Riordan's part to include a character who isn't straight. I do think that it was an interesting decision on Mr. The evidence was always there, although I do think it was hidden very well by Rick Riordan because we've never seen any scene from Nico's point of view and Nico's not exactly forthcoming about his feelings or easy to predict in any way. While it was initially shocking (well, sort of, since someone spoiled it for me), I don't think it was without premediation at all. From there, I can see how Nico would develop feelings for Percy, even if they're not homosexual in their core. Even Nico's own father didn't really care for him. Nico, before that, had never had male figure in his life look out for and care for him.

Then Bianca died, and Nico was mad at and hurt by Percy, but even then, Percy still tried to save Nico's life and care for the boy. I think that's significant there, because I can definitely see how Nico would admire Percy and probably want to be more like him. When Nico first met Percy, it was in the middle of a battle with monsters straight out of Nico's favorite game of Mythomagic.

I think it's more fitting that Nico would have romantic feelings for Percy, but I'm still not even sure that's what's going on.

That totally doesn't fit Nico's character to me at all. I don't think that Nico is gay as in he wants to be in a sexual relationship with Percy.
