(Ur an Athena kid here.
Oh btw sorry if they're inaccurate, I just got the translations off Google.)
You were bored.
You had finished doing all your activities for the day, and you didn't really feel like training.
So you just lay in the Athena cabin, randomly thinking about random thoughts.
Then you got an idea.
You ran outside, to the Hades cabin, praying silently that he would be there.
You opened the door, and sure enough, there he sat, messy hair and all.
"What are you doing here, Y/N?" Nico asked.
You sat down beside him. "Can you teach me Italian?"
Nico blinked at you. "What? Why?"
You shrugged. "I'm bored and I wanna learn. Pleeeeaaaassseee???" You asked, bringing out the puppy eyes.
Nico sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll teach you."
"Yay!" You cheered.
"Okay, so let's start with the basics. Buongiorno is good morning, while buona notte is good night." Nico began.
You nodded, listening intently.
"Buon pomeriggio is good afternoon. Ciao and addio are hello and goodbye respectively." Nico continued.
"Okay. Can you say a sentence in Italian?" You asked.
Nico stared incredulously at the notepad and pen you had. "You were taking notes?!"
"Duh. Can you give me an example of a sentence?"
Nico sighed. "Buon pomeriggio, Y/N. A volte sei davvero fastidioso, sai? Onestamente, è piuttosto carino." (Good afternoon, Y/N. You're really annoying sometimes, you know? Honestly, it's kind of cute.)
"What did that mean?" You asked.
Nico smiled. "Not telling you."
"Seriously? No translations?"
Nico shrugged. "You'll have to figure them out by yourself."
"Fine."
Half an hour later, Nico had taught you (at your request) how to say 'I'm hungry', 'I hate you', 'I love you', 'you're stupid', 'you're cute', 'fuck you' and 'shut up' in Italian.
"Why am I even teaching you these again?" Nico asked.
You shrugged. "Maybe so I can curse at the Stolls in a different language?"
Nico facepalmed.
You giggled, and reviewed your notes. "Can you test me? I think I'm ready."
"We'll see. You've only been learning for half an hour." Nico said.
You shrugged. "Hey, I'm an Athena kid. A brainchild. And anyway, I've got the best teacher. Sei carino, Nico." (You're cute, Nico) You said, poking Nico's cheek affectionately.
Nico blushed. "Fine. Let's see if you can translate this."
He took a deep breath. "Okay, here goes."
"Mi piaci, S / N. Ti amo. Ho questa enorme cotta per te.
E, beh, so che non capisci cosa sto dicendo, perché è in italiano, ma beh ...
Volevo solo dirti che ti amo."
(I like you, Y/N. I love you. I've got this huge crush on you.
And, well, I know you don't understand what I'm saying, because it's in Italian, but well-
I just really wanted to tell you I love you.)
You scratched your head in confusion. You had written the sentence down, but you didn't really understand it.
"I only got 'ti amo', I don't even know the rest!" You said in frustration.
Nico smiled. "Well, you can always ask someone else to translate for you."
The dinner horn sounded. Nico held out his hand. "Shall we?"

You ran to the Hermes Cabin after dinner.
You poked your head inside and waved the notepad in the air. "Does anyone know Italian here? I've got a sentence that needs translating."

When morning came, you marched up to Nico.
"Ti amo anch'io, Nico di Angelo." You said, before walking to the Athena table.
