Chapter 1
"Who would have thought that the son of Hades likes ballet?"
Nico
Nico hates being forced to do things. Especially stupid things like being forced to watch a ballet performance.
"This is an outrage," Nico complained as Jason pushed him down to his seat. "Everything's an outrage with you," Jason mumbled.
"Why do we have to do this?" Jason glared at Nico.
"Because we don't want to get Annabeth or Piper mad," Percy answered from behind Jason.
"Whipped," Nico whispered under his breath. He sat down and looked around the auditorium. It was pretty big for a school auditorium. "It's really big."
"That's what she said," Percy said. Nico and Jason looked at him. Percy just shrugged as he sat down on Nico's other side. "What? Someone had to say it."
"I wanted to say it," Jason whined quietly. Percy reached over and patted Jason. "You can say it next time."
Nico swatted Percy's arm out of the way and buried his head in his hands. "What happen if there are monsters?" Jason and Percy just shushed him because the curtains started opening.
"We have to look out for one of the girls. Grover thinks she's a demi-god," Jason explained. Nico groaned again now that he has to actually pay attention to the performance. He wanted to just shadow travel away but he decided against it.
"I'll tell you when I spot her." Nico just nodded.
Nico spent the next five minutes thinking about Will, monsters, camp Jupiter, Will, shrines, Hades and Will. He blushed every time he thought of Will's smile. He wished Will was here too, that would make this trip not as horrible.
When the song started to quiet down he started to pay attention. The girls cleared off the stage just as a girl walks to the middle of it.
Percy poked Nico. "That's her," he whispered. He focused his attention to the girl, hoping to spot any demi-god like things from her or something. He furrowed his brows in confusion on how this performance was supposed to help them tell whether or not she was a demi-god. But he kept quiet about it.
"Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" The speakers blared. Nico forgot what he was supposed to do because he just focused on the dancing. He suddenly felt an interest on how she moved. So gracefully but at the same time you could tell that she was putting in emotion and passion into the moves.
Nico watched as the girl's lips moved along with the song, as she turned and twirled around the stage, giving her best into the solo because it ended after the first chorus of the song. Two more girls jumped in and danced with her, in full sync. He was amazed of how they did everything at the exact same time.
They weren't sitting close enough to see the details or how she looked, but he could tell her hair wasn't fully black. When the girl turned, he could see that her bun was white. He thought that was cool.
He didn't even realize that the show was over until the girls bowed and cleared off the stage. Percy and Jason got up and pulled him up with them.
"So, what do you think?" Percy asked. Nico's head shot up and stared at them.
"What?"
"What do you think?" Percy repeated.
"Oh, it's a hit," Jason exclaimed. "Nico was so into it, he loves it!"
Jason and Percy chuckled. "Don't tell me you want to be one after this," Percy said. Nico didn't say anything.
"No seriously though," Jason said. "Did you notice how she didn't even break a sweat?"
"She doesn't have ADHD, that's for sure," Percy said. "It took her a minute to realize that there were people dancing beside her."
"Maybe she was just into it?"
"Nah," Percy said shaking her head. "Plus, if she was a demi-god she shouldn't be able to focus that long."
"It was a minute," Nico argued.
"Still a long time," Percy replied.
Nico just shook his head. "If she doesn't show signs of a demi-god why do you even think she's a demi-god?"
"Grover," Jason and Percy said at the same time. "Grover said she had a scent but-" Jason didn't finish explaining because Nico took both of their hands and shadow traveled to camp once he found a big enough shadow.
"-her scent isn't as strong as an Olympian's child should be. But her scent isn't like any of the minor god's demi-gods either." Jason finished once he managed to stand still after the shadow travel.
"Whatever." And with that, Nico walked away, off to find Will. Percy and Jason just shrugged at each other before walking off to find Grover, Mr. D and Chiron.
"Hey," Nico said awkwardly as he approached Will. Will was shooting arrows at targets. Nico watched him shoot one more before Will turned his attention to him.
"Hi," he answered. Nico watched him shoot another target, hitting it perfectly in the middle.
"What do you want, Nico?" Will said.
"Nothing, I was just bored," Nico answered. He sat down on the grass and watched Will continue his training.
"How was the performance?"
Nico hesitated before answering, "I surprisingly enjoyed it." Will raised an eyebrow at him.
"You did?" Nico glared at him. "Yes, but only a bit."
Will laughed and smiled at him. "Well, who would have thought that the son of Hades would enjoy ballet?"
Nico slapped Will's leg. Will looked at him and shook his leg at him. "Stop teasing me," Nico mumbled.
"Nope, can't do," Will said. "Who else is going to tease you if I don't?" Nico didn't answer him. He just watched as Will shot his last arrow.
"You want to try?" Will asked. Nico shook his head. "I don't need any training."
"Why?"
"Because I had to endure the pain of watching ballet," Nico said pretending to be sick.
"Well, if you like it so much, maybe I'll have to take you to the next one." Will walked over and collected his arrows and walked back to Nico, sitting down next to him.
"So, tell me all about it," Will said. Nico nodded and did as told and unlike what he does with other people, he didn't leave out any of the details.
I hope you liked it. I know it starts out as a normal fanfic, but it'll get better, I promise!
If there are any grammar mistakes or typos, please tell me! I'm not that good at rereading things.
