Nico
I sat beneath a tree, watching Will and his sibling play volleyball. Will was barefoot, and was wearing a sleevless CHB shirt, showing off his muscular biceps. I sighed as he ran after the ball, hit it, and sent it over the net, and the other side missed, scoring a point for his team. I picked at the grass, absent-mindedly.
I thought I was done. I had a crush, and I got over it. That's it, right? I thought to myself, but as I glanced back at the child of Apollo, and he smiled and waved at me, I knew that wasn't the case. I blushed and looked back down.
A large shadow passed over me and I looked up.
"Mind if I lay here?" He asked. I shook my head and he folded his legs beneath his horse half. He stayed silent, watching the game as well, but I heard the silent challenge clearly. 'Talk about it. What's on your mind?'
"I don't know what to do" I caved. He glanced at me. "About what?" He asked. I sighed. "Are you really going to make me say it?" I asked. He chuckled. "Nico, I have been around a long time, and the one thing I notice about all demigods, is that they need to open up, and voice what they feel. Some do it in a journal, some come to me, while other go to their friends. I'm not asking you to open up to me specifically, but if you don't open up at all, you could hurt others, along with yourself." He said. I groaned. "But-Chiron, he's my best friend!" I complained. "Then I don't see what the problem is." He replied. "I don't want to ruin that. I-Im scared. What if he rwjects me? What if he hates me? I just don't want to do something I'll regret." He looked at me. "We don't get do-overs. There is no undo button for life, but demigods can't dwell on 'what ifs'. Here is an analogy for you. It's like, wanting to do something that you love, but being worried that you won't excell at it, so you never try, then the rest of your life you wonder what would have happened if you had taken up that offer. Tell me son of Hades, could you live with that missed opportunity? If you go for it, at least you tried. But if you don't, you will never know what would have happened." He said. "I must be going." He got up and trotted back to the big house. I grumbled about stupid wise old centaurs and their perfectly logical reasoning, as I got up and walked over to Will Solace, who was wiping his sweaty face with a damp towl.
A/N
Should I continue this? I just thought about how Chiron wants to know all his students, yet he is ratly seen talking to Nico. If you think I should continue this please let me know, and feel free to leave suggestions as to what happens next. Thanks!
