Nico's POV

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck.

I squirmed restlessly next to Percy on the train.

"Hey man," The son of Poseidon turned to me, "are you alright?" Concern showed in his sea-green eyes.

I looked away.

"I'm fine, Jackson. Let me be." I muttered, hearing him sigh next to me.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Nico? Do you like the color blue?"

I turned to look at Percy, an incredulous expression on my face.

"What?"

Percy rolled his eyes. "I just wanted to start a conversation."

"That's a horrible conversation starter." I commented.

"No it isn't."

"Of course it is. If you want to hold a conversation, make the starter interesting."

"Well I think mine was fine, seeing as we're conversing."

~~~~~~~~~~

I was slumped in my seat, my legs asleep from the two hours we had been on the train so far. My hood was pulled low over my face.

"Nico?" Something poked me in the side.

I yelped and sat up, realizing Percy had poked me with his index finger. "What the hell, Percy? Can't you just leave me alone?"

"I'm bored. We've been on this train for hours and we've barely talked or done anything! I get that you hate me, but come on. It's just a few more hours."

He thinks I hate him? I guess Percy really is a seaweed brain.

I looked right into Percy's oceanic eyes. "I don't hate you." I said.

"Then why are you always ignoring me, and not letting me come near you? Is something wrong?"

I looked away again, a blush tinting my annoyingly pale cheeks.

"No, I'm perfectly fine. I'm avoiding you because, because," I took a breath, "ask Jason."

I couldn't do it. Of course you can't tell him, Nico you idiot. He'd hate you.

"What? Jason knows?"

I nodded.

Hurriedly Percy jumped up and scurried over to Jason Grace.

I watched from my seat, drowning in embarrassment. It's not the same if I'm not the one to tell him, I'll just let Grace do the work.
