[Nico is pretty sure his face is on fire, and he awkwardly returns the hug with one arm. It doesn't help that he comes to terms with several things in the span of about a second.
1: He likes Jehan. A lot. There is no use in denying that anymore. 2: Hugging him is really nice despite the fact that Nico is super awkward with that whole thing. 3: He really, really wants to lean into the hug. 4: The Demeter Counselor is too good for Zane, and way too good for Nico. 5: This does not stop the desire to kiss him. 6: Nico hates being in love. He's pretty sure that Love hates him, too.
He does not do 1-5 at all, but instead represses them until he can have a proper freak out in private. Number six goes on all the time, so he can't do anything about that.]
