~~NICO~~

My eyelids fluttered open. I took in the familiar sight of the infirmary and sighed loudly. A clump of my hair flew over my eyes and blocked my vision. As I turned my head swiftly as an attempt to move my hair I spot a figure. Freckles, blue eyes, a mop of blonde hair, a wide grin. I instantly knew who I was looking at. "Just let me go to my cabin Will." I hissed at him, noticing a faint recoil when I said his name. Did he always do that, I asked my self before hearing a response, "Nope. I couldn't if I wanted to.".

Will pointed at my chest and I looked away. Did he find ou- Is he mad??? Those were the questions running through my mind as I put my arms over my chest. Pain erupts as I made contact with it and I screamed. He ran up to me and put his hand on my arm, "N-Nico! I didn't mean that! I meant the stab!". I began crying and pulled myself into a ball.

He knows. He knows my secret. I Nico Di Angelo was assigned female at birth. Will rubbed my arm comfortingly, "I don't care what you were Nico. I really don't.". His words echoed in my mind as I slowly returned from my ball form. "That's not the whole story. I-I just- I guess I have to explain now, don't I?", He shook his head as the words left my mouth. I went on to explain anyway.

"You might have known me as a guy for the longest time. Son of Hades, Son of Death, Ghost King, blah blah blah. And well yeah, I am a guy, but I wasn't born as one.", I briefly took a breath of air while Will nodded, "I-I really hope you still respect me for who I am, even though I am a monster.". Tears began rolling down my face as he clasped my other hand.

His blonde hair was messy like my black hair. I just looked at him before he sighed, "Well, I can't stay quiet forever, now can I?". I tilted my head in confusion as the words spilled from his mouth, "You might have known me as a guy for the longest time. Son of Apollo, Son of the Sun God, blah blah blah. It isn't true.". He turned away in fear. "Nico- I'm actually a girl. Just like you're actually a guy.", He, wait no, she stuttered as tears formed in her eyes.

I couldn't believe what I heard. Will was a girl. Now don't get me wrong, I respect her identity, but she didn't strike me as a person to identify as trans. I hugged her before jerking back. The pain in my chest was like fire. She nodded in understanding before gripping my hand tighter, "If you wouldn't mind using my preferred name, Wyllie, that would be nice.".

I smiled, "Anything to help another queer, Wyllie.". A smile returned to her face as she heard her name. She looked at our intertwined hands and blushed before pulling her arm away. "I- Sorry about that.", She muttered before turning away again. Wyllie was too cute. This was such a touching moment and I didn't want her to feel embarrassed. "It's okay.", I assured before grabbing her hand and sliding our fingers together. That's when our eyes met. Her huge blue eyes lit up as I connected our hands. And that's when I knew something about her was special.
