Percy
Nico
I woke up and my roommate was here
Took all I had not to strangle him
He woke up as I was standing over him thinking about it
Who hung up last night?
My phone died at some point this morning
It woke me up
OO makes sense
Yea now my roommate left without a single word to me
Oo well
Means I have the room to myself
I don't even want to know what you are going to do…
Uhh lets see
I have homework
or
Netflix
I think Netflix wins
So very adult like of you
Thank you. I thought so lol
I was being sarcastic -_-
I know :P
Whatever
Someone's here?
Don't look at me
I'm curled up in my dorm
-picture of Percy wrapped up in a blanket-
I guess I better go answer the door
Never mind
He walked right in
I hate my friend
You have friends?
Very funny
This one is against my will
I've known him since like grade school
But you have.. friends?
O.o
I'm baffled
Well close your mouth, you're gonna attract the flies
-_- Why is he there? I take it you weren't expecting him?
No and now he's jumping on my bed and telling me he wants to go out
I told him to take himself out
You make fun of me for being a child
Don't worry, I make fun of him too
However I don't talk to him much
He's busy most the time
So I don't have to worry about him popping up
So why is he there now?
Idk? I should ask
He says he missed me
That's a lie
He wants something
Like what?
I don't know.. You never know with him…
Money? Food? Maybe he just wants to see his friend
He wants to annoy me
That's not that hard really
Jerk…
I have to find a way out of this
He wants to go out somewhere
Where?
He won't tell me…
Just go with him
I don't want to
I wanted to stay at home and write
Just go have some fun with your friend for one day
He wants to go out to dinner
He told me I better be there
He literally only came over to annoy me and force me to go to dinner with him
Sounds like a hard life…
Thank the gods he's gone
Thought you two were going out?..
He said he had a few things to take care of but he would meet me there
How thoughtful of him
Welcome to my world
Ha well he seems like a good friend
If that's what you wanna call it…
You really need more friends
No cuz they make me go out when I want to stay home and not go out
Everyone needs to get out every once and awhile
I do. I go with my sister and go talk to my publishers
That's not enough
You need to go to the movies with your friends
Go to the beach
Go out and have fun
I have fun writing alone in my house
Ugh you are so difficult
Almost as difficult as my roommate who is dragging me out of bed now
I thought you were mad at him
I am
But he's so persistent
He even brought me coffee
Must be where he went off too
You are so weak
I am but it's Starbucks
It's my fav!
You sound like a girl
Are you sure you're not gay?
… Just cuz I like Starbucks..
And NYSYNC..
Doesn't make me gay!
And you think I'm hot
Well anyone with eyes could see that
Nope just you
That's a lie
I'm sure I could show anyone, boy or girl and they would agree
I'd rather you not…
Cuz you know it's tru!
No I say it is a lie
You don't need to be so negative. You really are downright gorgeous
I'm sorry
Did I offend you or something?
Nico?
Hello
-missed call-
Plz just tell me if I made you upset or something…
-
"Sorry I was on the phone with my sister."
"Oh now I feel stupid."
"I didn't mean to scare you or anything. You didn't make me upset though."
"Well that's good to know. Is everything alright with your sister?"
"Yeah she was just calling to tell me that she had to leave town for a few weeks."
"For work?"
"Yeah she has to go speak to some conventions or something."
"Sounds like fun."
"Yeah, no. I don't envy her at all."
"Of course you don't. You don't like people. It would seem your sister got all the people skills."
"She can keep them for all I care."
"Speaking of people skills, what about your dinner date?"
"Ugh don't remind me. I have to shower and get ready still."
"Don't you think you should do that then?"
"No. If I hide under my covers he can't make me do anything."
"Now who's the child?"
"Shut up."
"Nope now it's my turn to make fun of you."
"Just for that I'm going to hang up now."
"Haha bye Ghostie."
You aren't helping at all
I said you need more human interaction
I don't want it
You're whining
I don't care
-_- Whatever
Go shower already
And don't forget to send pictures! :P
Perv
I thought I was supposed to be the gay one
Can't help it…
I told you
You're hot
Whatever
:P
I'm back
No you're not
I didn't get any pictures
-_- I'm still getting ready
I don't care
I'm just kidding
No you're not
Ok maybe I'm not
You would be proud of me though!
Why?
I took a shower in the same amount of time that you did!
What? You didn't spend all night in there?
No my roommate pushed me into the shower still clothed
He's in a hurry for something
Said he had a surprise for me
-picture of Percy in a black and silver suit-
He even picked out my outfit
Where are you going all dressed like that o.O
I don't know
He won't tell me
Says it's important and I have to look good
Look good? I would say that you uh look great…
*blushes* Thanks
-picture of Nico in a black and light blue suit-
I hate suits
Why?
You look so damn good in them
Thanks but they are so uncomfortable
I understand that and it's so hot out tonight…
That's what a/c is for
We don't have a car
We have to take the train to whatever
I don't even know..
I enjoy my car
It gets me places and I have a/c and don't have to deal with public transportation
Must be nice..
This train is crowded
I'm getting in my car now
I'll talk to you in a little bit
Bye Ghostie
Nico makes his way to the restaurant his friend sent him the address too. He goes in after a phone call from his friend saying he was a bit behind schedule and just go in because he had reservations under his name already. Nico sighed. It was so like his friend to be late. He went inside and the hostess greeted him.
"How can I help you sir?"
"Reservation for Jason Grace," Nico told her.
She smiled pleasantly and took him to a table in the back. He sat down and took the menu she offered. He looked it over and ordered a coke when the waiter came over. He was so concentrated on the menu that he hadn't even noticed anyone approach until he heard a throat clear and he looked up. The sight he saw made his heart drop to his stomach. There stood his best friend Jason Grace along with a Percy Jackson. Jason was grinning from ear to ear while Percy was looking so confused.
That's when it all clicked for Nico. He wasn't sure why it took him so long to figure it out but he felt stupid. He glared at his blonde friend.
"Percy, meet Nico. Nico, meet Percy. Okay, I'm glad you two are already so well acquainted. I am sorry to say that I must be on my way now because this reservation was only for two and as you can see, three's a crowd. Enjoy!" before either of them could even so much a blink Jason backed away from the table and left.
Nico and Percy were left with a very awkward silence between them. Neither boy knew what to say and neither of them could believe that they were face to face for the first time. Nico looked back down at the closed menu in his hands and Percy finally sat down.
"Uh it's nice to finally meet you in person," Percy broke the silence, grabbing his menu to look over.
"Can't say I expected it to be anything like this," Nico told him with a nervous laugh.
"Me either. I told you my roommate was a dick."
"Now there is something I can agree with. I am so pissed that I didn't figure it out sooner. I can't believe you never told me his name," Nico said, finally looking up from his menu and looking at Percy.
"I normally just say my roommate. Everyone pretty much knows who I'm talking about," he shrugged, "It never even crossed my mind."
"He knew that too. He planned this so well. He even dressed us to complement the other. I'm going to kill him," Nico stated.
"Not if I get to him first," Percy smiled and Nico felt his heart melt.
"I'm sure I can come up with more creative ways," Nico told him.
"I live with him," Percy laughed.
"This isn't a competition you know because if it was, I would have won. I've known him longer," Nico boasted.
"I live with him," Percy repeated.
"You already said that."
"I know but that's the top most thing. I win," Percy stuck his tongue out and Nico couldn't help but laugh. He really was this childish in general.
"Whatever. I'm going to kill him before you."
"What if we compromise?" Percy suggested. "We lure him somewhere and we do it together?" Nico thought about it for a second before nodding.
"I guess I can live with that."
"Good," Percy beamed.
The waiter came by and took their orders. The entire dinner they joked and laughed like they had known eachother for years, not just a week. They ordered dessert and shared a slice of triple chocolate goodness. When Nico asked for the bill, he was informed that it had already been taken care of. He thanked the staff and walked out with Percy.
"If I would have known Jason was paying I would have ordered more of the more expensive things," Nico told Percy.
"Hell I would have ordered some to-go!" Percy joked.
They walked to Nico's car and Percy's eyes lit up.
"Is this yours?" Nico nodded. He pulled out his keys and hit unlock.
Percy was left to stare in wonder at Nico's black and white sports car. It was a Mclaren 650. It was one of the first major purchase Nico ever made. It was black with white accents. The interior was black and red leather. Nico opened the driver side door and slid into the driver seat. Percy was still in shock staring at the car. Nico rolled down the window and yelled at Percy.
"Well are you going to continue to just stare at my car or are you going to get in?" he asked.
"Uh, well, that's a good question," Percy stammered.
"Get in," Nico told him.
Percy nodded and carefully slid into the passenger seat. His jaw nearly as he inspected the interior. He ran his hands over the seats and the dash and tried to play with the touchscreen dash panel until Nico swatted his hand away. He put the car in reverse and left the restaurant parking lot. Percy stole glances at Nico and at one point he contemplated holding his hand but he was busy shifting gears. Before too long they were in a neighborhood that Percy didn't recognize. Nico seemed to know where he was going though so he just stayed quiet. They stopped in front of a giant two story house and Nico pulled into the garage. Nico turned off his car and got out, the lights in the garage came on and Percy could see on old muscle car in the second parking spot.
"Is this yours too?" Nico nodded.
"It was a gift from my father. A '69 Ford Mustang," he told Percy, walking to the blood red car.
He opened the door and started up the car. It roared to life and Percy shivered. Nico smiled at him and slid across the bench seat and motioned for Percy to join him. He jumped in behind the wheel and inspected the car. The interior was black leather with red highlights.
"Want to take it for a spin?" Nico asked Percy. Percy looked at him like he had lost his mind.
"Uh what?"
"Well if you can drive a standard that is," Nico said, motioning to the gearshift.
"I can it's just.. You would let me drive your car? This car?" Percy was in shock. Nico shrugged.
"Why not? I don't think you would wreck it," he hit a button on his keyring and the second garage door opened.
"If you insist," Percy said, putting his seatbelt on and shifting the car into reverse.
He pulled out into the street and Nico turned on the radio and rolled down his window, letting in the cool ocean air. Percy drove to the highway and with Nico's permission he floored it. Percy let out an excited yell and Nico couldn't help but laugh. Percy was having a good time and Nico couldn't help but feel some of that excitement. Finally Percy slowed down and turned off the highway. He made his way back to Nico's house. He parked the car and he followed Nico inside.
His eyes went wide as he took in the sight of the house. Nico kicked off his shoes and started loosening his tie. Percy followed his lead and took off his shoes by the door and threw his coat over the back of the leather couch. Nico disappeared upstairs and came back in a pair of sweats and a tee shirt. He threw a pair of shorts and a shirt at Percy.
"Guest bathroom is under the stairs," he told Percy. Percy nodded and took off.
Both boys felt better after getting out of their suits. They both sat on the couch and shared a blanket while scrolling through Netflix.
A/N: And they met. Look at that, Jason is a clever little shit I would say. Coming up with this whole plan and dressing them to match, too cute!
Now I had to get a little crazy with the cars because I'm in love with nice cars and since I can't have them, I have to live through the characters. If you don't know either, google them.
ForlornSpirit- Thank you. And no, it's Jason. Grover wasn't really in the second series so I didn't include him in this.
