Nico's Return story short Leo's Return

Nico

They couldn't believe someone was missing, again! This time, it was Nico. He had already been missing once, when he had been kept in that jar, so they wondered what could happen to him now. When they found him, it was not like anything they would expect.

He looked exactly the same. Like, exactly the same. Even his clothes looked unharmed.  He walked up to us, like everything was perfectly fine. I guess it sort of was for him.  He ran across everybody's face in turn and stopped with Piper on the end, then rolled his eyes and muttered something to himself.

"What did I expect?" He began walking towards the exit of the pit.  Someone should really just be posted here to see everyone as soon as they are taken here.  Everybody had to catch up with him, as he was already halfway up the stairs. They had parked the ArgoII right above the area from their last trip to New Rome.  

When they were back on the ship, everybody kept asking him what had happened to him down there. He refused to respond. Jason had gone off, he was probably down there. We had learned, the hard way, that if we didn't let him take his course down there, then he would be taken down again.  

A day pasted and Nico still wouldn't tell.  Leo was wandering the halls aimlessly one day, when he came across Nico.  He gasped when he saw him.  Nico had Piper pressed up against a wall and they were kissing each other.  They both looked at Leo in the kind of 'please don't tell' way.

"Hey."  Leo began, talking to Nico, "aren't you...?"


Shut up."  He responded, and kissed Piper again.  So Leo left.  But he also told Percy, and Frank, and Hazel, and Annabeth, and made them swear on the Styx (before hand) not to tell Jason.  When he told Percy, his expression was almost unreadable.  He started murmuring something then left, probably to find Nico and either a) ask if it was true .or b) slap some sense into him.

Percy wondered in too Nico's room and found him there, looking out the window.  He grabbed his arm.


Get off me!"  Nico struggled and tried to pry Percy's hand off.  He wouldn't give.  Percy pulled Nico out to the ship deck and started yelling at him for kissing Jason's girlfriend.  Luckily for Nico, Jason nor anyone else was there at the moment.  He didn't know everyone already knew.
