A stupid crush: Nico di Angelo x reader

Chapter 11

Nico knocked on your front door and you opened it for him.

"You sure no ones home?" He asked.

You of all people understood how he felt, he did like your mom but he couldn't stand being around Percy, his first crush.

"I'm sure. We have the whole house to ourselves." You smiled.

He smiled back and gave you a soft kiss on the lips. You closed the door behind him as he walked all the way in.

You sat down on the couch and began to scroll through movies like 'The Woman in the window' and 'The meg' and 'Stranger Things', you cried when Billy died.

Nico leaned against you, laying his head on your shoulder entwining your fingers together. You laid your head on his.

Halfway through 'The Woman in the window' Nico was asleep, you were concidering whether or not you wanted to turn the movie off or finish it. You decided to turn it off and finish it later. You got up carefully from the couch as to not wake Nico up. You stood then leaned over to pick him up bridal style, he was surprisingly light. Though it was difficult with your cast and all, you would do anything and everythign for him even if it meant risking your health.

You carefully took him to the bedroom and laid him on your bed, covering him in the blankets when he shivered a little. You then closed the door behind you on your way out.

You went back to the living room and sat there, daydreaming as you always did, thinking about things that made you happy when your phone buzzed.

You flipped it over to reveal a text from Connor Stoll, one of your best friends. The last time you received a text from him was when you got into an accident. 

The text read: (Y/N)! IT HAS BEEN WEEKS SINCE I HEARD FROM YOU! YOU HAVE'NT TOLD ME HOW YOU'VE BEEN! WE NEED TO MEET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

-XOXO CONNOR.

You smiled. Connor made you happy. He cared about you alot, which was nice. You replied:
 I'm fine Connor, but if you really don't believe me we can meet up sometime.

Connor: We will, how about tomorrow afternoon? At my place?

You: Sure, sounds like a plan. <3

You turned off your phone and floated into the abyss of your own thoughts.

The next day, you sat around until noon.

You got dropped off at Connor's house and kocked on the front door. 
"Hey," you said waving your hand as he opened the door.

"(Y/N)!!" He yelled joyfully stepping forward and wrapping you in a tight hug.

"Woah," you said, not expecting this, your arms floated above in mid air for a little bit not sure what to do.

"Hug me back silly," Connor said still squeezing you in a hug.

"Right." You chuckled and wrapped your arms around him, it was nice standing there in the hug in Connor's warmth, it felt nice to be hugged.

After a while, he stepped back. "Come in, come in," he said taking your hand and pulling you inside, the two of you sat on the couch.

He stared into your eyes, you awkwardly stared back not knowing what to do. "you seem totally fine," he said starting to scan you with careful eyes, not joking around for once.

You chuckled. "Yeah, except for this stupid cast." you lifted it up for him to see it clearly.

"I didn't even notice it," she gasped. "can I sign it?" he looked at you with eagerness.

"Um. . .yeah only Nico signed it and Percy."

"Cool," he took a red marker, he grabbed your arm and started to write his own name down on your cast.

When he finished, he capped the marker and set it down. Then he started tracing his fingers from the top of your cast to your elbow, to the bottom of your fingers.

He entwined his fingers with yours, you didn't try to move or tell him to stop. It just felt. . .right.

Connor grabbed your other hand entwining your fingers there. Holding each other's hands you sat there looking into each other's eyes.

For a moment it was just you two, you and Connor. Connor and you. You were in a world where only the two of you existed and no one else.

Part of you screamed:

(Y/N), STOP! NO!
NICO.
YOUR BOYFRIEND.
ARE YOU EVEN THINKING ABOUT HIM?

But another part of you was in love.

Who? What boyfriend?

Connor.
So funny.
So kind and nice.

But. . .

What happened to: IT'S JUST A STUPID CRUSH?

THE WHOLE THING WITH NICO.

YOU LOVE HIM.

DON'T DO THIS (Y/N).

But that part of you was drowned out by:

Connor.

Handsome.

Funny.

Kind.

Warm embrace.

The next thing you knew, Connor started inching forward.

And you did too. . .

And then. . .

You kissed.

And then it was magical.

You felt like your life was a puzzle with one missing piece, and Connor was it.

Your life was now complete.

As the kiss lingered, you could have sworn a voice at the back of your head {A/n: *Cough* conscience *cough} said: What have you done?
