A/N: Sorry about the late update. I forgot. I'm just busy. It's my sophomore year, and I have more homework now. I also get home later, and am usually exhausted by the time I get home. I'll try to update either Sundays, Mondays, or Tuesdays. Hopefully I remember within those three days. If not, sorry.


"It's honestly nothing personal." Elsa babbled to Nico; tripping over her words in her haste to get them out and her ideas across. "I'm serious Nico; it isn't personal at all. You are and always will be my best friend, and the brother I never had. You've been there for me the whole time since we reunited. I'm not forgetting that; I just need… I just need to do this. I need to get this. You understand, right?" She bit her lip. She was trying to tell him that she was going to spend less time with him because she was becoming friends (and hopefully later on lovers) with Calypso.

"Elsa, I understand." Nico assured her, amused. "It's fine. I get it. You need to do this. It's important to you. I'm not going to judge you. You've been waiting for this ever since Aphrodite told you that she would send someone for you. Ever since then, whenever you found someone attractive, you'd freak and question if what you were feeling was love, or if you were just imagining things." Elsa covered her face, blushing

"Please don't remind me of that." She requested through her hands. "I was desperate, and didn't know what it was like to actually have feelings for someone, okay?"

"I know." He reminded her. "I'm not judging you. I'm just pointing out that I'm totally okay with you spending more time with Calypso. This could take a while, so it's best to get an early start. You have a time limit. I don't. I'll never understand what it's like for you to be under such stress with your time limit. I mean… Elsa…" Nico took Elsa's hand. "I believe in you. You can unfreeze your heart. Do whatever you have to do. You deserve this. You've earned it." She smiled, and hugged him.

"Thank you, Nico." She murmured into his ear. "I'm still sorry that I'm not going to be able spend as much time with you anymore. I'll do my best to though."

"Elsa, as I've said, I understand." Nico reminded her patiently. "Do whatever you need to do for this." He pulled away and cupped Elsa's face in his hands. "You've got this, okay? You can do this, Elsa. I believe in you." She smiled and he kissed her forehead.

"You're the best friend I could ever ask for." Elsa informed him. "You're the brother I never had, actually."

"And you're the sister I never had." Nico replied. "Anyway, since you are busy working on the unfreezing your heart, I think I'll do the same… Go to Camp Jupiter… Hang with Reyna… Hopefully Percy too… I kind of screwed everything up though." Elsa smirked.

"'You're cute, but not my type.'" She mimicked. He'd told her what happened. "Nice one, Nico. Nice."

"I know." Nico grinned sheepishly. "But that was before I was given back my memories, okay? I didn't know about my frozen heart…"

"And you thought you actually wanted to date Will." Elsa teased. She was getting a kick out of this.

"He was the first person that told me to wake up, okay? I think we all need that one friend who doesn't just comfort you the way we comfort each other. Will puts things into perspective. He's a good friend." Nico shrugged. "But I have to admit; he's a little too pushy to date. I like people who are more laid back and relaxed. Even if you were a guy, you wouldn't be my type. Don't take this the wrong way, and I'm pretty sure it's because of your upbringing, but you're too uptight. Too… Formal. We're good friends, so you relax around me, but in a relationship, I'm pretty sure you'd calculate every move, and be too afraid of screwing up. Well, that's how I think you and I would be in a romantic relationship anyway." Nico shuddered. "Ugh… That was weird. It felt like I was talking about dating Hazel or Bianca."

"You wouldn't be my type either." Elsa deadpanned. "I want someone soft and gentle, but someone who can stand up and say enough is enough. Someone sweet. Someone kind, but strong. I don't think you exactly fit that description. You're too intense. I've wanted someone like that since before I met Calypso, bear in mind. You're too rough and hardened for me. I'm hardened enough for both me and anyone else. I don't need nor want someone who has had to harden up to survive. I want someone down to earth to pull me back when I need it."

"Sounds about right." Nico nodded. "We both want someone kind of opposite from ourselves, but not someone so unlike ourselves that we couldn't ever get along. We want someone different but the same, I guess. You and me are the same, but different. Not enough differences for us to ever date."

"Also; a crucial factor in why we couldn't possibly be a good couple is because we both identify as homosexual." Elsa added. "This heteronormative society has begun to get to me; everybody thinks that just because we are an unrelated teenage boy and girl who like to spend time with each other, that we are a couple. They probably also think that we would be a good couple if they didn't understand that we have no interest in dating due to wanting things that the other doesn't have."

"Not to be rude, but can we get off this subject before we weird me out too much?" Nico requested. "And the subject of our not-so spectacular love lives? We're just going to depress ourselves."

"Alright." Elsa agreed. "Sounds like a good idea. Also, there's something I wanted to talk to you about." Nico raised an eyebrow.

"What's up?" He asked. "How important is it?"

"I was thinking of asking you to go with me back to Arendelle on a discreet visit." Elsa murmured. "You know… To see how everything is… Perhaps see Anna… But I highly doubt we will be able to. She's the crown princess now. Because I ran away, they will have her on a very short leash."

"When would you want to go?" Nico inquired.

"I don't know…" Elsa shrugged. "Perhaps in a few weeks. I'll let you know when I have a date in mind." She looked, to Nico, a bit apprehensive about possibly going back to Arendelle. After all, she was supposed to never come back if she left the boundaries; that was one of the rules. But Elsa could possibly be considered a visiting queen. Also, she was immortal; destined to become a goddess by her eighteenth birthday. Basically, Elsa could do pretty much what she wanted. Because of who she was as a person, she wouldn't be limited very much, because she liked to play by the rules.

"Okay." Nico replied.

The two were in Nico's cabin for privacy in the conversation. Most people knew that when they were in there together, or in Elsa's room, nothing inappropriate was going on. If someone inquired about them and if they were a couple, people who had been there for a while would automatically know that this person was new to Camp.

"What do you want to do now?" Elsa asked, realizing that she had no ideas on what she wanted to do.

"Do you feel like doing a duel?" Nico grimaced. "Because I don't. I really don't feel like doing anything today." It was still morning.

"Why don't you go talk to Percy, while I get some work done for the youth center? There's probably some paperwork or something. I've also got to work on who I'm going to hand it off to." Elsa suggested.

"Elsa, you're such a liar." Nico rolled his eyes, sitting down on his bed. "We both know that you don't have anything do to involving the youth center. I'm pretty sure you're just going to try to research how to flirt subtly, and see if a girl likes you." Elsa looked sheepish.

"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you can see right through me." She remarked. "We know each other well enough. Anyway, I was lying. You caught me in the act."

"If you want, we could research together." Nico suggested. "Or rather, you use the computer and we both read off of it."

"Sounds like a plan." She replied. "Come on Nico. Hopefully the internet will be able to help us."


Long story short, Elsa felt the need to clear the internet history. She wasn't openly gay, so she really want to have '17 Lesbian Flirting Tips' in the browser history. For Nico, the research didn't really help. However, for Elsa it did.

Later, she composed a plan of how she was going to talk to—and ultimately flirt with—Calypso. Elsa's only hope was that it would go alright. Because if it didn't… Well, she didn't want to think about that.


A/N: So... Tomorrow I'm going to ask my crush if she likes me back... I know... A year later. Whatever. Anyway, please wish me luck.
