Hazel first noticed when she was unexpectedly staying at Camp Half Blood. Nico came back to the Hades cabin, past curfew, with a grin that the Cheshire cat would be proud of. Nico looked around the cabin, eyes skimming over Hazel. He did a double take when he spotted her.
"Hazel! What are you doing here?" Nico exclaimed, coming over and scooping Hazel into his arms.
Hazel smiled, gold eyes glittering. "Thought I'll drop by. I may have forgotten about the time difference;and by the time I got here, it was dinnertime, and I decided to stay the night."
Nico grinned and stood. "Well! That's great. I feel disgusting, mind if I go take a shower first? We can talk later!"
Hazel made a face, like what he just said was physically hurting her. "I don't understand how you can take a "shower," why not just come to Camp Jupiter every day, and take a nice Roman bath?"
He shook his head, and said "because traveling across the country would be hard without shadow traveling, and since I'm currently on hiatus with and I quote from Will Solace, the man himself, my "creepy underworld shit."
"Who's Will Solace?" Hazel smirked.
Nico suddenly turned very red and cut eye contact with her, looking like he regretted his entire life. She smiled knowingly, and forced her most innocent voice. "Seriously Nico! Who's this Will?"
Still avoiding eye contact, he mumbled, "he's just a friend."
"Uh huh." Nico glared at her. Normally, Hazel would shudder and look away, but her brother's tomato red face kind of ruined it; she grinned wider.
"Alright! Go take your little shower." Hazel flopped around on her bed, secretly grateful that her brother has finally found somebody that made him smile like that.
She made a mental note to interrogate Piper first thing tomorrow morning
