Okay, guys, I know that I should be writing things else, but I wanted to start this series, too. All of it will be about people-demigods- finding out that Either who Nico loves or that he's gay. I have wanted to do such thing because I like people supporting Nico and being there for him. I don't know how long will it be, but enjoy!

Nico was not sure what had just happened.

He was just chilling, probably for the first time, with his very first friends, which were Jason, Piper and the damned son if Apollo, Will Solace.

Oh gods. Will.

Anyways, he was just hanging around -Is that what they call it nowadays?- and Jason kissed Piper and hugged him, and then Will was called from the infirmary, and Piper and Nico were alone somehow. It was the actual first time they were, and it was pretty awkward. They stood silent for a while, and then Piper blushed and spoke.

"So… Who do you like?" Nico frowned.

"What?"

"I can feel that you like like someone. Who is it?"

"I- I don't!"

Piper giggled. "I knew that you liked someone when you were on the ship, and I know that Jason knows and I know that Percy and Annabeth know. Who is it?" Nico shivered.

"I think you got the wrong impression, Piper." She smirked.

"Is that why you're blushing right now, di Angelo? Come on, I am the daughter of Aphrodite! I know how you feel!" Nico tried to smile, but his lips were shaking.

"Okay! Okay! I may have, but I don't now! Not anymore!" Piper smiled.

"Then you may have moved on, but you like someone else. Who is it? Was it or is it Annabeth?" Nico laughed. This was about her?

"I don't like Annabeth, Piper," he said. "I have never. I told you that you have the wrong impression."

If this conversation had happened a year ago, Nico would have dissolved into shadows. Run away from everything, especially from Will. But it was not a year ago, and Nico was no longer avoiding himself. No, he actually knew what to run away from and what not to. Piper blinked.

"Well, then who is it? It can't be Hazel." Her eyes widened. "Oh gods, please don't say it's me." Nico cracked a laugh.

"It's not you, Piper," he said. He knew this moment would come. "I used to like someone on that ship, but I don't anymore. It wasn't you, and it is not Annabeth or thank the gods Hazel either. I…" his voice trailed off. "I was not into some girl. I still am not." Piper froze.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't know, Nico. It's okay for me, it's just… Gods, I messed up, haven't I?" She was blushing. Nico smiled.

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to know. Even Hazel doesn't know." He glared at her. "Please don't tell her. We were… brought up in a strange place. I can't expect her to understand. Even I don't understand." He looked up to her like a puppy. "Please." Piper shrugged.

"This is not my secret, Nico. I won't. But one thing… who was it?" She shook her head. "No, that doesn't matter anymore. Who is it?" Nico blushed.

"He is… Well, he is unique, that's for sure. He's not like other demigods." Piper raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"He can't fight, that's one thing. And I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't want to. We are not alike, that's for sure." Piper smiled.

"And by 'not alike' you mean…"

"The complete opposites, yeah. He's like what I used to be, when Bianca was still alive and Percy Jackson was my only problem. He makes me want to bring that side out again, be more solid, not just a shadow. He makes me want to come out of the shadows and sunbathe or something." Piper grinned, she knew.

"You loved Percy," she started. "That's why you were so sad, you were hopelessly in love with one guy who risked himself in hell. Gods, you risked yourself to hell. He's such an idiot!" She shook her head. "But Nico, you said you want to come out of shadows. With so much time with the sun himself or the relative of it, you're already coming out. Your love to him just helps a little." She laughed, but it was from happiness, and probably relief from a friend. Like he was going to survive.

"Please don't tell this to someone. I will whenever I'm ready." Piper nodded, with a huge smile on her face. They were hugging when Jason came.

"Whoa. What is going on?" He asked, he was laughing. Nico blushed. "Let's get Will from the infirmary and go to dinner," Piper said. The three friends went to the infirmary, and Nico's heart hopped when he saw Will. Maybe Piper was right. Maybe he really was coming out of the shadows without knowing.

Did you like it? Tell me if you do so! I will continue as soon as possible! Stay awesome!'
