Percy's POV:

After walking back into camp, I realized that it had gotten quite late. Dinner was over and the campers were already huddled by the bonfire. Shoving my hands roughly into my pockets I set off to find Annabeth. She was probably looking for me since I had skipped dinner. Seeing her sitting with her siblings around the fire, I noticed she actually looked pretty happy. I smiled at the thought that she would be okay. Walking up to her, I smiled sadly at her and she returned it. Both of us knew what was coming. Taking her hand, we walked away leaving behind a couple "ooooohs" from the people who probably thought we were going to fool around. We went to my cabin so we wouldn't have to worry about anyone walking in. Sitting on the bed, I turned to face her. "Annabeth…you're my best friend and at one point I loved you as more, but I think we both know that wasn't real." She smiled at me and rubbed the back of my hand. "I understand Percy. It was all a game to the gods. But just tell me…Jason?" Annabeth flashed me a smirk and I just groaned. "Why does everyone think that?" Throwing my hands in the air, I fell dramatically against my bed. "No, not Jason. Nico…" I whispered his name like a prayer, letting it linger on my lips to savor the taste. Suddenly I was pulled into a warm hug. "That's great Percy! He's liked you for seven years, you know." No, I hadn't known that. She pulled away and gave me a stern look. "Just be careful, okay? He's broken, and I don't think he can take anymore. I'm afraid one day he'll just snap." Nodding my head, I reassured her. "It's okay, I know. I want to fix him, and I hope he lets me. I think…I think I love him." Now I was blushing. She just laughed and kissed my forehead. "Well I may have lost a boyfriend, but I gained a gay best friend." She stood up and walked to the door. "Just promise me we'll go shopping sometime, alright?" Winking at me as she left, I just laughed. Collapsing onto my bed, I fell asleep almost instantly with a smile on my face. That night I dreamt, but for once these weren't demigod dreams but normal, hormonal teenage boy dreams. I didn't know which was worse actually.

I walked up to the door of the Hades cabin, and entered when I saw the door slightly ajar. "Nico?" I called out, but the door shut behind me. Whirling around I saw him leaning against the door, grinning slyly. "Uh…Nico. I came to tell you…well you told me to come back today." My face was heating up so quickly I was sure that the room had suddenly risen in temperature. He beckoned me towards him with one finger, and he looked so sexy in the darkness that I could only comply to his wishes. Stumbling forward, his hand shot out to grab my shirt and push me against the wall, trapping me there with his body pressed tight against mine. "I've wanted you for so long Percy." He growled, and his face was so close to mine that I could feel his hot breath on my lips. Before I knew what was happening, those soft lips were attacking my own fiercely with a lusty kiss, nipping and biting as he went. He pulled away when I moaned his name, chuckling darkly. "Oh Percy, I'm going to show you just how much I love you." My eyes stayed closed but I felt his hands trail down my chest and swiftly undo my belt and jeans. They fell to floor and I was left standing against the wall in my boxers and shirt. Upon opening my eyes I noticed he was kneeling on the ground and staring at me with his wide brown eyes that were dark with lust. He kept my gaze as he removed the final piece of clothing that covered my erection. Stroking it lazily and earning quite a few needy moans from me, my hands wound their way into his hair. "Nico…" I moaned breathlessly, my heart racing. Chuckling once more, his tongue darted out to lap up the drop of precum that dripped out of my slit. "Nico!" I moaned more loudly, tightening my grip in his hair. His lips wrapped around my head and he began to bob back and forth expertly. In no time he was deep throating me and I knew I was close. "Oh fuck….Nico!" I yelled his name as I came quickly in his mouth.

"Nico!" I woke up yelling his name like in the dream, and groaned as I realized my hand, boxers, and chest were covered in a white sticky mess. "Ugh." I groaned again, and got up to take a shower. Stripping out of my soiled clothes, I stepped under the hot water. Thankfully after the war Leo had persuaded Chiron to allow cabins that were more like houses. That included separate rooms that magically appeared when another camper joined a cabin, bathrooms, closets, and specialty rooms in each cabins basement. Mine was a pool, obviously. It would have been super awkward having to explain why I was covered in semen to everyone in the communal bathrooms we used to have. Finally feeling clean, I stepped out, dried off, and slipped on my favorite clothes. This was my Camp half-blood shirt, a pair of faded blue jeans, and my red converse. Nerves now fully jumping around in my stomach, I made my way to the Hades cabin. It didn't help that I couldn't stop thinking this was how my dream started. Stop it Percy, you can't be hard when you go see him, I scolded myself mentally. Walking up the steps, a few of the campers straggling to breakfast looked at me weird. I still didn't understand what everyone had against the hot son of Hades. Knocking on the door, my face flushed, I stepped in when it creaked open slightly. Okay, this was too much like my dream. Breaths picking up pace and heart racing to match, I closed the door behind me. "Nico?" I called out hesitantly. There were some noises and cursing from down the hall, but in a few seconds Nico was walking out of what I assumed was the bathroom and into what I now saw was his bedroom. My heart basically stopped when I saw him. His lower half was wrapped in a towel, and that fact combined with his soaked black hair sticking to his face and neck, I assumed he just got out of the shower. In seconds the redness of my face rivaled his. "I didn't expect you to show up this early." He mumbled as he grabbed clothes from the closet. I was too busy drooling over him to say anything. He was skinny, that's for sure, but he also had some muscle definition from battle. And oh my gods he had the V. Still staring as he pulled a pair of boxers on underneath his towel, it got even worse as he dropped the towel. Turning around to see me staring at him, he laughed nervously. "What? You've never been in a guy's locker room before?" He sounded confident enough but his red face showed how awkward and embarrassed he felt. "I…I didn't mean to…wow you're hot." Stupid mouth was always getting me in trouble. Nico blushed an even darker red at my words, and mumbled something he probably thought I couldn't hear. "I look like an emo anorexic skeleton." Shocked at what he couldn't see, I strode over to put my hand on his bare shoulder right as he slipped on some black sweats. It was too much; I couldn't hold back what I was feeling. Leaning in to whisper in his ear, my breath was hot on his skin. "I think you look hot." He stiffened, and I pulled away awkwardly. "I…I'm sorry…" I stuttered out an apology. He just turned around and smirked at me. Oh gods, I know exactly where I'd seen that smirk before. Before I could know what I was doing again, I kissed him. This was so much better in real life than it had been in my dream, and I noted that he tasted like vanilla. Pulling away after just a couple seconds I was already panting. "Annabeth and I broke up." I told him quickly when he looked like he was about to get angry. The anger in his eyes faded to a mischievous glint, and he smirked again. "Well in that case…" He whispered before gripping my shirt and pulling me towards him again, our lips moving in perfect sync. If I had known he would be this eager to reciprocate I would've told him a long time ago. When he felt that I wasn't moving away he let go of my shirt and instead wrapped his hands around my neck, fingers tangling themselves in my hair. I let my own hands move from his waist up his bare back and finally to the nape of his neck, where I let my own fingers work their way into his long, raven hair frantically. Our kisses became needier, and it wasn't long before I had him pinned against the wall. I pulled away for a second to let both of us catch our breath. "You're feisty." I growled, and was about to dive back in for another kiss when I was interrupted by the door flying open beside us. Shocked, neither of us could move as Annabeth stormed in.
