed my hand. "Percy, where does this put us?" I asked quietly, frowning. He looked up, with wide eyes. "Where do you want to be?" He asked. I looked at him and sighed. "Don't ask me that. You might not like the answer." I replied gently. He frowned, and looked at me. "Nico. Would you.." He trailed off. Would I what?!
Percy's pov
Why did I even ask? It wasn't like he would. My best friend wouldn't, hadn't I learned that the hard way?
Nico waved his hand in front of my face. Huh? I hadn't even realized he had let go of my hand. "Huh?" I asked. Nico sighed. "I asked what you were gonna say, you kinda trailed off." He said. I turned pale. "Oh, never mind. It's stupid." I said, looking away from him. He put his hand on my cheek. "You can tell me Perce." I shivered when he used my nickname, but didn't look at him. "I was...gonna ask you to go out with me..but never mind, it's stupid. You don't want to, so forget it." I said, sighing. He turned my head so I was facing him, and leaned in, and kissed me. I kissed back immediately, and smiled. He pulled away, and looked at me. "Now, who said I would say no, because I'm gonna have to bash their head in, because, yes." He whispered, leaning closer, until he was mumbling the words against my lips. I kissed him, smiling. He was mine. Completely mine.
