Nico's P.O.V

I had just told Percy about my crush on him. I am pretty over it, I finally realized that I didn't like to be with Percy, I wanted to be Percy. Straight, strong, kind. Pretty much the opposite of me. I start to walk away as, Mr.Sunshine comes to me, just wonderful! Ughhhh.

"Where do you think your going Di Angelo? You owe me three days in the infirmary silly goth" he said, in an annoying voice. How I despise this boy, his annoying smile, and his constant mother hen-ning. I already have Jason, Reyna, Hazel, and Percy. I don't need another person down my throat.

"Solace I'm not in the mood, so just get out of my way" I said, trying to shove past him.

"Nuh, uh I know your all up on your I'm to cool for everyone cloud, but you need to get checked" he said.

"Why don't you let go of your hero complex and just let me leave" I said rolling my eyes.

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME! OH MY GODS I CAN'T STAND YOU!" he said, and I just smirked.

"Then don't I'll just leave" I said, then I stepped into his shadow, and went to my cabin. I sighed as I finally laid, down and took off my binder. I can finally be in my own skin. You may be asking Nico your trans? And the answer to that is complicated. A few years ago, a little after I had killed Minos. I met Loki and I ended up helping him with a quest, that I don't want to talk about right now. It was really scary, but he also helped me figure out why I didn't always feel like a boy. They were a he at the time. He told me that I might be genderfluid, and I am. Then he willed my body to change with my gender. It was great when I was alone for so long, but I'm not sure how everyone here would react. What if they don't accept me, what if they all hate me? I'm not ready for them to find out, well besides the people who already know. Reyna knows, and Piper does too.

Once I take off my binder, I put on my bra, so much more comfortable. I go into my closet, and put on some shorts, I felt so much better. I quickly get into my bed, and try to get some sleep. I put my blanket over me. Before I know it I'm in a dreamless sleep, the best kind. When I wake up, I hear someone pacing, across the room. I quickly get the blankets and pull them to my shoulders.

"Um hi?" I say, my voice high, because of the change. Fuck, I have to remember to keep it low.

"Nico, your awake, you've been asleep for 3 days!" Will says, he takes my arm, and I flinch.

"Okay your stable, why can't you just freaking listen to me. You could have died!" Will says in a panic.

"What? Does Will Solace actually care about me?" I said.

"Nico, of course I care! I can't have another demigod die because of me! I can't let you die" he said tears in his eyes looking away from me. I quickly put a big shirt on and pulled my hair back, hoping he wouldn't see the length. Then I jumped across the bed, and kneed below him.

"Will if I or anyone does/has died, it's not your fault okay? You have probably saved everyone at this camps lives at least twice, and those you didn't are happy, that you tried. And very grateful that you took away the pain for a little while. It will never be your fault Will" I said, wiping the tears off of his face. He looked down at me his eyes focusing, and he nodded. I may not be one for physical touch but I can tell he is, and I can get over it. I mean who am I to not be comfortable, with being touched if it helps someone else? If I can it's my job to try and comfort someone. Like I wish someone did for me. So I hugged him. He hugged me back immediately, and I just rubbed circles into his back as he ranted.
