@howlingstcrm — covet starter call
“stop following me,” nico growls, shoving his hands into the pockets of his bomber as he speedwalks through the crowd, trying his damnest to get away from the apparition pretending to be percy jackson. he knows it’s stupid to try to talk sense to him, but being around that... thing... was going to send nico into a panic attack if he stuck around any longer.
percy exhales sharply, expression somewhere between amused and exasperated, shrugging his shoulders with a sickeningly sweet expression. it sends nico’s stomach into uncomfortable loops.
nico rounds the corner and just narrowly avoids slamming into an older man with a stern expression on his face, and he glances between this new stranger and the “gift” that’s been following him around for an hour. “i don’t have a lot of money, but i’ve gotten pretty good at haggling for free mcdonalds-- if i get you a big mac, will you make him go away?” he points at the culprit, percy, who has an innocent expression on his face as he looks for where nico’s gone next. “please.”
