Percy's POV

Today was an interesting day. Annabeth was yelling at me for something or another and then she yelled,

"Percy you d¡ck! I swear, I'm going to chop off your balls and feed them to my owl."

Gross right?

But then, Nico comes running toward us from behind me, snakes his arm through mine, and cups my, er, crotch area.

"MINE! NO TOUCH!"

And now on to the actual chapter.

Percy's POV

It's been two days since I almost tried to kiss Nico. Well, I didn't actually try to kiss him but... I may or may not have been imagining it. Either way, it's been two days and he's been unusually silent since then. I mean, it's not like he's a Leo and just talks constantly but he always has some sarcastic thing to say. Lately, if you're lucky, the only thing he says is,

"..."

But sometimes it's just,

".." if he's feeling tired.

So I've been doing my best to stick close to him, in an attempt to make sure he stays and because I promised Jason I would. I still don't like the fact that Jason is closer to my Nico than I am. Doesn't he understand that Nico's mine? Er, I mean, that he was my friend first.

Anyways!

I left my cabin this morning fully intending to head over to the Hades cabin and wake Nico up when I saw a crowd of people start to run in the same direction I was going. Obviously I panicked and started running with them.

When I got to cabin 13 I found out why everyone was running. Nico was sprawled out on the floor in front of his cabin in only his black skull boxers.

"Nico!" I rushed through the crowd to get to him, "are you alright?"

"I'm fine Perce," he said as I helped him up, "just feeling a bit... Exposed." So apparently he feels like talking now. I looked around at all the campers circled around us. Most of the girls were eyeing him hungrily and a few of the guys too. His face turned red as he tried to cover himself up with his arms.

"What happened?"

"I'm not really sure. One minute I'm in bed, asleep, and the next my cabin starts glowing pink! Of all colors! I was freaked out for a second and then I end up out here. I tried to go back inside but every time I get close it starts glowing again and I'm thrown back. If this is a prank, someone's going to get seriously hurt," he seethed.

I almost gushed by how cute he looked.

...

...

Not that I think he's cute...

Stop giggling!

Whatever, anyways, he started pouting at me and I won't even deny that I really wanted to kiss that look off his face.

"Why don't we get you to the big house. We can get you some clothes there and away from all these... Girls..."

His face went pale and I think he just noticed all of the people staring at him.

"Yes please," he begged.

I put my arms around him and started to walking him toward the big house. When he looked up at me with a questioning face, I simply replied,

"To cover you up a little."

Sure I secretly liked holding him in my arms. That doesn't make me gay.

Right?

No, of course not.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts ad continued to guide Nico away from the horde of people.

When we had arrived at the Big House he tried to pull himself out of my arms and walk into the big building. He didn't make it very far. Just like he had described with his cabin, as soon as he got close to the building it started to glow pink and he was thrown back to the ground by an invisible force. Seeing as my arms were still mostly around him, he dragged me down too and we both landed in an awkward pile on the grass.

"Percy?"

"Chiron!" I called as I shot up, "We need your help!"

"We?" He asked.

"Me and Nico," I answered.

"Nico and I," he corrected.

"Nico and I," I repeated.

He looked past me as if just noticing Nico for the the first time and took in his state of... undress...

"Ah, I see. Come in."

"That's kind of the problem sir. He can't go inside the Big House. Or his cabin for that matter." And so I told him what I knew while Nico pressed himself up against my side in an attempt to remain modest. I think my face might have been as red as his.

When I finished explaining everything to Chiron he got a deep, thoughtful look on his face and I knew that I would be leaving here without learning anything about what was actually going on.

I was right.

Chiron made a vague mention about this being "peculiar" but other then that he didn't reveal anything.

"Have you tried getting him into other cabins?" He finally said.

"Well, no. I figured here would be the best place."

"Try to take him to the Hermes cabin. He'll be welcome to stay there until we get this sorted out."

"You're right! Thanks Chiron."

I wrapped my arms around Nico again and started to lead him off.

"And Percy!" Chiron called out suddenly, "make sure you get him some clothes."

My face felt like it would spontaneously combust.

"S-sure Chiron."

I felt Nico bury his face into my shoulder.

Obviously he was embarrassed since he's made it clear that he doesn't like contact with other humans. Or any living creatures for that matter. I think I'm jealous of the ghosts now.

We made it to the Hermes cabin without attracting too much attention but as soon as we got there it was just a repeat of the Big House. Except this time a bunch of angry half bloods came pouring out of the doors.

It might not have been the smartest thing to do but we ran. We ran and caused about half a dozen cabins to start glowing pink as well. When we got to my cabin we quickly ran behind it in a panic. I could hear the other campers yelling at each other. Most yelling at the Hermes cabin for trying to pull another prank. The Hermes cabin yelling at everyone else for trying to out-prank them.

We had to sit there for a while and catch our breath. I felt mostly back to normal when I felt Nico grab my arm suddenly.

"Percy," he said, his eyes wide, "your cabin."

I looked back expecting to see the familiar pink glow and was shocked when I didn't see it.

"It's not glowing," I said.

"Really? I thought it was a turkey sandwich."

"Nico~" I said with a teasing tone. I stood up abruptly and grabbed his hand.

"Percy wai-"

"Shhh!" I called as I snuck us into my cabin and away from the horde of angry campers.

As soon as I got us inside I let go of his hand and went searching for some clothes Nico could fit into. Looking through my clothes I thought, maybe I should take advantage of this situation. I grabbed my favorite blue shirt and an old pair of shorts. He's going to look so cute in my shirt.

I was wrong. He looked adorable, and sexy. The shirt hung off of his thin frame but not so much that he was swimming in it. It had to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

"Percy?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"Do you think Chiron knows why this is happening? Maybe the gods don't want me at camp but Poseidon didn't want to hurt you? What if-"

"Nico! I'm sure that's not the reason. If it were Chiron would have said something. As for him knowing... Yeah, he probably does but he's not going to tell anyone."

"Then why am I only allowed inside the Poseidon cabin?! You'd think your dad would be more than happy to get rid of me."

"Well, you have saved my life a number of times..."

He didn't say anything, he just looked down and blushed. Sometimes I just wished I could tell what he was thinking.

"I'm sorry," I continued, "for putting you in danger all those times and for... For Bianca."

"Percy, I forgave you for Bianca ages ago. And as for putting me in danger... Well... I'd go to Tartarus for you if I had to."

"Nico... Please, don't ever say that again. I don't think I could bear the thought of you... Of you... Please, just do your best to stay here. With me."

Yeah I was going to end it there but I have to write this next scene....

Time skip to Percy's dream

I was walking through this completely blue room, full of candy, trying to decide which one to eat first when all of a sudden, everything turned white.

I was in a white room now. It was just a regular square room with nothing on the walls or floors.

And then I noticed the chairs in the opposite corner.

They were nice leather chairs that just seemed to invite you over. One of them was empty. The other one wasn't.

"Hello son."

"Dad, uh... Not to sound rude or anything but, what are you doing here?"

"Talking to you," he responded cheekily with a grin.

"Ok, I guess this is about the whole Nico-staying-in-your-cabin thing, right?"

"That's right."

"Ok so, can he stay?"

"Well that depends, do you like him?"

I felt myself panic for a second and my dad got an amused look on his face.

"I meant, do you get along with him but judging from your reaction I'll take that as a yes."

"That still didn't answer my question," I said, trying to change the subject.

"Well, you certainly have plenty of extra space even though I'm not very fond of the thought of my brother's spawn in the same room as you. I guess I won't kill him."

I think that meant, yes, he's welcome anytime.

"Ok, um is that all you wanted then?"

"Well, there is one more thing."

"Ok."

"Always use protection."

And my dream faded to black.
