Hi guys! I've started a new story, called a Thief and a Prince (inspired by Aladdin), so if you like this story then go check that one out. It was going to be a one-shot but now it's not. If you were wondering why it's 'Inspired by Aladdin' That's because a few weeks ago I went to see the broadway musical hit, Aladdin, and I just thought of Nico and Percy. Also, I'll probably update about once a fortnight on each story now. One week I'll update this story and one week I'll update the other one.

Enjoy the chapter! Sorry I'm late I had a Humanities Assignment. Humanities is history, economics and geography incase you didn't know (this assignment was geography)but I've handed it in now.

Nico's POV

"Jason!" I shouted at him through the phone

"Ouch, Nico, that's no way to greet your one and only friend," He whined

"Well keeping secrets from friends isn't nice either!" I yelled back

"Look, did Percy tell you about it? Because you know we can't tell him about that Nico. It's against the rules!" He replied, obviously frustrated.

"What? No. What are you talking about? I mean the secret you've been keeping from me. Why didn't you tell me Percy's one of us? And why doesn't he know it?" I said, getting more annoyed

"Woah, woah, slow down, I have no idea what you're talking about, Percy's what now?" He questioned.

"Wait, you have no idea whatsoever?"

"Yes!"

"Swear it on the river Styx."

"I swear on the river Styx I have no idea what the hell you're talking about,"

I sighed.

"Do you want the whole story?"

"Of course!"

"It started when I came home from school, and decided to go to a night club,"

"No! Not the story of your whole life, just when you found out the thing about Percy!"

"I was starting from the start! That's when I first saw Percy last night,"

"Okay, okay, calm down, just tell me the part where you found out about whatever you're trying to tell me,"

"Fine! We were at my house, and Percy had a Hangover, so I made him tea-"

"Woah, back up. What do you mean. Hangover? At your house? Tea?"

" See? This is why I was going to start from the club,"

"Yes, yes, just...he had a hangover?"

"YES! He had a hangover, alright. Why on earth is that so important?"

"He never drinks,"

"So I've seen. He really can't hold his alcohol," I replied

"Anyway, I had given him tea, and he started to tell me about these strange things that have been happening to him,"

"Strange, as in..."

"Strange, as in when he's mad, toilets around him explode with water, and he's noticed that he swims fast. Like very fast."

" Well that could be just a coincidence. He has been training really hard lately."

"He sounded really worried..."

"Okay, so maybe that is a bit weird, but do you really think he's one of us?"

"Yes, I do! Have you ever met both of his parents?"

"Of course! I met Sally, before she... and I met Chiron after he adopted...oh. Chiron. I've never met his real dad. Chiron is as much of a dad as any dad could be to Percy, but by blood, he's not Percy's dad."

"See! And it makes so much sense that Poseidon is his dad, they even look the same."

"...yeah, actually, now that you mention it, I can't believe I didn't see that before. But didn't the Poseidon take an oath against having kids with ordinary humans?"

"Dude...my dad and your dad also took that oath you realise. And we're both here."

"I know, I know, but I always thought Poseidon would be the only one to keep that oath. He seems so trustworthy."

"Well apparently not," I said

"How the hell did you never not even once, hear Percy say his fathers name?"

"He...avoids the topic. Anytime I try asking him, he claims Chiron is the only real father he's ever had. In his mind, his father doesn't even exist. I think he still blames him for...what happened with his mum,"

" I'm not even going to ask, as you won't give me anything," I replied, trying my best to sound indifferent, when really, I was bursting with the curiosity to know.

What had happened to him?

I almost dropped the phone when I first picked it up.

Since when did Nico get such a loud voice?

Apparently about the same time he grew a bad attitude.

Still, I listened to what he had to say, almost dropping the phone again, when he told me his theory.

It made some sort of sense.

And Percy was 16 now, had recently turned 16 actually.

"Nico? You still there?" I asked

"Yeah." He replied from the other side of the phone

"How can Percy not know he has mutant genes?" I asked Nico

"No one's ever told him I guess. We were brought up knowing, were brought up with our 'godly' parents raising us, since both of our mums died when we were really young,"

"It's really weird, knowing he's one of us, and has been all this time,"

"When are you going to tell him?" Nico asked me

"What do you mean, me? We. We are going to tell him. Don't put it all on me, you were the one who found out about it.

"Yeah, but...you've known him way longer than me, I don't think he'll want me there when he finds out what he is,"

"We are doing this together," I insisted

"Whatever, I've got to go now."

"Fine, bye." I sighed, and hung up.

Sometimes I just wanted someone who called to ask about me, not discuss other people's problems.

I was so tired of being the wall people constantly leaned on.

If you lean on walls too much, they crumble.

Tonight, I needed to do something for me.

Reyna said she was going to this restaurant tonight.

Maybe I could surprise her...

Reyna's POV

I couldn't go out with Jason.

I was sick of waiting around for him to get the guts to ask me out.

Even if he wanted me, I couldn't do it, not anymore.

I couldn't break Leo's heart.

Me and Leo, we came together because of Jason.

We seemed like a very unlikely pair.

The hyperactive kid-like yet fiery attitude with a personality like mine?

No way.

We even used to hate each other, used to see the other as competition.

But Jason, he wanted his friends to get along, and both me and Leo couldn't deny him anything, so we tried to act like we were friends.

Until it turned into the real thing.

Since then, we were inseparable.

Together we talked about how adorable and dorky Jason was, how cute he looked with his glasses.

Eventually it became something more.

And, shyly, he asked me out.

I was so surprised.

We had never even came across that topic before.

But I found I couldn't say no.

I didn't realise it, but I had grown very attached to him.

More than a friend should.

So here I was.

I had no idea what to wear, because I owned nothing dressy. Not a singly dress, skirt, anything pretty.

There was only one thing I could do.

Please pick up, please pick up I thought as the sound of a phone ringing echoed throughout the large bedroom.

"Hello?"

"Piper, thank goodness you picked up," I sighed with relief

"So. Listen, Piper. I've got an emergency. I have a date-"

I was cut off by her squeals.

"-and I don't know what to wear. Can you-Piper? Hello?"

She had hung up.

"Phew," I sighed again.

She will be here in a bit.

Surely enough, only minutes later did she arrive with almost a whole wardrobe for me to try on.

"So. Did Jason finally grow the balls to ask you out?" She said, excited.

My smile dropped, and I desperately strained my mouth muscles to pull my lips back upwards.

"No, actually. Leo did."

"Oh." She said, her smile dropping a bit too.

Of course. Of course she would want her best friend that's a boy to be together with her best friend that's a girl.

"That's um, unexpected, but great, so um, what look are you going for?"

I knew I could count on Piper.

The date was going so well.

It was just like hanging out with Leo, though there was a bit of awkwardness at the start.

We talked and talked, though I thought I knew everything about him, I found out there was loads of stuff I didn't know.

He also told lots of jokes that weren't funny at all, but we both laughed anyway.

It was almost perfect.

Jason's POV

Reyna had called earlier to say she was going out so there would be no point coming to her house today.

I rushed to the restaurant I knew she was going to, hoping I wasn't too late.

When I got inside, I looked around for her, feeling more confident by the second.

Maybe Nico was right.

Maybe I still had a chance with her.

I finally spotted her off in a quiet corner on my left, and began to walk towards Reyna.

My heart was thumping loudly in my chest, almost as if it wanted to burst out of my rib cage. I was finally going to do it. I was going to tell her.

As I got closer, I noticed she was with someone else.

Was that...Leo?

I knew it was always very probable. In fact, I told myself that very thing.

But that didn't stop my heart from crashing to pieces as I saw my best friend tentatively lean in to kiss my crush on the lips.

Reyna's POV

I had enjoyed the date a lot. It was nice hanging out in a different place, with just him.

He was my best friend, and though I didn't quite like him as I liked Jason yet, I was getting there.

Together maybe we could get over Jason.

Maybe together, we could learn to love each other. I thought

We were nearing the end of the date, when Leo did it.

Just a soft brush of the lips, nothing much. It felt slightly awkward, but nice all the same, and I blushed a deep pink. I wasn't very comfortable with pda.

He had leaned in and gently pressed his lips against mine when I heard a gasp.

I turned around, at first irritated at whoever had interrupted the moment.

Then I was just shocked.

Jason?

Sorry again guys it's really late, but I hope you enjoyed it. Did you like the other perspectives? Or do you want the focus to be more on Nico and Percy? Do you want Leo's point of view? Please let me know if you have any ideas, I really appreciate them.

Thanks for reading!

Bye!
