Dark Prince (Nico Di Angelo x Reader)

Pranks

Currently you and Nico were sitting on the steps of his cabin side by side, the two of you trying to think of a bet for each other, it was a game the two of you had started almost two years ago on a boring, rainy day.

You had been looking around trying to think of a really good bet when you spotted a group of campers walking by.

 An idea blossomed in your head and you slyly turned to the raven haired boy.

'I have one.' You say and Nico raises an eyebrow in question

 'Well, it's a bet on a prank.'

'Ok...'

 'It's a bet on how many people you can prank or scare.'

'I scare everyone.' Nico replies annoyed

You let out a short laugh 'Nico you're a little ball of adorableness.' You say ruffling his hair

He crosses his arms over his chest 'I am the son of Hades!'

You grab his arm 'I bet that you'd only be able to scare about 3 people.'

'I'm going to prove you wrong. I bet that I can scare 5 or more people.'

Your grin was as wide as the Chester cat's 'Alright, here's the plan...'

Later that night

You and Nico were currently hiding in the shadows at the arena, it was a bonus that Nico could blend in with the shadows making you hiding spot practically undetectable.

You were shoulder to shoulder with Nico waiting for the first people to be ambushed by Nico and his army of skeletons. You were so close, you could feel his fingers next to yours.

You impulsively lace your fingers with his cold ones, warming them. It was an innocent enough gesture, but it made the Ghost King go extremely red, shifting his glance anywhere but at you.

You bite your lip about to pull away when you feel him tighten his grip on you making you bite your lip harder trying not to smile too widely.

'So if I win this bet, what do I get?' Nico ask out of the blue

'You get a favor remember, the usual.' That had always been the prize for the game, it may not seem like much to others but you had gotten Nico to do all of your kitchen duty once and that was bliss.

That's when you hear the shuffling of feet and laughter growing louder.

Your first victims.

The group of kids were walking towards the cabins, coming from the beach, Nico shifted slightly to get into position and you let go of his hand instantly missing his contact.

 As they drew closer Nico wielded the skeletons to jump at the campers as he himself jumped at them.

Chaos erupted as some of the campers screamed while others drew their swords.

Much to your dismay, most of the large group were frightened by Nico, at least 7 of them.

You had to admit, Nico did look terrifying when he jumped out.

Nico had quickly gotten rid of his warriors as the campers realized that it was just a prank, their fear quickly turned into anger.

Of course you and Nico had been expecting this and so he ran back to you, grabbing you hand and pulling you away from the group by running off.
