I have read comments that Nico being gay has come from nowhere but there was certain bits I thought of after Nico said he had a crush in Percy.

1. The way he admired Percy, asking questions and being hyper around him is how some people act with a crush.

2 I always thought it was wierd how Nico trusted Percy so much with keeping Bianca alive, this is like many people who think their crush can do anything.

3.The way he was angry at Percy and stopped the skeleton warriors also shows that like many of us we would save a crush even through they did something wrong.

4. The way he let Annabeth talk him in going back to camp when Percy couldn't could be that maybe he wanted to make him jealous.

5. When Nico noticed how Percy didn't trust him after escaping Hades palace he was upset like you would be if a crush didn't trust you after a mistake.

6. The way he acted when Percy saved Nico in Rome he was sad that he had to lie to Percy about knowing who he was.

That the main points I am writing I could write more but since its past 1am and I am tired, also I know Rick said he didn't plan this but I think he saw these points and more then decided he was gay. People will probably disagree, flame me, but this is my opinion and you have yours.

Also does it really matter that a character is gay? Seriously people? I would think we got past the homophobia like in the 1900s? Also I think some people may forget this but Nico is fictional! It is really creepy on Tumblr when people go "No! Rick he was my future husband why!?"

The last paragraph is really not about this wiki but Tumblr since that has really freaked me out. Goodnight!
