[ while percy deliberates, watches him, nico never tears his eyes away. he's fallen into that verdant green gaze and simply can't escape. it doesn't help that he's always been attractive to percy's features, always found him devastatingly appealing. puberty had been hell with percy around, which had been part of the reason he spent so much time avoiding the sea's favored son. now able to control some of those urges he'd once had, he can manage to look percy in the eye without fearing the reveal of his feelings. feelings of which percy is already aware.
the moment passes for nico in both an instant and over the span of eternity. he doesn't hold his breath, but when percy does respond, he swallows. if percy's heart is loud to him, nico doesn't hear it. in his own ears is the sound of his breathing and the measured thrumming of his own heart. he doesn't think about will, doesn't think about how thin the walls are, doesn't think about anything but the way percy's mouth moves. ]
