college au doodles as an excuse to put nico in percy's clothes :)
if you're new to the au, percy has a part time job as a swim coach for kids at a local pool + he's captain of the the college's swim team (and nico really comes to love the smell of chlorine)
this is inspired by that post from @incorrectpercicoquotes (forgive me for what i've done to it 🙈)
“Yeah, babe. Of course. Just—just have fun in there, okay?” Percy barely manages to stifle a moan as he almost throws his phone on the bedside table. It’s one of those he asked Leo to make when Annabeth broke up with him.
The break-up was mutual, yet Percy couldn’t help the feeling that he had to prove something; that somehow, he can move forward without his ex; that he can live the normal life they planned even without her.
The son of Poseidon holds back another moan as he feels a smirk against his cock.
Nico’s smirk.
This is all Nico’s fault.
His tongue swirls around Percy’s dick in a way that he forgets his new girlfriend. Percy knows he’s being unfair to her. She’s been nothing but nice to him, the perfect normal girl to Percy’s now normal life.
Or so he thought.
It doesn’t take long for Percy to reach his climax. Gods, Nico is such a fast-learner. Where did he even learn how to do this… It’s as if he—
Well, I know everything about you, Percy. Maybe more than you know yourself, Nico once told him, and by the day, Percy is finding that easier to believe.
The son of Hades climbs up to him, trailing kisses on Percy’s shoulder and neck. He shouldn’t be this turned on by the way he can catch a whiff of himself on Nico’s mouth.
“You know,” Nico’s voice is raspy and Percy feels getting hard again just by how debauched he sounds, his throat thoroughly fucked, “you should start being a better person.” A better boyfriend, Percy’s mind supplies.
Before he can even say something, Nico’s lips are already devouring his, slow and deliberate and wanting—
Percy: Nico, you do remember when we agreed we were better off as friends, right?
Nico, naked in Percy's bed: No, I absolutely do not.
Percy, already taking off their clothes: Fuck... Me neither.
back in BOO Nico did not confess his feelings to Percy instead he decided he must keep them locked up and move on, he stays at camp half-blood and sometimes does jobs for hades occasionally catching up with Hazel and Jason. Percy goes to New Rome University with Annabeth but things slowly fall apart as they realise anything more then platonic love exists from their bond of surviving two wars and tartarus together, so Percy spends more time at home with his family struggling with his mind and feelings. Percy and Nico with the others sometimes hang out, run into each other at camp, but they don’t talk much and often find each other staring. Eventually, Percy and Annabeth break up when he realises university is not what he wants to do and he feels that his life is not going the same direction as Annabeth. this leads Percy to go back to camp half-blood, his true second home, and asks Chiron if there’s any work he can do. He finds that Nico is there asking the same thing, having stayed at camp full time and being an adult now he had out grown the camp activities a long time ago.
now with a whole summer together Nico and Percy finally face their complicated past— Nico trying so hard to keep his hopeless devotion and love under wraps and Percy trying to understand his confusing feelings that he tried to deny is love. especially when a monster attack happens and Nico gets unexpectedly hurt and Percy steps in to save him just like all those years ago with thorn.
:3 maybe ill write this but fiction is not my strong suit with writing
Nico: BE A BETTER PERSON!
Percy: WHY?!
Nico: BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORALS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, AND IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA BE ME, SWEETHEART!
Percy: What's wrong with you?
Nico: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition for anxiety and depression.
Percy: Nico, you do remember when we agreed we were better off as friends, right?
Nico, naked in Percy's bed: No, I absolutely do not.
Percy, already taking off their clothes: Fuck... Me neither.
