[ as much as he loves kissing percy ( and he does love it, the slow exchange of lips, the bit of tongue that curls around his and makes the ball of his tongue stud clack against his teeth ), nico can't keep breathing through his nose like he is forever. he pulls away reluctantly, his hands still on percy as though he doesn't want to let go ( he really doesn't ) and takes a deep breath. it's only then that he looks up into the features of the son of poseidon, and he knows there's a ridiculous grin on his now bruised lips.
it's kind of lame, he thinks, how easy it is for percy to make him happy. an ounce of attention, a small gift, a kiss in the aquarium. it may be his birthday, will might be putting a birthday part together for him, but for the moment, all that matters to nico is this. all that exists in the world for him is this and he's so in love it almost hurts. ]
a cute thing you shall have

Wow. Happy birthday to me, I guess.
