Ti Amo (Nico di Angelo x Reader)

Part 16

This one's for you Moonblifan

I was all happy and relieved that Percy could at least remember me. I could still have visions so I wasn't always worried. I tried sending the crew of the Argo II Iris Messages but something would always go wrong so I stuck to my visions. Things were normal again and I kept training with swords day and night. I discovered that the sword I got from my father actually had a name, Τσουνάμι or Tidal Wave. I trained every day and night. With different campers. Discovering new strategies every day. I got really good at it so one day when I woke up and woke Nico up (with a miracle that may or may not have involved a lot of water splashed into his face), I told him we needed to talk, which definitely didn't make him angry because he was soaked (Hehe). After he calmed down, I spoke, "Nico, I'm thinking about accepting the place my father offered me in his army."

"You wanna join Poseidon's army?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh," He thought for a moment, "Do what you wanna do. Save the world. Just be safe for me, okay?"

I nodded and hugged him, "Nico, I love you so much. Thank you for being there."

When we pulled away, Nico looked at the ground and cleared his throat, "Y/n, I've been thinking. I want to go look for the Doors and Death."

"Oh..." I cleared my throat, "Nico, that's very dangerous, but, well,...Just be safe. Please, don't let anything happen to you or I might jump off a roof."

He smiled faintly, "Ti amo."

I pulled him in another hug, burying my face in his chest, "I love you more than you could ever imagine." I nuzzled my face in his chest even more and squeezed him as tight as I could, "Nico,"

He stroked my hair, "Hmm?"

"Can we have one last date together?"

"What?"

"One last date, before I leave to join the army and before you go look for the Doors of Death."

He kissed the top of my head, "Of course."

We both then lay on the bed. He was fast asleep while I kept thinking about what awaits me.

The next day, I woke up and got dressed beautifully, knowing that this could be our last date ever. I woke him up and waited for him to get dressed. When he opened the bathroom door I stood up.

"Hi." I smiled at him.

He smiled back, "Hey."

"Shall we go?" I put out my arm for him to take.

He took it and spoke in a very posh British accent, "Go ahead, m'lady."

I chuckled and started walking towards the beach with him by my side. I didn't have anything in mind. No fancy place, no nothing. Only the fact that this was my last date with my boyfriend before joining my father's army. Nico was also leaving, but he had no one to watch over him. He didn't have anyone to support him. He didn't have any comrades. I only realised I was crying when Nico turned to me, "Y/n, what's wrong."

I sniffed and wiped my nose, "Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I...I'll just miss you. I'm worried sick for you, Nico."

His eyes softened, then he hugged me. I held onto him as if it was a life or death situation.

We had our date. We laughed and remembered all our good memories, knowing deep down that we may not make any more good memories. At last we decided that each of us gives the other something to remember each other while we're away from each other. Nico gave me his skull ring. It didn't match my personality but it was a great reminder. I gave him my blue bracelet. After that I went to move my stuff back in my cabin. I wouldn't need my cotton clothes at the army. I gave Nico one last hug and said goodbye to all my friends at camp then walked into the lake. Getting to my father's palace wasn't hard since I can easily navigate underwater. I walked for I-don't-know-how-long until I finally found the unfinished palace. As soon as I walked into there, I found my father. I spoke in a calm and collected manner, "Father, I'm here to join your army."

He smiled faintly and put his hand on my shoulder, "Good job, daughter."
