Today was the day. Nico had dragged the Seven into his cabin without warning and told them to sit. Nobody knew except for Jason that he was gay so this would be quite a big surprise. He knew that Hazel suspected it. He sat down on his bed next to Hazel bringing his knees up to his chest.

"What is this all about Di Angelo?" Percy asked curiously.

"I-I wanted to play a song for you guys..." He said his voice wavering. Leo rolled his eyes.

"This is what you dragged us in here for?" Nico cringed but nodded.

"Alright then hurry up," Annabeth said exasperatedly. Nico nodded and pulled out his phone and clicked play on it. 

(Play the song)

Two little boys

Met each other on the playground
Just like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd
But between themselves
They knew that they were different
But they pushed it down
'Cause nobody would even listen

Their parents always saying
"Boy when you grow up
You're gonna find a nice lady
make sure you act tough.
You'll be living a life
like Barbie and Ken
Cmon suck it up and
Forget this nonsense."

What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?

Why should he have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slipping?

We can love who we want to

Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken not Barbie
He doesn't have to say sorry

No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone, ohh ohh

Seventeen years old
Feeling like a stranger at home
Keeping his head down low
Hideaway so that nobody will know
Avoiding mom and dad
When they're asking
"Who's your girlfriend?"
'Cause lord forbid they see
His true identity

His parents always saying
"Boy when will you see
You'll be happy I know
It's just a woman you need
You'll be such a great Ken
Just gotta find your Barbie
Make sure you act like a man
It's what you're born to be"

What if he wants Ken, not Barbie?

Why should he have to say sorry?
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slipping?

We can love who we want to

Don't say he's not supposed to
If he loves Ken not Barbie
He doesn't have to say sorry

No, not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyo-o-one


No, No
He doesn't have to say sorry
No, No
He's never gonna say sorry

He always wanted Ken not Barbie
He never ever has to say sorry
And nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit, you're slipping
We can love who we want to
Don't say he's not supposed to
He'll always loved Ken, not Barbie
And he doesn't have to say sorry
To you

Everyone sat still, confused. 

"D-Do you guys get it?" He asked timidly. A look of realization dawned on Hazel's face. 

"I KNEW IT," Hazel shouted happily "Nico, I'm so proud of you!!" A grin spending on her face as she launched herself at him, he smiled, happy that someone got it. Hazel was still attached to Nico when the others realized what the song meant. There was a chorus of "Ohhhhs" and " Congrats Dude!!" and one "That's what you meant when you said I wasn't your type!" you can probably guess who that was from. Hazel kissed his cheek, wrapping her arms around him again.

"Death Boy how long have you known?" Piper asked 

"Um, since I was 7..." 

Piper, Annabeth's, and Hazel's jaws all dropped.

"You kept it a secret for... how many years, your 16 now-"

"If you count the years that I wasn't in the Lotus Hotel and Casino then 9, but if you are counting them, about 80 years." He said sheepishly. Everyone went silent.

"WHAT!?!?" 

"Oh, and one more thing-" A knock at the door cut him off. Nico jumped up knowing that it was Will. 

"Hey, Sunshine," Will said raising his eyebrows "Did I miss the party?" 

"He's GAY!!" Hazel suddenly burst out. Will laughed.

"I KNOW," He said "Gods, people are so blind, how do they miss the fact that you're wearing a black leather jacket and skinny jeans, and there's even a little pride flag sewn on the jacket??" 

"YOU KNEW?!?!" Hazel shouted "That hurts," She pointed to her chest "Right here."

Will laughed again " Hazel your heart's on the other side of your chest. Also, yes of course I knew, he didn't even have to tell me, I literally kissed him!"

Once again, everybody's jaw dropped.
