Scenario: 4. We ran into a forest together just to hang out but I climb a tree and fall on you and it's awkward until . . .

《 Ship 》 》 Percico

Nico fell on Percy, completely flustered. With an "oof!" and an "ow..." and a "what the-" from Percy, Nico quickly tried to roll off of Percy, but their legs were intertwined.

After a minute of struggling in crumpled leaves and mud, Nico found himself only inches away from Percy's face, their eyes staring into each other.

A dark brush crossed Nico's face and Percy's eyebrows lifted.

"I-I- uh-" Percy stammered, unsure of what to say in this moment.

Nico froze, staring at Percy. There was no way Nico could get himself out of this, way too flustered to even try.

"S-sorry," Nico choked after a moment. He inhaled sharply.

Suddenly, there was a whistle coming from behind them. "Whoo! You two are looking cute today!"

Nico peered over Percy's shoulder, glaring at a random camper. "Mind your business!"

He laughed, and Percy cracked a smile too.

"What?" Nico asked Percy, noticing the cocky grin.

"Nothing..." Percy said. "Just, he's right."

Nico blinked, "What?"

"Yeah. You're cute today."

Nico blinked again. Percy just said that. To him!

He broke out in a small smile, "You do, too, Jackson."
