[ definitely the latter. nico feels a bit dazed, still breathless, and he already regrets the hand slipping away from his abdomen. he misses it like he might miss a limb and has to stop himself from reaching out and yanking percy back into a kiss. his resolve had been limited to begin with and it's even weaker now that he's feeling as light-headed as he is. gods, he wants this to head everywhere possible, and nico isn't sure he can stop them if percy doesn't.
and really, in nico's estimation, that doesn't seem like a bad thing. he's willing to give as much of himself to percy as percy wants because he never dreamed this would ever happen. he doubted the likelihood with percy always attached to annabeth's hip. and maybe he should feel a bit guilty about having percy this way when annabeth is gone, but he doesn't care. his mind is filled with the son of the sea and he wants those lips on him again. ]
No- No, I'm... [ he swallows, one hand reaching over to cup percy's cheek as nico gazes at him. without thinking, he licks his lips and misses the taste of percy's. ] Don't stop. Gods, please don't stop.
