Dark Prince (Nico Di Angelo x Reader)

High School AU (Part 3)

You walked down the busy corridor, making your way to your last class of the day, a small smile tugging at your lips thinking about Nico.

After that night at his place you had woken up, embarrassed and groggy as Nico had walked you home. After that you and Nico had begun to spend a lot of time together in and out of school.

People had noticed, and rumors began to fly. Not that it bothered you of course, you for one couldn’t care less what people were saying about the both of you, you were content just being with Nico.

What really bothered you was when people would come up to you ‘warning’ you about him, many people telling you about the many fights and trouble the Di Angelo had gotten in countless of times.

You just learnt to ignore them.

You walked into your English classroom expecting to see Nico sitting at your usual seats. Instead he was the only person not there. Most of the people in class were talking in hushed voices while Hazel kept tapping her pencil on the table agitated.

You fall into the seat next to her ‘What’s going on?’

‘Something happened after lunch today.’

You felt your stomach twist ‘Did something happen to Nico?’

She nods ‘He and Thomas got into another fight today.’

You froze ‘Is he ok?’

‘I think so, they wouldn’t let me see him at the nurse’s so I don’t know too much about what happened but he got suspended for 3 days.’

Wrinkles of surprise appear on your forehead as a string of colorful words come out your mouth, just as your teacher walks in.

She looks at your warningly ‘I will not have such language in my classroom (y/n).’ and you felt yourself go red. ‘Alright ladies and gentlemen lets finish off the last of our presentations.’ Collective sighs are heard across the room. ‘(Y/n) and Nico, you’re up’

All eyes are on you as you stand up ‘Uh, Nico’s not here today.’

Your English teacher looks up from her desk ‘doesn’t matter, you can just present it to us.’ you sigh defeated as you grab your things and the essay moving to the front of the classroom.

You really did hope that Nico was ok but truly you wished he’d had picked another day to get suspended.

You got home after that tired, still think about Nico. You wanted to go to his house to see if he was ok, ask him why he got in a fight in the first place. Also the thought of not seeing him for 3 days left you disappointed.

But how could you? You couldn’t show up uninvited, plus what if he didn’t want to see you, didn’t need to see you?

You finally put those thoughts aside as you grabbed a bar of chocolate from your fridge breaking off a piece, you were about to put the chocolate in your mouth when you heard your doorbell ring.

You frown in confusion, you weren’t expecting anyone and both your parents were still at work. You make your way to the front door and open it, what you see makes you gaps in surprise.

Nico stood before you, blacked eye and cut lip, hands in his pockets as he nervously swayed back and forth.

He looks up at you sheepishly a small smile on his face. ‘Hi.’

You felt yourself gaping like a fish out of water at the bruises and cuts on his face ‘wh…what are you doing here?’

Two bright spots of color appeared on his pale face as he tells you he wanted to apologies for missing the presentation ‘I really am sorry for missing it.’

You felt the butterflies in your stomach flying up into your throat making it hard for you to say anything. You clear your throat ‘you came all the way on the other side of town to apologize?’

‘Yes…?’

You close the door behind you taking a few steps closer to Nico, your eyes sparkling ‘it’s fine Nico, as long as you’re ok.’

He lets out a short, almost bitter laugh ‘I’m ok.’

Somehow the two of you had gravitated towards each other so that you were now standing no more than a few inches away from him.

Your eyes darted to the purple and blue colors outlining his right eye and you felt your fingers reach out and slowly trace it ‘What happened?’ you ask eyes on the bruised eye.

Nico grew still from your touch, relishing in the feeling of your cold fingertips on his warm skin ‘The usual.’ He manages out in a hushed tone staring at you, he was so close he could count your every eyelash.

You snort a laugh in response, pulling away much to Nico’s displeasure and looking down embarrassed ‘I was worried about you.’ you admit

Nico stares at you in disbelief ‘you were?’

‘Of course I was! You were suspended for 3 days and then there were rumors that you had to be taken to the hospital for surgery or something like that. I could tell what was true and what wasn’t.’

Nico leans into you, so close your noses brushed against each other ‘I’m ok (y/n).’

‘Good that.’ You murmur before you felt his warm lips on yours’.

It was like kissing silk, his tender kisses were all you could feel and Nico tasted of vanilla; unique and sweet. He kissed you softly, soundly; taking his time to learn every inch of your lips before pulling back breathless.

Tints on pink find their way on his cheeks as Nico tries to regain his composure ‘I uh….wow.’

You let out a small laugh at his wonder before leaning in and kissing him again.
