Every time I see "HOO" I think of HOOT

Nico's POV
I was at Candy's mansion in the peaceful woods. Her mansion...Er… I mean our mansion is located near Mount Hoods in Oregon. Candy told me that she was adopted by a really nice gay couple when she was 2 years old. She was really happy and no monsters attacked her. Then she turned 9 and Echidna attacked her. Her parents defended her. Her dads were killed by Echidna. She couldn't remember how she escaped Echidna. Candy was orphaned again but since her parents left their wills for her, she had a home and money. She recalls the night the wolves came to get her to Lupa. But (like me) she felt like she didn't belong there. Then she left to go explore and found Camp Half-Blood. She felt more at home there but hated the pitiful faces the campers gave her when she tried to "socialize". Her only friends from Camp Half-Blood was Rachel. Candy had more friends in Camp Jupiter. She ran away and occasionally visited both camps. I'm not entirely sure. After the second Titan War, she was never claimed. She still doesn't know who is her godly parent is. *snap*
I looked up to see Candy snapping her fingers at me.
"Earth to Nico!" Candy said. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just wondering...why didn't I ever see you in the camps or heard about you?" I asked her.
"Well I hid mostly in here but I'm really quiet so no one notices me. I barely have friends so that helped. My only true friends are well...you know them already." Candy said. I thought for a while.
"Jason's girlfriend?" I said. She nodded.
"The twins, Melody and Carmina. And Addison." she said.
"Isn't it weird that you, Gabby, the twins, and Addison all have fiery eyes? And that the five of you don't know who your godly parent is OR your mortal parent." I said.
"I thought about that too but...well… I don't know. At first I thought that we may have the same godly parent but we each have a different powers and abilities." she said with her head down.
"We'll find out...eventually." I said. I feel really bad about doing this to her. I have to tell her the truth about my feelings. She hasn't used her powers against me because I'm her first boyfriend. I feel really guilty. I have to tell her.
Candy's POV
Me and Nico decided to walk around the woods. I guess that wasn't a good idea but I needed some fresh air. We stopped at a place that looked like that place in Twilight when Edward and Bella lie down. I laughed. Nico looked at me.
"What?" He asked. But I couldn't stop laughing. I pointed to the place. He looked at it for a few seconds. Then he stepped into the sunlight. "Am I glittering?" We both fell laughing. It took us a good 10 minutes for us to stop laughing and making jokes. We stood up and Nico looked serious. Weird.
"Why did you get serious?" I asked him.
"I-I-I have to tell you something." He said. Suddenly, I was scared. Was he going to break up with me? Is he going to tell me a secret? Or… Is he going to say that he loves me? I smiled.
"Ok." I said giddily.
"So...The thing is….I kinda...well...Percy...is" he said. I heard a rustling sound.
"Shhh…" I heard it again. The sound was coming from behind me. I took out my whip. I looked at Nico. He had drawn his sword. Nico tapped my shoulder.
"Why is the grass moving?" he whispered. What? Then I noticed what he meant. There was no wind. There was the rustling again. Too late. I fell on the ground. I was being dragged away quickly.
"STUPID WHEAT CHERUBS!" I shouted. I still had my whip in my hand. Everything was going to fast. I lashed out and my whip grabbed on to something. I nearly popped my shoulder. But I was let go.
"NICO!" I yelled. I heard rustling again. Ugh! If only Hazel was here. She could have summoned schist. Those wheat bastards hate it.
"CANDY!" I saw something being dragged. I realized that it was Nico. I panicked. So I used my whip and hoped that it wouldn't hurt Nico too much. Wait! NO! I closed my eyes when I lashed out my whip. I opened my eyes to see Nico slicing up the wheat monsters. When he was finished I ran at him. "Whoa!" he said as I hugged him. I cried in Nico's chest. I guess I should explain that I was emotional because my monthly friend is here.
"I thought I you were going to get taken away!" I cried. He held me.
"Shhh...It's ok. I'm here now." he said. I smiled as I looked up at him. I love you, Nico. Nothing will ever separate us.
Nico's POV
I left the mansion and was walking in the woods leading to Camp Half-Blood. I have to think. What should I do? I can't tell Candy. When she looks at me, she has this look of love that I see on Percy's face….but when he looks at Annabeth… I should tell Candy. She deserves the truth. But it'll break her heart. Ugh! I don't know what to do. I'm not even sure about my feelings. For her and for...for him. I see them everyday but I-I-I UGH!
"I FUCKING HATE THIS!" I yelled as I took out my sword and hit a nearby boulder so hard that it broke into small pieces. I was breathing heavily.
"Hate what?" someone asked. I looked up and saw Percy's face glowing in the sunlight. He looked concerned. "Are you ok, Nico?" he asked. I felt my face heat up from embarrassment.
"Uhh...I can't swim?" I said stupidly. Percy smiled. OH MY FREAKING GODS!
"I can teach you! C'mon!" he said. He grabbed me and pulled me to a nearby lake.
"I don't need-uhh." I said. Percy was taking off his shirt. My voice turned into a high squeak "Why are you taking off your shirt?" My cheeks flared hot. Percy started walking towards me. And I walked backwards. "I don't need swimming lessons!"
"C'mon! It'll be fun!" he said. "Nico! Watch out!" he tried warning me. I walked too far back and fell off the dock. I can't see. Water rushed in my nose and mouth. I blacked out.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What should happen when he wakes up!?
Perico anyone? Just once? I kinda fangirled while I was typing this. SO BE GLAD I SURVIVED! OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT till I type the next chapter(Warning: It will be a small one b/c I need to get back to the present)
