My mate chapter 3

don't own Percy Jackson; ooc; slash; au; no beta any takers?

Nico appeared outside of the apartment, looked into a window to see he reflection. A sixteen year old boy with shoulder length black hair, cat ears and black angel wings stared back at him.

'I need a way to blend in so my mate won't get in trouble.' Thought Nico as he frowned at the window.

Suddenly the shadows that always seemed to grow darker when he was around and seemed to fallow him were ever he goes. Began to fold upon his wings and cat ears making him look like a regular teen age guy. Nico snorted at the thought him a regular guy ha! Shaking his head he walked into the main door way and decided against taking the stairs he shadow travailed. As he moved through the inky black darkness, a chill that he had grown use to settled upon him and as he heard the whispering voices of the dead and the chilling unknown noises that where from unknown sources, he thought:

Percy is my mate. I need to be more careful and try to act right. I must have freaked him out by acting like that. But when I see him its like a different person takes over.

Nico blinked as light from the hallway invaded his eyes, as he stood in font of the Jackson home. Nico raised his hand and knocked on the door hoping to get somebody to open the door. Nico waited a couple of seconds before Sally opened the door for him.

"Hello. Um not to be rude but…Who are you?" asked Sally as she looked on Nico with confusion.

Your future son in law. Thought Nico but he said something different.

"Hello I'm a friend of Percy's from camp. My name is Nico."

Nico held out his hand for Percy's mom to shake. Sally shook his hand, smiled and ushered him inside.

"Percy is in the shower and I'm afraid he never mentioned you."

Nico felt a pain in his chest afraid his mate found him to be unworthy. For his mother figure didn't know that Nico was going to court Percy. She didn't even know about him.

But then again Percy doesn't even know. reasoned Nico.

They walked into the kitchen and Nico felt a stirring inside of him to find his mate. Which he squashed down.

"Please take a seat would you like something to eat?" asked Sally as she walked to the stove.

"Yes please." said Nico as he sat in a blue chair.

Looking around Nico saw the other chairs were blue, the table wooden, and the walls white, just your average every day kitchen. With two unordinary demigods living in it.

Nico smelled the eggs being cooked and decided to relax.

I wonder how Percy will react that I'm here. thought Nico as he slumped in the chair and rested his head on his arms.

-----------------------With Percy------------------------------------------------------------------------

Percy walked into the bathroom determined to ignore the memory of Nico.

It was probable just a prank Thought Percy as he undressed.

Turning on the water, he waited until it was the right temperature for him. Taking his shower Percy completely convinced himself that it was all a dream or a prank. Though he liked the prank idea better, him dreaming of Nico was just creepy.

Shaking his head Percy finished his shower and got ready for school, he was going to Goode and to tell the truth. He didn't really like it but put up with it for Paul. Percy walked down the hall to the kitchen, ready for some breakfast.

"Hey mom what's for breakfast?" asked Percy as he walked throw the door only to freeze as his mom answered him.

"Scrambled eggs and good morning honey. As you can see your friend Nico came by." said Sally as she smiled serving Nico some eggs.

"Good morning Percy." purred Nico as he looked at Percy throw lidded eyes.

Percy gulped and too the seat across from Nico as he didn't want to seat next to him. Smiling at his mom not only to reassure her that everything was okay but also in thanks for the eggs. Picking up his fork and picking up a blue died egg he got ready to take a bite when he felt something rub against his leg. Percy looked down with mouth open and fork half way up to his mouth to see Nico's foot rubbing against his leg. Percy frowned and kicked at Nico's leg, missed and instead he hit his leg on the table with a thump.

"Percy are you okay?" asked Nico in concern but with a little amusement behind it.

Percy gritted his teeth and hiss out:

"I'm fine."

Sally turned to Percy as she sat down next to Nico and asked:

"Are you sure your okay Percy?

Percy nodded trying to ignore that Nico's hand was now on his knee rubbing it, trying to take the pain away. Percy moved his knee out from under Nico's hand which caused Nico to frown as he took a bite of eggs. Percy ate his eggs in silent's avoiding Nico's feet that were apparently trying to play footsy without his mom even noticing. Percy scooted his chair a little back to avoid the feet of doom, much to Nico's displeasure. Nico frowned again he seemed to doing that a lot.

Nico hooked his feet around Percy's chair's legs and pulled him forward. Percy glared at Nico but that look vanished as he felt something furry wrapped around his ankle. Looking down Percy saw a cat's tail wondering were it came from, Percy was about to touch it, when his mom stood.

"I have to get to work. Be good and remember go to school, bye kids." said Sally as she raced out the door.

Percy looked after his mom shouting a bye, before turning back to his breakfast. Percy remembered the tail wrapped around his leg, reaching a hand down he began to pet the tail. Forgetting that it was probably Nico's, until he heard a deep purring coming from Nico. Nico closed his eyes as he felt his mate's hand contact with his tail, but he opened them when the warm hand stopped petting his tail. Percy was staring at him, Nico by instinctively wrapped his tail around Percy wrist to keep him there.

Percy worked his hand out of the tail's grasp and continued eating, thinking about how Nico was a cat-angel thing. Nico's eyes fell to his plate he really needed to get a hold of himself but he couldn't help it. Something inside him told him to show Percy affection and protect him. Nico sighed and looked up only to see a piece of egg on the corner on Percy's mouth. Nico stared at it and like a dream he couldn't control himself as he stood up and leaned over the table.

Sea green eyes clashed with his black, Green fill with confusion and black filled with love. Percy moved to scoot back and probably run, but Nico's tail wrapped around his wrist and Nico grabbed his face. Looking into Percy's eyes, Nico whispered:

"You have some egg on the corner of your mouth."

Percy reached for a napkin but his hand froze as he felt a wet tongue lick the food off of his face. Eyes wide Percy watched as Nico sat back down and covered his face with his hands muttering a sorry. Percy got up with caution and slowly made his way to the door and to his sneakers. Putting on his shoes and grapping his bag he raced out the door and toward his school.

Nico sat in the kitchen and sighed, closing his eyes.

He just couldn't control himself around Percy, and even though he knew he probably scared his mate. He couldn't help but saver the taste of Percy's skin on his tongue. Opening his eyes Nico realized that Percy was gone. His instinct going into over dive, senses screaming at to find his mate before he got hurt. Nico shot up from his seat, knocking his chair over he raced to the window.

Opening it Nico did a stupid thing if he was normal he would have died, he jumped out of the window and that wouldn't be a big deal if he was not five floors from the ground! Opening his wings to soften his fall Nico glided to the ground of the alleyway. Walking throw the trash and the smells of urine in the ally. He reached the end of it and stopped at the side walk. Sticking his nose in the air, he began to sniff for the sent of his mate.

Part of his brain thought he probably looked like a dog impersonator doing that, but that part of his brain was ignored as he caught Percy's sent. Nico's head snapped west and he march fallowing the sent all the way to Goode.
