Hi! I have something to discuss or ask you guys or whatever. So I love Andi cause I made her up but I really feel she's been use more than I first said I would, It was merely to get things to a certain point but I think I might find away to take her out. How do you feel about that?
"Well, thanks anyway Hazel. How are things over there in general?" Nico was talking to to his half sister Hazel. Nico had been following Andromeda's trail which was surprisingly easy, the demon was being careless in her cursed unresponsive state. Nico still felt uneasy about the quest seeing as this was his friend as stake not to mention he's in wizard territory something he isn't an expert on. Nico liked having the upper hand it means you're more likely to succeed but he didn't feel like he had much of an upper hand, it worried him. Nico had IM'd Hazel to check how things were back at camping and seeing if she had any information on this whole thing or theories or if there was anything strange that happened lately. She had a few theories and helped Nico through his thinking process but other then that this call really wasn't good for anything other than Nico being able to talk to his sister.
"Fine really. Like I said everythings going smoothly haven't seen anything odd." She gave a small shrug.
"I think I might IM Percy." Nico sighed thoughtfully.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. I, uh, want to talk to him about something."
"Liiiiiike?"
"Eh, I'll talk to him soon, I'll tell you later. Bye, Love ya." Nico quickly ran his hand through the IM cutting off the connection. Nico hadn't been truly alone like this since he started at hogwarts. It was very relieving. Nico was so use to being alone that it was nice to be back with his own thoughts. But there was one down side his thoughts were often plagued by none other the Fred Weasley himself. Nico really didn't understand him. Nico has only ever had a crush on one person before and that was Percy. And oh boy was that a confusing time for Nico, and a very frustrating one! Nico had somewhat got over Percy but he would always be special to Nico for many reasons. Percy had been had been nice to Nico even when he was a super annoying ten year old and honestly how did anyone put up with Nico at that time. Percy was always Nico's first love or even the first person for Nico to have feelings for at all. And Percy was always nice to him no matter what they went through. Percy was nice to Nico when Nico hated him, he was nice to him after his dip in the river styx, he was nice even when Hades locked him up trying to make Nico the prophecy kid, and he was incredibly sweet when he he found out about Nico's crush on him. Percy was a nice person, a way too nice person Nico honestly didn't understand him. Percy had been almost disappointed in himself for not liking Nico back, which is just so Percy. Annabeth had been incredibly nice and understanding as well and as much as Nico always thought he'd never fit in he felt-for that moment in time-like he someone loved him. Nico and grabbed his backpack off the floor and sat it on the bed in front of him. opened the small pocket at the top that held small things. He pulled out his old mythomagic cards. He smiled sadly thinking back to when he was ten. Things were so simple back then. He was just a kid not the scary son of hades. He thought the myths of the world where just that, myths. He use to wish they were real. That he and Bianca could live in a world made of myths and legends and they could face the world together, fighting side by side. When he found out the truth that everything was real he couldn't be happier. And then his sister died and that's when he woke up and had to stop being a kid. When he realised she was gone and everything was real and horrible. Nico wished all of it was just a myth and that he didn't existed and neither did all the crazy stuff that came along with him. Nico sighed and stuffed the cards back into the bag. Nico got up and went to the bathroom to set up for another Iris Message.
"Thanks Perce, for taking the call and, uh, talking to me and all." Percy grinned and Nico rolled his eyes, that boy was way too happy for someone that went through all the wars he did.
"Of course Nico. I wish you'd call more!"
"Yeah, I'll try Perce." Nico smiled and shook his head.
"So, hows that quest going?"
"Long." Percy chuckled.
"I'm sorry." Nico heard the sounds of a door opening and he recognised Annabeth's voice calling to Percy that she was home.
"Annabeth! Nico IM'd me come say hi!" A moment later Annabeth was sitting next to Percy.
"Hi Nico." She gave him a small smile.
"Hey Annabeth."
"Hows the quest?" She asked.
"Long." Nico and Percy said at the same time making the three of them chuckle.
"Meet anyone interesting." Nico's thoughts when right to Fred and flushed red. What. The. Fuck.
"Ooh, Nico you're blushing!" Annabeth gave him a wicked grin and Percy looked confused. "Do tell. A guy I'm guessing." It wasn't a question
"Shut up Annabeth."
"Aw come on Nico open up a little bit! You know you want too!"
"Eh, I'll, uh call you later." Nico quickly ended the call. Nico walked back into the bedroom and pulled out his sword and knife strapping them to his belt. Nico couldn't help but think about how much him and Annabeth were actually like. They both had liked the same boy at one point so there's that. But he thought about how Annabeth had to fight for people to see her as smart and brave and strong. Nico always felt like he had to prove himself. And she wanted to help the people she loved, Nico generally did his helping in secret but you know whatever same thing. And they wanted to love someone and have someone love them but they didn't want people to see them as weak for loving someone. Nico pulled on a black hoodie over his black skull t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Nico zipped up the hoodie and shoved on his black converse. Nico flipped up the hood to hide his eyes and he walked out of his room backpack slung over his shoulder. Nico had to keep moving so he didn't lose Andromeda's tail. And he really wanted to forget about his feelings and thoughts and fight some monsters so he could feel like his self again.
