A/N: Ich hab letztens dieses Szenario irgendwo gelesen und war unzufrieden mit der Auflösung, und daher kam dieses vage Konzept. Nicht, dass ich jetzt damit zufrieden wäre, aber… Endspurt!
Nico is sick of keeping their relationship a secret and Leo is kind of a dick.
“You know what?!“ Nico’s voice was trembling, his hair standing on end from the way he had been carding through it incessantly the past few minutes, and Leo… Leo just stared. “You know what, go fuck yourself! Or that girl you’re having a date with! Or, really, any other girl, just… go!” By the end, he was shouting.
“Nico…”
He didn’t hear Leo or didn’t want to hear him, instead, he gesticulated towards the phone on the counter and then to the door, back to the phone, and then threw his hands up in despair. “Just, piss off!”
And Leo was really tempted to. This was not his fault. Emphatically not. His. Fault. “What did you expect?! We agreed we wouldn’t tell anyone about us!”
“Because you didn’t want anyone to know!” There was tears running down Nico’s face and that inexplicably made Leo only angrier.
“Not like you were going to shout it off the rooftops! And I didn’t ask her out, Piper tries to set us up!”
Nico spun around. “Doesn’t mean you have to agree to it!”
“Of course I do, the ladies love me!” So, okay, Leo was shouting and his heart was racing and maybe he was being a bit of a dick about this whole thing, but if he wasn’t ready to do this, that was only his business, and if he wanted to meet Piper’s co-worker for a couple of drinks, he was absolutely free to do just that. “You know what, di Angelo, fuck you and your self-righteous gay ass! I’m leaving!”
“Fine! Just remember to not come back!”
The apartment door fell shut behind him with a degree of finality Leo hadn’t expected. “Well, fuck.”
In the end, Leo didn’t go on that date. Or to Percy’s party on Friday, or to, well, pretty much anything. He got drunk the first evening, cried into a tub of ice cream the following two days and then came to a conclusion. And got drunk again, just for good measure.
“Piper, I suck.”
He could see the grin vanish as she took in his state and instead for the innuendo, she went for the hug. Because Piper was the best friend a man could wish for. “The others are here for movie night. Shall we go for a walk?”
Leo sighed. “No, the others need to hear this as well.”
“Leo…”
“No, no, really, it’s important.”
Jason and Percy stopped quarrelling over the remote when they walked in. Annabeth waved from her place on the recliner and Hazel pulled Leo into a quick hug while still balancing a bowl of chips. Nico, sitting next to Frank, just scowled at him. Which he probably deserved.
“Guys, hey.”
“Where’ve you been on Friday? We missed you.” Jason looked worried.
“Guys, I need to tell you something.” Leo took a deep breath trying to calm down his racing heart. “I’ve been in a relationship for… oh, well over a year.”
Hazel made a strange noise at that, but Leo just went on, his heart was beating in his throat, and if he stopped know... “Don’t act too surprised, it’s over. I fucked it up.”
“As usual.” Piper.
“As usual,” he agreed. “Anyway… While I am an all around shitty boyfriend, the last straw was the fact that I… well, didn’t tell you. Or anyone. Because I didn’t want people to think I’m gay, maybe, or because I didn’t want to jinx it...”
“You’re gay?” That was Jason, his voice soft and calm.
Leo shrugged. “Bi, I guess? Anyway… well. You deserved to know. And…” He couldn’t look at Nico, he just couldn’t. “And he deserved better than that, deserved better than me. Well, that’s all, have a lovely evening.”
He turned around without waiting for his friends’ reaction. There probably would’ve been hugs and maybe Piper slapping him, but in the end, that wasn’t the problem. He’d never been afraid of their reaction, if he was honest with himself.
“Leo, wait!”
He had expected Jason to run after him. Or Hazel. Maybe Piper. Definitely not Nico.
“Wait! Hey.” Nico had his head hung low, black bangs falling into his eyes. “Leo, that was…”
“A bit dramatic, I know.” He shrugged. “You know me.”
Nico finally looked him in the eyes, biting his lip. The sight made Leo’s heart beat faster. “No… That was pretty… That was a pretty good speech. But…”
Leo shook his head. “I know. It doesn’t change anything. I don’t deserve a second chance, or, a fifth, really. And… frankly, I don’t want it either. I guess, we just… don’t work.”
“Leo…” Nico pulled him into a tight hug. “I love you.”
“Duly noted.”
“Ass.”
“I love you too, di Angelo.”
