A Sister's Heart
I sat down on Hazel's bed and nervously played with my hands in my lap. I felt the bed deep beside me as Hazel sat down. I could see her worried expression out of the corner of my eyes. She placed a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"What was it that you wanted to tell Nico?" I could hear the concern in her voice.
"Um, well, you see. I, um," I let out a tense breath and held on to the edge of the bed looking towards the door and away from my sister. That's it, she's my sister, she loves me, and this wouldn't make her stop, would it?
"What I'm going to tell you is really hard to say, but it's something I think you should know. And I hope it would change how you see me and all that. Um, it's just, well…" I trailed off.
"Nico, you're my big brother. Nothing you could ever say or do will stop me from loving you. You can tell me." She retches out and toke hold of my hand closest to her. I take a deep breath and braced myself for what I was about to say.
"Um, okay, okay. Hazel, um, you see I like boy the way boys are suppose to like girls." I steel my nerves before turning to look at her. Her face is confused and then shocked for a minute, I feel like I'm either going to cry or run. Then she removes her hand from mine and then moves toward me so fast I could barely register what she was doing. For a horrifying moment I think she's going to hit me or something. Then her arms wrap tightly around my neck and whispers.
"It's okay Nico. I like boys the way boys like girls to."
I wrap my arms around her small torso and beery my head in her shoulder. Sobbing softly with relief I mumble thanks into her neck repeatedly and feel her begin to rub my back gently.
"Hey, now, its okay, you don't have to worry." She assures me and somewhere deep down I actually believe her.
A/N: Okay so I felt the need to write this. No one can tell that Nico told Percy before telling Hazel. This takes place the day after the whole cupid thing. Nico felt the need to tell Hazel so she heard it from him instead of someone else, not really trusting Jason to keep his secret. This happens in Hazel's cabin on the Argo two. I was thinking of continuing this. Maybe write it with Hazel POV during his confession or going back in time to when Bianca finds out. Cause I feel he wouldn't have tried to hide it all that and let something slip that confirms her suspicions. What do you guys think? Review please!
