Authors note: hey guys! This is the final part of the story so yeah... hope you like it.

Disclaimer: we all know the drill by now. I am not Rick Riordan and do not own the amazing-ness of Leo or Nico or any other characters.

Nico's POV

Leo and Nico were making out in the engine room like they normally did.

The son of hades shoved Leo against the wall, switching to tracing kisses down his neck, causing Leo to gasp and pull Nico really tightly against him. But something was up with Leo this time; Nico could sense it. Earlier when they'd managed to have ten minutes together, Leo had been fine. However since then he'd been more subdued than normal and now it was more like he was going through the motions rather than meaning it. This got Nico worried. What if Leo was having second thoughts? Nico didn't think he'd be able to stand it if Leo left him to. First Bianca had died, then Percy... he knew Percy only saw him as like a little brother nothing else and besides since he'd met Leo , Nico's feelings about the son of Poseidon had changed. If Leo left him then Nico would have no one, going back to his previous depressed state, knowing his love for someone was –again-completely useless.

Whilst Nico had been thinking, he hadn't noticed they'd stopped kissing. They were just standing there, leaning against each other, neither of them able to get the courage up to ask the other what they were thinking. Finally Nico couldn't stand the silence anymore "why do I get the feeling that you're distracted?" he asked. Leo jumped at the question but then tried for a (completely fake) smile, saying "what do you mean?!" 'Uh-oh, this can't be good if Leo's trying to deny it.' Nico thought. But Nico knew how to deal with this. He looked deeply into Leo's warm brown eyes "don't lie to me." He whispered. Leo was suddenly interested in the floor so Nico decided to help him slightly. "Leo, i-if you don't want this," he gestured to them, still keeping his voice soft "then all you need to do is say." Leo looked shocked. "That's not... I mean... I do want this!" he managed to say. "Then what is the problem?" Nico asked, genuinely confused now.

"The problem is we're going to have to come out soon, right?"

"Well... Jason and Percy already know about me being gay and they've probably told at least some of the others." Nico admitted.

"But they don't know about me being bi do they?" Leo insisted.

"No, but I'm sure they'd be fine with it." He assured Leo, hugging him.

"What if they're not 'fine with it' though?"

"They will be. And if they aren't... well, they weren't very good friends in the first place were they?" Leo nodded and leaned against Nico. Nico smiled, happy that his earlier worrying wasn't needed, resting his head against the top of Leos'.

No one's POV

"Whoa, guys. Come and have a look at this!" Piper said excitedly. Jason, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel and Frank all crowded round piper to see what she had seen. Collective 'awww's came from the group as they saw Leo, asleep, leaning against Nico, who was also asleep. "They are so cute together!" was annabeth's hushed exclamation. "Shh! We don't want to wake them up." Was Jason's response. Hazel just stood there, wide eyed in astonishment. She turned to frank and whispered in his ear "but they're both guys?"

"Yeah, that sort of things much more accepted now than it was in the 40's" he explained. "oh." Hazel replied.

"I think you owe me five drachmas." Jason said to Percy, who was slightly annoyed he'd lost the bet on who Nico's crush was, but handed over the gold coins anyway.

"What was that?" Nico said from inside the engine room. "Sounded like voices." Leo replied. The others just had time to give each other panicked looks before the door opened fully with a very annoyed son of Hades and a blushing and embarrassed son of Hephaestus. Piper beamed at them both, beginning the interrogation by saying "So, when did you two become an item and when were we going to be told?"

Ta da! This concludes my first ever story (on here anyway) 'On board the Argo II'! I hope you enjoyed it, tell me if you did- or if you didn't then please tell me why ( in a nice way though). See ya!
