A satyr led a young demi-god with blonde spiky hair and blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds through the woods, on their way to Camp Half-blood. The boy was a son of Apollo, and he really didn't know what that meant. He was confused. and scared. The guy leading him was half-goat, which was wierd, and he wanted to make some kind of snide comment, but the pre-teen boy knew better. This goatman had helped him kill the monster, and had promised him sanctity if he went with him. Besides, there were worse things out there. Like, for instance, homosexuals. He prayed to the gods there weren't any at this strange "camp."

He was wrong.

As soon as he walked into the camp, he saw two boys kissing. One had blonde hair and fair skin, the other, dark hair and an olive complexion. He looked at them, repulsed.

The satyr noticed. "Yeah, it's a suprising thing. We didn't even know any demi-gods could be gay, but there a cute couple." Could he not see what the boy did. Oblivious souls.

"Homo's are weird. I'd rather be killed by the monster." The satyr was shocked. He couldn't believe the boy had seriously just said that. He watched the boy turn back to Nico and Conner. "Quit kissing, you f*gg*ts." The satyr's jaw dropped. Wasn't this boy only 12? Where did he learn to be mean and nasty like that? It wasn't like he was a kid of Ares. He was Apollo's son.

Nico and Connor stood in silence until the boy left before Nico turned to Connor. "You said they would accept us. You lied to me." Connor opened his mouth to speak, but Nico ran off before he could. He sighed. He knew that Hades kids had the "Holding Grudges" fatal flaw. When you got one of them angry, it was hard to get back on their good side. He knew he was on thin ice. 'Who was this ####### who had offended them?' That guy was going to pay!

Connor headed to the Hermes cabin, pissed. He slammed the door hard. Travis looked up from the couch where he was cuddled up with Katie.

"What's wrong, bro?"

"My f*cking boyfriend, that's what's f*cking wrong, ######." Travis widened his eyes, surprised. He never heard his brother use such vulgar language.

"Connor calm down, please. What happened? What did Nico do?"

"Nico didn't do anything, but the dick who assaulted us sure did."

"Who was it?" asked Katie. She wanted to make that person wish they had never been born. How dare they‽

"I don't know. Some blonde kid. He looked younger than Nico."

"Well, when we find out who it is, "Travis said. "Let's prank his sorry ###." Connor laughed. So did Katie.

"Nico ran off when he said that." Connor informed them.

"Well, what are you doing here? Go comfort him." Travis said, pushing his brother out the door. Outside the cabin, Connor sighed. Maybe his brother was right. He started to walk to the Hades cabin, scared as hell.

On the way there, he ran into Chiron and the blonde boy from earlier. "So Brian, those were all the cabins and places you need to know. Oh look, there's Connor. Maybe you two can bond?" The boy put on a disgusted face. Chiron whispered something into the boy's ear.

"So Brian, those were all the cabins and places you need to know. Oh look, there's Connor. Maybe you two can bond?" Chiron said to the boy. Brian sneered. The queer from earlier. Yuck! Chiron leaned down to murmur in Brian's ear. "He's less likely to prank you then."

Connor ran off, not wanting to "Bond" with a boy who called him that word. He was not a stick. He went a different path to get to Nico's cabin.

Inside his cabin, Nico fumed. Who was that vile kid that insulted him. He wished he was able to send people to hell, or more commonly referred to in his world as Hades; the ninth layer becoming Tartarus. Unfortunately, the only thing he could do was send monsters there. It was a nice thing to be able to do when fighting. But sometimes, he really wanted to be able to do it to other demigods, and Persephone, but seeing as she'll already lived there, he didn't know how that was going to work.

He heard a knock. "Nico. It's me. Connor." Nico sighed. He really didn't want to talk to him, but he loved him with all his heart. It was hard to hate someone when you loved them. Besides, he insulted Connor too, running off like that. He was no better than the boy. He knew his boyfriend was hurting because of all of it. The guilt made him feel sick.

Nico was amazed. He had really grown up since he was 10. "Come in." He said. Connor opened the door and walked to Nico's side. One of the Apollo kids following him.

As Connor approached the dark cabin, he started to feel nervous. What if he didn't want to talk to him. Or worse, what if he wanted to break up? Kyle, one of the Apollo kids, stopped him.

"I saw everything. Music always helps. How about you sing to him?"

"Really? Seriously? That will just make me even more of a—"

"Stop it. You are not, and will never be. Are you a frigging stick? Now, I'm doing this for Jake and Nyssa too, because they have a secret they want to tell people. All you've got to do is say yes."

"What is it?" Connor asked.

"I write a song verse, and you sing it for the entire camp. I've already wrote Jake and Nyssa's. Maybe we will make it all one whole song?"

"Yes." Connor said, hoping the lyrics wouldn't be too... girly.

Nico sat, listening to his boyfriend and the Apollo kid explain what they were going to do. He liked the idea. When he said so, he and Connor sat watching Kyle do his thing, or more precisely, his father's thing, which he inherited. There wasn't really anything to watch though. The boy was really good at writing lyrics.

3 days later the pair got up in front of the entire camp. Kyle and his girlfriend Heather, daughter of Hecate had worked together to make a potion to make the pair better singers. Connor opened his mouth to sing the first line, staring right at Brian.

"He drives down the open road

to the place they secretly go

They go there for a safe place

Where they can, freely suck face."

Nico sang the next part:

"Even though they know, people think it's wrong

They can't hold back the feelings they've had for so long

Their love will find a way,

even if the town don't accept gays"

Connor joined back in, singing this time with Nico:

"The devil don't want them 'cause they're not bad,

quit telling them to go to his land

The dirt don't want them, neither do graves

keep doing what you do, and they can't be saved

Don't you realize,

love can be between two girls or two guys?"

Jake stood up from where he sat amoungst the crowd, starting his part. "

"They live in the exact same home,

The boy lets his eyes roam.

They meet hers, the love of his life,

The girl he's not allowed to take as his wife."

Nyssa sang the next part:

"Even though they know, people think it's wrong,

They can't fight the feelings they've held back for so long

Their love will find a way,

Even though they have the same—"

"Enough!" Brian yelled, standing up and storming off. "I'm f*cking out of here. You're all gay, lame, and you can all just drop dead. You're better off that way?"
