Nico hadn't talked to Percy in days, and it was killing him. Percy need his best friend, there was so much he needed to tell him, if only Neeks would swallow that fucking pride of his and let him speak. He still hung around Rachel and Neeks, around her Nico had a great time and would even smile. It hit him in the gut, making him feel really bad. Lately Rachel and Percy's parents were the only ones who could make the boy smile.
Rachel waved bye and hugged Percy. Then she hugged Nico, making him smile. "Bye Rach. Love ya."
Rachel smile back soft and sweetly, her hand on Nico's cheek. "Love you to Princess."
Nico narrowed his eyes at her, Rachel giggled and Nico chuckled. He closed the door softly behind her.
After Dinner Sally pulled the boys aside. She smiled softly with sympathy in her eyes,
"Nico, son. I- I have to take your bedroom away. We need it for something else."
Nico's shoulders slumped, his eyes sad and his bottom lip trembled.
"But- but mommy, why?"
For the month that Nico had liked with the Jacksons he had became family, even though Percy and Nico weren't on the best of terms at the moment Nico was still Sally's boy.
"It's because . . . Paul and I are going to be parents. I'm having a baby." Sally smiled sweet and kindly, happiness spreading across her face and she glowed with a happy warm light.
Percy and Nico broke into grins and pulled their Mom into a hug. They both ended up in a group hug, Nico was uncomfortable hugging Percy but he wouldn't let that bother him, he brushed it off, he was going to have another little sibling.
"That's amazing Mom!" Percy said smiling his crooked warm smile from ear to ear. He looked like a total dork. Nico rolled his eyes at Perce, and yet those skeletal butterflies resurrected in his stomach.
"It is. I am so happy for you Mum." Nico beamed and laughed happily. Sally laughed, "So you two will have to be sharing a bedroom." She said, her smile not faltering.
"Alright Mom. Anything for you." Nico laughed and shook his head. He went into his bedroom and started packing his things.
Nico unpacked his things in Percy's room. He had his black and gray plaid pj bottoms on. Nico was brushing his teeth he went to grab his shirt to put it on when he heard a knock on the door.
"Are you decent?" Percy's voice called from the other side of the door. Nico's cheeks heated up.
He tried saying no but his mouth was full of form from the tooth paste. He grabbed a cup and spit it out. He turned around to say "No!" but his words died in his throat.
Percy finished towel drying his hair and tossed the towel across the room. He had no pj bottoms, his camp shirt was on and he only wore boxer shorts. Percy's mouth hung a jar a little.
"Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer." Nico growled. He grabbed his ACDC shirt off the bed, threw it over his head, and pulled it down covering himself up. Percy winced and bite his bottom lip, then he spoke. "You can have the bed if you want. I want you to be comfortable." He said kindly.
"Comfortable? Comfortable? Jackson, there is nothing comfortable about this situation." Nico mumbled under his breath.
"I'm sorry I don't want my Ghost King to have a sore back in the morning." Percy apologized rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm not your Ghost King. I could of been in the past but not now, not ever. You already have someone who's yours. So stop calling me yours when I don't belong to you." Nico snapped. He turned his head away from the Sea Prince and glared daggers out the window.
"Nico, I don't have anyone that's mine." Percy said softly.
Confusion washed over Nico's face, he turned around and looked at Perce. "Yes you do, you have that English Teacher guy, Mr. Rogers."
Percy shook his head and looked into the eyes of the Underworldly King's Son. "Nico, I had talked with Annabeth before him. We both admitted to falling for someone else. Annabeth had fallen for Piper. I fell for-"
"For Mr. Rodgers. I know this Percy." Nico couldn't stop it, his voice was a soft hurt whisper and his head dropped, his hair falling in his face. Nico could feel the tears starting to sting his eyes, threatening to drop.
"No, that's not what I was going to say." Percy lifted Nico's chin so the boy had to look at him.
"But- I- I thought you had a thing for- I saw you with Mr. Rogers. How can a hot make out shish like that mean nothing?" Nico asked, growing more and more confused.
"Because I wanted him to teach me how to kiss a boy." Percy admitted, his cheeks slightly flushed.
Nico blinked dumfounded. He looked up at Percy. "It wasn't Mr. Rodgers who you went gay for?"
Percy shook his head.
"Well, then- then who?"
Nico's stuttered. But then a teasing smile spread across his face.
"I'm your best friend I deserve to know."
"I don't want to be your best friend anymore Nico." Percy admitted, pulling down the sleeve to his jacket. That hit Nico like a stab to the back, a punch in your gut, or a kick in your groin. Unexpected and heart wrenching.
Nico's hands trembled and tears formed in his eyes. He sniffed.
"If- if that's what you want Percy."
Percy reached his hand out and Nico flinched, that pulled Percy's heart strings. Perce gently ran a finger under Nico's eye and wiped his tears. "Because I want more than that. I- I want to go out with you Nico."
Nico punched Percy in the gut and he inhaled sharply, in pain.
"Why the hell didn't you say so sooner?! You nearly broke my heart gods damn it." Tears ran down from his dark eyes and onto his pale skin. Nico grabbed a hold of Percy's shirt collar and kissed him hard and deeply on the lips.
Percy put one hand to the crook in Nico's neck and the other in the boys raven black hair, kissing him back deep and passionately. Percy had gotten his Ghost King and as they kissed he promised himself on the styx that he'd never ever let Nico go again.
The End
