Blugh, my stomach hurts… And I'm having one of those days where no matter what I wear, its not comfortable… So yea.
To say it wasn't awkward when Nico showed up on the first day of Camp was an understatement. Children of Hades had never been generally accepted. They just weren't. Nico just shrugged it all off though.
And the fact that Hades stood just behind him, didn't exactly help. It wasn't like any of the other Demi-Gods had the privilege to live with their godly parent during the summer, so maybe they were jealous…
Hades put a hand on Nico's shoulder and chuckled quietly.
"Don't worry, Nicky. This is the exact same response I get when I show up on Olympus for the Solstice." He whispered. Nico grimaced.
"Don't call me Nicky; You know I hate that." Nico scolded.
Hades shrugged. "Meh. Come on, lets go to your cabin, I haven't gotten a chance to see it yet."
Nico sighed and nodded, slinging his brown canvas backpack over his shoulder, straightened his leather jacket a bit, and stepped across the border, his red leather boots silently ghosting across the grass. Hades followed behind him, looking around, amused. He hadn't been to camp in quite a while. All the looks his son was receiving, even with Hades at his side, was almost appalling.
He glared at anyone who dared make eye-contact. Hades contemplated leaving a trail of dying grass where he walked, but figured that make Dionysus pissy. When they reached the Hades cabin, Hades' jaw dropped. He couldn't have designed it better himself.
It was just so perfect. It was styled like a tall, narrow Victorian house, and placed in the middle of all the other, extremely over-themed buildings, it stood out sharply. Everything was black and the light that glowed through the windows was green, light Greek fire. A purple smoke seemed to hang around the house, just like the purple haze in the Underworld. Hades loved it immediately. Nico laughed at the look of awe on his boyfriends face. Hades glared down at him half-heartedly, then went back to staring at the house. Nico laughed again and walked up the porch steps, just as Percy ran out the door. Nico got knocked backwards and was sure he was going to fall, but Hades lunged forward and caught him in his arms easily. Percy jerked backwards and made a funnily surprised face.
"Nico!…and…Hades?" He seemed happy at first, but then confused. Nico laughed and Hades set him down. Percy hugged Nico quickly.
"It's really good to see ya, kid, but I have to go find Dionysus to…uh…talk…" Percy finished lamely, glancing awkwardly over his shoulder, away from Nic's eyes.
"Wait, Perce…Why were you in my cabin?…" Nico asked.
"I was just dropping off the new armor that the guys over in the Hephaestus cabin made for you." Percy explained, already edging away from them. Hades and Nico shrugged, and raced each other into the cabin. The inside was just as amazing as the outside. Hades looked down at Nico as the youth stretched his arms over his head.
"So…Where's the bedroom?" Hades tried to ask nonchalantly. Nico gave him a dead-panned look but smiled when Hades pouted.
"Not like that… I just want to make-out comfortably." Hades laughed. Nico smiled sweetly and grabbed Hades' hand. He lead him towards a flight of black iron, spiral stairs. Hades decided the bedroom was the best thing about the house.
So yea. PLEASEEEEE REVIEWWWWW. PLZ.
