Hiatus
Nico feels his world collapse forever around him. He stares heart-brokenly at the boy who just broke him. Percy is still talking but Nico has already stopped listening. He knows Percy is trying to be nice by calling it a break, simply taking a hiatus from their relationship. Breaks lead to complete break ups. But if that's what Percy truly wants, what else can he really do or say? "If you want a break, then fine. Goodbye Percy..." He shadow travels to his father's domain. For days he simply stays curled up in his bed, glad for once that the sun doesn't reach the Underworld. He knew it was stupid to trust Percy with his heart and yet...he couldn't deny the love he felt for the other boy. He hated feeling so helpless so he threw himself into his duties around the Underworld, no longer caring that he hadn't been to the surface in over a month. It was easier down there without the memories of Percy.
