Always You - Nico di Angelo x Reader (Oneshots)

All I Wanted Was You - #1

~ flashback ~

Now, you were standing face to face in front of your best friend, each on different sides. The battle raged all around the two of you, yet your eyes were sharp and your gaze unwavering.

"Nico," you muttered, sword raised at him as a monster charged from behind you.

"Y/N," Nico grumbled back, a pegasus running from behind his back

How did it all come to this?

Alternate Ending #1: Nico couldn't kill you. Not even if he wanted to.

- Third person's POV -

You had your weapon ready. You were fully confident that you could beat him. After all, you were the daughter of Poseidon against the son of Hades. If Percy could beat gods, surely you can defeat-

"I can't do this," Nico choked out, lowering his sword. He looked like he was about to cry, "Can't you just come back to me, Y/N? Come back home..."

Your heart broke slightly. But then, Kronos's raspy, intimidating voice rushed to your ears.

Son of Hades... has no use for you, Y/N...

Before you could do anything else, you heard a loud roar from the bridge. It had collapsed.

Demigods and monsters alike were trying to get away from the wreck as quickly as possible. You cast one last, sorry look at Nico before returning back to base camp.

🖤💀🖤💀🖤

"What the heck happened out there, Nico?!" Percy shook the poor boy by his shoulders, "Why did you freeze up like that?"

"What did you expect me to do? Kill Y/N? Just like that-?"

"She's not yours anymore, for gods' sake," Percy sighed exasperatedly, slapping his palm to his forehead, "She's of Kronos, Nico. She betrayed us all and she's not coming back."

"Percy," Annabeth said quietly, placing a gentle hand on her boyfriend's shoulder. Her face looked weak and tired, but everyone knew it wasn't just because she got stabbed.

Annabeth turned her gaze to the trembling Nico, "I know how you feel, Neeks. But sometimes... you just can't change the way the fates has decided things to be."

"But she isn't like this," Nico argued, "It isn't like her to leave me... I'm going to get her back."

I swear it on the River Styx.

~ @Tanya_di_Angelo - I believe someone requested a different ending to the story :D ~

Meanwhile, you were badly wounded. You had a deep, long gash down your leg, dripping with blood. It was a miracle you could still stand up after all the damage you had suffered. After a gallant fight, you were able to seek refuge in a corner near the Empire State Building.

Before you could pass out, a gentle hand lifted your leg up and wrapped it with fabric as a bandage. Under your subconscious state, you looked up at a shirtless Nico di Angelo, looking at you worriedly.

"Y/N? Y/N! Oh, mia cara... please keep your eyes open. Please, just look at me, love..." he begged, tears streaming down his face as he shook you slightly.

"I'm awake, I'm awake..." you mumbled, trying to shuffle away from Nico, "Leave me alone... Luke's going to make the sacrifice soon, I-I should leave... I don't want to see-"

"What? What sacrifice, Y/N?" Nico pulled you back into his arms, shielding you as a body dropped to the ground, causing a few of the rubble to come flying everywhere.

You looked away from the wreckage, choking back tears as you recognized who the fallen soldier was, "Please, Nico... Luke never meant for all this to happen. He's going to kill Kronos soon, along with himself."

"What are you begging me for? I-" Nico froze, his face falling slightly, "Y/N... are you afraid of me?"

"No!" you yelled at his face, your emotions in a chaotic mess, "I need to leave. T-The demigods that betrayed the camp are going to seek refuge somewhere else. I want to be with them!"

"No, Y/N..." Nico looked at you sadly, wiping the tears off your cheeks with his thumb, "I want you to come back to me. Come back home..."

In the midst of your sobbing, you felt something die inside of you. And you knew...

Kronos had fallen. Luke Castellan was dead.

With a cry of agony, you fell into Nico's arms. It hurts. It hurts so bad. The past 2 years of being away from your best friend, living with the people you thought you could build a family with, and fighting on the wrong side of the war... you realized everything was for nothing.

Nico looked up at the sky as the clouds cleared away, the sun shining through the dark. He looked at you with a soft gaze and placed a gentle kiss in your hair.

"Come on, love. Let's get your leg fixed up."

~ extra ~

"Blue?" your brother looked up at you as you limped and held onto Nico's arm for support.

"Percy..." you breathed out, looking deep into those brave, green eyes you admired all your life, "Oh, Percy. I-I'm so sorry..."

Without another word, Percy ran to you and wrapped his arms around you in a protective hug, nearly crushing you to death.

"Y/N," he whispered, clutching you close as he choked back tears, "Mom missed you."

From a distance, Annabeth smiled at the trio as Nico closed in to wrap you and Percy up in a group hug.

A/N - kinda interested to write a story from the perspective of the demigods fighting with Kronos (ex: Ethan Nakamura, aka the fallen soldier in this oneshot). 

Also, I hope ya'll don't mind me using the "Percy's little sister" trope again. I just love it too much!!

Anyway, see you soon for Alternate Ending #2. Ciao <33
