A/N Soooooo, how have you guys been? I have an urge to write so this chapter might be long. :D

I like cookies, I just had, like, 10. Oops.

Jason's POV

"JASON!" I jumped and turned around, seeing Percy run up to me.

"Hey man, don't run on a train! Anyway, what's up?" I asked.

"Okay, so youknowhowNico'sbeenavoidingmeandstuff?Wellineedtoknowwhyandhetoldmetoaskyou."

I made the most restarted face as I stared at him. "What, the fuck."

Percy sighed.

"Why has Nico been avoiding me?"

I stiffened, glancing back at the son of Hades blushing two seats away.

He just nodded.

"Uh, well, Nico is," I looked over at Frank and Leo. Slowly I stood up so we could go somewhere private.

"Nico's gay."

Percy stared at me. "Uh-huh. And how does that relate to him avoiding me?"

I rolled my eyes. "Jesus, Perce! How can you be so blind? Nico loves you."

Percy's eyes widened and his mouth dropped. "Wh-what?"

"You heard me." I walked away to sit with Frank and Leo again.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Percy's POV

I was extremely shocked.

Nico loves me? Me? ME?

I tried to convince myself Jason was lying but it didn't work. The weirdest thing was, I felt an odd sensation like butterflies in my stomach. Like my subconscious was really, really, happy that he liked me back.

Wait, back?

I don't love Nico. I'm not gay. I love Annabeth. Not Nico, Annabeth. And even though I told myself this I realized Nico was always the one flooding my thoughts, his beautiful brown eyes and chocolatey black hair that tinted brown in the sunlight.

I shook my head.

You have Annabeth.

I walked down the train isle back to where Nico sat, curled in on himself, shivering.

"Hey Nico, you okay?"

He peeked a single chocolate eye over his sleeve, to peer through his bangs at me. "You don't hate me?"

I sat next to him then took his hood off his head. He shivered and looked up. "I could never hate you. Why would I?"

Nico laughed without humor. "You wouldn't be a first."

I placed my hand on his cheek and forced him to look at me, "Nico DiAngelo, no matter what, I will always be here, and I will never, ever, hate you."

He smiled a bit, and sat back. I looked out the window.

Outside it was pitch black. The middle of the night. I closed my eyes and submitted myself to the power of fatigue.

YES, PUMPKIN WAFFLES (ima call u guys that) IT ENDS HERE! not the story of course, just the chapter.

For now, I love all 12 of you ❤️

I hope I entertained you guys :3
