Unfortunately I do think this is best costume design choice they could’ve made because this is just peak questionable teenage boy fashion

[pretty-ships]

Percy after saving Nico from a horde of monsters: Look. I don't know how I could possibly make it any clearer. No one kills you but me.

Nico: What?

Percy: If you die, it's gonna be because I did it. Otherwise, natural causes when you're eighty-three or older.

Nico: I'm so confused.

Percy: What's to be confused about? If I'm not killing you, then you're not allowed to die! You know how much work I've put into keeping you alive? You think I'm just gonna let you squander that on someone else??

Percy: You're my responsibility! Mine to keep alive and mine to murder! Okay? You're mine!

Nico:

Nico: This is... so not the context I thought would ever precede those words.

Percy: Well, that's your own fucking fault, Nico. If you wanted me to have different context, you should've worked harder to stay alive. How am I supposed to focus on falling in love with your twink ass when I have to save you after you've charged into yet another deadly situation?

Nico: What is happening right now?

Waiting

Percy jackson/Nico di Angelo, Chapter one (prolouge)

Will be up on ao3 tommarow, if everything goes according to plan :) expect weekly updates there, and posts about it here! Not beta read :( If anyone would volunteer I would write you super cool yaoi ♡♡

"Good things come to those who wait, Nicholas."

"You promise?"

"Mhm, everythings gonna work out. Let it."

---

Nico di Angelo was sick of waiting.

Sick of expecting things to work out, sick of watching someone else get what he wanted.

The worst part was that Nico wasn't even sure if he even deserved it or not.

Did he deserve it? Happiness? A life? A lover? A sister?

He had helped save the world, but he wasnt proud of what he did. The scenes that played out on his eyelids everynight made sure of that. Deaths that he caused.

It had been long five years, a million deaths, two wars, and one dead sister. How much longer did he have to wait?

What was he waiting for? It was more like who.

Percus Jackson, son of the sea god.

Nico knew it wrong, so, so wrong for him to want Percy as much as he did. He had known it since he was ten, watching Percy fight with inhuman perfection, the first hero he ever saw.

He knew that it was wrong when his feelings didnt dull after Percy Jackson had gotten his sister killed.

Even when he ran away from camp, he still wanted Percy. He felt it in his gut everytime he had wound up near a beach, everytime he saw a pair of green eyes.

When Nico had ran away, he even stole a keychain with a little shark on it. He had promised himself that one day he would give it to Percy. It still hung on his backpack, shoved in one of the closets of cabin 13.

Now, things had gotten more complicated.

Deciding to stay at camp, to stay where they don't want him, to stay with Percy, was a impulsive choice that he should have made when he wasnt dead on his feet.

The first days after the war were more easy than he expected. He stayed in the infirmity, sleeping, mostly.

Will solace was nice enough, and he had taken to babying Nico his time there. He was even hesitant to discharge Nico, claiming that sleeping for that long was concerning.

Nico only shrugged at that, "The dead are always tired."

Nico thinks thats when Will Solace finally got creeped out by him.

Nico wasn't super hung up on that, most people didnt stick around long, let alone people who are happy.

People who werent happy included Jason Grace, who had been checking in on Nico consistently since the incident. Nico had to keep Jason on his side, for nothing more than needing his secret to be kept. And, maybe, because Jason had proved that he really is his friend.

The only problem with Jason was the problem with most things, he was friends with Percy Jackson.

Nico felt as if the son of posiden was haunting him. It had to be some sort of sick joke the fates were playing on him, dangling what he wanted so close in front of him.

And Percy did have a bad habit of popping up were Nico didnt want him.

It was two am, campfire had long ended and Nico couldn't sleep. Scratch that, he could. And he did. Untill... another Nightmare. He never quite remembered his dream, though he knew this one took him back to tarterus.

He couldnt stay in his cabin anymore. Not when Hazel was back in Camp Jupiter, not when he wanted to keep his skin intact.

He slipped out into the night.

He wasnt quite sure where he planned to go, but somehwere along the line he found himself on the far side of the beach. It made him feel a little better, he couldn't be in hell if he was here. He couldnt be in hell if the sea was the color of percy jacksons eyes.

Unfortunately, and Nico shouldve known that no beach was safe, someone else had came out that night.

Nico had taken off his converse, planting his feet in the sand on the edge of the water. He still felt a little on edge, he always did, but it calmed to a pulse behind his eyes. Eventually, he did sit down. He put his chin on his knees, and tried to ignore the lingering feeling that someone was watching him.

There was, turns out, someone Watching.

Nico jumped when Percy sank down next to him. He only looked up at him for a moment before staring back down at the sea. Shit.

"...why're you out here so late?" Percy's voice sent shivers down nicos spine. How did he always manage to do that?

"It's not that late, Jackson." He whispered back, hiding lingering feelings and igored wants behind indifference. That was second nature to Nico.

Percy let out a breath of frustration, and nico couldnt stop his eyes from flicking back up to the son of posiden. His chest tightened. He couldn't stop his lips from moving either.

"Sorry," he mumbled "I.. nightmare." He admitted softly. "Didn't want to... you know." He planted his eyes back on the water, but he could feel Percy's eyes on him now.

There was a silence that settled for a moment. Nico wondered if he said too much. Percy swallowed.

"..same."

Nico pursed his lips, and when his eyes flicked up to Percy's, he didnt look away.

"..was it.. tarterus?"

"...yeah."

"...it helps me to shower, sometimes. You know.. wash it off. The dirt, blood.. whatever." Nico offered weakly, freezing when Percy smiled.

"I'll keep that in mind." The smile was soft. More like weak, really. It made percys eyes crinkle at the edges but something in the deep green of them seemed sad. Hurt.

"Nico?"

"Hm?"

"What was it like for you?"

Nico looked away again. Percy cringed. He stepped to far, didnt he? Nico sighed.

"It was...dark. not like normal shadows, darker. Things were everywhere. Bad things. I don't..i thought i was dead." Nico ended abruptly with a small sigh. "I think thats why i like it out here so much. If the sky is so clear, and the beach exists, there cant really be that darkness, can there?"

Romeo + Juliet 1996 but make it percico

[pretty-ships]

Thinking about percy dragging nico to his family vacation.. that beach house, full of estelle, sally, paul, percy...and now nico.

Percy makes nico share a room with him, even if they take turns sleeping on the floor. Dragging him out to the beach, to get ice-cream, Nico eating sallys food and eating at least two meals everyday-

Percy gets him tacky gifts from the giftshops (by the end of the week Nico also gets percy a little shark keychain, percy almost cries.)

They arent quite just friends, they just let feelings linger. Sally knows, she watches, and smiles, and looks between the two of them, and Nico looks away because why does she know everything? He accidently called her mama once when she woke him up, and estelle started calling nico her brother three days in.

And everynight, percy and nico walk on the beach. Once or twice, estelle joined to crab hunt, but most of the time it was just them. Nico was a little surprised how cold the beach got at night, and how warm percys hand.

By the end of the trip, neither of them are sleeping on the floor.

It'll take them a little longer to really date, a little longer to accept that they can be loved, but the jackson family vacation always included nico after that year.

[pretty-ships]

Nico n percy and they think theyre being sooo secretive but percy just actively wears band shirts that dont belong to him and panics everytime someone askes.

Once nico wore percys shark slides to run to his cabin and grab somthing, and someone managed to get a picture and nico has to pretend their his slides for like 3 weeks until ppl let it go (they all know.)

And percy starts bringing energy drinks to camp, and nico suddenly had a never-ending supply of mosters? And percy has one of those most tab bracelets that will teach nico to make.
