A/N: hi guys! So this fanfiction is going to be about a same-sex relationship. I DO support gay rights, and I don't want any hate because I do. I'm writing this to challenge myself to think outside the box. Please, if you find gay relationships weird, just click back to the previous page and be done with this. I don't want any hateful reviews, please. Thanks.

Leo walked swiftly down the row of male-godly parent cabins. He was desperate to talk to Nico, set things straight.

He stopped in front of Cabin 13, Hades' cabin, and reached up to knock. He didn't have a chance to, because the door swung open, and Nico was about to storm out of it.

"Leo?" Nico asked. "I was just about to come find you." he said, looking down at his black army boots.

Leo thought he saw him blush, but it was gone in a second.

"Yeah, we need to talk." he said, shifting his weight from one leg to the other.

"Agreed. Come in." Nico said, moving out of the doorway and gesturing into his empty cabin

Leo walked in, his work boots making loud 'clunks' as he did.

Nico shut the door firmly and walked to stand across from Leo.

"Listen, I..." they said simultaneously.

A blush crept to Leo's cheeks. "You go first." he said, pulling some wires out of his pocket and fiddling with them.

Nico's pale cheeks flushed a bright shade of red. "I don't care what you think, or anyone else anymore. I need to say it." he muttered, scuffing the floor with the toe of his boot.

Leo looked up from his work and his brown eyes widened. "I'm listening." he said.

"I...I really like you." Nico blurted. "I have for a while, and I couldn't keep it inside anymore. I'm getting tired of being an introvert, and being wrapped up in my cynicism." he continued, blushing an even deeper shade of red.

Leo walked toward him slowly, taking his hands. "It's not good being alone all the time." he whispered, looking into Nico's almost-black eyes.

Nico looked up, shocked at the contact. "So..." he began

"Yes." Leo said, cutting him off.

"Since I first met you. I love your indifference, how you don't give a shit what anyone thinks about you. I love that you can look good in skinny jeans. How your pale skin compliments mine. And.." he said moving even closer to his crush, tilting his head upwards because of the height difference. "I love that cute little lopsided grin you get when you're excited about something." he finished.

Nico couldn't take it anymore. He rushed forward, pressing his lips to Leo's. They toppled backwards at the force, luckily landing on one of the black couches in the cabin.

Leo tangled his fingers in Nico's hair as he landed under him. He grunted on impact but managed to not break the kiss.

Nico slid his hands up Leo's chest and rested them on his shoulders. The kiss was passionate, loving. They both poured their emotions into one absolutely wonderful kiss.

Leo pulled away, feeling a bit guilty. Nico rested on his forearms, leaning down and kissing the spot at the back of Leo's jaw, right below his ear.

"W-what about R-Reyna?" Leo blurted out, in between gasps as Nico sucked on the sweet spot he had found.

Nico paused for a second. "What about her?" he asked, looking up.

"Well...she's kinda my girlfriend..." Leo admitted. He tried to sit up, but his limbs were hopelessly entangled with Nico's.

The paler of the two merely shrugged. "She doesn't have to know." he said, the lopsided grin Leo loved so much spreading across his face.

Leo laughed, and laid back down. "Alright. We'll just keep this a secret, for now. Until I know I can tell her." he decided, biting his bottom lip in thought.

Nico nodded, and rested himself on Leo's warm chest. He could feel his heartbeat and Leo's mixing together, in a perfect harmony. This was going to be the start of something good.

A/N: I want to thank my good friend, lets call her "A", who supports this ship and fanfiction ( and my other ones as well ) and came up with the title of this story. You're wonderful. 3
