《 Ship 》 》 Percico

Percy noticed Nico was sleeping in later than usual, so he walked down to Cabin 13 to make sure he was okay, and hadn't went to the underworld and freaked Percy out by disappearing again.

He knocked once, the twice, then four times. "Nico?" he opened the door with knit eyebrows. There, huddled up in blankets, shaking with a red nose, was the love of his life, Nico di Angelo.

Percy stepped nearer until he sat gently on Deathbreath's bed. He put the back of his hand on Nico's forehead. Nico's eyes shot open and he swatted Percy away.

"Quit it!" Nico demanded.

"You're sick." Percy stated.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Shut up! No, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!"

"N-"

"I'm not listening! La la la!" Percy cupped his ears and stuck his tongue at Nico.

Nico crinkled his nose slightly and glared, saying nothing more. Percy let his hands fall and retracted his tongue.

"I'll go get you some medicine." Percy stated.

"No, you won't."

"Nico, you're sick! Someone has to take care of you!"

"Then go get me some pizza!"

"No way! Any pizza I get is for myself."

"I hate you."

"Love you too, Neeks," Percy smiled. "Get some rest, I'll go get medi- something else."

"I know what you're going to get, Percy."

"N-no! I said 'something', that doesn't tell you anything!"

Nico sighed. "You idiot."

"I'm your idiot." Percy corrects.

"Yeah, yeah."

Percy smiled and kissed Nico's head. Nico felt butterflies in his stomach--or was that the nausea? He closed his eyes, placing his palm under his head on the pillow.

"Adorable." Percy squealed quietly. Nico heard, but pretended not to've. Percy stood and left the room, probably to go get medicine.

Nico smiled to himself, "Adorable."
