Hey guys, sorry for the lack of update in a while, but I've been really sick these past few days and have had a lot of stuff going on with school. So, here's an update, requested by Beeimahalfblood, who wanted Jason introducing Nico as his boyfriend to his father and sister. This was not written by me, but actually by my friend Tumbling-into-oblivion. Enjoy, requests are open!

Jason fidgeted with his tie nervously as they rose in the elevator to Olympus.

"If you don't want to do this yet, we can wait," Nico reminded him as he took Jason's much larger hands in his own.

Jason shivered when Nico rubbed his thumbs soothingly over the backs of his hands but still replied, "Nico, if I don't do this now, I have no idea when my sister or my father will stand each other to be in the same place again. It's now or never."

Nico nodded and swallowed hard. Honestly, he was horrified at the idea of meeting Jason's dad. Of course, he had before, but not in the context of being Jason's boyfriend.

When the elevator stopped, Jason was sure his stomach hadn't; he eyed the garden of lilies in front of them warily. "You need a minute?" Nico asked, having noticed Jason's exchange with the lilies.

"If you puke," Nico continued, "I'll hold back your hair."

Jason laughed at the ridiculous notion. "Thanks, you always know what to say."

A blush crept onto Nico's face. "And that's why you love me," Nico finally said. Jason leaned down and gave him a quick peck on the lips before he leaned on the door to enter the throne room. Somehow, the action was lost on the other two occupants of the room, as they continued to talk.

"It's nice he's finally letting us meet her," Thalia said as she played with the Ophiotaurus in the corner. It was the same one that had caused her quite a problem on a quest several years earlier.

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Zeus mused from his perch on his throne.

"What do you mean?" Thalia said.

"Well, you'd think we would have met her by now. They've been dating a long time now, haven't they?" Zeus said.

"You didn't tell them I was a guy?" Nico whispered to Jason furiously.

"I wanted it to be a… surprise," Jason muttered.

"Oh, it's going to be a surprise alright," Nico spat. He wanted to yell, he really did, but he needed a moment to get his bearings before they had the hard conversation to come.

Jason cleared his throat next to him to get his family's attention, however unwanted it was to Nico.

"Father, Thalia," Jason greeted warmly as they moved farther into the throne room. Nico tried his best not to cower under the piercing eyes of the Lord of the Sky.

"What is the meaning of this?" Zeus questioned as he looked down on them. It was rather fitting, considering he looked down on everyone, the other gods included.

"Dad, Nico is my…"

"Boyfriend," Nico boldly finished for him. The glare Zeus had aimed at the small boy was enough to make him shiver in discomfort. Zeus remained silent for a long time and it gave Nico plenty of time to completely freak out. This was such a bad idea, Nico thought as he stood there. He also noted how vulnerable they looked as they stood at the base of the massive throne. Cautiously, he reached out and took Jason's hand to calm his nerves, quite aware that Zeus's eyes had followed his every movement.

"This is true?" Zeus finally asked Jason. Thalia stood in shock next to her father, but chose to remain silent.

"Yes," Jason said, "It is."

"Jason," Zeus sighed, "I am so disappointed in you." Nico's world seemed to crash down around him- he know how much Jason wanted his father's approval.

"I raised you better than this."

"Father," Jason protested, but he was cut off again by Zeus.

"Honestly, a son of Hades? I taught you to have better taste than that," Zeus scolded.

"Dad, it's not a big deal that I like… wait what?"

"A son of Hades? Honestly, it's like you not even my son," Zeus teased, "Why, what did you think I meant?"

"I thought the problem was that I was dating a boy," Jason muttered. Meanwhile Nico had let out a huge sigh of relief.

"You thought I had a problem with you dating a boy?!" Zeus roared with laughter at the mere notion.

"I myself have been known to play for the other team- hell you're sister's practically in a lesbian cult!"

Thalia who had been quiet up until this point tried to defend herself, "You get caught fraternizing with another hunter one time…"Jason howled in laughter.

This had gone much better than he thought.
