Idea (c) me

"What the hell?!" Percy's outcry woke Nico with a start. "What...where...?" he mumbled while slowly sitting up, blinking at his surroundings.

He stared at the golden sand beneath him, the glittering blue ocean in front of him and at Percy, who seemed to try to get into the water but was being held back by some kind of invisible barrier.

Nico frowned. Why was he, son of Hades, seemingly alone with Percy, son of Poseidon, on some kind of island? He got up, brushing the sand off his clothes.

He tried to remember how they got here. They had been on the Argo II., happily sailing to their final destination, when a monster had felt like attacking them. Nico groaned. He remembered painfully how he had watched Percy being sent overboard and Nico had felt that horrifying sensation in his gut that Percy wouldn't be able to save himself – even though Percy was usually stronger in water. So Nico had done the only thing that had come to mind – dive after the older boy. He remembered how he had grabbed Percy's arm in the water, pulling him closer, realizing that the son of Poseidon was unconscious. Then suddenly a giant wave had caught them and all Nico could think of while being tossed around beneath masses of water, his air being pressed out of his lungs, was to keep holding on to Percy.

Then he had lost consciousness.

Percy walked towards him now. "Hey, you're finally awake. Are you feeling alright?" The boy with the green eyes asked him and he only nodded. "How did we get here?" Percy asked, hoping Nico would know the answer. But Nico could only shake his head. "I have no idea." Percy sighed. "Great...we need to get back to the ship. The others might be in danger." Nico nodded slowly and thought about possible ways to get back. "I could try shadow travel." He offered, but Percy shook his head. "Look down, mate." The younger one did. His heart skipped a beat. As weird as it was, they didn't have a shadow. Nico looked around him perplexed, then walked towards the forest behind them. When he got close enough to the shadows, he tried to concentrate, but nothing happened. "It won't work. I tried calling Ms. O'Leary but it seems that these shadows aren't shadow-y enough. Water won't work either. As soon as I pulled you out of it, it wouldn't allow me back into it." Percy explained and Nico's heart sank. He was really stuck on this island with Percy...? Like...completely alone? He swallowed hard. But before he could say anything else, Percy patted his head absentmindedly and looked around him agitated. "Don't worry, we'll find a way back. Let's look around for a place to spend the night. I'd love to say I hope there's someone living here, but I get the feeling that would also include monsters. And I don't really want to face monsters without a weapon." Nico frowned and reached for his Stygian Iron sword, just to notice it wasn't there.

What kind of place was this?!

Quietly, the two of them searched the woods for a cabin or at least something they could use as a hideout. But no matter where in the forest they were, they could see the sickeningly glittering beach through the branches. There were no big leaves they could use to protect themselves from any rain either if there happened to be any. The wood they found on the ground seemed so old they wondered if it would even burn anymore. The heat started to really get to them now. After several hours they found a little fountain in the middle of nowhere and were glad for the cool down. Nico hadn't noticed how thirsty he had been until he had drunk a handful of the cool water. "We should stick to this fountain. Who knows when we'll find the next?" Percy murmured and seemed much more relaxed now. Maybe the water had given him new hope. Nico caught himself staring at the older boy and turned away hastily. Just then, something caught his eye. "Percy, look!" The green-eyed boy came over hurriedly and gazed in the direction Nico was pointing. "Is that...a cave?" He asked and Nico nodded reluctantly. He was certain that this cave had not been there a minute ago and was not too keen on going into it. But in that moment the sun was gone, hidden behind a giant dark raincloud that had also not been there a moment ago. Nico and Percy glanced at each other.

When the rain came crashing down, they were already running for the cave.

Still they were soaked to the bone when they reached it a minute later. Their clothes clung to their bodies and the cold made their teeth clatter. "Shit! And we can't even make a fire!" Percy hissed. Nico groaned and they slid down at either side of the stone and stared outside at the rain. "If at least Leo was here...he could make a fire just by thinking about it..." Percy mumbled and Nico could feel a pang of pain in his chest. He was nothing but a bother. What had he thought, jumping after Percy? Why hadn't he instead shouted at one of the others to do it? They would have been better help than him any day. Nico was just a nuisance after all. All he could do was feel when people died and raise an army of the dead. Very helpful indeed. The younger boy wrapped his arms around his knees and rested his head on them, not looking at Percy. "I didn't mean to say I'm not glad you're here though. I'm glad I'm not stuck here all by myself." Percy muttered and Nico could suddenly feel the warm body of the older boy sitting down next to him. He blushed and refused to look up. Oh my god, Percy was so close. "You're shivering." Percy's voice wasn't more than a whisper and Nico could feel him moving.

Suddenly, Nico could feel all the liquid draining from his clothes. Percy must be controlling the water. But when he looked up he saw Percy looking at their clothes surprised, his arms still outstretched as if he had intended to hug Nico. They looked at each other, blinking. "Creepy, but ok..." Percy said with raised eyebrows and Nico looked around him frowning, suddenly wondering whether there was someone – or something – watching them. Percy seemed to have similar thoughts. "Let's worry about danger when it's here." He said and leaned against Nico, putting an arm around him lazily. Nico blushed so hard he thought he would pass out. His heartbeat quickened rapidly, his whole body stiffened. But Percy only rubbed his head against Nico's shoulder, muttering: "You ok? Don't worry, everything will be fine. Let's just sleep..." and did just that.

Nico couldn't fall asleep just like that. Not with Percy so close to him. Not with being stuck on an island with Percy. So the younger boy stayed awake, quietly savoring this moment with Percy leaning against him. He stared at the rain, watching it fall to the ground, turning the sand into mud. After some hours, Nico's eyes finally fell shut and he slumped against Percy, sleeping like a baby.

When Nico woke up again, he was laying on Percy's lap, drooling out of the corner of his mouth. Percy was stroking through his hair softly, grinning down at him with his fabulous smile. Nico turned bright red and sat up so fast his head was spinning. "What the..." He muttered and stared at Percy in shock. But the older boy just laughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. But you looked so cute, sleeping like that, I just couldn't resist." He apologized and Nico blushed even harder. Cute? He? He jumped to his feet, turning away from the grinning Percy – and staring straight into a dark tunnel. He frowned. When they had found this place there hadn't been a tunnel like this. Or maybe they had been too tired and wet to notice?

Percy got up too. "Yeah, I saw. Weird, isn't it? How things just appear out of nowhere? It's like magic, really. You think Hecate got something to do with this?" Nico shrugged. "I have no clue. Want to explore it further?" He had this weird feeling again, the feeling that they shouldn't go in there, but maybe they could find a way out? Percy nodded reluctantly. It seemed to get darker the further they walked into it. Nico couldn't tell whether they had walked for several hours or simply some minutes as they wandered aimlessly through the dark, their shoulders occasionally brushing against each other. They didn't talk much, so all they could hear were their own footsteps and their nervous breathing. After what could have been days they arrived at some kind of door. The only way they could tell was because Nico had run headfirst into it. Percy caught him as he stumbled back. "Whoa, watch out. You alright?" Nico could see Percy's face close to his and forced himself to put some distance between them, blushing heavily again. "Yeah...I'm ok." Then he noticed something weird. It was still dark around them, yet they could see each other as well as the door in front of them (which had NOT been visible when he had run into it).

Percy grabbed the handle and the door flung open. They almost expected something to happen. Maybe an attack or a god or madman laughing at them. Or at least something like a torture room full of old skeletons. Instead, it seemed like an empty room. The fact that it looked so normal made it seem so much more eerie. It was a square, dark room with nothing but normal white walls, a low ceiling and a flickering light, turning the room in some kind of blue-green. It seemed surprisingly warm even though there was no source of warmth in the room. Nico and Percy glanced at each other and stepped into the room. The door slammed shut behind them, making them both jump. When Percy tried to open it, it didn't budge. "That...was to be expected, I suppose..." Nico swallowed and looked around the room again.

He had thought being stuck with Percy on an island had been bad, but being looked into a dark, small room alone with Percy seemed ten times worse. As he turned around to Percy, he was already on his way to the wall on the left that seemed to have something dark attached to it. Nico followed anxiously.
"What...is that?" Percy asked. Coming closer, Nico realized that the black thing he thought was attached to the wall, was actually hanging from the ceiling, dangling down in front of the wall around an arm-length above their heads. Nico realized with a jolt that it was a chain, right when Percy stretched out his hand and touched them. The younger boy jumped forward and wanted to push the chains out of his hand.
"Don't touch that!" He yelled, but just in that moment the chain snapped, locking both their hands in a tight grip. "What the..." Percy yelped and Nico tried to pull his hand free but promptly lost his balance on the dark floor and fell against Percy who barely managed to keep them both balanced. "S-Sorry..." Nico muttered, utterly flustered against the older boy's back while blushing and pushing himself away from him. But thanks to the chain he couldn't get very far and dangled back towards Percy, who groaned and tried to keep them steady without much success.
After what seemed like ages, they finally managed to stay balanced, even though Nico felt like being much too close to Percy. His chest was pressed against the older boy's back and his free right arm kept brushing Percy's side or butt, making Nico blush even more furiously, while Percy tried to laugh it all off and used his free hand to try free their chained hands. But of course without success.
"Well, at least it's our left hands. Means we'll at least be able to defend ourselves if we get attacked..." Percy muttered to find at least something positive about the situation. Nico tried hard to concentrate about something else than the fact that Percy's butt kept brushing against Nico's groin. "We have no weapons, you forgot?" Nico reminded him while looking around the room, fixing his concentration on anything but the boy in front of him.
Percy groaned. "That's right. Just great. I'm sorry, Nico."
Nico only shrugged, still refusing to even look at Percy's back. He could still see it out of the corner of his eye but tried his best to ignore it while staring at a dark spot on the floor two feet away from him. But somehow the more he stared at it the more it seemed to form itself into a kind of miniature replica of Percy's lean body and Nico closed his eyes, sighing.

How was he going to survive this torture? Percy was so damn close, yet unreachable for Nico.
He was going mad. His mind filled with all those possibilities he had ever dreamed off, all those things Nico had ever wanted Percy to do.
They were all by themselves. There was no saying they would ever get out of here. Since they were chained together in an empty room in an empty cave on an empty island, they would most likely die of starvation. But until then they could be having so much...fun.
Nico shook his head vehemently and almost lost his balance, tumbling slightly against Percy, who didn't seem to notice or didn't mind. What was he thinking?!
This was no time for imagining hot kisses and intimate touches.
No time for imagining all those passionate moments they could be sharing. Percy was straight.
Percy had a girlfriend.
Percy did not even know Nico liked him.
He should be thinking of a way to get out of here and reunite Percy with his beloved.
"You alright? Nico?" Percy asked and turned his head slightly. Nico averted his head and nodded stiffly. Percy didn't seem to be very satisfied by that though.
"Something bothering you?" He asked and tried to turn around slowly, his caught wrist slowly turning in the chain.
Nico suddenly looked alarmed. What was Percy thinking?!
He can't turn around to face him now.
Not with him still having all those indecent thoughts and his pants being awfully tight around his groin.
But too late.
Percy had managed to turn around and almost lost his footing, falling against Nico for a second who tried to scramble out of the way, which then made them both lose their balance and bump against each other's sides.
Since it was both their left arms that were being restrained, they now weren't glued against each other too much anymore since Percy turned, but still too close in Nico's opinion. Their arms suspended between them, he felt Percy's gaze burning into him.
"Nico, why don't you look at me? You never look at me." Percy sounded as if he was sulking. Nico still refused to look at him.
He loved the way Percy said his name. It had that really nice ring to it.
Nico couldn't resist imagining Percy moaning his name while pushing deeper into Nico- he forcefully concentrated on a spot far away and tried to think of something different.
His heart was beating so fast he wouldn't be surprised if he died from a heart attack instead of starvation.
He noticed Percy seemed to still wait for an answer, so he quickly shrugged and put all his concentration on that spot he was staring to death.
He felt a hand on his chin and jumped, his eyes automatically locking with Percy's.
The older boy smiled softly at him. "There we go. Am I really that ugly?" Nico blushed and tried to pull away but couldn't without losing his balance. Percy's chuckled slightly, making Nico feel dumbfounded.
He pushed Percy's hand away and looked back to the spot he had concentrated on, forcing all those impure thoughts of Percy on top of him, pinning him down and touching him in all kinds of places out of his mind.
He was going to die.
His pants were incredibly tight around his groin now and his vision was blurry with longing.
What was he thinking?! Well, he knew what he was thinking about. But why?! Ok, that he knew as well. But why now?!

"...me that much?" Nico was pulled out of his thoughts. "Eh...what?" He asked and forced himself not to look at Percy, which seemed to become more difficult by the second. "Do you really hate me that much?" Percy repeated and Nico found himself staring at the green-eyed hero.
Hate? Where did he get that idea from?
He loved this guy. Not that he could tell him that.
Wait...hate? Why hate?
Nico's brain seemed fuzzy, which wasn't that surprising. He dared any guy to think straight with a giant ass erection and their object of lust right in front of them.
"I...I don't hate you..." He mumbled and blushed again, hoping to avoid any weird questions now.
Of course, luck had never been on his side. He blamed his father for it.
"Why don't you ever look at me then? How come we barely talk? Nico, stop looking away from me all the damn time!" Percy sounded right out annoyed now and turned Nico's face towards his forcefully, looking him deep into the eyes.
Nico swallowed hard. Their faces were so close together, he could feel Percy's breath on his skin, making him painfully aware of the goose bumps he was getting all over his body together with a pleasant shiver.
This was so tempting. So torturing. Seeing Percy's green eyes so close, the way his eyebrows furrowed, the way his lips seemed to form a pout. His skin was so even as well.
Nico wondered whether it would be as soft as it looked – not that he'd ever get a chance to touch it.
He had to swallow again.
Sadly he wasn't able to distance himself any further this time.
He simply hoped that by some miracle Percy would not notice Nico's hard-on. "I...I..." Nico tried to form a sentence but with all these indecent thoughts there was no way he could build one that didn't include 'I love you' or 'Oh my god, Percy I want you so bad!'. Percy studied his face, his eyebrows furrowed. "Are you feeling ok? You look like you got a fever or something." With that said, the older boy put his hand on Nico's forehead.
Nico froze. Percy had such warm hands.
Somehow when Percy had held his chin, Nico hadn't been able to notice much, but now he could feel that comforting warmth and it made him even more giddy than he already was.
He could picture that head running over his body, touching him at all those different places, making him moan in agony.
"Nico?" Nico blushed furiously and pushed Percy's hand away. Damn it, he had moaned aloud. Not thinking straight, he tried to walk away, momentarily forgetting about his left arm being chained.
He stumbled, lost his balance completely and fell against Percy, who was not expecting this at all and lost his footing as well.
They both fumbled around, their legs entangling themselves and Nico let out a low groan when Percy's leg brushed against his erection. His mind felt dizzier than ever before.
"Whoa, Nico, careful..." Percy mumbled when he started regaining his balance, his arm around Nico, keeping him tightly pressed against him so they would not trip again.
Nico moaned and tried to think but it was so damn hard.
He looked up into Percy's beautiful sea-green eyes...and he threw all caution to the wind.
He grabbed the front of Percy's t-shirt, pulling him down to meet his lips with his own. Percy's lips were softer than Nico would have thought possible and he used the fact that they were slightly open to let his tongue slip into the mouth of the other.
It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
He had always imagined kissing the son of Poseidon, always imagined what he would taste like and how it would feel.
But it was nothing compared to this.

Percy couldn't believe it. Here he was, standing in an empty room, his left arm stuck in chains above his head, with Nico's tongue down his throat.
What the hell?
He was so perplexed that he couldn't even push the boy away.
When he felt something hard rub against his leg, he finally found the strength to stop it.
"Nico...stop..." He mumbled, his face getting hot while he pushed the boy off him. Nico looked at him, his eyes clouded with what seemed like pure lust.
His mouth was still slightly open, breathing heavily. Percy tried to think.
What was going on? Was Nico ill or something? Why would he go and KISS Percy all of a sudden?!
But before Percy could think of anything to say or do, Nico had grabbed him once more and pulled him in for a kiss.
Percy could feel his insides turn, but to his horror it felt good.
He was sensitive enough to feel the heat radiating from the boy's body and he surely was skilled with his tongue, even though Percy tried to push him away, Nico was stubborn.
"P-Percy..." He moaned and Percy could feel a tug on his shirt and the next thing he knew, Nico ran his hands over Percy's chest. He gulped and pushed Nico away with more force. "What the...stop it!" He almost yelled and stared at Nico unbelieving. Now his own chest was heaving heavily and he could feel his cheeks blushing.
Something inside him turned and made him want to get Nico to touch him again, but he tried to push the thought down.
This was stupid. Were they drugged or something?
Why would Nico do something like that?
And why would Percy LIKE it?!

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Percy asked Nico, but he didn't seem to be able of thinking straight. Percy could still feel something rub against his leg and tried to step away, but then Nico pulled him down into what seemed to be a hug. "I...I love you Percy...I love you so much..." The younger boy's voice was nothing more than a whisper, but to Percy it was as if he had yelled him in the face.
The whole world seemed to have been turned upside down.
This was impossible. It couldn't be.
He had thought Nico hated him. This must be some kind of joke.
But even as Percy thought that, he knew that Nico was serious.
He found himself hugging the boy back even though he didn't have any recollection of putting his arm around him.
Then suddenly he felt Nico's hand at his belt, fumbling with it for a second, then going downward.
"Wait...Nico...stop..." Percy tried to push Nico away but Nico wouldn't even as much as budge. Then he could feel Nico's rather cool hands against his dick and couldn't push down a moan. He could feel himself harden at Nico's skilled hands and for a second, he could do nothing but close his eyes and enjoy the sensation.
A weird feeling spread throughout this body and it felt so good.
So right.
Then his mind clicked in again and he tried frantically to stop Nico.
He pushed his hand away and held it up, but that only pulled Nico closer to him.
Percy could feel Nico's breath on his skin, saw how his dazed eyes drifted from Percy's eyes to his lips and Percy couldn't deny that his own eyes darted to the lips of the smaller teen as well.
No, he reminded himself.
This wasn't right. He had to stop this.
But even as he thought that, his eyes darted back and forth between the boy's full lips and his dark brown eyes.
With his olive-colored skin and his beautiful dark eyes, he was really beautiful.
Percy had never really noticed.
He also noticed how Nico's erection rubbed against his own now and could hear the small moans the boy was making.
His own erection was now reacting to Percy's thoughts more than Nico's former touches and his eyes became as dazed as Nico's.
Nico made a small sound, close to a whimper and Percy let go of his hand instinctively.

The next moment however, it wasn't Nico who kissed him, but Percy who pushed his lips onto Nico's. The younger boy let out a surprised "Hmpf!" before putting his everything into the kiss.
Their lips parted and Percy dominated Nico's mouth, taking in everything he could.
From the sweet taste to the way his tongue flickered around, challenging his.
The way the boy leaned into the kiss, their groins rubbing against each other.
Percy was completely lost in desire. He could feel the boy trembling and pulled him closer to himself, his arm securely around his waist.
Nico's hand had been on the back of Percy's neck but was now moving down slowly, touching Percy all over the place.
Their kiss got more thrilling by the second and Percy's hand seemed to travel beneath Nico's shirt up his back by itself, stroking him softly while kissing him like his life depended on it.
Nico's hand was more adventurous and started going back inside Percy's half-open pants to stroke the length of his dick again.
Percy pushed down a moan and his own hand darted towards the front of Nico, touching his chest and pinching his erect nipples. At this, Nico let go of a louder moan that instantly made Percy want to hear more.
The way Nico's voice sounded in his ears, it was like aphrodisiac.
He started playing with his nipples, watching Nico's amazingly erotic reactions with lust-filled eyes, feeling his erection pulsating with want.
The younger boy moaned and whimpered, pushing his body against Percy's touch, driving the older boy almost insane. He let go of the nipples just to let his hand go downwards and open Nico's pants. The younger boy drew a sharp breath, eyes closed and his face screwed up as if he could barely hold back.
Percy smiled to himself and grabbed Nico's dick. "P-Percy!" Nico uttered and tried to muffle the scream of pleasure a second later, when he couldn't hold back anymore and started to cum.
His hand that had been in Percy's pants fell limply to his side and his head bumped against Percy's shoulder.
Everything seemed to be turning and he could still feel the after effects of his orgasm. Percy let go of Nico's dick just to grab his face and push his lips back onto his.
A wild tongue play started and Nico couldn't help but stare at the love of his life. This got to be a dream. The best dream in his entire life. Percy slowly kissed down the side of Nico's neck and started sucking at an exceptionally soft spot, making Nico moan anew.
Then he took the younger boy's hand and led it back to his pants where his own erection was throbbing hard.
Nico's eyes widened and he opened Percy's pants completely and sliding them down until he could see Percy's exposed dick. The sight made his insides swoon and his own dick harden once more. Percy chuckled and nudged Nico's erection with his own.
Nico blushed and looked up into lust-filled green eyes. Then his hand closed around Percy's erection once more and he started jerking, making Percy moan softly into his ear.
"Nico..." He whispered and Nico's heart seemed to jump out of his chest.
His whole body got all tingly and he was close to cuming again. Then suddenly he felt Percy's hand on his backside, prodding against his entrance and he muffled a scream by biting into Percy's shoulder which only made Percy moan anew and kiss Nico's neck.

Percy felt pre-cum trickle out of his dick and knew he had to work fast, but he also wanted to make sure to prepare Nico properly.
As he pushed one finger inside the younger boy, he could feel him contracting and hear him moan loudly. "Oh god...P-Percy..." He whimpered and pushed against his finger while hiding his face at Percy's shoulder.
"Let me...see your face..." Percy heard his own husky voice and Nico lifted his head a bit for him to see. He had that adorable flush of pink on his cheeks, his eyes full of lust and love, his mouth slightly open and breathing heavily.
His dark hair seemed even untidier than usual and Percy wished he had his right arm to brush one of the strands out of Nico's face.
Instead, he pushed his finger deeper into Nico, making him moan loudly and looking at him with clouded eyes that begged for more. Percy could feel himself throbbing badly now and decided to insert a second finger into the boy.
Nico's eyes widened as he moaned louder, a trail of saliva running down from his mouth.
It was the hottest thing Percy had ever seen.
"N-Nico..." He muttered, pulling his fingers out again and grabbing the chain above their heads. Then he turned Nico around, making sure not to twist his wrist and then wrapped his arm around Nico's midriff, pulling him close.
"Nico..." He moaned, prodding his erection against Nico's entrance, making the younger boy moan and gasp.
"P-Percy!" The way Nico said his name gave Percy a pleasant shiver throughout his body and something inside him purred as if he had always waited for this to happen. Then he bit the younger boy's shoulder and pushed himself into him.
Nico drew a sharp breath and tried to push down a scream, but Percy knew how much it must hurt. He tried to stay still for a moment to give the younger boy's body a chance to get used to his intrusion.
"Percy..." Nico moaned and Percy kissed the side of his neck. He could see a single tear running down the side of Nico's cheek and licked it off.
"You are so brave..." He heard himself saying and then started tentatively pushing into the younger boy some more. At first it sounded like Nico was in a lot of pain, but after a few thrusts he could feel Nico relaxing against him, moaning with more pleasure than pain in his voice.
Percy's vision was blurry.
Being inside Nico felt like the best thing in the world.
He was so tight it took all of Percy's willpower to keep going instead of just cuming. He didn't want this to end.
If he let this end, he didn't know whether there would be a second time.

He kept pushing further and further into Nico who had by now reached his limit, his own erection throbbing so badly he thought he would explode.
"Nico..." He could hear Percy's voice at his ear. "I'm...I'm gonna..." Nico muttered and could feel Percy nod while thrusting his dick all the way inside him. "Hold on...one moment..." Percy's husky voice filled Nico's body like oxygen.
This was everything he had ever dreamed of, just a hundred times more intense, a hundred times better, a hundred times more real. It took all of his willpower to hold back any longer.
"P-Percy..." He moaned and his head fell back while Percy kept thrusting into him mercilessly, his arm tightly around Nico, holding him as close as possible. "N-Nico...!" Nico couldn't hold it any longer.
He came with such a force it almost knocked him out. His vision was blurry and he could feel his legs giving way. Percy moaned loudly into the scruff of Nico's neck and Nico could feel the older boy cuming inside him.
Percy held him tightly pressed against him, keeping him from losing his footing.
He was still inside Nico, his eyes tightly shut, breathing heavily against Nico's neck. Nico leaned his head back against Percy and couldn't see anything but stars, even though he knew they were still in the eerie room.
He couldn't believe what had just happened.
Had it really happened?
"Percy..." He heard his own weak voice mutter.
"Hmm?" Percy opened one eye lazily and eyes Nico's profile.
The younger boy seemed incredibly drowsy. A smirk hushed over his face.

"I love you." Nico murmured and closed his eyes.
Percy didn't say anything. He refused to think of anything right now except of how awesome he felt.
Deep inside, he wanted to say those words back, but he knew it wouldn't be right.
The voice in his head was getting louder now too, shouting at him to get away from Nico, to remember he was with Annabeth and how he dared to do this.
But Percy ignored it and nibbled at Nico's neck, who couldn't suppress a chuckle.

Then, without a moment's notice or anything, the chains rattled and opened, freeing the two of their prison. Their right arms came whooshing down, lolling around uselessly.
It seemed they had fallen asleep at some point.
Nico and Percy stayed the way they were for a moment, then Nico drifted off into a kind of unconsciousness and dropped.
Percy caught him and laid him down carefully, a shy smile on his face as he bent over and kissed Nico softly on the lips.
"Sorry...I think I overdid it a bit..." He murmured and laid down next to the boy.
Nico's slow breathing seemed so soothing.
And Percy so didn't feel like listening to that annoying voice in his head.
Of course he knew the voice was right. But that didn't mean he wanted to hear it. Instead, he fell asleep, Nico next to him.
