Scary? No!

now look, when your half sister said you were meeting this Nico kid, you expected a tall, emo, weird creepy guy. like Slenderman kind of. but no, it was this short, insomniac of a kid. he looked nice enough to where you weren't weirded out to say hello, but all he did was give a dry wave back. you cleared your throat and looked away uncomfortably. what was this? who was this kid? why were you meeting him?-

your half sister smiled. "You guys are paired for tonight's games. just wanted yall to get to know eachother so..yknow..you guys dont have to hate eachother by the end of tonight." she nudged you. "tell him your name, man."

you cleared your throat, and tried to speak but all that came out was an exasperated giggle. This kid just looked...funny? not necessarily. just not what you expected. but soon you found the words, and introduced yourself.

Nico nodded and held out a hand. "I'm nico. son of hades."

oh. the way he said that sent a shiver down your spinal cord. you backed away a little and chuckled nervously. something was off about him. maybe this kid was a force to be reckoned with. but why did you feel like that? was it maybe those dark, angry eyes? or the dark aura surrounding him? you didn't know. but something was off, and you were set on finding out what it is. you felt like you knew this kid...
