Nico's POV:
We stayed frozen as Annabeth's eyes scanned the room and finally settled where Percy had me comfortably pinned against the wall. Her eyes quickly noticed my shirtless body but then glared at Percy. "Perseus Jackson!" She growled, stalking over and pulling him off of me by the ear. When he uttered a couple "ows!" she just pulled harder. "I knew you would come here this morning, especially when neither of you showed up for breakfast!" Her tone and expression showed how angry she was, but her eyes flashed with triumph. I was still frozen against the wall, confused now more than scared. Annabeth seemed mad but not about the breakup, which is what I had originally assumed was her reason for storming in here. "He's only seventeen! How dare you seduce him like this?" Now she seemed less angry and more amused at the scene. I chuckled a bit, but then she turned to me, dragging Percy around with her. "Oh no, it's your fault too. You shouldn't have been shirtless." Now I gulped, because she was very correct. I knew exactly what it would do if what he had said the other night were true, and I had wanted to test him. Now she pulled Percy over, which was quite funny considering he was much taller and had to bend down slightly to relieve a bit of the pain on his ear. It wasn't funny for long, because soon I was in the same position. Our eyes both widened as she pulled us to the door. "Now you are both coming to breakfast and can have your little 'funny business' later!" Pulling us out the door and to the dining pavilion, I don't think she cared that I still didn't have a shirt on. Everyone stared and meals were forgotten as she threw us down at our respective tables. "Now eat!" She basically yelled at us as she went to sit with her siblings. Now that she was gone, I couldn't help but smirk and glance over at Percy. He was looking at me too, but he seemed much more uncomfortable. I had learned over the years to just say "fuck it" to what everyone thought of me, but Percy had always been the golden boy. He blushed and turned away when I licked my lips slowly at him, making me laugh and return to my empty plate. Campers were still staring at us, mostly me, but I didn't care. Silently asking for a pomegranate, I sacrificed a few seeds to my father and Aphrodite, then ate the rest quickly. Catching Percy's eye on my way out, I winked as I made my way back to my cabin. Oh yes, this was going to be a good day.
Pulling a black muscle shirt on, I tied my long hair back with some of the elastics Hazel had brought me back from the stores in New Rome. They rested on top of my dresser along with the black eyeliner and leather bracelets she had also gotten me. I smiled when I remembered she would be coming back next week; she never failed to bring me a little something every time she visited. Finally feeling ready to face whatever awaited me today, I was about to pull on a pair of black sneakers when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I yelled at whoever it was, forgetting my shoes and sitting up on the bed. The door creaked open and a very sheepish looking Percy walked in. He closed the door behind him and I raised my eyebrows in question, making him blush and start to frantically explain himself. "N-no! I'm not going to do that again, I promise!" He waved his hands in front of him, and then came to sit in a chair in the corner of my room. I cocked my head to the side out of curiosity which made me unknowingly look like a puppy. "Then why did you come?" I asked. "I came to tell you…well you told me to come back today." He smiled awkwardly but something about that sentence seemed to have made him shiver. I just shrugged it off and waved for him to continue. "I really like you Neeks." Now it was my turn to blush and smile nervously. "I really like you too Perce." His face brightened up at that, and he moved to sit on the bed beside me. "So…do you want to go out with me maybe?" He asked hopefully. I chuckled. "Do you mean on a date or in the generalized term of 'dating' as being boyfriend and girlfriend or in this case boyfriend and boyfriend?" I countered slyly. He just huffed and looked at me slightly annoyed with my snarky remarks, but smiling all the same. "Both." He said with confidence, now seeming to feel more comfortable with the situation. I took a moment to pretend to contemplate the offer, before turning back to face him and lean in a bit. "Yes. To both." My voice was quiet but the happiness was evident. Both of us now smiling as wide as physically possible, Percy brought his hands up to cup my cheeks and kissed me softly. I returned the slow, passionate kiss but soon I wanted more. You don't go seven years loving someone and not want everything they have. Pulling away, I heard him whimper as our lips disconnected. Chuckling quietly, I placed a light kiss on his nose. "Percy I don't know what you're ready for." Now my voice was completely serious. "I want you, Nico Di Angelo. I want all of you." He whispered sensually, making me shiver despite how much the temperature of the room had risen in the past few minutes. Or was that just me? "I…I want you too." My voice faltered, and my eyes showed how scared I really was. "I just don't know how much I'd be comfortable with yet." Turning my head away in embarrassment, it was only brought back to face Percy as his hands softly guided my face. My scared eyes locked on to his certain ones. "I understand. It's something very intimate and I get it if you're not ready. And I'm not going to lie and say it won't hurt." This made me blush, because fuck did I know it would hurt. "Perce…I'm not as innocent as you think. I haven't been with anyone before though!" I quickly reassured him as his eyes widened in shock and…jealousy? That was cute. "But…I'm not going to lie and say I don't have fun with myself sometimes." Okay now I was sure that whatever blood wasn't filling up somewhere else was rushed to my cheeks. Seriously though, I was a love-struck seventeen year old gay boy, what else was I supposed to do in my spare time? Percy just sat there, speechless. Finally I knew what to say and a sly grin made its way onto my face. "How about you come back tonight, and we can find out just what I'm comfortable with, yeah?" He just nodded with his mouth agape and let me lead him to the door. "Have fun today Perce." I teased before giving him a quick kiss and shutting the door on a very flustered looking Percy. Laughing to myself, I just shook my head at what that boy was doing to me.
