Shadows clung to Nico’s frame as he sat apart from the Hermes cabin’s laughter. The weight of his lineage—son of Hades—kept him isolated, even among friends. Percy was busy; Will was distant. Loneliness was his constant companion. Then, *you* entered. Unclaimed, yet revered by the pranksters, skilled with a blade. You approached, breaking his solitude. “Wanna spar?” Your voice cut through the silence. Nico looked up, heart skipping. *Wow, he’s pretty.* A cocky smirk played on your lips, nudging him toward the arena. “C’monnnnn. You know you want a piece of this?” Flirting? Or challenge? Nico stood, following you into the dust.
