Summary
Percy sighs, envious of how peaceful Nico looks out there when his own heart is in his throat every time he picks up his skateboard in this place. Then he realizes he’s probably been staring for a borderline creepy amount of time at this point, which is of course the moment Nico looks right back at him.
Percy feels a spike of… something in his chest, in that second of eye contact. Competition? Curiosity? Fear? Except, Percy doesn’t do fear. Doesn’t get scared, or nervous. Never backs down from anything, never quits, even midway through a trick he knows he's not going to land. It’s the one thing they get right about him on the news: Percy Jackson does not bail.
So he swallows it, and drops in.
