(Nico's P.O.V.)

I walked into my room. Today was the day that I'm going to tell him I'm gay. I was going to tell my homophobic father, King Hades, that I'm gay.

Half my brain thought, that's a terrible idea!

While the other half thought, this is a good idea. He needs to know who you are. What happens if he decides to have me marry a princess to prevent a war? You need to tell him.

After a lot of thinking, I decided to go to my older sister, Bianca.

I ran down the hallway, and pounded at her door. It swinger open, and Bianca was looking at me.

"What is it, Nico?" She asked.

"I have something to tell you," I answered nervously.

"Come in," she stepped out of the doorway.

Bianca closed the door behind me, then sat on her bed. She then patted the spot next to her, signaling for me to sit down.

I sat, then took a deep, wobbly, breath. "Bianca, I'm gay," I said. I braced myself for the yells, but none came.

Bianca laughed. "That's why your so nervous? I've known that for a long time."

"Is it that obvious? How did you know?" I asked. Does Hades know?

"No, it's not obvious. I only noticed by the way you looked at Percy."

I sighed in relief. "So, you know about my old crush on Percy?"

"Yeah, but I'm probably the only one. You aren't around Percy a lot."

"Bianca, I'm over Percy now."

She nodded. "Is there anything else that you need to tell me?"

"I was planning on telling father today."

Bianca gasped. "Nico, that's a terrible idea! You know he's homophobic! What happens if he disowns you?"

"Bianca, I need to tell him. What happens if he decides that I'm going to marry a princess from a different kingdom?"

Bianca nodded, wiping a tear from her eye. "What happens if I never see you again?"

"We don't know for sure that he's going to disown me."

"But you've seen what he does to the gay's."

I shivered, remembering the last time I saw that there was a boy that was gay in our kingdom. Hades had him executed.

"I think you should wait," Bianca suggested.

"I'll wait for a week."

Bianca hugged me. "I can't risk losing you."

(1 week later.)

I had spent a lot of time with Bianca the past week. In case Hades does something. In case I never see her again.

Bianca hugged me, maybe for the last time. I knocked on the door to the throne room.

"Come in," my father's voice boomed.

I opened the door, my hands trembling.

"Ah, Nico," my father said, sitting on his throne. "What brings you here today?"

"Father, I have something important to tell you," I said.

Maybe Hades will react like Bianca, I thought. We're family after all.
