Percico Event

The fanfic I wrote for the @percicoevent. Originally intended to be a drabble, this became a 6.5k fic about Percy and Nico growing, maturing, becoming friends and getting together.

Summary: Piper, Hazel, and Annabeth try to get Percy and Nico together… will they succeed?

Warnings: mostly fluff

A/N: constructive criticism is always welcomed especially since I’m new at writing and would appreciate any pointers you have :)

 “I’m telling you, they’re not gonna get together,” Annabeth said as she crouched behind a bush with Piper and Hazel.

“Not on their own they’re not,” Piper added, standing up.

“We should set them up,” Hazel suggested.

“That would never work.” Piper help out a hand to help Hazel up. “We need to make them think it was their idea.”

“How would we do that?” Annabeth asked.

“Just wait and see,” Piper said mysteriously.

– – meanwhile – –

 Percy and nico were standing around talking, when Hazel came up to them. “Hey, guys,”

“Hey, Hazel,” Percy greeted.

“What’s up?” Nico asked.

“Me and Piper were gonna head down to the lake.” Hazel stated. “Wanna come?”

“Sure. Sounds fun,” Percy agreed.

“Uh, I have something to do today…” Nico wasn’t too keen on the idea of being around people–especially his crush– in a swimsuit.

“Oh, come on,” Percy was doing his signature puppy-dog eyes. “It’ll be fun.”

“Fine,” Nico begrudgingly agreed.

Hazel and Piper decided to go to the beach a little early.

“So, to review, you’re going to suggest that we play would you rather, and then they’ll get together?” Hazel tried to clarified.

“Yes,” Piper nodded. “Why do you look confused?”

“Because that will never work.”

“ PSHH What are you talking about?” Piper scoffed. “It will totally work.”

“What will totally work?” Percy asked as he and Nico walked towards the beach.

“ MeandPiperweretryingtogetyouandNicotogether.” Hazel blurted out.

“What was that?” Percy laughed.

“Excuse me?” Nico blushed deeply.

“Nothing,” Hazel said quickly.

“Really? Because it sounded like you were trying to get me and NIco together.” Percy smirked. “Isn’t that what you heard, Nico?”

Nico nodded, still red as a beet, trying to find a way to leave.

“We would NEVER do that!” Piper exclaimed.

“I… I think you would!” Percy said, trying to speak through his laughs.

“Did… did you guys not know?” Nico asked.

“What are you talking about?” Hazel asked.

“Well. I guess the jig is up.” Percy sighed. “We’ve been dating for about three months.”

“Is this true?!?” Piper exclaimed. “That long!”

“Yeah…” Nico almost whispered. “Three months.”

“Wow. Well then… What do you guys wanna do?” Hazel asked.

“I was gonna head back to my cabin…” Nico trailed off.

“Why?” Hazel asked.

“I have… stuff to do…” Nico lied.

“Yeah. I think I’m gonna head back too. I have archery lessons in a few minutes.” Percy agreed. “Well, we’re gonna go now. See you guys later!”

“Bye!” Hazel waved.

“ See ya later!” Piper smiled. “Well Hazel, I think our job is done.”

“So what movie do you wanna watch?” Percy asked.

Bonus:

Summary: Nico was confused to say the least. Over the course of his life as a halfblood, he developed a crush on Percy Jackson. This is how they got together.

Warnings: angst, let me know if I missed anything

A/N: This is the last project I have for Percico Weekend! Constructive criticism is always welcomed :)

When Nico was at Westover Hall with Bianca, at the school dance, he met Percy. That was his first crush. He was really confused at first. He thought that Percy was cool. But it was more than that. He wanted to get to know him more. He tried to talk to him, but the girls that saved them from that… thing… told him to talk to Grover instead. When he arrived at camp, he was really excited. He was eager to learn to sword fight. He was also glad that he might get to be around Percy more…

But then Banca went away. Percy had promised to keep her safe. But when they came back from their quest, Percy told him that Bianca had died, Nico wanted to be angry –and part of him was– but he didn’t understand why he wasn’t at the same time. So, he ran away.

__ __ __ __

When Nico ran away, he was sad, angry, and most of all confused. He thought he wanted revenge, he thought it would make him hurt less. By now, he understood that he had feelings for Percy, but he didn’t like them. So he suppressed them instead. And, after a while, he thought that they were gone.

__ __ __ __

Nico was settled. He had found Hazel and Camp Jupiter. He wasn’t settled at camp, but he was glad he had found Hazel. His feelings for Percy had resurfaced. He tried to ignore them, but he couldn’t. He didn’t plan on doing anything about it, but then Percy showed up and ruined everything.

__ __ __ __

Nico was back at camp. Things had quieted down after the War with Gaia. There hadn’t been many quests. Nico had to admit, it was nice (that definitely wasn’t because he and Percy had started hanging out more). It was a beautiful summer day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, Annabeth was totally checking Piper out. So, Percy and Nico were hanging out at the lake, when Percy told Nico to follow him. They walked along the beach, when Percy stopped.

“What are you doing..?” Nico asked. Then, Percy got down on one knee, and took out a Ring Pop.

“Nico di Angelo,” Percy said, almost falling over. “Will you be my boyfriend?”

“Um… What?” Nico asked, dumbfounded. “I-I think I’m gonna go.”

“Nico, wait!” Percy called after him. “Come back!”

“What?” Nico asked, a tear falling down his cheek. He was sick of being tricked. Percy could never love him back. He knew that.

“What the hell was that?” Percy asked, irritated. “Why did you run off like that?”

“I’m sick of being played with, Percy.” Nico replied, attempting to turn away but failing because Percy had a tight grip on his shoulders.

“Nico…” Percy said, slightly hurt. “I would never… why would you…”

“Because you know I love you!” Nico screamed, finally pulling away and running towards his cabin.

Once Percy came to his senses, he ran after Nico. When he caught up to him, Nico was full on crying. All those years of suppressing his emotions, and Percy had the nerve to get his hopes up.

“Nico, I really do like you. I would never, ever do that to you,” he was now holding Nico’s hand, “So, Nico, will you be my boyfriend?”

“I’m sorry, Percy,“ Nico said. “I don’t deserve you.”

"Don’t say that, Nico” Percy told him as he pulled him into a hug.

__ __ __ __

A year later, Nico and Percy sat on the beach holding hands. “Do you remember when we first got together?” Percy chuckled.

“Yeah…” Nico looked down.

“You were so upset.” Percy said. “Why was that?

“Well… I guess I just couldn’t handle the fact that you liked me back.” Nico explained.

“You know I’ll always love you, right?” Percy said, leaning his head on Nico’s shoulder.

“Yeah,” Nico answered. “And I’ll always love you.”

Summary: Mrs. Jackson takes Nico and Percy to Montauk for vacation, when Nico discovers something surprising about his boyfriend.

Warnings: a little bit of angst, but mostly fluff, maybe a few typos here and there

A/N: this one was pretty fun to write, and I wanna know what you guys think! As always, constructive criticism is welcomed :)  

Nico and Percy were in a very awkward situation. They were both jammed in the back of Mrs. Jackson’s car, on their way to Montauk. Mrs. Jackson was telling very embarrassing stories of when Percy was a baby. “Mom, Nico doesn’t need to know that!” Percy protested.

“But you were adorable!” Sally defended while Nico continued laughing next to Percy.

“Actually, I think that they’re pretty funny,” Nico chuckled.

“Are we almost there yet?” Percy asked to try and change the subject.

“We’re about a mile away actually!” Sally said.

When they got to the beach, NIco and Percy started unpacking in their room. “So what do you want to do?” Percy asked.

“Um I don’t know. Do you wanna go swimming?” Nico replied.

“Sure. Why not” Percy agreed.

__ __ __ __

Right after Percy and Nico were dressed, they heard thunder. “Are you sure that we should go swimming?” Percy asked hesitantly.

“We’ll be fine.” Nico assured him.

“Whatever you say, Neeks.” Percy chuckled. They walked over to the beach, and into the water. A few minutes later, it started to thunder and lightning again.

“ You’re absolutely sure that we won’t get electrocuted?”

“Relax. We’ll be fine!” Nico reassured him.

 CRACK!

Another bolt of lightning struck. “On second thought we might wanna get out…” Nico agreed. They quickly got out and dried off back in their cabin room. “So what do you want to do instead?” Nico asked.

“We could watch a movie.” Percy suggested.

“Sounds good.” Nico agreed. “What movie?”

“I don’t really care.” Percy said. Just then, another crack hit outside. Then, Nico heard something that really surprised him. Percy- Percy Jackson, the man that had killed a titan lord, and saved the world multiple times- screamed. Not like a, small, startled scream, a blood curdling scream.

“Um, are you okay?” Nico asked his boyfriend, who had a deep red blush on his face.

“Uh, yeah. Fine” Percy said.

“Are you sure?” Nico asked, stepping closer. “Because you didn’t sound alright, Perce.”

“I’m fine.” Percy assured him.

“Percy, you know you can tell me anything, right?” Nico said, stepping closer still, until he was face to face with Percy. “Percy, what’s wrong?”

“It’s just…  I don’t know” Percy sighed. “Ever since I was claimed by my dad, Zeus has been out to get me. Every time I fly, every time I’m in the sky, I almost die.”

“So? You were in the water, you can’t get hurt, especially by Zeus’s lightning.” Nico reminded him. “So, what’s the matter?”

“I- I’m afraid of thunderstorms.” Percy admitted. “Go on, laugh.”

“Percy, I’m not gonna laugh at you.” Nico said, pulling Percy into a hug. “It’s okay. It’s a perfectly rational fear, especially for you.”

“Thanks,” Percy said, resting his head on Nico’s shoulder. “I love you, Neeks.”

“I love you, too Perce.” Nico said, pulling away a bit to kiss Percy’s cheek. “What do you say we watch that movie, huh?”

“Okay.” Percy said walking behind Nico over to the bed. “Hey, can we watch Tinkerbell?”

“Uh… sure?” Nico said hesitantly. “Are you sure that’s what you wanna watch?”

“No, I’m just kidding. Let’s binge The Flash.”

Nico chuckled. “That sounds like a better idea.”
