Tag Scene - One hour after Annabeth came back.
Nico had left the camp quietly. He knew she would tell Percy the truth. He had to leave before Percy came after him.
Besides…he had seen Percy hugging Annabeth. Seen them kissing. Heard her forgive him.
He growled. Very well.
He would wait.
He was patient.
Someday, Annabeth will die. Someday. And when she did, he would bring comfort to Percy again.
Percy might not like him much now, but a lot could change in a span of a single lifetime. Nico grinned ruthlessly. He would always stand between them. Little notes, brief words spoken to Percy during dream visits…Nico chuckled. He had all the time in the world to win Percy over again.
After all, those apples that he had shared with Percy weren't normal apples.
Nico smiled and slipped away.
He would stay in the shadows...and wait.
No, I'm not making a sequel to this.
The rest is left to you guys' imagination. Perhaps Annabeth gets an apple of her own? Or perhaps the next fruit Nico will give Percy will be a pomegranate? ; )
Hope it didn't disappoint. :D
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!
