As soon as Nico had collapsed in Percy's arms, Hades had changed into a mortal form. He became smaller and was instantly at his son's side. "Hey." Percy greeted awkwardly, cradling Nico's body as he waited for whatever skeleton medics they had down in the Underworld.

"You're dating my son. Or rather, doing sexual favors would be the right word. Seeing that his public boyfriend had just proposed to him." Hades uttered towards Percy. Percy felt himself blush, and a tinge of jealousy and hurt in his gut, but nodded at Hades. "Yeah." He answered lamely, not knowing how to respond accordingly.

Hades smiled softly, but made no comment at his nephew's red face. "Nico should be waking up soon. You can talk to him then, but be warned, I have my subjects making sure you and my son don't. . . try anything." If possible, Percy's face turned even redder.

"Of course." Percy replied. Waking into the room slowly. Taking in the sight of the son of Hades.

A thin blanket was draped over him. His shirt had been removed, exposing scars from his monster fighting lifestyle. His chest rising up and down as he breathed evenly. His heart, thankfully, beating in a simple repeated pattern.

"Hey Neeks." Percy sighed, smiling softly.

Nico made no noise, his breathing echoing in Percy's mind.

Nico's hair staying in his face, covering one of his closed eyes. His thin lips dry and parted slightly.

Percy pet his hair silently, slowly messing it up gently. Trying his best to avoid Nico waking up.

"You like my son a lot. Don't you?" Hades noted to himself, standing in the door way. Percy looked back at him, unsurprised. "Yeah. I really do." He told Hades, his eyes immediately going back to Nico's face.

His whole face at ease.

"He's so peaceful." Percy whispered, Hades just looking at his sleeping son and his nephew.
