"What the hell was that?" Nico whispered yelled -almost not- remembering they were in a library. His face was red from anger and embarrassment.

Percy floundered for words. One: this had never happened before. Not the randomly kissing someone, that had happened many times. The fact that Nico was glaring at him, fire burning in his eyes was new. Usually their knees would wobbling? Yeah that happened, not this demonic glare.

Nico was advancing slowly, practically growling at Percy. Percy was backing up slowly, till his back hit a book shelf. When Nico and Percy where chest to chest, Nico whispered menacingly. "Explain." he demanded.

Fearing for an important part of his reproduction utensils, Percy quickly put together a shitty reply.

"I-You, I thought, you-tongue piercing, I guess your not-sorry." The glare vanished for a moment, taken over by a mask of confusion.

"...what?" He said blankly.

"I thought you were gay and you had a tongue piercing and I've never kissed someone with one so I thought if I kissed you I could and I did but I didn't get to feel it -which sucks ass- Because you pulled away and now your angry and you're not gay so...friends?" Percy asked meekly.

This time, Nico floundered. Finally, he huffed frustratingly, and pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes.

"I am gay, thank you very much. Just not for you. And, lemme' make sure I have this straight, you wanted to kiss me, because you have a fetish for piercings?" Nico asked slowly, never opening his eyes.

"...yeah. Pretty much."

Nico sighed, and turned away. "Class dismissed for today. Text me your address and a time for me to come over so we can work on the weekend. Don't forget." Nico demanded.

"Wait, where you going?" Percy asked, confused, running to catch up to Nico.

"Ditching. Should be somewhere in your vocabulary. Maybe somewhere in the favorites, next to sex, dicks, and piercings." Nico muttered, pulling out his phone. "Valdez. Come get me. Now." Nico demanded before Leo even got to finish his greeting of, "Hey Ghost King" he hung up before the older boy could get another word.

Nico stood on the sidewalk, trying to shout Percy away. But the big idiot wouldn't budge.

Finally, a red truck came into view. Nico sighed in relief. When it pulled up, Leo popped the passenger door open from the inside. "C'MON DEATH BREATH I GOT A DATE!" Leo shouted over the roar of music.

Percy winced at the volume, but Nico didn't even seem to notice it as he got in. "A DATE? YOU CAN'T GET A PUPPY TO KISS YOU IF YOU PUT PEANUT BUTTER ON YOUR LIPS!" Nico shouted back.

"I JUST GOT A FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE! TRUST ME ON THIS! HER NAMES CALYPSO!"

"LIKE THE GIRL FROM THE GREEK MYTHS?"

Percy watched in astonishment as the red pickup truck drove off, the two passengers shouting at each other over it rather then turn down the music.

~~~

Nico and Leo walked into their small shared apartment. Leo plopped down on his bed and Nico followed soon. "So, why you ditching school? Who was that guy next to you? Isn't he the one who you sent in for glasses a week ago? Does it involve him? I love the outfit. Remind me to thank Alice. Can I borrow it for my date?" Leo rapidly fired questions at Nico.

"Sure, take it and once you're done, burn it." Nico said as he changed out of the outfit and put on some sweats and a T-shirt.

"Sweet! Now, what happened?" Nico sighed, ducking his head down and explaining.

When he was done, Leo was jumping around, a shit-eating grin on his face. "duuuuuuuuddddddddeeeee you have to let me help you and you have to do everything I say"

"Why?"

"You wanna' drive him crazy, like he does to you, right?" Nico spluttered in offense. Then Nico just sighed. Leo would either keep pestering him or would black mail him into doing it. He decided to go the easy way this time.

"Okay Valdez. What ya got?" Leo jumped up and down like a little kid.

"Nico, these are, Leo's steps to driving Percy crazy." Leo said dramatically.

~~~

Nico recited the steps in his mind. He had fought long and stubbornly, but eventually Leo won out. And so, Nico was following Leo's stupid steps. He was once again dressed in the gaudy outfit, which he despised with all of his being.

As he passed Percy in the hall and gave the boy a flirty wink, before strutting away and completely ignoring Percy who tried to get him to come back, he wondered why he was doing this.

Oh yeah. Leo is an annoying little shit.

~~~

Percy walked down the hall, and spotted Nico. He was surprised to see the boy in that gaudy outfit again but who was he to complain?

But when the younger boy winked at him flirtatiously, Percy froze in confusion. He then tried to call the younger boy back, but Nico ignored him. That made Percy question whether Nico was even winking at him. But...no...They had eye contact, so must've been meant for Percy.

~~~

The next step Nico was not looking forward to. But, it wasn't even the worst one on the list. One of the last ones Nico was dreading the most. He wondered if he would even get out alive. Focus on what you have to do now, Nico, we'll get over that hill when the time comes. Nico thought as he went to class, ignoring the stares.

~~~

When lunch finally rolled around, Nico gathered his courage, and complete hate for Leo and walked up to Percy, who was -thankfully, but oddly- sitting alone in a back corner.

Nico plopped himself in Percy's lap and ate an apple, acting as though he wasn't sitting on a male. The player of the school, no less.

Nico had eaten half of his apple by the time Percy did anything. Nico felt hands touch his sides, moving forward, going to wrap around him and hold him in place. As soon as he felt the hands, he got up, and strut off, yet again ignoring the poor boy he was slowly torturing.

~~~

Percy sat in a back table during lunch so he could think. He was lost in thought, when he felt a weight on his lap come crashing down, only to find Nico.

Sitting in his lap.

Eating an apple.

On his lap.

I repeat, I repeat. Nico was sitting on his lap, eating an apple.

What the hell was going on?

When Percy finally came more or less to his senses, he rushed to put his hands around Nico's waist, to hold him in place. But as soon as Percy touched him, Nico hopped off and walked away, frustrating the confused boy.

~~~

Nico leaned against the wall next to Percy as the latter got books out of it. "Nico! What the hell was tha-"

"Nice pants" Nico said idly, "but they would look better on my bedroom floor. Not yours, they would just blend with all the other clothes because you can't bother to clean up after yourself." Nico strutted away yet again from a stunned Percy.

~~~

Percy was so confused...what the hell was with Nico today? He wasn't sure he liked it...for the most part. However, he couldn't say it didn't have its perks.

~~~

Nico wasn't sure if he was going to make it out alive this time.

Stupid, annoying, persistent Latino Christmas elves. Nico thought moodily as he hunted out the punk.

~~~

Percy yelped in shock as he was pulled into a janitor's closet. The light was off, so he couldn't see anything. When he felt a hot breath on his lips, he got scared.

"W-who's there?" he breathed out.

"Guess." the other whispered back. Right as Percy worked out the accent, and his eyes doubled in size, he felt the others lips on his own.

Percy reacted instantly, kissing back. Nico tasted like vanilla and...Was that coke-a-cola? Or maybe Pepsi...focus Jackson! He shouted at himself. He moaned lightly when Nico let him in. Right when he had hardly brushed against the tongue piercing, Nico pulled away violently, making the hands Percy wrapped around his waist fall from his body. Nico walked out, leaving Percy panting, leaning against the wall with a hand on his lips.

Damn it! He needed more!

~~~

Finally, the last step, Nico thought as he strutted through the halls. He saw Percy and looked away right before Percy saw Nico had been looking. Nico strutted out, ignoring everyone and everything as he got into Leo's hot, waiting car on the curb.

"Well? How did it go?" Leo asked excitedly.

"I...I think it worked." Nico smirked slyly.

~~~

By the way, why Nico was so....real Nico this chapter, at least at the beginning, as because he was mad Percy kissed him. Nico acts more like rick's Nico when he gets mad. and because of leo's steps. but other wise is my Nico.
