If Hades raised Nico and Bianca Part 21 (Coming Out)
Hades in IM: Bianca
Bianca: Hi, papa. What's up?
Hades: What's wrong with your brother?
Bianca: What do you mean?
Hades: He's been rejecting my calls, he's not replying to my messages, it's like he's ignoring me
Bianca: Hmmm...can't think of anything right now.
Hades: *sigh* it's been a week already.
Bianca: Wait, a week? Oh no...
Hades: What is it?
Bianca: ...there was this quest and there was a part of the quest where he had to confront Cupid
---
Hades Cabin: *knock*
Nico: Come in.
Hades: *enters*
Nico, suddenly on high alert: Papa. What are you doing here?
Hades: You don't answer my calls, you don't reply. What else am I supposed to assume?
Nico: W-well, I-
Hades: Bianca told me what happened.
Nico: ...about what?
Hades, sitting beside him on the bed: About the quest. About Jackson. About Cupid.
Nico: *starts getting scared and starts to cry*
Hades: Is there something you want to tell me, Nico?
Nico, crying: I'm sorry, Papa. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Hades, pulling him into his lap and hugging him tight: What are you sorry about? There's no need for you to apologize.
Nico, still crying: I wanna stay in this camp. I don't wanna go to the other camp. I wanna stay here.
Hades: Camp Jupiter?
Nico: No, the other camp. The one where they take boys who like other boys so they can be fixed.
Hades:
Nico: I don't wanna go to that camp. I wanna stay here.
Hades: Nico, what makes you think I'll take you there? How do you even know about that place?
Nico: I remember back in Italy where they were taking boys to those camps
Hades: Nico, you can't possibly remember that. You were barely 5.
Nico: They were saying that those boys were freaks and that they were weird. They said that God hates them.
Hades: Nico-
Nico: Am I weird, papa? Am I a monster?
Hades: No, of course not. Of course, you're not.
Nico: ...i feel like a monster...
Hades: Niccoló, you are not a freak. You are not weird. And you are most certainly not a monster.
Nico: You think mama hates me?
Hades: Absolutely not. I'm sure your mama would be so proud of you right now.
Nico: I don't wanna leave this place
Hades: You're not going to. You're not going to those camps. I promise on the river Styx, I will never send you to those camps. Ever. You don't need to be fixed. You are perfect, just the way you are.
Nico: *still sniffling*
Hades: I'm so sorry, bambino. I'm so sorry I ever made you feel like you couldn't tell me.
Nico: I love you, papa
Hades: I love you, too. Very much. And I know your mother does, too.

Jason, on the phone with Percy: keep your eye on Nico, he has a tendency to wander off.
Percy: Jason, wh-what (looks around and notices that Nico is gone) I'm totally capable of that...
Jason: you lost him, didn't you?
Percy, running around the grocery store frantically: no no no, he's right next to me.
Jason: I can hear it in your voice. Look in the dairy case.
Percy: do you honestly think he'd fit–
Percy: sees Nico standing in the dairy case and trying to pull it open.
Jason: the doors don't pull, they slide.
Percy: slowly slides the doors open.
