Percy "My feelings don't matter so why voice them" Jackson and Nico "I'd rather die than be vulnerable and rejected" di Angelo falling in love is easily the best tragicomedy of miscommunication and angst I can think of, because neither of them will take the first step, and are convinced the other can't reciprocate.
But also them confessing not because they can't hold it in anymore, but because the other needs to know they are loved and cherished, because Percy's feelings don't matter, but Nico's are so important, and Nico doesn't care about rejection as long as Percy gets to finally feel good about himself.
