The boy with the seaweed brain {Pernico}

Part 30

"To put it bluntly, do you want this girl to receive punishment for her actions or do you think she should be let off with a warning?"

"Depends on how harsh the punishment is and what Nico thinks." I say, looking at the black haired boy who simply nodded at me, the ghost of a smile on his face.

"Nico thinks she should be punished with the worst you can do."

The girl looks at me with pleading eyes.

"Well we do need someone to visit the forest nymphs as a demi-god representative...no-one is willing to do it because every one knows about the monsters. We also need someone to visit Olympus with a message for Ares."

The girls eyes widened further. I could hear Nico's voice in the back of my brain.

"Both, she fucking deserves it."

"Nico and I both believe she should do both."

"But he didn't say anything!" The girl says, standing up from her chair.

"Sit down Missy."  I say, summoning a jet of water from a nearby glass and throwing it in her face, causing her to stumble back and into her chair.

Nico lets out a laugh.

"Oh you find my harassment funny, do you fag." She says, spitting every word like venom.

"Listen here, bitch," Nico finally spoke,"I am decades older than you'll ever be, my father is the ruler of Hades hence the name. I know ways to make you suffer that they don't even use there because of how cruel they are. Understood? Not only that but I am dating the one and only Percy Jackson. I will be better than you no matter what you do. You find a handsome, strong, rich boyfriend? Percy is a better boyfriend. You're dad works as a librarian? My dad is a ruler of his own domain. You won a war? Between Percy and I we've won at least a dozen? You've visited a certain god? Good for you but just know. I'm smarter, older and better than you'll ever be." With that, Nico huffed and walked to the door.

"At least my sister's still alive." The girl said, crossing her arms.

That was all it took for Nico to storm over, hand out towards me. As if on instinct I uncapped riptide and handed the sword to him.

He walks over to the girl and uses shadows to hold her still while he held riptide to her throat.

"NEVER. SPEAK. OF. MY. SISTER." With every word, riptide was pushed closer to her skin. He didn't need to break the skin to make her regret her words.

"So boy, should I punish her."

"Give. Her. Your. Worst." Nico said, fury running through his body and out through his mouth as he handed me riptide and released the shadows.

"Gladly. Enjoy your day boys."

"Good day sir." Nico says, grabbing my wrist and dragging me behind him to the cabin.

"Are you ok, Nico?" I ask, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Before I can say anything else, he pulls me into a kiss before walking into the bathroom, leaving the door unlocked then I hear the shower start up.

"Nico, can I join you?" I ask, slightly worried.

"Sure. If you want." His voice says.

I walk in slowly to see Nico stood with a towel in his hands, zoned out looking at the shower. I step into the shower with out even a second thought.

He slightly smiled at me before wiping his eye and following my action.

We just stand there, wetting our hair. I'm waiting to see if Nico is ok with me being here. Within a few minutes, Nico wraps his arms around my waist, resting his hands on the slight bump.

"Why?" He says, breaking the silence.

" 'Why?' what, hon?"

"Why are you still here?"

"What do you mean by that?" I ask, worried.

"I'm practically useless and here you are, with me, in my shower because I was too weak to protect myself. I'm just weak"

I turn around to face the raven haired boy who had brought his arms back in to his chest and was avoiding my eyes.

"Nico, honey, my love. Never. And I say never  bad-mouth the boy I love. You are not weak, you are not useless and I am still here because I love and care for you." As I say this, I bring my left hand to tilt his face to e while my right one took his left hand.

"Percy. Are...are you sure you want me to help raise a child?"

"Nico, I wouldn't want anyone else to help raise my child other than you."

"Percy. I'm tired."

"I know hon. Do you want to skip activities today?"

"Yeah. We should actually wash our hair"

"Agreed."

When we finished our shower, we dried off and went to bed, not really caring what we ended up in. We cuddled for the entire day as we drifted into sleep.
