Ti Amo (Nico di Angelo x Reader)

Part 8

After we went back to camp and did our duty towards all the heroes that died in order to save Olympus, Clarisse decided that we should all spy on Percy and Annabeth. They sat together by the ocean and talked. Then, suddenly Annabeth kissed Percy. I couldn't contain my excitement. The whole camp had been shipping these two since forever. Everyone could see how they look at each other except for them. Why did it take them so long?! Suddenly everyone got out of our hiding place and threw the couple in the water. They stayed down a bit, but I wasn't concerned. I was happy. Percy was finally with the girl of his dreams. The whole crowd had already dissolved when he and Annabeth got out of the water. I was waiting for them with Nico on the sand. They got out smiling and blushing like crazy. I stood up and hugged them both, "We were all betting on you both." They looked at me like I was the crazy one. I spoke, "Since the day I came to this place, I thought you guys were actually dating."

Percy spoke, "Well, to be honest, I have liked Annabeth since we were both 12 or 13 or something."

Nico shouted, "Aha! I knew it! I was 10 years old and noticed how you look at her."

Annabeth spoke, "Whoa. Let's all just throw all this past away and focus on the current moment." She looked at Percy like he was the only person in the world, then she kissed him again more fiercely. He kissed her back and they walked away while I stole a kiss from Nico. He never was the one to kiss me because he really respected my personal space. I definitely wouldn't've minded if he kissed me without asking first, but I loved him as he was and that's all that mattered. To my surprise, Nico actually made the move and kissed me without warning. After we pulled away, I whispered, "I love this. I love you."

"I love you too, Shell Head."

I smiled at the nickname and held his hand while we walked back to his cabin. We talked for a while to catch up. We kissed a couple more times and we read together. It was Harry Potter, a classic. We read the last book and cried about the deaths of our favourite characters.

The next morning I woke up with a neck ache because apparently, after crying about Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, I drifted to sleep with my head on Nico's shoulder. I didn't lift my head because Nico had leaned his head on my head too. I waited for him to wake up and he did almost 5 minutes after I did. It took him a moment to figure out what was happening. He stretched and his shirt lifted a tad to show a small part of his skin. I blushed and looked away. I myself started stretching, until I felt a bit of air on my skin. I blushed even more. I started talking, "Morning."

He kissed my cheek, "Good morning, Shell Head."

I layed down on the couch and put my head in his lap while he smiled and started playing with my short hair while I read To Kill A Mockingbird out loud. I put a bookmark in the page I was on and shut the book. I got up and put Alexandria by Yiannis Kotsiras on and started singing. Nico joined me. We both loved this song so much. The next song was Helwa Ya Balady by Dalida. I loved Egypt so much and I loved the language and the songs. I started swinging to the music and Nico held me and swung with me as the song started. We kept dancing to songs of different genres and languages. Nico chuckled, "Y/n, I'm really impressed by your type in music. It's like there isn't a type or language that you don't listen to."

I laughed, "I love you."

"I love you too."

"I think it's time for breakfast."

"Yeah. Let's go."

"I have to brush my hair or do something to my clothes."

"You can take my brush and clothes."

"Merci beaucoup."

He kissed me, then I walked to his open suitcase and took a grey hoodie and a hairbrush. I brushed my hair and took off my shirt to wear the hoodie. Nico's pale face reddened and he looked away. I wore the hoodie and brushed my hair.

I locked my arm with his and kissed his cheek. He opened the door and lead us to the mass hall and we both split for our tables. I sat down next to Percy.

"Where were you last night?" He whispered.

"I accidentally crashed at Nico's cabin."

He nodded and we went to burn a piece of our food to the gods. I thanked my father for explaining everything to me and for being a great father, basically. I also thanked my mother for my great love life.

After breakfast, I had a long day. I was supposed to check out the cabins. My cabin was always a total mess and I knew it. Percy always tried to tidy our stuff but he's just not the best at it (Sorry Pers). I checked out the cabins. Cabin one and two obviously weren't supposed to be checked. No one stayed there. I'd heard of a daughter of Zeus - Thalia Grace - that joined the hunters of Artemis - a group of immortal girls that hate men, basically (You can say they're a group of wild lesbians). I walked into my own cabin - cabin three - and, surprisingly, it was all clean and neat. Percy was inside. I asked him about it and turns out Annabeth helped out (Thanks Annie). I gave it 5/5 (Annabeth really did a great job) and moved onto the next cabin. The day went on and then I wanted some swordfight training. I knew I needed those to be the first daughter of Aphrodite in Poseidon's army. I waited for Nico to finish his own chores and took my sword out. It was a really ancient sword. Made of...sea stuff? I don't really know but it's strong and was gifted to me by my father when he offered me a place in his army. Nico and I fought. He knew I was good and not going easy so he really put his effort into this. He tried new techniques and kept aiming and blocking my attacks. I pinned him down after all this. He then stood up and muttered something about unfair that I'm beautiful, strong, and can control water. I smacked his shoulder, "Shut up!"

"No, I won't! You have everything!"

"Nico, you're the Ghost King and you're jealous of me?!"

He rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

"You know what? I'm teaching you some new techniques you can use while fighting." I winked.

He narrowed his eyes and smirked, "Does pulling my opponent by their waist and kissing them count? 'Cuz that's what I'm doing."

I didn't have time to say anything before I found Nico's soft lips on mine. I kissed him back then pulled away, "Only if your opponent's name is Y/n No-Last-Name."

He smiled, "I think that's enough fighting for today. Let's go get dinner."

We both split ways and had our dinner then went to sleep. I kept tossing and turning, not able to sleep, thinking. I thought about Nico. What was I gonna do? I definitely wouldn't like to just let him die and live with the heartbreak for the rest of my unending life. I kept thinking and thinking. I tried to shut my brain off and sleep. I succeeded but almost an hour of spiral thinking later.
