Nico di Angelo was going through an "Emo Phase."
My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco were a few of his favorite artists.
There was also Falling in Reverse, Daughtry, fucking Rascal Flatts.
So yea, I think it's safe to say he was going through an "Emo Phase."
One time Percy heard him listening to Girls/Boys/Girls in his cabin and said "Dude, you're going through an emo phase." And Nico was like "What is this 'Phase' that you speak of? I know not of a phase."
Then it happened.
They were having a Karaoke Night at Camp Half-Blood.
And to say the least:
nICO wAs sHO_ok.
So he signed up and a bunch of others did as well (Including Clarisse. Im) and so Nico was about tenth on the list.
"WELP. Time to binge listen to my playlist."
Nico didn't want to sing any of the songs on his playlist.
The were all too scream-y, or sad-y, or emo-y.
So basically, he was stuck.
And what better way to get unstuck than to read a bunch of Drarry song fics?
So he did that. And he somehow went from Drarry to Spiritshipping??
Anyways, he found a song. And it was FUcKiNg EVerYthiNg.
So he planned on singing it tonight.
'HOEEEEEMYGODS' was all that Nico could think because Clarrisse was singing his song.
E.T. by Katie Perry.
And he was right after her.
And he had no song.
'Whoops, I'm screwed.' He thought.
Clarrisse finished her song and everyone clapped and cheered. She did do a good job.
Now it was Nico's turn. The only ones who cheered were the Prophesy Seven and Will.
"Damnit." He muttered.
He scanned his brain for a song to find and finally found one after ten seconds.
"Shit." He said then proceeded to tell Chiron what he wanted to sing.
The music started like a broken mixtape (You should know where this is going), then Nico started to sing.
Do I look lonely?
I see the shadows on my face
People have told me
I don't look the same
Maybe I lost weight
I'm playing Hookey
With the best of the best
Pulled my heart out my chest
So that you can see it too
So far, there was nothing but muttering. Nico heard some of it too.
"Does this deadweight actually think he Can sing?"
"Deathboy should go to his dad and leave us alone."
But the one that really got to him was
"Did his singing kill his sister and mother?"
And Nico stopped singing. The music stopped. Everything stopped in Nico's mind.
He stared at the crowd but couldn't find the person that said it. So he did the thing that any sensible person would do.
He flipped shit.
And Tartarus froze over.
"How can you say things like that? You just insulted my dead family. I should kill all of you. In fact, I think I will. But first, let me say, all of you are shit. The shit of Apollo's sacred cows.
"How about I teach you a lesson. It's called calm go bye-bye. When you insult my friends, calm go bye-bye. When you take my services for granted, calm go bye-bye. When you disrespect my fucking family, calm go bye-bye.
"A lot of you look forward to being here for the summer. I don't. I come here and think ' Welcome to Camp fucking Half-Blood. Home of the bigoted assholes who claim they're like a family but act like fifty families feuding all at once.'
"Somebody once told me that a child of Hades's (Hades' ?? Idk) fatal flaw is holding a grudge. But I can't bring myself to let go of this one."
And be rose five skeletons for each person there and calmly walked back to the Hades Cabin.
He skipped dinner the next day and was preparing to shadow travel to the Underworld when a knock sounded on his door.
"Coming." He said and opened it to find Percy sitting there with a plate for Nico.
"Hey, Neeks. You can't skip dinner. Eat something. I already did an offering to your dad and Artemis."
"How did you know about the Artemis thing?" Nico hadn't told anyone that he did that. Ever.
"I guessed. Now," he pushed past Nico and inside, "eat."
So Nico ate.
"What was the skipping dinner thing about, Neeks?"
"It was nothing. Just an Emo Phase."
And they both laughed because it was true.
Awwwwwh.
First of all, DEATH OF A BACHELOR BY PANIC! AT THE DISCO.
Secondly,
I can't with the Supportive!Percy. I'm in love with this. See you later. Also,
