.................................................

Nico's POV

I suppose Charmaine IM-ed his father about my situation for healing methods. And I suppose Chiron let Percy to come check on me anytime he or me wants to.

My chest was still in pain, but I feel better because Percy and I are here together, enjoying our time.

Jason and Chiron left earlier, I told Jason about my condition and made him swear on the River Styx that he will not tell anyone, not Piper, not his dad, not anyone.

So now, only me, Charmaine, Percy, Jason, Chiron and Apollo knows about my diagnosis.

Suddenly, the room went dark, and I see shadows forming. There was a familiar scent -the scent of the dead and... light? No. Infirmary - or smell of Medicine? Meh perhaps. Percy and I looked at each other for a sec when I noticed two figures appearing in the shadow. Could it be...

"My son."

WHAT?!

"D-d-dad? I-i-is it y-you?" I was seriously nervous.

"Yes, Nico, it's me, your dad, Hades." Hades' voice seemed... sad. Not the usual cold tone he uses, this was more worrying, caring and... warm.

Th figures were clear now, and there stood my dad - Hades. Beside him was another man of the same height of my father. A man of nicely tanned skin, a powerful aura glowing around him. I recognise him now, he is the God of Sun, God of Music, God of Medicine, Oracle controller(?), Healer of anything.

"Lord Hades, Lord Apollo." Percy bowed.

I attempted to follow, but, my chest pain seems to forbid me from doing so.

"Ugh..." I groaned. "Uh... sorry. Lord Apollo, Lord Had-"

"Just call me father, or dad." Hades said.

"Yes dad." I said. I gave him a smile, and HE SMILED BACK!

"Umm... Uncle? If you don't mind, can you give me the ingredients now? I may use the time while you talk to start with... you know." Apollo said.

"Sure. Wait a sec Nico. Percy, would you mind going with Apollo and help him? Apollo, please tell him the details and see if Percy can help with... that."

"Yes Lord Hades." Percy said, and followed Apollo out of the room.

"Umm... dad? Would you mind telling me what is happening?" I asked

"Son, I know your diagnosis. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, voice hurt.

"I'm sorry dad, I never knew you would actually come and find me for this. I feel that I am really nothing to you, and, I feel I have alreadu let you down for so many times that I feel that I shouldn't bother you about myself anymore. I'm sorry dad." I said everything I had buried deep down in my heart for years.

"Oh, my son, I'm so sorry, I never thought that you would think that way. I was always proud of you. You were really strong and tough. What you did in both the Titan War and the War againt Gaea was out of my expectation, so strong, full of courage, so confident. I always wanted to tell you that. It's just that I didn't have the thing you do: Courage. I was scared to face you, especially after your mother's death. I'm sorry Nico, for everything. That's why, I decided to... you know... beg for forgiveness and hipe we can start over our father-son relationship. I know, this is quite awkward, but I mean it Nico. Let me tell you, Apollo said that there is a cure for your Cancer, which includes taking some of my blood. Gods' blood is precious, but it is worth it, for your sake."

"B-but dad... you don't have to do that. I'm not worth for you to do so, I never made you proud... I do nothing by just shadow-travelling around here and there, avoiding problems."

"Nico? Why can't you look at all the good and brave things you did? You are my son, and everything I do for you is worth it."

By now, I was in Hades' arms, sobbing quietly, while Hades was rocking me back and forth. I longed to have some time with his dad, and this was perfect.

"But Nico?"

"Yes dad?"

"You said that you ran away from camp to... avoid problems. What excatly is or are the problems?"

"Oh. Umm its nothing."

"Nico, I may not be a good dad a-"

"But you are dad."

"Don't cut me off... but thank you." Both of us smiled.

"Let me continue." Hades said. "I may not be a good and responsible dad, but you are my son, I know that you ran away for some reason. I hope that you can be honest with me. Love life or friendship stuff? Your sister? Mother? Me?"

"NO DAD!" I chuckled. "Wait yes. but actually... solved now."

"Then what is it. Tell meeeeeeee" My dad whined.

Did my dad, Lord Hades, God of the Underworld, one of the Big Three, just whined to me? The emo little son of his from the 30s who is... gay.

"Dad, I am... gay, and... in love, with Percy. I ran away because of him. I can't stand seeing him and Annabeth being so sweet together. It just breaks my heart." I dared not seeing his reaction, "I'm sorry dad."

"What for? For being gay? For being in love with your cousin? For falling in love with my nephew? I understand that being gay in the 30s is like being a mistake. But I am telling you that I will love you unconditionally (reference guys (: ) no matter how you are, what you are, because you are my son."

"Thanks dad."

"But you said that the problem was solved? I don't get it."

"Well he broke up with Annabeth, he admitted his feelings towards me. He said he had liked me for quite a period of time already, and I told him the same thing, but tild him that I had a crush on him since we met. He said sorry, I said never mind... And I suppose you know what happened next..."

"YOU GUYS KISSED!"

"Do you seriously have to say that out loud dad..."

"Sorry, hehe. Anyways, I congratulate you both. And just remember, I love you under any conditions alright?"

"Thanks dad."

And just that time, Percy and Apollo came into the room, Percy was holding his left arm, covered in a small plaster.

"Lord Apollo, my hand is still pretty sore though." Percy said.

"Oh. Your part should hurt most. You're the part where both pf you share the same amount of pain, which means you two will go through this together." Apollo said.

"Wait. Percy, you told him?" My dad asked.

"Yes I did Lord Hades, I... hehe hope you um don't mind if we... you know..." Percy said sheepishly.

"No, not at all. I hope you can be good to my son, he deserves best." Dad told Percy.

"Yes Lord Hades."

"Just call me Uncle."

"Yes Lo- I mean, Uncle."
