Juniper and Rachel. He acted really shy and blushed even around them. Yet that's not the point, the point is that RR actually never said that Nico is gay and that annoys me. If he had, then we wouldn't hear people debating this but instead he left himself a little window of escape. In case things backfire on him he can always just say that Nico doesn't really like boys but he likes Percy because he's the image of the perfect hero in Nico's eyes.

I'm sitting here wondering why is everyone bothered by the fact that "nothing will come out of this". What came out of Rachel's crush on Percy? Or of Thalia's crush on Luke? Or of Reyna's feelings for Jason? Two out of three of them can't even date anymore and the third has little to no chances of being with someone seeing as how Leo is "in love" with Calypso.

I'm actually happy RR made a guy have a crush on someone that will never return his feelings because it was starting to get just a tad annoying to have so many female characters with broken hearts. What bothers me is the fact that Nico has a crush on none other than Percy because oh wow, just look how awesome he is, it's not just girls that love him but also guys! *rolls eyes*

I want Nico and Reyna to become biffles by the end of this series and pretty much rule the world together because you know they could. Someone actually asked why the two of them weren't part of the seven, the answer came quickly: We needed 5 books in which the 7 fought Gaea whereas Reyna and Nico probably would have done it in half that book time.
