A/N- Okay just so people aren't confused, the italicized is all talking on the phone. Also the ** is Percy's roommate who I haven't introduced yet but he gets to talk a bit while Percy is on the phone. Hopefully it isn't too confusing.
Enjoy!
Percy
*Roommate*
Nico
"I don't wanna get up."
"*We have class you have to.*"
"Mhmm what?"
"Five more minutes."
"*I let you sleep in ten already, let's go.*"
"Ugh can't I skip. I'll call in sick."
"Lazy ass."
"You're one to be talking. You fell asleep last night."
"*Who are you talking to?*"
"A very rude person."
"Just for that I'm going back to sleep."
"Can I stay home and do that?"
"*Do what? Percy who are you talking to? We're gonna be late.*"
"Fine I'm getting up."
"Have a good day in class sunshine."
"Jerk."
You're mean
How so?
Going back to bed while I suffer this alone
You're not alone, you have your friend
He's the one forcing me to go. I hate morning classes!
Then why did you take one?
I thought I could do it
Bad idea
You're telling me -_-
Well it sucks to suck. I have a nice bed calling me name
I want to get back in bed but nooooo I'm being drug across the campus into math. MATH! Who ever thought of a morning math class was definitely sadistic
Mhmm sure
G'night Ghostie
Leftover pizza for lunch!
Plus some NSYNC music videos cuz why not?
Or a nap, nap sounds nice
Must be nice to sleep the day away
I wish I had that privilege
College life is hard
Tomorrow is Friday though! And I don't have any Friday classes!
I think my friends wanted to go do something but I'm not sure yet..
Are you really going to sleep the day away?
If you really must know, I had a meeting then lunch with my sister
So no I wasn't sleeping the day away. I was being productive
OO good! I thought I was going to have to call you a billion times until you woke up
I've been awake since shortly after you went to class. My manager called me and had me go in to talk about the new cover then my sister wanted to get lunch so I took her to La Luna
Oo really?! What's the new cover gonna look like? And really La Luna? You knew I was in class and couldn't go stalk the place out!
Exactly why I went. And I'm not gonna tell you what it looks like, it's a surprise
Now that's just mean :( for both parts
You don't get special privileges just because you annoy me and try to stalk me
I think I should get all the privileges for that! Especially since you know my name and address!
Not my fault you made it so easy *shrug*
Ugh you are just impossible! I can't get anywhere with you!
Maybe invest in a better stalking machine?
Nope too lazy and I'm back in my fort
Your roommate didn't destroy it?
Nooooooo I wouldn't let him. He has accepted it and is now curled up on his own bed of pillows doing homework
You two are childish smh
You're just mad cuz we have all the fun while you are stuck being an adult doing adult things
I'm fine in my two story house with my king sized bed and silk sheets thank you
I BET YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF EXTRA BEDROOMS, WE COULD MAKE SO MANY FORTS!
How did you make it to college again?
If I said my good looks would you believe me?
Uhh nope not good enough
Well damn. Then I stole someone's transcripts and got in under false pretense
Now that I believe
Why is that?
Cuz there is no way you got in by sleeping through high school and making pillow forts
You should eat your words because that's exactly what happened lol
Sure whatever you say Percy.. I mean if that's really your name
-_- I'm starting to think I liked you better when you were all dark and mysterious… You were nicer that way
What, me nice? Never.
I can see that lol
Oo gods
What?
Everyone has decided to pile into my room for a board game night since no one has class tomorrow
Sounds troublesome
Last time we did this, somehow Monopoly ended up on fire and Frank's snake disappeared and ended up in the girls bathroom
Dare I ask?
Well Frank has a thing for animals and he brought a pet snake to the dorms to live with him. It's a decent sized corn snake. Well normally he carries him around with him. It was a normal night and things were going well and we were playing Monopoly when all of a sudden, Leo caught fire (which isn't uncommon, he plays with fire all the time) the flames made their way to the board. Sometime in all that confusion, the snake bolted and we searched for hours. We found him when one of the girls started screaming and bolted out of their bathroom. Needless to say, we don't let Leo bring fire to our room anymore and Frank's snake stays home
Umm interesting. I think…
Ah it makes for a lively night lol
That's just too much human interaction for me
You really do need to get out more
I prefer not. I like my life. I can stay at home and write and have very little human interaction and I love it
Yup definitely gotta work on that
Nah I'm fine thanks
Nope it's my new goal!
What happened to stalker list? I can live with that
That's there too but this is much more important!
No I really don't think so
I do!
Leo brought soda and just now decided to share!
My roommate is the best! He just raided the kitchens and brought up a whole bunch of snacks, tonight is going to be the best!
Please tell me you took down the fort?
Nope! We are all piled underneath it trying to pick a game!
Really?
Yea we had to made some adjustments but we made it work
Ok I have seen one of your friends and he was huge, how did he fit under there?
That's Frank. He's a football player. That's why we had to make some adjustments. We had to stack two chairs up and they brought some blankets so it all worked out!
All of you are children lol
Maybe you just grew up too fast
*shrugs* That might be but I can live with that
I can't! I will drag you into my pit of childishness and you will like it!
Um I'll pass thanks
Nope not gonna let you. You will get on my level
I don't think I was ever or will ever be on your level
In time young grasshopper
Whatever you say…
I do say!
You seem to be more annoying than normal…
SUGAR RUSH!
That will do it
You have fun with your friends. I think I'm going to write
I won all the places!
I am the king of Monopoly!
And we didn't even set anything on fire!
Now onto Clue but I already know Nico did it in the Underworld with a uh… wrench!
Damn I tried that guess and I was way off. It was Scarlet in the garage with a candlestick
I'm on soda number uhh 4? I think and my roommate just busted out the Monster!
Ain't no rest for the wicked!
SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT
Blankets caught fire!
Roommate was prepared though, he had some water! Yay for roommates!
Ugh you are sooo lame! It's only like 3 in the morning
WAIT YOU'RE AWAKE? YOU JUST STARTED THE NEW STORY!
Now my friends are looking at me weird cuz I just freaked out over the update!
Dear gods has anyone told you that you are annoying?
A few times here and there *shrugs* I just ignore them lol
Maybe you should listen more lol. I could barely update with my phone going off every few seconds. I had to turn it on silent just so I could concentrate
Oops. I would say sorry buuuuuut I'm really not haha
You got the update done though! Even though that meant leaving me all alooonneee~
Did they spike those drinks?
No I've just had a lot of sugar and caffeine
I'm everywhere yet nowhere
I think you need to be in bed lol
NOOOOOO I don't wanna
It's time for Sorry
I always lose at this one. I feel so bad when I have to knock someone out. Everyone else uses that to their advantage :/
Well then be mean and knock them out and don't go easy on them
I just can't do that tho. They are my friends…
Yet you won Monopoly?
It was by sheer luck tbh
They all ganged up on each other and in the end I was the only neutral one
BUT I WON AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You're extra mean at night :(
No I'm just honest
No you're brutal
If that's what you call it
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
So how is that sugar high treating you?
-missed called-
Still not awake?
Well doesn't that just suck for you
Seems you missed yet another opportunity
Oo well
"What did I miss?"
"Oh now you wake up."
"I was up until like eight this morning."
"And whose fault is that?"
"I blame my so called friends. They did this too me."
"Don't blame them for your deeds."
"You're not answering my question. What did I miss?"
"Not much. I was just at the college to take a picture with the president and get a plaque for being so generous in my donation."
"You actually made an appearance?"
"Yeah but they aren't going to post it or anything. It's more like the president is a fan and wanted to meet me. I just got home a few hours ago."
"*Hey you have something.*"
"What is it?"
"*Package.*"
"Umf, you didn't have to throw it at me."
"Well are you going to open it?"
"You know what it is don't you?"
"Stop talking and start opening."
"Fine, fine. Uhh hand me.. Never mind I got it. NICO ARE THESE ALL OF YOUR BOOKS?!"
"Well I didn't know which one you wanted so I figured why not give you all of them."
"Hey why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
"*Nothing, sorry you just got excited over the books."
"Do you know what these are? They are signed by the author himself!"
"*Oh I'm sure I know a bit better than you think.*"
"What does that mean?"
"*Nothing, don't worry about it.*"
"Whatever. Thank you so much Nico! This is amazing!"
"It's no big deal. I have a room full of the books ha."
"That doesn't surprise me. I am totally okay with this though ha. It must be hard being such a famous writer."
"Totally. I have to make up all these stories and do all this research and then the typing, all the typing."
"You complain so much for someone who has a house and a huge fan base not only for your fics but for your real work too."
"Eh it's a struggle."
"You talk about me being annoying. Look at you complaining about your perfect life."
"Hey I could get a lot worse."
"I know you could Death and Darkness."
"Damn straight."
"*You need to take a shower! You smell bad and we have to go to lunch so we can go to the beach. They say the waves are going to be great today.*"
"Yes sir dad sir."
"*As long as you know.*"
"Looks like carefree life calls."
"Yeah, it's a struggle really. Day in and day out hanging out with friends and eating ramen. Hey you could meet us at the beach if you wanted."
"Thanks but no thanks. I don't do sun, beach, or people. Plus I have dinner plans with my sister."
"Technically you do people, boys to be more.. Ouch! Don't hit me! I'm going I promise!"
"Bye beach bum."
"Bye Sir Buzzkill."
I hope I didn't make you mad with that comment…
What comment?
The doing boys one..
No why would that offend me? I'm kind of gay and all
I just didn't want to push too far..
Well you're fine. Shouldn't you be in the shower anyway?
I am. Well I'm waiting on a stall to open up. The joys of a shared bathroom -_-
Ha sucks to be you. I could go shower in my master bathroom or the guest bathroom or even the one downstairs
Just rub it in why don't you?!
I could if you really want me to…
Not really. I'm already miserable as is
I know, I am growing stronger as we speak lol
Yea yea, just send that hitman at anytime now
Nope your misery is keeping me sustained
-_- Finally an open stall!
My roommate thought I was in there too long and he went and pulled me out and forced me to get ready!
So rude!
You were in there for like an hour o.O
More like 45 minutes. Let's not exurate here
Close enough. What were you doing? Trying to memorize Shakespeare or something?
No I caught him singing NSYNC!
Into the shampoo bottle
Now he's taking forever to try and pick out a pair of swim trunks
-Percy holding three swim trunks while his towel is wrapped around his waist-
He can't even get dressed without help!
Umm.. okay?...
OHMYGODSIHATEMYROOMMATE
Just last night he was the best tho?
Well now he's the worst. He just stole my phone and not only told on me but managed to embarrass me even worse by sending you that picture!
It wasn't even a good picture
Yea you had a towel on..
Perv
*shrugs* You let him send a half naked picture
You liked it :P
Your point?
Nothing, just feeding my ego
Shouldn't have to be too hard, you are a bit egotistical. I mean have you seen your Tumblr? Almost every other picture is one of you
I like to take pictures!
The correct term is 'selfie"
Whatever! You're just jelly
Of?
My awesome camera angles
Mhmm sure
:P
Looks like pizza for lunch
Nope we're having burgers!
I'll stick to cold pizza
Cold? Ew it has to be heated up
Nope that ruins it
That's just nasty
You are just saying that to be difficult
Nope I'm being honest. It's nasty. Even Leo agrees with me
Just Leo?
The other two don't matter
It's because I'm right
… No…
Lies
I told you what they say don't matter
Especially my roommate
He's on ban
Ban?
Yup I ban him from his opinion
That's a bit harsh
Nope it's only fair after what he did to me
I still think you're overdramatic
I am not
He was just trying to start shit
What do you mean?
Nothing, forget I said anything
No too late, tell me
He uh..
He's been trying to get me a date for the past few months…
I don't know what I should ask first. Let's go with why?
Because of my break up and me being too depressed for his liking…
Ok now next question, why me?
…
Do I have to answer?
Preferably yes
lasdkfjlasdflasn
I'll tell you why!
Because he hasn't stopped staring at his phone and smiling like a retard ever since he started talking to you
Uh thanks whoever that was
It was all of them!
Frank held me down while Leo told my roommate what to say -_-
They hate me
I'm just going to crawl in a hole and never come out now
kthnxbai
So it's true?
…. Maybe…
That's cute
x.x
This hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper
Are you embarrassed right now?
Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be?
I don't see why you would be
Because my friends just held me down and told you that I pretty much like you…
And you're embarrassed because?
Because I didn't want you to find out this way
How did you want me to find out?
I don't know. Maybe I made you breakfast one day and you wake up and I give you breakfast in bed and instead of asking 'How did you get in here?' you say 'You are now number one'
That's one way to go about it I suppose
Sorry I'm just kind of.. I don't know.. My friends are dicks
And now they are making fun of me because I'm so red
I'm going to find a shark and beg him to eat me
If you die then you don't get to make me breakfast
You just don't want to let me die because that means you don't get to feed off my misery. Of which there is plenty right now
I'm sure you will be fine. If you die then I might be a bit upset…
Just a bit?
Well then you wouldn't see the ending of your idea
I know the ending! You're going to make it beautifully tragic and leave me in tears, like all the rest of your stories
Well if you aren't alive you will never know
Not nice...
Never claimed to be tbh
-
Dinner date with my sister. She told me to dress fancy, hope this is good enough
-Nico is in a all black suit with a grey tie-
I hate these suits, they are so uncomfortable
Maybe I should have went to the beach
But then I remember, people
Here we go
Wait..
Was that really you?!
o.O
Yes it was. Something wrong?
No it's just
Damn you look good in a suit
But of course it was black
I bet that's your whole wardrobe lol
Thanks. Yea pretty much. Black is a soothing color
Black is the color of death -_-
Your point?
You're not dead!
Doesn't mean I can't like black
You need to switch it up some!
I had a grey tie…
Doesn't count
Whatever
How was the beach?
Great! The waves were amazing today and the water was just right. Ugh I wanted to stay out all night!
How was dinner?
Sounds nice. It was ok. My sister told me she got promoted so we were celebrating that. Felt good to get out of that suit tho
That's cool! What does she do?
But the suit looked so nice!
She's now the like some hotshot for Google or something like that
That suit was too tight and way too hot
...You looked hot in it...
I MEAN
That's cool! Your sister sounds like a badass
Did you just…
Uh depends on the just?
Don't play dumb
I'm not?
You told me I looked hot…
No I.. I'm going to kill him!
I'm very confused…
"It would seem my very oh so lovely roommate took it upon himself to hit on you for me. Whatever he sent he deleted right after."
"How kind of him."
"Yeah, you're telling me. Then he ran off and I have no idea where he went."
"He seems like a great person."
"Oh I'm sure you will never find out. He will be dead by then. I'm going to wring his neck."
"Well I can see a shark didn't get you so instead you're out for blood now?"
"Sadly all the sharks swam away as I pleaded. So yes, now I'm out to extract my revenge. If I could ever find the jerk."
"Did you check in the fort?"
"Yes! He's not there and he took one of the blankets with him."
"I can literally hear you pouting over the phone."
"He ruined the fort!"
"Poor you."
"I know! Now I have to take it down and cry on my bed instead of in the fort."
"The struggle of being an adult."
"I don't wanna! I will make blanket forts and hide from adulthood!"
"If only it worked like that."
"It does if I say it does. I might just major in blanket forts!"
"What are you even majoring in?"
"Uh if I said I didn't know would you make fun of me?"
"No. I was just curious you never really answered me last time."
"Well I don't really know. I had plans but they all went down the drain after uh Annabeth left. I was just going to kind of follow her. She had a plan but now she's gone and.. I'm sorry now I'm getting all depressed. Anyway, I have no idea what I'm going to do."
"I mean you have time to figure all that out anyway. Do you have an passions?"
"Never really thought of it. I like water and the beach. I've thought about joining the swim team but other than that I have no other plans right now. I'm just getting my basics."
"Well take your time and just let it come to you."
"Thanks. Can I ask you a question?"
"Well you did but I suppose you can ask another."
"Very funny. How did you know you wanted to be a writer?"
"Well I just always wrote as a kid and it just kind of progressed as I got older. After my mom died and my sister and were left alone I just wrote. Then when she started working I kind of just wrote non stop. Eventually I started researching things and before I knew it, I had a book. Bianca did everything she could to get it noticed. Finally a publishing company took me and it blew up from there. So I guess I just always knew. It just comes so natural to me."
"Ugh! I don't feel like that about anything really. It's so frustrating not knowing what I'm going to do."
"I'm sure it will come to you in time. Don't rush it."
"Thanks. So am I bothering you or anything?"
"No I'm not doing anything. I was on my couch trying to find something to watch but I think I'm going to migrate to my bed."
"Want to watch a movie?"
"Sure let me start up my laptop. Pick a movie."
"Netflix good?"
"Either that or Hulu."
"I don't have Hulu."
"I do. I'll text you my info and you can search for something on there."
"Okay cool. Got it. Let me search. How does uhh Ginger Snaps sound?"
"Never seen it. Sure why not?"
"Neither have I. This should be fun."
"Computers on. Finding it. Okay I'm up whenever you're ready."
"On three. One. Two. Three!"
"Got it."
The boys make it almost to the end of movie but once again they fell asleep with Percy snoring slightly and Nico silently sleeping. Percy's roommate snuck in sometime during the morning to find Percy drooling with his phone still connected to the call. He smiled down at the name and collapsed on his bed.
A/N- Awww look at roommate and Leo and Frank helping poor little Percy flirt. Haha look at that, they even talked on the phone quite a bit and Percy finally got to see Nico, in a suit nonetheless!
Let me know how you guys are liking it so far!
Lilireyna-Thank you ^^
marinaofthesea12- Haha I bet they have unlimited calling. Thank you!
