Always You - Nico di Angelo x Reader (Oneshots)

Safe Place

A/N - so many one-shot ideas, too little motivation :(

Anyways, enjoy!

- Third Person's POV -

You were a straight-A student, top of your class, and seemingly flawless in your academics.

The teachers often hand-pick you as the best option for school representation, student council duties, and other super energy-draining responsibilities.

One regular school night, you were working your butt off for an essay that was due in less than a week. The whole dam thing wasn't even mandatory, but you craved the academic validation.

Hours went by and your vision began to blur. The quiet echo of the library was haunting you and making your head spin.

Your eyes flew over the textbook references as you tried to finish up with the first draft.

Suddenly, from amongst the darkness, a figure emerged and tilted its head at you.

"Dude, get out of here. I'm trying to sleep."

You blinked, peering into the shelves to see what the person looked like, "Sleep?"

The boy yawned, walking towards you grumpily, "Yeah, sleep. Do I look like a guy who could afford a dorm right now?"

You snorted, taking in his appearance with his disheveled hair and grubby clothing, "Do I need to answer that?"

He rolled his eyes, sticking out his hand to you reluctantly, "The name's Nico. Nico di Angelo. What's yours?"

"Y/N," you took his hand, shaking it with a firm grip, "Y/N L/N."

Nico peered at the textbook that was lying open on your desk, "You're already at that chapter? What are you trying to do, break a record or something?"

You scoffed, letting go of his hand and returning to your computer, "I just like to prepare for the future, you know? Read ahead, study a week before, and... ah, just leave me alone, dude."

"I'm just saying," Nico took a seat beside you, he doesn't even know why he's being so pushy with someone, "That you looked stressed. Sleep-deprived. Oh, look at those poor little eyebags of yours-"

"Stop it, you freak!" you slapped his hand away, trying to hold back a laugh and earning a smirk from Nico.

"Alright, alright... you hag."

"Hey!"

~ time skip ~

You didn't know what happened. Heck, you barely understood how it all started. But for some reason, you and Nico became quite the pair.

At first, you were deeply annoyed with how Nico behaved. Acting way too casual and laid-back, with his drawling voice and eyes that seems to constantly peer into your soul... how could you ever get along with a guy like that?

You were a strict, firm person. You shouldn't associate with someone like Nico.

But oh, how wrong you were. When your mind was screaming no, your heart was begging otherwise.

Every time you felt stressed or overwhelmed with something, Nico would wrap his arms around you like a cooling pad to a fever.

You don't know how this would end up, but it certainly is going well. You were able to concentrate better, reach your goals, and have someone to support you along the way.

And before you know it, the grubby, skinny boy became your safe place.

A/N - kinda short, but hope you guys like it! (or might relate to it, lol)

As always, thanks for reading. Have a great day ya'll! ❤
