Hi Demigods! I am new here and am a huge fan of Percy Jackson. Here is a story about how Poseidon finds out about Nico's crush on Percy...Situated after the Giant War...Ok Enjoy and I hope you like it! Please comment, it will be greatly appreciated.
Walking the beautiful halls of Mount Olympus, which is now located on the 600th floor of the Empire State building, I came across Aphrodite who was looking at an image of one of the demigods at Camp Half-Blood. She sits on a bench adorned with multicolored flowers, her hands clasped together in her lap. She smiles to herself then reaches her hand towards the image and gently taps the scene. It disappears.
Without turning towards me she says "Hello Poseidon. How is your son doing?"
"Fine...having a fun time after the battle with Gaea. Quite relaxed he seem last I met him. Why do you ask?" I say trying to figure out what is going on in her head.
Instead of answering my question, she ignores it and asks one of her own, "Do you know how Nico is doing?"
"Nico? The son of Hades? How am I supposed to know?" I ask offended because she mentioned my brother's son. "Plus why did you ask those two questions, the one about my son and Nico together?"
"Oh...just you know because Nico likes Perseus and is day dreaming about him right now...oh such a cute story they have!" She answers as she gets up and leaves, leaving me to gape at the idea of a son of Hades having a crush on his son. That's gross and really disturbing. I must inquire about this!
Poseidon descends from the hallway, going warp speed towards Camp Half-Blood, the refuge for all demigods. Once there, he goes to the Hades cabin where he finds Nico sitting on an obsidian desk at the back. He leans over a piece if paper which appears to be a drawing. I walk silently up to him and glance over his shoulder, invisible. What I see on the paper makes me even more shocked.
On the paper is a drawing of Percy without his shirt on and Nico is staring at it with a gaze so full of longing that there is no doubt what Aphrodite said is true. Turning visible to his eyes, I materialize before him, my arms crossed. He looks up from his drawing and takes in the sight before him with wide eyes that look like an owl's. He starts to bow down before me but I don't give him a chance.
"So I hear you have a crush on Percy." I say.
