I want a fic where Percy is completely gone for Nico.
I want him staring at Nico across the campfire, watching the way the flames throw shadows across his face like the world itself can’t decide how to hold him. I want sparring sessions that turn into Percy letting Nico in closer than he ever should—close enough to catch the faint scent of his shampoo, to feel the heat of him even through armor.
I want them on opposite teams during capture the flag, and Percy growling at his own teammates to leave Nico for him. The idea of anyone else tackling Nico—touching him, hurting him even a little—sets something wild off in him. He knows Nico’s strong enough to win against anyone, but that’s not the point. The point is Percy wants to be the one who gets close.
I want Percy doing anything just to make Nico proud of him. Running himself ragged just to earn a quiet, “Nice work,” like it’s a divine blessing. I want him at home during visits with his mom, secretly deep-diving into Mythomagic forums, memorizing trivia so he has something—anything—to talk to Nico about when he’s back at camp.
And when they finally get together, I want Percy to worship him. Years later, I want him still looking at Nico like he hung the constellations himself. Still desperate for every small touch, every glance. Because even after everything, Percy Jackson loves Nico di Angelo like it’s the first and only thing he’s ever been good at.
Drawing made out of spite against a persistent annoying Instagram user 🫠
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.
Nico, whenever Percy gets into trouble:

Archeologist Nico and his team are being haunted by ghosts who are after more than they realise
Imo Nico saying "You're not my type," and skipping away to see Will was Nico trying to preserve some of his pride/dignity.
I mean, his actions throughout PJO & HoO are literally love confessions. He chooses Percy, turning his back on Hades, and only goes back to Hades on Percy's request. Nico sends his friend to help Percy in hell (literally more than anyone else did to help Percy). He sticks with the Argo II crew despite literally all of them besides Hazel being extremely rude/unsettled by him for Percy.
So it's like. Nico has laid his heart bare for Percy? But Percy is in a relationship with someone else and Nico doesn't really know what Percy thinks about him - other than being convinced that Percy doesn't love him. So he's pulling himself together and trying to show that no, he's not hung up on Percy. He's not pining. He's not crying over the one sided love, and feelings of rejection. And by playing his feelings as less serious than they actually are, he's enabling himself to continue to have a friendship with Percy - since by playing off his affections as a crush rather than painfully in love - it's less awkward that Percy don't return his feelings. So they can move on and resume their friendship. That's imo anyway. It was self preservation. @hermesmyplatonicbeloved
Oh, totally!
Sorry for responding until now, but I haven't been able to be very active on my networks lately :)
But bringing up this topic, if I had been in Nico's position, I think I would have done something very similar, if not the same. Imagine this situation: Having to be Perc#beth's spectator. That not only did they practically all their missions together, but important gods, such as Aphrodite and practically the ENTIRE fucking camp, did everything possible for Perc#beth to finally come together. And seeing firsthand how Percy practically gave his all to the people he cared about (Nico never really realized how important he was to Percy, since haha I think it's obvious to anyone in love and hurt), and Annabeth being territorial with Percy just gave Nico the idea that the two of them just can't be, it doesn't work, it's impossible. His low self-esteem in conjunction with the pain of losing his loved ones, his loneliness and all the pain he had to go through to protect Percy was enough for him to not only start wanting to lie to himself and others in order to get some relief to his pain. And besides, he was so used to people pushing him away, that the first guy who practically forces him to be by his side is obviously the person Nico is going to cling to, to say "I'm getting over it" when in reality he's not.
So. Nico gave too much, and wanting to feel better about everything he had done, he "he confess no confess." I'm a witness that not telling your feelings to a person can cause you a lot of problems, since there was never really closure. Your mind is always thinking about 'what if', even if you don't want it to.
So the best way for Nico, and I think for any sane person in his situation, to not generate even more pain than one already has and not put oneself in a compromising situation is to confess not confess: Totally minimize your feelings, saying that they are from the past and something temporary (giving the other person to understand that you became interested but you don't have any problem now, that the unilateral nature of the situation doesn't bother you at all.)(HAHAHA its funny because it actually does). And even more so being in Nico's situation, that practically seconds before confessing, Percy boasted about his future with Annabeth. That was the final blow. It's a total NO to Nico, and like a normal person, he saved what little dignity he had left (you know, the whole situation with Cupid and what follows) and left with the only person who was behind him (because obviously Nico would be tired of just chasing, it's normal to want to be chased, but that's not a confirmation of romantic feelings, it's just a need, and more of a lonely and 'needed of love' person). So, I totally agree.
