Nico Di Angelo x fem!reader ♢ｏｎｅｓｈｏｔｓ ♢

Nightmare

It was night, and as usual, I couldn't sleep. I hear a soft drizzling on my cabin roof.

I get up, looking for my book and settling in my chair. It was raining because the campers decided it would be nice to have some rain after the last 2 weeks of scorching heat.  The window was open halfway while the wonderful scent of fresh rain filled my cabin.

Looking out the window, enjoying the cool, light breeze, I hear a knock.

I slowly and quietly walk over to the door. I open it to find my boyfriend, Nico Di Angelo.

His dark obsidian eyes were red and puffy and his hair was wet from the rain.

I didn't need to ask to know everything.

His nightmares have been getting worse, becoming more and more vivid.

I looked at his eyes with sympathy and quickly took his jacket and set it aside. I closed the door and stared at him again.

He looked embarrassed to come to me when he was the "all powerful ghost king" . I found it cute.

I cupped his face and brushed almost dry tears off his face. I walked over to my bed, sat down, and patted my lap.

Nico loved laying his head on my lap when he had nightmares and knowing he was safe with me. I had become used to hearing him knock on the door at night.

He walked over and laid his head on my lap while he continued to softly sniffle.

His sniffles turned to him softly crying into my lap. It hurt seeing him cry and be in pain. At least I know that me being there for him made him feel better. I caress his head to ease him. He seems to calm down a bit. "Thank you" He whispers. I smile at him.

"Of course" I whisper back. He starts to slowly fall asleep. I feel and hear his soft snores. I set him down and cover him with my blanket.

I kiss his forehead and lay next to him. I breathe in his scent of musk and clean laundry, leaning into his chest.
