My Way Home is Through You- PJO/HOO fanfic!

Nico

Nico's POV

-------------------

'What the hell was happening here?' He thought, fanning his face as he always saw his sister do when she would be flustered.

"Where are we going?" Nico asked, blushing.

"You'll see when we get there!" Leo said, throwing an arm around Nico's shoulders.

"This better not be some 'firework display,'" The younger boy grumbled.

"Promise you, it isn't. It's way better."

"It better be."

The two walked past the twenty rooms in their hallway into the verandah of the hospital. On the covered porch, was a creaky table with cobwebs in between the legs and the table face. The table stood alone on the verandah. Leo took Nico's hand, and dragged him over, only to see a small piece of paper on the table.

"What the hell?" Nico mumbled.

"Pick it up." Leo smirked proudly.

Picking it up hesitantly, Nico read the card aloud.

"To find your reward, find the one who cares for you most..." He said, furrowing his brows in concentration.

"What the hell does this mean?"

"Well, do what it says. It's an instruction."

"An instruction."

"Yep!"

He sighed heavily and walked back into the hospital.

"Well, where am I supposed to find said 'person'?" Nico asked, still very confused.

"Think about it, Casper."

Nico pursed his lips into a line, staring at the card.

"I have no idea what to do."

"As I said- think!"

"Cares about me... Is it Hazel? Does Hazel have the reward?" Nico said, thinking he figured out Leo's weird riddle.

"Go check." Leo said. He looked as if he found out what he's getting for Christmas behind his parent's backs.

"Fine." Nico walked to Hazel, who was still playing cards with Frank. The two were now playing a friendly game of 'Go Fish'. Percy would've approved.

"Hey Nico..." Hazel smiled.

"Do you have the reward?" He asked, a hand on his hip. Leo stood not far behind him.

"What?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

He showed Hazel the card. "Well?"

"Sorry Nico... I care about you, a lot, yeah, but... I think someone else has your reward." Hazel winked at Nico, then glancing at Leo, hoping her older brother would take a hint already.

"Oh." He spat out, brows furrowing again. "Thanks anyways."
