You and Nico had never been best friends. He hasn’t really liked you because one of your closest friends was Percy Jackson; one of the people who was there on the quest that his sister died on, and he was the one to tell him. Plus you were also a child of Apollo- the complete opposite of Hades. It was practically destined for you guys not to get along.

Since then, you’ve been trying to get him to trust you more and not shut everyone out. Over time, he’s started being less cruel, but- only to you. Not really anyone else, like you had planned. He also doesn’t really talk much, he usually just lets you ramble to him.

It was a regular Autumn day at Camp Half-Blood, and you and Nico were sitting on a bench out in the fields. He stayed quiet while he let you talk, as usual. At some point when you stopped talking, he turned to look at you. “Hey..” He said quietly, looking into your eyes. “..Your eyes have a little green in them.”
