WARNING: smutty/lemony chapter

The next day, after Nico ate lunch, he decided to visit the forest. He walked around, his Stygian iron sword hanging from his belt. After wandering around aimlessly, he found himself muttering things.

He blushed, only to realize that no one else was around.

"Stupid." he said, hitting his head.

Leo was walking back from Bunker 9 when he saw his lover pacing and talking to himself. He walked over, wrapping his arms around him tightly.

Jumping and twisting himself from his grip, Nico turned and saw that it was Leo. "Dude, warning please?" he said, laughing and unstrapping his sword. Tossing it on the grass, he stretched his arms out for a hug.

Instead, Leo slipped around, hugging him from behind. "You know what I was thinking about today?" he asked, finding enjoyment in the fact that he had become nearly as tall as the Italian.

"No..." Nico said, raising his eyebrows in confusion.

Leaning closer to his ear, Leo smirked. "Something I love." he whispered seductively, his warm breath sending chills down Nico's spine.

"If this is a come-on for sex, it's totally working." Nico muttered, watching Leo carefully.

His deep laugh rang in his ear. "We could always do that later, but no." he said, his raspy voice becoming harsher.

Slipping his hands into Nico's front pockets, Leo nibbled his ear quickly, clearly amused by the gasp that escaped his lover's mouth.

"You've got this whole tough-guy act, and you put it on pretty well. But I love that I can shatter it and render you helpless if I want to." he explained, rubbing circles on his thighs through his pockets.

Nico laughed slightly, tilting his head back and resting it on Leo's shoulder. "Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, my lion." he mocked.

"You know it's true." Leo whispered, shifting around to stand in front of Nico.

"Sure." the older of the two teased, trying to prove he wasn't as easy as he was.

Shoving him up against a tree, Leo yanked down his jeans, pressing his hand to Nico's crotch. His other hand held his head as he kissed him, almost violently.

The Hispanic teen pulled away after a minute, grinning at the fact that his lover was gasping for breath and moaning as Leo increased the pressure on his center.

"L-Leo..." he stuttered. He tried backing further against the tree, but it was no use.

"See!" Leo exclaimed, rubbing his hand in slow circles.

In between moans, Nico managed to get words out of his mouth. "You do realize we can't have sex in the woods, right?"

Leo nodded, watching his hand and eying his growing bulge. After a few more seconds of torturing his lover, he released him, stepping back.

Nico slid his back down the tree, dropping to the ground. His center was throbbing, and he was nearly in pain from the pleasure.

Smirking confidently, Leo held out his hand. "Cuddle in your cabin, my little kitten?" he asked, helping his boyfriend to his feet.

"I don't know why you get to be the king of the feline family, and I'm a damn cat." Nico said, pulling his jeans up.

Kissing his cheek, Leo pulled him towards camp. "Cause I never knew you could be so affectionate, and I'm sure you never knew I could be rough with you."

Smiling, Nico silently agreed. "But why do you always get to pleasure me?"

Shrugging, Leo took his hand as he walked.

In his mind, Nico promised himself that HE would be the one making Leo incoherent today.

Pushing the door to his cabin open, Nico led him inside, kicking his boots off and pulling off his black t-shirt. Leo did the same, following the older boy to his bed.

He slipped under the covers, and Leo joined him.

"Get over here, I need to be warm." Nico half-whined, snuggling up against Leo's body. Wrapping his arms around him, Leo whimpered happily.

Nuzzling his head into his chest, Nico grinned as Leo chuckled softly.

"This is why you're my kitty." Leo whispered as Nico's legs tangled themselves with his.

"I have to admit, it sounds friggin cute." Nico mumbled, becoming drowsy from the heat Leo always gave off.

"Kitty kitty kitty. My kitty." Leo repeated, kissing his forehead.

Nico rested his head under Leo's chin, using the opportunity to leave his mark on his lover's skin.

Kissing his throat, he grazed his teeth against the skin, earning a small groan. Sticking his tongue out and running it across a patch of skin, he pushed Leo over so he was hovering above him. Nipping at the skin, he felt Leo's erection press against his leg.

"Unh..." Leo moaned, running a hand into his boxers and touching himself slowly to relieve the pain starting there.

Smirking, Nico slipped his hand into Leo's boxers, rubbing his thumb over his tip. "You look adorable when you touch yourself." he whispered, sucking at his throat. He pressed his hand harder into his skin as the Hispanic teen moaned. "But it's my turn today." he growled, and Leo knew what he meant.

Kissing his lips hungrily, Nico unbuttoned his jeans and kicked them off. He did the same with Leo's, sliding them down to his ankles. He pushed them out of his bed with his foot, and they fell into a heap on the floor.

Tilting himself up, Nico pulled the covers off of them. Yanking Leo's boxers down, he smirked up at his lover. His brown eyes were filled with fear, anticipation of the pain.

Noticing the look in his eyes, Nico instantly forgave him for all the torturing pleasure and teasing he had done. He slid himself over Leo's chest, planting a soft kiss on his lips. "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you. It doesn't really hurt that much." he assured him.

He slipped his boxers down, gripping Leo's hand. Slowly, he slid into his Hispanic lover.

Leo cried out from pain and pleasure, holding his hand with a death grip.

"Shh, it's okay." Nico comforted, keeping still so Leo could get used to his size. He kissed his lips a few times, trying to ease the pain.

Shaking, Leo whimpered, his muscles becoming stiff.

The pain he was causing Leo was making Nico upset. "Do you want me to stop?" he asked, a tone of worry in his voice.

With a shake of his head, Leo calmed down. "N-no." he stuttered, managing a smile. "This f-feels r-really good."

Nico grinned, releasing his hand. "No!" Leo protested, grabbing for his hand.

"I need my hands, Leo." he said, and his lover reluctantly agreed.

Taking a deep breath, Nico gave him a small thrust. A long moan from pleasure left Leo's mouth, and he surrendered, abandoning any ideas of trying not to moan.

Meeting Nico's eyes, he nodded, silently telling him not to hold back. Smirking, Nico braced himself, thrusting harder and making sure their pelvic bones slammed together.

With every thrust, Leo's moans got louder and his breathing became more ragged. And every time he pushed into Leo, Nico's thrusts got weaker. Spanish curses left his lover's mouth, causing Nico to curse in Italian.

Gasping for breath, Leo watched his lover. "N-Nico..." he moaned, crying out from pleasure.

Not answering, Nico thrusted one last time, making this one hard. Nearly screaming, Leo released.

Sweat dripped off the Italian's forehead as he held his hand patiently over Leo's erection as he came. Licking his fingers clean obediently, he slipped himself out of his lover and laid down next to him.

He pulled Leo to rest in his arms, kissing his forehead as he shook slightly.

"Shh, baby, it's okay." he whispered, feeling guilty.

Leo groaned, his lower body feeling tingly. "Mnh..." he moaned incoherently, wriggling around.

Nico sighed, nearly in tears. "I'm sorry, Leo." he whispered.

Looking up, Leo frowned, upset. "I'm fine! C'mere, my little kitty." he whispered back, brushing a tear off Nico's cheek with his thumb. Kissing his lips, he swiftly pushed his lover onto his back, palming his crotch.

"Payback." he said, grinning evilly. Pressing his hand hard against Nico's lower body, he smiled triumphantly as the Italian surrendered, letting himself go limp.

A whimper escaped his lips, and Leo looked up to meet his eyes. Realizing he was crying, the Latino moved his hand away and pulled Nico into his arms.

"Did I really hurt you?" Nico sniffed, laying on top of Leo.

Rubbing his back, Leo tried to comfort him. "No, my kitty. You were amazing." he murmured.

Shock spread over Leo. He had never, ever seen Nico cry. It was like the walls he built up for so long crumbled in seconds, and it was painful to watch.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he buried his face in Leo's chest.

"Stop snivelling. I'm perfectly fine." Leo said, shaking his arm. "It was just me adjusting to it."

Nico looked up, not convinced. "Prove it." he said.

"Fuck me again, and we'll test your theory." Leo said, and Nico laughed. "No, but seriously. You were wonderful."

Nico pressed his lips to his lovers, and they shared a long, much-needed kiss.

"Go tell her." he whispered, resting his forehead on Leo's.

"What?" Leo asked, acting confused even though he knew what Nico meant.

Nudging his head against his, he grinned as he rolled off his lover. "Tell Reyna. I know you're thinking about it."

Nodding, Leo kissed him again and slipped back into his underwear. He pulled on his jeans, kissing Nico one last time.

"You're the best kitty I could ever ask for." he said, pulling on his shirt and boots as he walked out.
