Nico hopped out of his new black jeep. That was all he knew about it, it was new, it was black, it was a jeep and it was his. That was it, except apparently Percy was RICH!

He didn't want to go to school; he really did not like school. He was the weird kid, he didn't get along with anyone for the most part. Also, as he was a son of Hades, Nico tended to creep living things out.

But he guessed Chiron had a reason for sending Nico and Percy to school, as much as he hated it, Chiron didn't do anything without a reason. Percy was so lucky, why didn't he go to the hospital? Right, it was Percy's crush.

Nico looked at the school with as much enthusiasm as possible, absolutely nothing, and as much disgust as possible, a whole lot.

"What did school do to deserve that look?" a male voice asked from behind him, Nico assumed it was to him, as he couldn't see anyone else looking at the school with such a repellent look.

Nico turned and he could feel his breath trying to be taken away. Oh, he hoped to Eros, the man was gay or bi at least.

"Ah," Nico had no idea what to say. "I don't like it?" Nico said, though it was more of a question.

Danny raised his eyebrows, and Nico's mind just kept saying that it was so cute and kept replaying it in his mind. "If you have to ask a question to answer a question, I take it you're just someone who loathes school?"

Nico smiled sheepishly, "Ah, yeah. I've never liked school, I was an outcast, and I haven't been to school in like 6 years."

"So you're new, aren't you the guy who beat up Jackson?" Danny asked.

Nico blinked, he was confused, "Who? I only beat up some arrogant jerk. Was that Jackson?"

"Yeah," Danny replied. Nico shrugged, he didn't care.

"Ah, could you show me where the office is, I have to enroll," Nico said the word 'enroll' like it was poison on his tongue.

"Sure, it's this way." Danny and Nico walked in a comfortable silence. This was confusing for Nico, as it normally took him a while to be able to be around someone with a conformable silence. The fastest was with Will, and he really didn't want to think about that. Was a month too soon to start moving on?

He had no idea. He needed a reference, who did he know that had broken up after being in a long relationship? Annabeth and Thalia with Luke, and that didn't count because it was a different kind of relationship. Actually now that he thought about it he had no idea what the handsome teen's name was.

"We never introduced ourselves, I'm Nico Di Angelo."

Danny smiled, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you Nico."

"Well I guess there's a first time for everything," Nico stated. No one had ever said pleasure to meet him before.

"I find that hard to believe," Danny said. Nico felt himself start to blush. Gods damn Aphrodite, Nico was positive the goddess of love had something to do with his blushing, or maybe he just wished she was interfering.

"There's the office," Danny said pointing to a door, "I got a free period first up, so if you want I could wait here and show you around?" Danny offered.

"Ah, sure, ah… yeah, I guess. I'm going to just…" Nico fast walked into the office, slamming the door behind him.

Danny smiled, "Nice ass," he said to himself.

Because of his enhanced hearing, Nico heard, and blushed. The son of Hades, had no idea why the Zeus he was acting like this. He wasn't Percy, he wasn't a virgin, or anything, yeah, definitely Aphrodite's fault he concluded.

Out the front of the school, walking towards them was Scott and Stiles.

"So Percy and Lydia were still asleep when you visited this morning, so what?" Scott asked.

"That's not the point. He moved the chair from outside her room, to next to her bed," Stiles said.

"So?" Scott asked.

Stiles sighed, "He was right next to her, they were practically sleeping together." Scott just laughed a little at his best friend.

"It's not funny!" Stiles exclaimed, "How would you like it if it was Allison in the hospital, and some mysterious guy you knew almost nothing about did that? What you did know about him was that he's the Nephew of a PSYCHOPATH, the brother of a dick, and an alpha, so you know he's a killer."

Ok, Scott would admit Stiles had good point. "Ok, you have a point. On the other hnad he didn't seem like he was here to cause trouble, he lead the hunters away from Derek and myself. He helped us find Lydia when I lost track of her. He worked out what Lydia was, and he's going to tell her. He doesn't seem to be looking for trouble."

"Yes, but if he knows what she is, why won't he tell us? Wouldn't it be easier and better for her to hear it from her friends?"

"Maybe he wants to tell Lydia first," Scott suggested, "On the other hand it might actually be harder for Lydia to hear that her friends have been lying to her for months. Especially considering she… you know, made out with a werewolf, which might freak her out. And for all you know, finding out the Percy's a werewolf might make Lydia no longer attracted to him."

"I like that," Stiles smiled, "However, it might make her more attracted to him. You know that bad boy dangerous forbidden vibe that girls apparently like, you and Allison for example."

"What about Scott and myself?" Allison asked as she walked up to and kissed her boyfriend's cheek, "Hey."

"Stiles is freaking out over Percy and Lydia, apparently Percy moved the chair he fell asleep on next to Lydia's bed."

"They're practically cuddling," Stiles clarified his paranoia. "Like the only way for him to get closer to her is to cuddle with her."

"He could always straddle her," Alison suggested, the fact that her face was the picture of innocence didn't help.

Stiles frowned at Alison, "That's not funny."

"It's a little bit funny," Scott said with a slight chuckle.

"Anyway, what does that have to do with me and you?" Alison asked the werewolf.

"That led to why Percy won't tell us what Lydia is. Would it be better for her to hear the truth from us? I said finding out that Percy was a werewolf might make Lydia less attracted to him. Stiles however thinks that Percy being a werewolf will make him more attractive, because the bad boy dangerous forbidden vibe he might give off, and gave us as an example."

Allison nodded, "My guess is that Percy wants Lydia to know the whole truth, and I also don't think he trust us to tell her everything. We did hide the truth, and we don't know what she is, it could be something really bad. Like even worse than a werewolf."

She dearly hoped that wasn't true. Having to deal with bloodlust every full moon wasn't easy, any supernatural being that was worse would be disastrous.

"As far as telling the truth to Lydia goes I would prefer us telling her, but seeing as we don't know what she is, telling her the truth without being able to tell her what she is, sounds kind of depressing. Better for her to find out the truth along with what she is," Allison explained.

Then came the crux of the matter as Allison answered, "As for the attraction, Even if it didn't make her more into him, I don't think Percy being a werewolf would really affect her. However, I agree with Stiles, being a werewolf will definitely make Lydia more attracted to him."

"That's not what I wanted to hear," Stiles said. Great and he hoped the dance would bring him and Lydia closer together. "Also let us not forget, serial killer psychotic uncle, brother is a giant dick, and a killer. And who else is a killer? Right, the Alpha himself, Percy."

"Ok, all good points," Alison said. "We also know who you wanted to grow up to be like," she smirked at him, Scott laughed, and Stiles growled.

"Maybe we should ask Nico about him?" Alison suggested, Scott and Stiles just looked at her. "Nico is Percy's cousin, I saw him go in earlier with Danny."

"Well I hope he can control his temper," Scott said.

"This is the history classroom, and since this is your class and the bell is about to go, this is the end of the tour… at this point." Nico smiled.

"Well I'm glad the tour's not ending yet," Nico smiled.

"Me, too, hey Nico, you like bowling?" Danny asked.

Nico shrugged, "No idea, never done it before, but if you're offering to teach me, then I guess it sounds like fun."

"Ah, cool, we can go after school, like at nine, I have a shift," Danny said.

"Sounds fun, oh, do you think we could bring Lydia? My cousin totally has a crush on her, and he hasn't had a girlfriend in… like two and a half years," Nico looked at Danny with his puppy dog eyes, and face.

"Well, I guess. But Lydia's in the hospital," Danny said. He would have preferred to be alone but that face was too adorable to deny.

"Eh, I'll break her out, don't tell anyone. I'll see you at nine," Nico said.

"Where?" Nico asked, right after realizing he had no idea where they were supposed to meet. Danny pulled out a pen and wrote down the place, and his phone number.

"Your phone number is waste of time, I don't use phones, they don't like me," Nico said. "But I guess if they start liking me it would be a good idea to have it."

Danny smiled, "See you tonight," he said as he walked away.

Nico was waiting for the teacher when the bell rang as Scott, Allison and Stiles walked into the classroom and up to Nico when they saw him. Nico just looked at the trio.

"Who are you?" Nico asked, he knew none of their names, just that wolf boy had fought Percy and that was it. Also the girl smelled of sunshine, Nico grimaced, the smell irritated him now, stupid ex-boyfriend.

"I'm Alison, this is Scott, and that's Stiles," Alison introduced herself and the other two. Nico laughed at Stiles' name.

"Stiles, really?" he asked.

"Yes, its better than my real name," Stiles said. Nico didn't want to know what his real name was, actually he did, he was curious.

"Can we ask you about Percy?" Alison asked.

"Ask away, I'll answer any of the non-serious or small personal questions."

"Ah, how long has he been an Alpha?" Stiles asked.

"Five years, give a bit."

"He was fourteen, when he first killed?" Scott asked.

"No, he was fourteen when he became an Alpha."

"When did he first kill?" Alison asked. Nico didn't reply, so that was a big question? "Why won't he tell us what Lydia is?"

"Because he believes it should be up to Lydia who knows what she is. Besides Lydia, Percy and I, the only person who knows what Lydia is one of Percy's best friends, who helped me work it out."

"How many wolves are in Percy's pack?" Stiles asked

"One," Nico answered, that was the easiest question they had asked so far.

"So you're his only pack member?" Scott asked.

"Only were beside himself," Nico stated. Stiles found that a curious response.

"Why is Percy interested in Lydia?" Allison asked.

"She's gorgeous and intelligent?" Nico said unsure of the actual answer. "She was a bit prideful and narcissist during my encounter with her. But given how she was naked in the woods I'll give her the benefit of the doubt."

"What are you?" Stiles asked, Scott and Alison looked at him in confusion and Nico raised an eyebrow. "You said Percy had one wolf in his pack, then you said were the only were in his pack. So I take that to mean the only wolf in Percy's pack is Percy himself, and you're a were, but you not a wolf. What are you?"

Nico clapped slowly in praise, "You're quiet smart, you are correct, the only wolf in his pack is himself. I'm a Werecoyote. If it helps the only difference between us are the full animal transformations. Just for that I give you the last question."

"Make it a good one Stiles," Alison said.

Stiles thought for a minute for a good question, they could not waste this opportunity.

"I'm getting a gay vibe from you so… do you think I'm attractive?" Stiles asked. Nico smiled and laughed at Stiles. Scott and Alison couldn't believe that Stiles wasted their last question on that. Actually, Scott did.

"Yes, I'm gay. And yes Stiles are HOT! But I'm not interested in you like that. Also, I have a double date tonight," Nico said. The coyote patted Stiles' cheek, "Sorry."

The bell rang and the teacher walked in.

"Sit down," he said as he started writing on the black board and the trio went to their seats.

Later after school ended Nico went to the hospital.

Nico opened the door to Lydia's room, and was surprised to see Percy and Lydia sitting across from each other playing chess, and it appeared Percy was getting his ass handed to him on a Olympus sized platter.

"Hey, Nico, come play it's so much fun," Percy's voice dripped with sarcasm, "So fun."

"I'll pass," Nico said as he looked at Percy, the smell, those were the clothes he had had on yesterday. He hadn't been home to change. Unhygienic, being the son of Poseidon didn't give you permission not to bathe.

"You need to bathe and change, you have a date," Nico said as he sat on the end of Lydia's bed.

"WHAT?" Percy smashed his hand thru the chessboard and table. Lydia jumped back in freight.

"Sorry," Percy said as he picked up the broken wooden pieces.

"Yes, a double date; Danny and myself, and you two."

"Oh, really," Lydia said. "And what makes you I want a date with him?" she asked.

"You practically flashed him when you first met, before you even knew his name," Nico pointed out dryly.

"Good point," Lydia admitted. "So are you the son of a god as well?" She asked.

Nico nodded, it didn't surprise him that Percy didn't tell Lydia about him. Percy believed you had the right to decide who knew what about you. The only exception was in life-or-death situations, and they had a lot of those.

"Yeah, son of Hades."

"The god of the underworld, and wealth?" she asked. Nico was shocked to say the least, most people called his father the god death, which was incorrect.

"I'm surprised you got that right, anyway the date's at nine, so…" Nico waved his and Percy disappeared into shadows. Lydia jumped backwards out of her chair, and looked between where Percy was, and Nico.

"What the holy hell was that?" she asked Nico.

"Shadow travel, I can use the shadows to transport myself, or others. Don't worry its fine, I only sent him home. Do you have clothes for a date here?"

"Well considering I'm in a hospital, I wasn't expecting to go out, so no." Nico smiled, she didn't seem so bad now, he guessed they would see.

"Well your friends, Alison and the others are coming up, and I'm going to go. Send them to pick it up, and could you not tell them about the half god thing?"

"Yeah, I already promised your cousin that, also not to tell them about the fact that he's a true alpha."

Nico nodded his thanks, "We'll break you out at eight thirty see ya."

Nico dissolved into the shadows as the elevator arrived on Lydia's floor.
