Annabeth
It's been 3 days since he last talked to me…
Give him time
I've tried!
Well he's upset
Can you blame him?
He had just told me that he liked me..
Thats kind of a big deal to him
Then your ex shows up
Kinda sends mixed signals
I didnt know she was coming!
Give him time Perc
I dont have time
I miss him…
Please at least let me explain
No
You left
I fell apart
I was finally getting my life back on track
I'm not going to let you come in and break it all again
Just please. Can we meet up and talk about this
No
Percy you are acting childish. We are both adults, act like it
Oo I'm sorry. I didnt know I was supposed to be civil with the person who tore my heart out of my chest and LEFT!
You knew I had to do it
Yea without any regard as to how I was feeling
Now that I'm moving on you want to waltz back in and act like nothing happened
I loved you
I wanted to die. I tried to die. I didn't want to even go to school but my friends forced me to
Now I'm finally happy and you come in and RUIN IT!
I didn't ruin anything. I just wanted to talk.
Right after I was making some progress with Nico
You're not even gay Percy
You don't know anything about me. I really like Nico and you've gone and screwed up my chances with him!
Is it really my fault? I just wanted to talk. It's not my fault he can't act like an adult and not throw a temper tantrum
Fuck you Annabeth. Lose my number
Nico
Plz
You can't stay mad at me forever
These last three days have felt like forever
Plz just let me explain
I really like you too
I had no idea she would be back
I don't feel anything for her
Bee, he keeps blowing up my phone
I have like 30 missed calls
Well answer him
No!
Pray do tell why?
Cuz…
He still loves her
I'm not going to be stuck in his love triangle
I finally opened up and this happens
Hes going to go right back to her
How do you know that?
Has he told you?
No but I know..
No you dont
Dammit Nico just talk to the kid
I cant
I cant get hurt
We all saw how you two looked at each other during Vegas
Hes just as crazy for you as you are for him
I cant get hurt Bee
I cant…
You didnt give him a chance
If I do then I will get hurt
Its better to shut him out now..Before that happens
You cant live your life shutting people out
You have to let someone in someday
Not today…
Hopefully soon
I love you little brother but I have to go
...love you too…
You cant run from him forever
Watch me
What do you care anyway?
Because I'm tired of seeing him miserable and knowing that you are too
He has Wonder Woman back
He doesnt need me
He doesnt want her
He wants you
I had to take his phone away so he would stop trying to call you
He doesnt care
You dont know that
I do!
He has someone else
...I dont matter
NICO LISTEN TO YOURSELF! GET A GRIP
He wont even talk to her
All he talks about is you
He wants you
No he doesnt
I dont want to talk about this
Bye Jason
We have to do something
I know. Nico is sulking and his manager called to tell me he won't return emails or answer calls…
I want to be there but my job won't let me take any time off right now
Percy won't eat, refuses to go to class. We had to take his phone at one point cuz he wouldn't stop looking at picture of Nico
There has to be something we can do
Neither will listen. Nico refuses to listen to me when I tell him that Percy wants nothing to do with Annabeth and Percy won't stop moping
You know him best. How do we get Nico to listen
I'm not sure. He's never faced a problem like this
The only solution I can come up with is make him face it head on
Get them together?
Yea and don't give either of them an out. Force them together
How? That's the question
You know where he keeps his spare key. Sneak Percy in and force them to talk
You know Nico won't fight
I'm not sure about Percy…
Percy won't resist. He wants to talk to Nico
Let me know when
Thanks B
I talked to Nico's sister. We came up with a plan
What is it?
We have to sneak into Nico's house and force him and Percy to talk
She said it's the only way to make him face his problems
How are we going to get in?
I know where the key is
When?
Now. I'm making Percy get dressed
Well more like I'm dressing him since he's acting like he's 2
How do you think Nico will react?
He's not physical so he will probably try and just hide in his room
So long as we don't let him out of the house we should be ok
I'll be there in 5
Percy stop acting like a child. Piper told me what's been going on. You can't run and hide from all your problems. I just want to talk to you. I know leaving was wrong but it was what was best for me. I do think it was wrong how I went about it but I do not regret it. Please just talk to me.
Annabeth, this is Jason. Percy is in the same state that he was when you left. It would be best if you just left him alone. It took all of us months to get him back to his old self. Even then he was broken until Nico came along. I think it's best if you just leave him alone at this point in time. You weren't here thru the worst of it and left us to pick up the pieces.
Nico I'm coming in
I know where your spare is
No one is breaking in
Not that you would care
I'm going to drag you out of bed.
Jason threw open Nico's door to reveal the boy curled up amongst all his pillows and blankets. His eyes were red and puffy and his cheeks tear stained. Jason sighed and walked over to his friend.
"Nico it's time to face your problem," Jason said softly. Nico shook his head and pulled the blanket closer around him. "You are going to be mad at me but Bianca and I thought it in your best interest," Jason told him. Before Nico could question, Percy stepped into the room. Nico's eyes went wide in shock. "I'm just going to leave you two to it," Jason said, stepping out of the room and closing the door behind him.
It was quiet for a moment, neither boy daring to so much as breath. Finally Percy took a step forward, and another, and another until he took a seat on the bed. Nico scurried further back into his headboard, curling up into a ball.
"Nico," Percy said softly, reaching out to try and touch him but thought better of it. "Please just listen to me," he looked to Nico who just stayed deathly quiet. "I don't have anything to do with Annabeth. She fucked me over in more than one way and I had no idea she was coming back. I have told her to leave me alone and I've avoided her since that night. Nico it's been almost a month and I'm miserable. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I never meant to hurt you," tears started to stream down his face. "Nico I like you too. Please, say something!" Percy pleaded with the boy.
Nico gripped the pillow tighter and held it to his face. He didn't want Percy to see him crying. He didn't want Percy to be there at all. Being near him made Nico's heart hurt. He wanted nothing more than to crawl into the boy's embrace and just make the pain go away but he couldn't do that. Instead he just silently sobbed into his pillow and wished Percy away.
"Nico," Percy whispered. When he got no reply, the boy stood up and left the room. "He wants nothing to do with me," Percy mumbled as he walked downstairs to his friends.
"We aren't leaving until you two make up," Jason shrugged and turned back to the TV.
"I want to go back," Percy demanded.
"Too bad. He has an awesome set up!" Leo said happily as he flipped through all the channels Nico had.
"Guys," Percy whined but was ultimately ignored. He sat down on the floor in front of the couch and rested his head on the sofa.
Upstairs Nico was all cried out and exhausted. He needed food and he needed water. He hoped that Jason and Percy were gone. He decided to risk the trip downstairs and as a precaution, he tiptoed down the stairs and to the kitchen. He made me a quick snack and grabbed a bottle of water before checking to see if he was alone. He peeked into the livingroom and saw the TV on. There were two people on the couch. Neither of them moved and Nico figured they were asleep. He sighed and put his food on the counter and went to grab some blankets. He tip toed back to the living room and draped the blankets over Jason and Leo. Then as he went to drape one over Percy, he ignored his brain and gently placed a kiss on the top of Percy's head.
He sighed and grabbed his food before going back to his room. He ate quickly and curled up on his bed again. He was so exhausted he didn't even dream before falling into the darkness. For the first time in weeks, Nico had no nightmares and his sleep was uninterrupted.
When he woke up he felt refreshed and warm. He stretched and realized he wasn't alone in the bed. He was abnormally warm and he could feel pressure on his chest. He dreaded looking down because he knew who would be there. Nico could smell the ocean, which seemed to follow Percy. Nico laid there and just relished the moment before he pulled out from under Percy and shook him awake.
"Percy, what the hell are you doing in my bed?" Nico asked, glaring down at the dark haired boy. Percy yawned and rubbed his eyes before replying.
"I had a nightmare," he mumbled. "I.. I didn't want to be alone."
"Jason and Leo were in there with you," Nico pointed out. Percy shook his head.
"They took the spare rooms. I woke up alone and panicked," Percy said, looking everywhere but Nico.
Nico sighed and ran his hands through his tangled hair. He looked at Percy. He had missed him so much but he was afraid of getting attached. He worried that Percy would leave him for someone better. Yet looking at him, he looked so defeated and heartbroken.
"Percy," Nico breathed out. Percy looked up at him.
"I noticed that you haven't updated any of your stories," Percy said, trying to make some form of conversation.
"Nothing I wrote felt right. I was missing my motivation, my muse," Nico looked away as he said the last part.
He didn't want to admit it but Percy was his muse and without him, no words were flowing. The room went silent and Nico thought he had scared off Percy. Then he felt the bed dip and he was being pulled into Percy's chest. He didn't even bother to hold back the tears. Both of them started crying while they held each other.
"Nico, I really like you," Percy mumbled. "I've been so lost without you and your stories. I kept re reading them over and over and I couldn't stop thinking about you," Percy confessed, kissing the top of Nico's head.
"I don't want to get hurt. I've never liked anyone like I like you. I was worried you would go back to her," Nico said into Percy's chest.
The arms around him tightened and they stayed like that for quite a while. Neither boy realized the door to the room opening or the front door opening and closing as Leo and Jason left. The two were in their own world and no one bother to disturb them.
It worked
They have made up
Thank the gods
I was so worried about Nico
They both gave us quite a scare
You think it will last?
I think they are going to be all right
