I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. It had been six months since I found out Percy was missing. I admit that I did cry when Aero told me, I was distraught at the news. It devastated me to know that, he was out there somewhere alone, probably miserable. He'd miss Annabeth though, he wouldn't think of me. He doesn't have the same feelings for me that I have for him. I hated him because I loved him. Tragic isn't it that he will never love me, and I've been in love with him since I first saw him fight. For four years I've watched him fall in love with Annabeth. I hate her. She has what I want.
I sat up when I heard the alarm sound. A monster was attacking Camp Jupiter. I grabbed my sword and ran out the door. My sister, Hazel, was guarding the entrance to camp today. Arriving at the scene, I saw two gorgons chasing my sister and the other guard, in front of them, standing in the middle of the Tiber, was Percy Jackson, soaking wet and as handsome as ever, a strange looking hippie woman was cradled in his arms. A giant wave erupted from the Tiber, around Percy. It slammed into the gorgons and they disintegrated. He stepped from the Tiber, and sat the old woman down. Then she turned into Hera and all Hades broke loose.
Hazel was in charge of showing Percy around camp. Apparently he had amnesia and only remembered waking up at the Wolf House. I love Hazel as much as I loved Bianca, but sometimes she did things that weren't very good, especially for me. She walked up to me followed by Percy Jackson. My heart fluttered when I saw him and I momentarily had to look away from him to regain my composure. When I looked back at him I forced a friendly smile.
"Hi I'm Nico di Angelo. Nice to meet you Percy." I couldn't really read his expression, but I could have sworn I saw a hint of remembrance in his eyes. So much for amnesia.
"Have we met before? You seem familiar, even if I have amnesia." he tilted his head in confusion. My heart was pounding as he looked at me with those green eyes of his. My eyes looked him over. His ripped shirt loosely hung on his body. His sculpted abs showed through the rips. His hair was still wet and dripping. He was beautiful, even covered in cuts, bruises, dirt, and other assorted things from months of battle. Hazel's voice pulled me back to reality.
"Nico will you please show Percy to the bath house? I should go make sure Frank is okay." she smiled when I nodded. "Good. Take care of him Nico." she waved as she ran to the stables. I led Percy to the bath house. It was an interesting experience. Percy started stripping as soon as we got. Pretty soon he was naked; I couldn't stand to look at him.
"Nico dude don't be embarrassed, we're both guys, we have all the same stuff." he got in the water. "Get in with me."
At this point I was blushing furiously, so I was glad for all the steam. I took my clothes off and slid into the water next to him. This was the scariest thing ever; I was taking a bath with Percy Jackson, the guy I was in love with. I noticed him watching me. "Can I help you?" I blushed, still grateful for the steam filling the room. We were alone in this steaming hot room, and I was scared to death.
Percy laughed "I was still thinking about how familiar you are. You're also kind of cute." Now my entire face was bright red. Percy thought I was cute? I must be losing my mind. Then I did the stupidest thing ever. I kissed him.
At first Percy seemed confused. He almost pulled away, but he didn't. He kissed me back, and pulled me into his lap taking the lead. I always knew I was going to bottom this relationship but I never expected there to be a relationship in the first place. I felt his warm lips against mine, he tasted like salt water. I was the one that pulled away. I didn't want to but at that point I was out of breath. The moment our lips separated, I looked at him and he smiled.
"You taste good Nico." I immediately felt my cheeks get warm. "You're blushing Nico." He got out of the steaming hot water and even though he wasn't really wet he dried off. "Do you know anywhere I can get new clothes?" He wrapped a towel firmly around his lower regions. Climbing out of the tub, I grinned.
"Of course I do Percy. What kind of guide do you think I am. Just put those ripped one back on for a bit. We can't have you walking around naked." I watched him put his clothes back on.
"OKay now where do we go." I got dressed and took him to get more clothes. He looked pretty good in purple, although I prefer orange.
Later that night, I Iris messaged Aero and told her about Percy. She wasn't too surprised with it either. Juno, or Hera, had switched Jason and Percy both camp's leading campers/ heroes.
"Whatever that goddess has planned it can't be good Nico." she frowned, I heard laughter in the background, and Lukas appeared in image. He blocked my view of his mother and waved "Hi!" Two hands wrapped around his waist and pulled him out of the image and I heard a voice, a vaguely familiar voice. "Lukas let mommy talk to her friend." the little boy was pulled away and I laughed. "Sorry about that Nico. Lukas had a candy bar at dinner and won't go to bed. Speaking of which I should go too. It's late here in New York." The Iris message disconnected. I got ready for bed and heard someone walk into my room.
I looked up to find Percy staring at me. He wasn't wearing a shirt. "Hi." he smiled. He sat down on my bed next to me, I felt him push a loose strand of my hair out of my face. "I just wanted to say thank you for showing me around today." And then he kissed me again. "P….Percy! W….what are you d…doing?" I could feel my cheeks heating up quickly. Percy pulled away and laughed when he saw my face. "Sorry Nico." Then I did something even stupider than what happened at the bathhouse I kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around me, twisting his fingers in my hair. It felt amazing to kiss him like this. Suddenly I was laying flat on my back and he had rolled on top of me. He deepened the kiss, and couldn't help but twist my own fingers up in his silky black hair. That's when the clothes started coming off.
I woke up the next morning able to remember every detail of losing my virginity to Percy Jackson the previous night. Percy was still sleeping peacefully next to me. I glanced at the floor, our clothes were scattered across it. Percy started waking up; he rubbed his eyes and looked at me. "Morning." I stared at him and waved slightly smiling. He sat up and pressed his lips to mine. "I'm sorry about this but I have to go talk to Reyna. She wanted to question me. Not sure how much information I can give her though, being amnesiac and all. No information in my head about anything she would find useful. I've really only fought a lot of monsters, so I know a thing or two about those but other than that I don't know what she could find useful in my head." He got up and picked up his clothes and got dressed.
"You need a shirt. I don't think mine will fit you. I'm so much smaller." I looked through my drawers until I found a shirt that was actually Percy's, he had let me borrow it back at Camp Half Blood. I tossed it to him "Here this actually isn't mine I borrowed it from a friend who is the same size as you." He slipped on the ocean blue t shirt. It was tight and fitted to him. The blue went perfect with his green eyes. Two shades that perfectly complimented the ocean.
"Thanks Nico, it fits great." He leaned over and kissed my cheek, leaving me red in the face as he went to meet Reyna. When he was gone I called Aero through an Iris message.
"Hi Aero." I waved. "So umm, are you alone right now? I kind of need to talk to you about something." I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt. She nodded. "Yeah. Luke took Lukas swimming. What's up?" I told her what happened the previous night.
"Nico! You slept with him?" Her reaction was exactly what I thought it would be utter shock with a hint of amusement. She knew I had a crush on him, and she knew that I knew that he was in a relationship with Annabeth. "Umm yes. I slept with Percy Jackson."
She sighed. "Well I guess for right now, we can let it go. It's not like I'm going to go out you to Wise Girl. I hate her, she hates me. And since Percy doesn't remember anything, he doesn't feel guilty for somewhat cheating on Annabeth." I watched her run her fingers through her hair. The silky brown curls fell back against her shoulders. "Look I'm not saying you did anything bad. I'm just saying be careful. I don't want you to get hurt if he remembers Annabeth and goes back to her."
"I know that. I feel like I screwed up everything! He doesn't love me! He loves Annabeth and as soon as he remembers that he's going to go back to her! It's not fair! I'm in love with him!" I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks as I started crying.
"Nico just calm down for two seconds. It's gonna be okay." She sighed. "To be honest I would rather you be with Percy than Annabeth. She doesn't deserve someone like Percy." She paled "Nico I've been having nightmares…..about Luke and about…Him." I stared at her; I didn't quite understand who she meant at first, but then I realized she meant Kronos, the Titan King. He was the one who corrupted Luke.
"What happened? I mean in the dreams. Do you think they mean anything? Kronos is supposed to be dead, but if you're having dreams about him…do you think that means he…..survived?" I frowned. In the background of the Iris message I saw Luke and Lukas returning. "I should go now." I waved my hand through the image to disconnect it, and Percy walked back though the door to tell me there were war games later then he kissed me.
