Nico POV
As I was heading to my room with Percy following behind me I was remembered the day he managed to get me over Thaila and more head over heels over him.
Flashback
I was sitting in Cabin 13, willing myself to stop crying. It didn't work instead I was crying more. I never understood why Aphrodite made it her job to make my love life a living hell.
Apparently, Percy and Thaila decided they would decide who deserved me more and Percy won. It's not like I didn't love Percy, it's just I couldn't help feeling down when Thaila came in my cabin and told me she had to let me go. We've been through so much together it seemed fairly stupid for us to say goodbye based on a stupid match of Rock, Paper, Scrissors, Gun.
I was jolted from all my thoughts when I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see no one else but Percy. I was still deciding if I wanted to be his boyfriend or not, but the way he seemed to want an answer so soon was really getting me angry.
"Nico, I know you're upset and sad but, you do know you're not alone, right?"
"Perce, I don't know, If I can talk to you about this without hurting you're feeling's."
"Shoot"
"What?"
"I'm telling you, tell me what's on you're mind, it will help you straighten you're thoughts and make it easier to decide what to do."
"Are you insane? What if my thought's hurt you and we wouldn't even be friends anymore."
"You're just making excuses to not overcome the truth."
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No!"
"Then prove it!"
"Fine! I'm angry that you and Thaila were too impatient for me to decide and now I have to say goodbye to my bestfriend and ex girlfriend."
"Would you have done anything if you had more time?"
"Ummmm… maybe, it's just I don't know what you guys think about me, I mean you say you're in love with me but you don't explain why? I mean who could ever love me?"
Percy put his finger to my mouth that signaled for me to be quiet. He took a deep breath and said " Nico, have you ever notice how amazing you are, how you can do anything in the world if you put you're mind on it. Well, obviously you haven't because were here in you're cabin talking about why you think that I don't love you. But, the truth is I would do anything for you because just seeing you're smile makes me the most happiest person in the world. It hurts me that you don't see how extraordinary you are and you're right it would hurt me if you don't love me back but, I wouldn't hold that against you."
I felt a tear go across cheek, " Percy it's not that I don't love you, I mean I liked you since I first meet you but, once you finally told me you like me I was in love with someone else."
"Nico, I'm sorry it took me a while, I really am, but I'm here now and I promise I will never hurt you and wouldn't let someone make you cry like you are right now, you don't understand how much I love you."
As soon as I heard him say those words all I could do was look in his eyes, they screamed you words to me, one meaning worry another was love and right then I realized Percy wasn't joking about liking me and was practically begging for me to love him.
The thing was deep down I knew when I was dating Thaila that I would never be over Percy because he was everything I loved and reminded me of love every time I saw him.
And, I remembered all those times I wished I didn't love him, the time when he failed to protect Bianca and remembered he was the cause of my biggest heart ache of all time.
"How can I trust you."
"What do you mean?"
"How do I know you wouldn't break my heart again."
"Well… you can trust me when I say I'm in love with you or I can show you I love you."
I knew where he was going with this but, I wanted to play the dumb blonde card.
I came closer to Percy and said " What do you mean?"
He answered by leaning in and kissing me with the passion that I knew was full of lust and love.
That was the start of our love, the next day I was know longer dating Thaila or a virgin.
End of Flashback
"Percy I know you're nervous about Thaila being here but" I looked in his eyes and saw once I mentioned Thaila's name, his eyes were starting to get teary eyed. Again, another way I know he loves me, I know he wouldn't be this sad if I mentioned Thaila's name and he didn't love me. " you have nothing to worry about, I love you more than I ever have."
Once our lips met I knew it was true, I am in love with Percy Jackson and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
"Is that a yes" He mumbled while trying to catch his breath.
"Yes, that's a yes with are engagement." I said pulling him closer to me.
No more Thalico as promised; next Chapter Jason gets a girlfriend!
