Third Person P.O.V.

Nico leans over the railing and kisses Percy's cheek, "Go fight for your team, Seaweed Brain."

Percy winks with a lop-sided grin, and runs out into the football field.

~ After the Game ~

Percy pulls his fingers through Nico's hair. They're sitting next to each other in the back seats of Sally Jackson's car, Nico resting his head on Percy's shoulder and holding his hand.

Sally is focused on the road ahead (to Nico's place). Percy starts chatting with Nico.

"You're so cold, didn't you bring a jacket?" Percy looks at Nico's thin jacket.

Nico shrugs, snuggling into Percy's arm, "I'm fine."

Nico kisses Percy's cheek, "You did well today, Seaweed Brain."

Percy smiles, but before he makes an egoistic remark, Nico yawns and his eyelids drip halfway.

"Tired? I'm the one who played basketball for an hour and a half." Percy cackles.

Nico shrugs, "Watching you fail wore me out."

"Hey! You said I did well!"

"You're my boyfriend. I'm going to say that anyway."

The rest of the ride was more meaningless, playful bickering.

Once Sally parked by Nico's house and told him her farewells, Nico stepped out of the car. Percy held onto his hand, though, and brought Nico's knuckles to Percy's lips intending to kiss them. Instead, Nico broke his hand free and smacked Percy.

"Try it, Jackson."

"But you're my-"

"Try it."
