The screeching breaks echoed through the night as the car Percy and Nico was in came to a slow halt in front of Percy's apartment. Percy placed the car in park and set the parking break. He looked over at the clock, 11:15 PM. Percy yawned, he looked at Nico and chuckled softly. Nico had fallen asleep again and he was leaning against the window, his head was angled down a light blush was present upon his pale cheeks.
Percy leaned in to examine Nico; he never could look at Nico this long. Once Nico caught Percy staring at him and was almost slapped when Nico was yelling at Percy for staring at him but Percy was in a daze and didn't even hear Nico yelling. Percy smiled; he looked away to text his mom about their arrival. Nico mumbled something under his breath. He took a deep breath and began to slip off the headrest. Percy looked over at his sleeping passenger "oh" Percy quickly removed his seatbelt and leaned in to catch Nico with his shoulder. He smiled and continued to text.
Nico sighed in his sleep and cuddled closer to his comfortable 'pillow'. Percy felt chills run up his spine as Nico sighed. 'Damn, why do I like being this close to him? Nico hates me, well I think he still might, I'm not to entirely sure. But…I wonder what he would do if he woke up and found himself laying on me?' Percy laid his head gently on top of Nico and closed his eyes, just for a brief second.
Percy's cell phone vibrated, he read the message and slipped the phone back into his pocket. 'It's time to wake him up.' Percy brushed some strands of hair out of Nico eyes, "Nico we're here it's time to wake up." Percy pulled his hand away as Nico's eyes fluttered open and he looked up at Percy. His cheeks blossomed a deeper shade of red. He pulled away from Percy and rubbed his eyes.
"Sorry about that." Nico averted his eyes from Percy. He picked his backpack from the floorboard and ran his fingers through his hair.
Percy grabbed his keys from the incision, "Don't be sorry. I didn't mind you laying on me." He got out of the car, leaving Nico blushing deeper than ever, to frozen to move. His heart was pounding within his chest. 'Damit! Heart calm down, I-I can't let Percy see me like this. If he suspects anything, he will hate me for sure. Then I won't, of sure, have any friends!'
"Nico are you coming inside?" Percy questioned as he opened Nico's door.
Nico got out of the car quickly and calmed himself down. "Yeah, I just thought I dropped something." 'Yeah like my dignity!'
"Did you find what you were looking for," Percy asked.
"Yeah, I found it." Nico smiled at Percy to reassure his answer.
Percy turned around and led Nico into the apartment. Nico sighed, 'I'm so glad I was able to find a person like you Percy.'
"Finally after looking for two hours we finally found a hotel that's decent and has a reasonable price!" Edward lead the way into the small hotel room. He placed his suit case down and threw himself onto the bed.
"I call shower first!" Daniela announced layer her suitcase on the other bed, she quickly pulled out what she needed and headed straight for the shower.
Alphonse took a seat on the bed Edward was laying on. "Tonight was a pretty good night wasn't it brother?"Alphonse sighed happily.
Edward sat up and looked at his Alphonse, something was a little off about his brother. "Al do you want to explain?"
"Explain what?" Alphonse looked at his brother.
"You seemed like you've been going off in daydreams lately. Are you ok?"
"Yeah! It's just…well lately I've been getting these feeling."
"About what? What kind of feelings?"
Alphonse looked back at the bathroom door.
Edward got it eminently. "You love Daniela!" he shouted.
Alphonse covered Edward's mouth, "Shhh! Brother! What the heck brother! Are you trying to get us thrown out of here?"
Edward pulled Alphonse's hands off his mouth and laughed. He rolled over on the mattress from laughing so hard. Alphonse turned away from Edward, his hands were trembling from anger and from embarrassment.
Edward finally calmed down and sat up, "Alphonse I'm sorry for laughing, I wasn't laughing at you. Just the thought my younger brother is in love for the first time."
Alphonse looked back at Edward, "whenever I'm close to her, my hands shake, but I have no idea if she likes me the same way though."
Edward smiled, he punched Alphonse gently in the arm with his automail arm. "Don't worry Al in time all will fall into place."
Alphonse sighed. "I guess your right brother."
Edward grinned, "of course I am! Now just relax and let things play out."
Alphonse nodded , "right!"
