'Hey, you alright?' you blinked your tears away. 'As good as I will ever be.' You told Nico, while forcing a smile. 'I hope not.' Nico sat down next to you. 'I see you opened the letter.' He noted and you looked at the piece of paper in your hands. You looked down. 'What did it say?' Silence, at least in the outside world. What did it say?

It said that you weren't good enough. It said that the only person you loved, had sacrificed himself for someone else. It said that in a few weeks' time he had forgotten about you, and found someone else. It said that you weren't good enough, that you hadn't deserved him. It said that he wasn't dead, but at the same time not alive anymore. Not for you. His heart was beating, not for you. He was smiling, but not for you. He was happy, he was content, he was caring, he was everything you ever wanted, but not for you. Leo Valdez was perfect in every way, and you helped him see that, and when he saw he could get something better, he left. It was only fair, wasn't it? You didn't deserve someone as good as Leo.

The feeling of a hand on your shoulder got you out of your spiralling thoughts. '(Y/n)?' a pained smile formed on your face, as you closed your eyes. But closed eyes can't stop tears. You faced up, to wherever Nico was sitting, and with closed eyes and tears falling down you looked at him. Nico's hand on your shoulder tightened as you imagined him looking at you in fear. On the contrary, his hand tightened because seeing you like this hurt him. Your hands were shaking, and your shoulders were moving up and down. You bit your lip to stop the sobs from coming out and opened your eyes. 'I am fine' you crooked out. What surprised you was the look of concern written all over his face. 'You are not. Stop lying. Please' Nico told you and you felt more tears coming up. Nico didn't want this. How dare Leo do this to you? He thought for a second. 'I-I don't...' Nico suddenly moved in to hug you. '(Y/n), let me help you.'

This was a first. Nico didn't know what he was doing, and he felt you stiffen. Nico knew that he didn't hug people often, but Nico felt at ease with you in his arms. This felt nice, not your tears staining his shirt, but he fact that you were close to him. Perhaps you didn't like it, because you still didn't move.

On the other hand, you knew that Nico was not the one to initiate physical contact, other than nudging someone. Even though it now felt you were inside warm walls where you could let yourself go. So you tried. 'I-I' you started when you just let out a sob. You just started letting it all out. The pain of losing your love, the pain of waiting for him for months, the pain of him not returning in the end, the pain of the disappointment you felt when he was nowhere to be seen, the pain of being replaced. It had all crushed you, and you let it all out in Nico's tight embrace, as he stroked your hair slowly.
