prompt:
Nico: Gods...it's so hot in here.🤔🥵
Percy: I know but why are unbuttoning my shirt? 🤨😏
(They re already at least dating here ofc)
Why was he back in Mt. Saint Hellens again?
No, really, he thought everyone agreed bringing Percy back to this place was a huge no-no. Hephaestus agreed, his father agreed. Hell, even Zeus agreed.
Yet here he was, going after Nico, who had gone MIA on his last mission from Phobos to free his brother from Hephaestus forge (no doubt one of the god's petty revenges against his wife).
To make matters worse, the magma made the environment stuffy and unbearably hot.
As he traversed through the wmpty forge, he found some arrows and a fuchsia bow (he guessed it was divine in nature, otherwise the word fuchsia would have never appeared on his mind). It didn't seem to belong to Deimos, but he picked them up just in case.
A loud bang drew his attention to a closed door. Percy hurried and opened it. Inside there was an armory, and in the middle of it all was his boyfriend, huffing and with a flail on hand.
"Percy!" he shouted, running out and tackling him. "The door doesn't open from the inside!" He explained after they were both on the ground outside the armory.
"What happened to you?" He asked.
"It wasn't Deimos!" Nico cried. "The trapped god ended up being another son of Aphrodite, Himeros!"
Percy winced. Now he knew why Phobos had made the request. Nico didn't take missions from love gods if he could help it.
"I tried making distance and then, I fell into that armory!" He exclaimed. "He's still trapped, to free him we need to bring him the weapon... you're holding... I love you!"
Percy grinned.
"Always happy to help."
"I can finally leave this place," he said in relief. "It's so hot in here!"
Percy raised an eyebrow.
"I'm with you on that, Ni but... why are you unbuttoning my shirt?" He asked as Nico fumbled to get his top off.
"The heat won't stop," he said midlessly. "Let's add to it."
"Um, Love? What is Himeros god of?" He asked as Nico moved to his pants.
Danger, Danger! His mind blared like an intercom during an evacuation.
"Um... unrequited love and sexual desire," Nico mumbled as he pulled on his pants.
Percy looked at his back. Despite the glow of magma, Percy could see the bow and arrows shining brightly.
"Nico, you're not on your right mind," he tried, gently prying him off. Nico took the opportunity to get rid of his own shirt.
The intercom voice turned into a full-blown fire alarm.
"You think I don't want to do this, Percy Jackson?" Nico said, chuckling huskily. "This isn't the first time we do it on a god's place."
And Percy groaned, remembering the escapades Nico always talked him into.
Except this time. It was like Nico had been drinking. It wouldn't be okay, even if they both wanted it.
"You want to give an Erotes a peep show?" He said, hoping Nico's dislike of Love Gods was more than his desire. "Because I'm sure Himeros is watching us from his prison."
It was like a switch flipped. Nico frowned and stood up, leaving Percy in his underwear as he grabbed the bow and threw it towards a painting of a band on the wall.
The painting grabbed the bow and turned into a winged god, wearing a pink band around his head.
"You're such a spoilsport," he complained as he strapped the bow on his back. "What's wrong with a little show of love?"
"I'll give it once you're gone." Nico frowned and crossed his arms. "Make sure to thank Phobos, or else you'd have been there a lot longer."
"You really don't get it," Himeros sighed. Percy was just buttoning his shirt back up as he observed them. "We're love itself, as long as you're in love, we'll be part of your life."
"Then be part of my life while never interacting with me," Nico growled. Percy couldn't help but think it was hot, and wondered if it was what he and Nico almost did or Himeros's presence.
Himeros sighed again, but snapped his fingers and disappeared in the usual godly light neither of them could see.
"So, still feeling up to it?" Percy asked in jest. Nico sighed. "It's okay if you're not—"
"I am, but I'm also to pissed off to do anything," Nico interrupted him. "Let's just go home already."
Percy had an idea.
"You know, if you're mad, I can give you a massage once we're home," he tempted.
Nico cracked a smile.
"Only if you're back in your underwear."
Percy smiled back. he started unbuttoning his shirt again.
"Well, it's still really hot..."
