Disclaimer; I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or Heroes of Olympus


I hate Percy Jackson. And he hates me back.

You are my sunshine

He had saved me. Again. Just when things seemed bleakest, he always managed to pop up and try and save me. It had happened almost too many times now. Our first meeting had been him saving Bianca and I. That's where it happened. When I got a crush on Percy Jackson. Who couldn't like him? Those stupid sea green eyes of his, that smile and laugh. Hell, he was a two time hero of the gods, what wasn't to like? Damn how I hate you Percy. All you ever do is hurt me. And you do it with the best intentions, without even realizing it. Why do you have to be the hero? Why do I have to feel like this? Why can't it be someone else?

My only sunshine

But there's only you. Even though I know we'll never be together. Even when I see you with her, even when I realize that we'll never be, I know that I won't ever feel this way about anyone else. Because you're my first crush. And more than that, you're just different. Something about you brings out the best in me. At least it tires to. I try to keep it down, just like everything else inside of me. Who wants to be around a child of Hades? No one. No one likes us, no one cares. But you do. Why do you have to do this to me?

You make me happy

Despite everything you've done to me, you make me smile; you make me happy, something I haven't felt since you let me down, since you let my sister die. But she forgave you. I forgave you to. I had to after all I put you through, all the pain I made you suffer through trying to find me, to make up for what you had done. But I still pushed you away. I didn't want this, I didn't want these feeling, I didn't want you, and I didn't want you're rejection. Hazel is the only other person who can make me feel anything anymore. The others stay away, they're afraid. Even Jason's afraid, and he knows my secret. I hate him for that. Funny how many people I hate now. But you're still at the top of the list. I mean, right after Annabeth.

When skies are gray

Annabeth. She's always with you always clinging to you, her hero. Or at least she used to. Something in Tartarus changed you, changed her. You two seem scarred, as scarred as I am. I should be happy. Maybe you two are done, your relationship might be done. But I'm not happy. Because every time I see you, I see how broken you are. Just like me. Heroes shouldn't look like that. My hero shouldn't look like that.

You'll never know

You'll never know. You'll never know how I feel, because I'll be gone soon. I mean it this time. I stayed, I fought during our war with the giants, with Gaea. It's been over for a while now and I'm still here. I shouldn't be, but I am. Because of you. This time when I tell you I'm leaving, I'll ignore whatever stupid pep talk, baby seal eyes, or anything you do and I'll leave. Just like I did the first time. You'll never find me. But I'm lying. I know I'll come back, just like I always do. Because you're still all I really have.

Dear how much

Dear gods why do you like me? Why do you have to smile at me whenever you notice me, or come sit by me when I'm alone and try to talk to me. Why do you have to do this to me? And why do I keep doing this to myself? Why would I put myself through all this hurt, seeing you with her, putting up with how close you are, how oblivious you are. Why should I torture myself when you're always happy, when you never have to suffer the way I do. You'll never feel the same way I do. So why?

I love you

Oh. That's why. That's what this stupid feeling is. It isn't a crush. I'm not star struck. It's not a phase. I love you. I love everything about you, I don't even know where to start. That's why I stay. Because stupid as it is, as much as I hate it, there is still some moronic hope inside of me, wishing, waiting, dreaming of the day when we'll be together. Even though it will never come.

Please don't take

I don't hate you. Don't look at me like that, don't give me that betrayed look when I say it, when I turn and push you away. Please, I don't mean it! I'm not saying that when I scream just how much I hate you at the top of my lungs. Please don't leave me, don't look so broken, I'm so sorry! Never leave me! It's not you I hate when I scream it, when I push you away, when I fight you tooth and nail. I would never say that to you. I'm saying it to me. Please don't ever leave me. Annabeth, I beg you don't take him away from me. Please never take him away. I can't lose him.

My sunshine away

"Oh Nico…" Percy trails off, eyes wide. I had just laid it all on the table, put it all out there. I had to tell him, I had to tell him before I left. I couldn't lose him, but I couldn't live like this. "I know you hate me now. I'm leaving, I get it. Nobody wants me here, nobo" I never got to finish that sentence. Percy's lips crashed against mine, and I started, reveling at the sudden contact, before pushing at him.

"What was that? What about Annabeth" I managed to ask, reeling somewhere in between heaven and hell. "Neeks, I broke up with her weeks ago. Tartarus broke us." I saw the sadness in his eyes for a brief second before he pushed on. "But that's not the point! Everybody wants you here Nico! Especially me!" "Really?" I asked, unable to think of anything intelligent to say. Percy nodded. "I've been with Annabeth forever, but it wasn't right. It never fit, something was always wrong. Then I met you. I didn't know what I was feeling for the longest time, I was such an idiot. And then you almost died. Again. And then you risked yourself to come and save us, even though you could have saved yourself. Nico, I think- no, I know what I've been feeling now. I love you."

I stared at him, stared up into those sea green eyes. I love you. Three little words, three life changing words. "You do?" Percy nodded and repeated those words again. And then everything fell away. All the darkness, all the sorrow, the loss, the grief, the torture, everything. All that was left was the happiness, the love. I beamed, actually feeling myself start to cry as I stared up at him. I grabbed his shirt, pulling his head down to me and bringing our lips back together. Percy wrapped his arms around me, bringing me closer, until we broke away, noses almost touching. "I love you too Percy."

I love Percy Jackson. And he loves me back.


Just a quick little thing, remembered the song and had to put the two in it. Maybe I could try and twist it into an actual story later, add in a few characters, an actual plot, good writing. I digress. Anyways, hope you like this kinda preview thing I guess, I don't know. If you're interested, please review. If you're not, still review and tell me how much I sucked so I can try and fix it to make a better story. Anyways, thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
