Percico

"Thanks, Percy." Nico smikes, grabbing the boy's hands from across the table.

"No problem, Neeks. I know how much you love Italian restaurants." Percy smiles in return.

"Yeah, well, I'm thanking you for bringing me on another date to begin with."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know."

Percy blushes, which makes Nico blush deeper than he. "Well, you're welcome. Thanks for coming."

Nico squeezes Percy's left hand. Percy squeezes back.

"What do you say I take you home?" Percy asks.

Nico smiles, looking down, "I'd like that."

"Eyes on the road, Percy."

"But you're beautiful."

Nico blushes, "So don't kill me."

Percy smiles, taking a turn to Nico's house. He pulls over by the building.

"I love you." Percy kisses Nico. Nico steps out and walks to his front door. He looks back and waves, and enters his house.

Once inside, he can't escape his smile. He looks out the window to see Percy driving out and away, "I love you, too."
