~~~~* Nico's POV. *~~~~
There was once a boy who went by the name Nico Di Angelo. This boy had shaggy black hair and olive skin that went with his dark colored eyes, his main type of clothing was black t-shirts and black skinny jeans, which had a small, silver chain bet attached to it. He was mainly recognized by his aviator jacket that he wore all the time.
At this moment Nico was only standing a few feet back from his crush of, well, a very long time. He was watching from afar the perfect couple, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. No, Annabeth wasn't the one Nico liked... It was Percy. Nico would give anything to be able to run his fingers through his jet black hair, staring right into those beautiful sea-green eyes. This boy was very fit, muscular and lean.
Nico watched as the love of his life take the girl's hand. His girlfriend. The girl beside of Percy had curly, golden blonde hair. She was tall and very fit, as well as athletic. Some describe her eyes to be an intense shade of gray, always with the look as if she was thinking of a million things all at once. She had the look of a typical California girl, just with a natural tan.
Nico resented this girl. Why? She had the boy of his dreams! He was suppose to be the one that Percy was holding, not her!
The boy kept thinking negatively of the girl until his thoughts were disrupted by his best friend, Jason Grace. Jason was a blonde himself, who had electric blue eyes. Out of most people Nico knew, Jason's hair was very tidy. He did have a scar at the corner of his lip, from where he had tried eating a stapler when he had been younger. He mainly wore any kind of purple t-shirt and blue jeans, because purple and blue were his favorite colors. He was athletically built, with muscular, tanned arms.
If someone was to look at the two boys, they would notice Jason was the taller of the two and that they were complete opposites.
"I see you are watching those two again, hm?" Nico snorted at the other boy, "No." Jason smiled and ruffles his hair, "Suuuure you weren't. You were so checking out that Percy booty!" Nico blushed and retorted back, "Shut your trap, Superman." Jason sat him and Nico down and just watched the 'perfect couple' walk along.
After the two boys sat in silence for a few moments, Nico couldn't help the worlds that soon came out of his mouth, "I wish he was my boyfriend..." Jason sighed and crossed his arms, as if he was thinking. He hated seeing any of his friends like this, especially Nico, since he considered the younger male his brother. As he re-looked over at the 'perfect couple' he noticed that Percy had been looking over at the two of them. Jason thought it was for the best that Percy spoke to Nico, so he motioned the other boy over.
Percy came over, Annabeth following right behind him. 'Ugh... why her?' Nico couldn't help but try to walk away, but, Percy noticed his attempt and grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him back. "Nico, why do you walk off each time I come around? Have I done something that a don't know about?" A growl escaped from Nico's lisp, "Let go of me!" He pulled away from the other boy and ran off, Jason shaking his head, "Poor Nico..."
Soon the bell had rung signaling that it was lunch time. Nico went through the lunch line like he does everyday, grabbing his tray and sitting outside, away from everything and everyone. "Hey, Nico." He turned around and was face to face with a certain sea-green eyed boy. "Percy, what do you want?" Percy just smiled slightly at him, "I see you always alone and I hate seeing that. Let me just sit with you." Nico growled, now wasn't really the time to sit with him, but, he had given into the pleading face of his adorable prince.
The two boys sat there eating in silence, until Jason had appeared. "Hey you two! Getting along?" He nudged Nico playfully as he sent a death glare to Jason. "Jason..." Jason backed off and laughed nervously, "Please don't hurt me, Di Angelo." Nico gave out a sigh and got up, about to leave. Once he begun to walk away he felt someone grab ahold of his wrist. "Nico... Please don't leave?" He looked at Percy and shook his head, running off from the one he loved.

Percy had no idea how much it hurt Nico to be near him, especially when he was around Annabeth. "Jason... why does Nico hate me so much?" The blonde flinched slightly, "It's... It's not my place to tell you, but, I will let you know this much; he doesn't hate you." Jason ran off, leaving Percy to just stand there, being confused.
"Hey Seaweed Brain!" The sound of his girlfriend's cheerful voice had brought him back into reality, he smiled widely at her, "Hey Wise Girl." Annabeth giggled and begun playing with the boy's hair. "You looked like you were lost in thought... What was it about?" Percy sighed, "Just... It's Nico. Whenever I'm near or both of us are near, he doesn't want to be around. It's like he hates me!" The blonde girl just sighed, "Just try getting him alone, corner him and get your point across to him about how you feel. Now, I've gotta go meet Piper. I'll see you later! Good luck with Nico!" With that, she kissed the boy's cheek and ran off.
When the bell rung to signal that it was time for lunch to end and to go on to the last class for the day. He took the tray of food he hadn't ate and threw it away. He had Nico in his last class, to he would corner him then. He walked as fast as he could to class and took the seat closest to Nico that wasn't taken. He watched as Nico walked in the classroom, taking the seat two in front of him.

Nico could feel the stares. He looked behind him once during the teachers lecture and saw Percy sitting there, staring at him like he was going to pounce him. He shakes his head and gets rid of the thought and turns around, going back to taking notes, but his mind has other things in mind. During the class period, he let his fantasies of him and Percy that he hadn't realized that the bell rung. Nico had a whole weekend at him all to himself. Like every other weekend.
He begun to put his stuff into his bag when Percy had walked up to him. "Hey Nico. I've decided that I'm going to throw a party this weekend, want to come?" Deep down Nico wanted to go but he knew if he went, something would happen and he'd end up admitting his feelings. Percy noticed Nico's hesitation and frowned, "If you come to this party, I promise I will make sure no one will make you do something that you aren't wanting to do." Nico just stood there, then nodded. "Fine Percy, I'll go to your stupid party."

Percy couldn't stop himself from smiling. He walked off, feeling proud of himself for having finally gotten Nico to speak to him and get him to come over to his house!! 'Maybe I can finally build a friendship with him!'
