Ti Amo (Nico di Angelo x Reader)

Part 14

Time passed, and I was still forcing myself to smile. I started sleeping more. A lot. I woke up every day to go have breakfast, throw up, do my chores (very rarely because Chiron let me be depressed and didn't give me any), and sleep again. I always skipped lunch and dinner and everything in between. Throughout all that, Nico was always by my side. He didn't know about the fact that I practically ate nothing. I knew that if he knew, he'd start to go crazy but I just didn't want to eat. I hated my life without Percy. I wondered how Annabeth felt. She was kinda the camp leader and hero. She and Percy were everyone's heroes. Even though I was offered a place in Poseidon's Army, nobody saw me as something important. I hated everything. I wanted Percy to come back. I let myself see him in a vision. He seemed...confused. I prayed to our father every day that he comes back. One day, I woke up feeling like it's enough. Enough being miserable and I had to move on. I really felt pity for my boyfriend, Nico. He was always so supportive and I felt like I was becoming too much of a burden. That day, I felt like smiling. I felt like trying to ease the mood a little. When I smiled and thought about happy stuff, life became a tad easier. As I greeted people with a smile on my face, everyone seemed to forget the bad mood and Percy's disappearance. I was happy but very surprised that my mood really affected everyone. I walked towards Cabin 13. I wanted to spend some time with Nico to make up for all the time I've spent being a burden. I smiled, thinking about him. I opened the cabin door and walked in. Nico was sitting on the edge of the bed and stood up when I walked in. I smiled at him, "Hey."

He smiled back, "Hey. What's making you smile? I haven't seen you smile in a while now."

I took a deep breath, "Well, Nico, I realised that grieving Percy wasn't going to get him back. Also, I was just becoming too much of a burden with my constant bad mood."

"Well, what?!"

"What?"

"I mean, you were never a burden and will never be a burden."

I looked down, "You're lying."

He put his arm around me and rested it on my waist, "Never." He stared at me for a bit then smiled, "Well, I'm glad my hyperactive ball of energy of a girlfriend I have is back."

I chuckled, "Thank you for being there and helping me through whatever I was going through."

He sat down, "Well, I had to." I looked at him with suspicion. He continued, "You helped me open up to people. Why wouldn't I help you? I mean, we're supposed to be there for each other."

I layed down on the bed next to him, "I love you."

He layed down next to me and turned to look at me, "Y/n, you're the best thing that happened to me. You're the only person that could figure out who I am. You're the only person that didn't instinctively think that I would reap their soul in their sleep because, Boohoo, I'm the son of Hades. Y/n...Well, basically, 'I love you' wouldn't cover how I'm feeling towards you."
