Nico: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast? Percy: Several traffic violations. Jason: Three counts of resisting arrest. Leo: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks. Frank: Also, that’s not our car.

Nico: don’t even think about it.

Luke: think about what? I’m not doing anything.

Nico: don’t have to, your face gives it away that you have a thing for my sibling *points to you across the camp*

Luke: so?

Nico: don’t go near them, look at them, talk to them, nothing. Do I make myself-

*sees Luke already running towards you*

Nico: what did I just say!

Luke: *holding you from behind with a smug smile* sorry can’t hear you as I scored myself a date

Hades!You: isn’t he just the sweetest?

Nico: y/n don’t encourage him.

Luke: too late. *presses a kiss to your forehead*

Nico: you won’t be safe for long, for when you least expect it, I’ll strike. *fades into the shadows as he gives like the ‘I’m watching you’ gesture*

Luke: your brother is a absolute delight.

You: if you think he’s protective, hades is far worse.

Luke: …what?

Right before the war games in SoN

Nico: Reyna, 50 denarius that says the new campers are going to win

Reyna: interesting. What makes you say that?

Nico who’s seen Percy fight an entire army by himself with out breaking a sweat: no reason, just a hunch

[sodamnbored]

Nico: Will, you’ve gotta do something!

Will, shining a light into Jason’s eyes: What happened?

Nico: There was an accident. He’s really messed up.

Jason: Honestly, I feel fine -

Nico: Do you think the damage is permanent?

Will, confused: He seems okay to me?

Nico, shaking his head: No, he’s all confused. Watch.

Nico: Jason, what day is it?

Jason: Tuesday.

Nico, distressed to Will: See?

Will: But…Today is Tuesday.

Nico: But he thinks it’s last Tuesday.

Leo: the Stolls said you’re ‘the second worst thing to happen to those orphans,’ what does that mean?

Nico: it means I was the second worst thing to happen to those orphans

Leo: what was the first thing?

*dead silence*

Nico: Leo, they weren’t always orphans

Leo:

Leo: oh.

Leo: OH

[iamrizaka]

Cecil: What would you do if Nico became a snake?

Will, knowing something is off: Why is he a snake?

Cecil: Let's say, Lou Ellen turned him.

Will: I will let him bite and poison both of you before praying to Hecate to turn him back.

Nico the Snake: *has a love-struck expression*

Romantic in nature or not, I always just looked at that scene in MoA with the notion: Annabeth is convinced that Nico, a gay man, has a crush on her in this exact scene (or you know, a different scene in MoA, I don't remember), and since we know that Annabeth isn't the best on the emotional front, she read Luke's intentions incorrectly, and Percy did, as well, due to his jealousy of the guy.

(Now, I know that neither of these are the case, especially since I doubt Nico was thought to be gay until HoH, and this is around the time that Annabeth was starting to be characterized as Never Wrong About Anything Ever, but it's always been my go-to regarding the whole Luke-Annabeth debacle. What I mean to say is that I like your interpretation of the scenes, too)

Oh i actually believe Nico was fully intended to be gay starting around MOA at least (though I do believe Rick claiming he had figured that out about Nico earlier than that), because Rick was absolutely acknowledging queer topics in his writing at that time. Jason's arc particularly in the latter half of HoO is extremely bi-coded and there's just straight up a canonical polyamorous relationship in Serpent's Shadow, which came out several months before HoH.

Which does make Annabeth's line about that in MOA funnier, especially considering by that point Nico has held maybe one full conversation with her in the entire franchise thus far, maybe two or three if you wanna push it. I cannot emphasize enough how little they had spoken to each other - and tbh, continued to not speak to each other. Just in general. Like the most notable interactions the two of them have prior to the high-five scene in BoO are literally both in BoTL and it's one line and then one off-screen scene of Nico breaking up a fight between Rachel and Annabeth (where they were fighting over Percy) entirely for the purposes of going to save Percy. They barely interact in HoO. Nico and Annabeth have a chronic case of their plot lines being in different locations because only one of them is allowed to be active at a time due to their narrative roles. Annabeth is kidnapped for most of the TTC Nico scenes and Nico is at camp when they get to Annabeth, and then in TLO Nico's busy with all the Underworld stuff and flirting with Percy so he never interacts with Annabeth. Then Nico is off at Camp Jupiter when Annabeth's at CHB and then busy being kidnapped for the first stretch of the Argo II mission and only shows up when Annabeth is busy on her Arachne quest. And then Annabeth FALLS INTO TARTARUS when Nico gets there (and proceeds to pine at Percy) and then IMMEDIATELY after Annabeth gets out of Tartarus, Nico skips away with Reyna and Coach to drag the Athena Parthenos to camp. And then FINALLY they interact and it's not even Nico speaking directly to Annabeth really, just high-fiving her after insulting Percy to his face. He literally only says one word directly to her.

Like. I cannot overemphasize the absolute comical degree to which these two avoid interacting. They're like magnets repelling each other. And yet Annabeth is like "I think he has a crush on me - he spoke to me once, allegedly." Like ah yes, sure, HoO. Next you're gonna tell me you retconned them into having a FOURTH conversation! Don't get too wild!

The Kiss

Annabeth: Percy, you're being an idiot. Percy, face down on the grass outside of his cabin: hmmp Annabeth: I'm sorry!! Percy: ... Grover, turning towards Nico: What... what happened? Annabeth: Percy! Nico, the long-suffering: Annabeth offered Percy a kiss. Grover: Okay? They've been together for a few years now. Nico, watching Percy cry into the grass: It was chocolate.

RIORDAN INCORRECT QUOTES PT1

Nico: I started rollerblading Kayla: Ooooo what got you into it? Nico: .... Will: Neeks? Nico, quietly: Shadow the hedgehog....

[theprinceofdarknesssquad]

Nico: I’m kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is, because you’re not going to like it

Jason: Just rip the bandage off.

Nico: It’s Percy.

Jason: Put the bandage back on.

Nico: I think I’m having a mid-life crisis.

Will: You’re like 15 years old

Nico: I MIGHT DIE AT 30!!!

Jason, giving an inspirational speech before going into the House of Hades: I know it’s been a difficult ride. I know we’re down a few friends down right now. And I know this isn’t going to be easy. But there’s still the six of us, and together we can clear these hurdles.

Leo, under his breath: Except Nico cause he’s four foot eight.
