I am so messed up today, and I am currently having trouble writing this since I keep ending up daydreaming. . . Totally sorry for the past stories I wrote that sucked. Maybe it was a better idea if I just made this into a Nico x Reader book. . . I feel so dumb XD XD. . .BTW pretend that this happened after the war with Gaia/Gaea [whatever. Use what name you like better] and that Nico is straight. (Of course you would think that).

-------

Nico paced his whole cabin for hours. He couldn't stop thinking. His thoughts kept on bringing him the thought of you.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" he muttered as he walked.

How long was he pacing back and forth? Since the time he left the dining pavilion. He barely even ate anything. Usually, he eats more than just fruits after the fight with Gaea/Gaia. This time, he completely lost his appetite. And each night, he would stay awake, thinking about you until he stays sleepless through the nights. Most of the nights, he would bang his head against the wall, or maybe punch the wall, or walk around his cabin, maybe even clean just to make him sleep. But none of those things worked.

Finally, his feet ached from walking. He sat down on his bed, buried his face in his hands, and sighed. Whatever charm you put in him, it's driving him crazy. He can't think about anything else but you. The way you run your hands through your hair when you're frustrated was a gesture he found cute. When you smile, laugh, wrinkle your nose, or even close your eyes and breathe deeply whenever you read a book makes him smile. When you trip over a rock, spelled a word wrong or even pronounce it wrongly, reminds him that you're perfectly imperfect. The way you smile and laugh always makes his heart skip a beat. Why does he have to to fall in love with his best friend?

"I give up!" he exclaimed after a few argument with himself, thankful that he was alone in his cabin. Being alone means that no one would tease you, or even notice that you can't sleep. Still, he regretted not having friends. He got no one to go to ask for advice.

Slowly, he stood up. He grabbed his jacket and walked out of his cabin. Silently, he made his way to your cabin. His footsteps didn't make a sound. He was like a ninja or something. He silently laughed at his thoughts. Perhaps he was already crazy. He was already breaking the rules.

He sneaked into your cabin, his footsteps light as the leaf blown by the wind. He stood still when he reached your bunk.

You were sleeping soundlessly, unlike some of your siblings who are snoring. The top of your double-deck bed stayed empty. It was neatly set, waiting for a camper to rest in there. Nico had always wondered why it stayed empty.

Sure, this felt stalking. He doesn't care anyway. Even if he has to travel to another country just to see you, he would. He would follow you everywhere, watch over you, just to keep you safe. He would give you everything that no guy has ever given you. Sadly, he doesn't even know if you like him. It was like you friend-zoned him.

To love is to destroy, your favorite quote ran in his head. The Mortal Instruments was your favorite book [okay, maybemine, asidefrom PJO andHOO]. That quote was right. It destroyed him. But he didn't care. That heart of his that he made as strong and firm as a stone fell for some one like you. As long as you were there, he would be honored to be destroyed by your love.

He shook his head lightly and smiled. You were peaceful. After a long day, you could finally rest. He turned around and made his way to the door when you muttered something, as if you were awake.

He stepped closer to hear it.

"Nico," you whispered. "Nico. . . Nico!" You woke up fully. Your eyes opened and you found yourself in your bed, perfectly safe. Nico stepped on the shadow that your wall created, blending in with the darkness,. You covered your mouth when you realized what you just said.
