Always You - Nico di Angelo x Reader (Oneshots)

Friends - Part 2

A/N - here's part two. Enjoy!!

- third person's POV - 

Nico di Angelo grudgingly walked up to you as you sat near the lake, "You Y/N L/N?"

You smiled nervously. This guy looks cool. A little too cool for you to be talking with him, "Hey."

Nico looked at you, then looked down. He sighed, kicking a non-existent rock aside as he seemed to inspect the dirt below him.

You gulped, offering a hand, "Um, Percy told me a bit about you, Nico. I-I hope we can be friends."

Why the heck were you stuttering?

Nico looked amused, but eventually took your hand and shook it, "Same goes to you."

After a while, Nico slowly took a seat on the bench next to you. You didn't know it, but inside, Nico was screaming internally. Oh gods, she's gorgeous.

The two of you sat in silence. You got so uncomfortable and nervous from the loud silence that you accidentally sent a wave of water on top of the two of you. Maybe sitting right next to the lake wasn't the best idea.

"Oh my gods, I'm so sorry!" you apologized profusely, using your jacket to dry Nico off (since Poseidon kids, including their clothing, can't get wet).

Nico blushed as he sputtered out water, a small fish being spat out to the ground, "I-It's alright."

You heard the fish yelling angrily at Nico before flopping back into the water. You sighed and handed Nico your jacket, "Look, I'm actually really nervous right now. Percy told you to talk to me because he knew I was lonely here. While I do want to be your friend, I understood if I was being a tad bit weird-"

Nico shook his head and took your hands in his, "Hey. Hey, slow down! Y/N, I was the one that asked Percy to introduce me to you."

You blinked, "Hah?"

Nico smiled shyly and tucked a lock of hair behind your ear, "I saw you walking around camp a few years back and... and I guess I thought you were cool."

"I have two questions," you said, "One, you thought I was cool? And two, since when did you know me?"

"A, of course, I thought you were cool. B... well, I was the one who sneezed on that grilled sandwich Peter offered to you."

Your face contorted into a funny expression that Nico thought was cute, "Dude."

Nico raised his hands in surrender, "It was an accident!"

"It doesn't make it any less gross, I nearly ate that!"

"But you didn't!"

"I could have!"

"But you haven't!"

The two of you continued to bicker, eventually relaxing and cracking jokes. Occasionally talking about your favorite shows, sometimes talking about the people at camp.

And at that moment, you knew. Maybe going to summer camp wasn't going to be so bad after all.

A/N - here's an extra because you guys deserve it :3

From a distance, Percy watched the two of you and chuckled. He nudged Annabeth and Grover, nodding over to your direction, "When they get married, I'm claiming to be best man."

Grover rolled his eyes playfully, "I'll be the flower man."

"Well, this is exciting," Annabeth grinned, staring at the pair as Nico blushed at something you said, "I can't believe it took Nico that long to fess up. And to think he admired her from afar for years..."

"Y/N's just as oblivious as you, Perce," Grover smirked, "At least she only took a few years. You took half a decade."

"Shut up."

A/N - Dude, I have so many one-shot ideas, but not enough motivation to write them all 😔🙏

Anyways, I'm going to summer camp. For the first time, actually. So... wish me luck!!

Hope you guys liked the one-shot (two-shot ?). See you soon <33
