The Darkness Within (NicoxReader)

Video games

Peekaboo Lily XD lol

ZOES POV

I was currently beating Nico's butt in Mortal Kombat X, with Scorpion. Nico was Sub-Zero. I had just won the round, when (Y/n) came in.
"Hey Zoe, hey Nico!" (Y/n) greeted. I waved, and started to make an excuse so the lovebirds could have their 'time'.
"Hey (Y/n)! Oh! I just remembered that I had to meet Katie at the beach!" I wiggled my eyebrows at Nico, and he scowled at me. Then I ran out the cabin to go find Leo.

YOUR POV

When Zoe ran out the cabin, I just shrugged. I saw the word 'DEFEAT' scrawled across the screen, and a sad Sub-Zero laying in defeat.
"Got beat by the gamer again, huh." He nodded and I sat down next to him, and he put his arm around me.
"What do you wanna do (Y/n)?" He already knew the answer.
"VIDEO GAMES!!" I shout, throwing my hands up in the process. I picked up Zoe's abandoned PS4 controller, and handed one to Nico.
"I call being Sub-Zero Nico" he sighed.
"But (Y/nnnnnnn), I'm best with that guy!" Nico gave you his best puppy eyes. I scrunched up my eyes.
"Too bad. Pick a character!" You say. He groans and picks some character. Then the round started.

You had beat Nico 4 times in Mortal Kombat X, and he had only beat you once.
"Nico let's play Mario Kart!!" He gave you a smirk and set up the Wii. You sat on the couch, watching Nico set it up. You were surprised that Zoe owned so many gaming consoles, for a book nerd who reads 24/7. She had a game boy, NES, PS3, PS4, Wii, and Atari. Even Nico was surprised.

You had chose (Mario Kart character), and Nico had picked Dry Bones. You had both agreed on Rainbow road as the first race. Moo Moo Meadows for the second one, Wario's Goldmine for the third one, and Moonview Highway for the last one.
"I'm gonna beat you Nico."
"Not a chance, Birdie." You smirked at your nickname, and when the race started, you cared about nothing but the race.

You had jinxed yourself. Nico hadn't fell off at all, and you've already fallen off 5+ times. You fell off again, because Nico pushed you off of the track.
"Haha, (Y/n)! I beat you!!"

Nico ended up winning, in 2nd place, and you won in 7th. You guys played Minecraft, Just Dance, and many other games. When you felt exhausted, Nico laid down on the couch, his whole body taking all the space on the couch. He had his shirt off, hands behind his head, and he was looking at you.
"Hey share! Meanie!" you say. He snorted, and patted his abdomen.
"Saved you a spot, better get comfy because once you lay down I'm not letting you go!" He smirked. You rolled your eyes and took out your ponytail. You shook your head around, and put your head on Nico's chest. He was surprisingly warm. He wrapped his arms around your waist, and sighed constantly into your shoulder.
"Goodnight (Y/n), and I'm not letting go." You giggled at this.
"Ok, death breath. Now let me sleep! Or I'll steal your bunk..." He laughed and you started to notice his breathing slowing. Until he fell asleep. You sat up, and looked at the sleeping Nico's face. He actually looked his age, 15. You kissed his cheek and cuddled into him more, your breathing slowing as you fell into a dreamless sleep.

Hey dudes! I'm going to release a PJO/HOO BoysxReader oneshots tomorrow, so if your interested, read it! :) I promise I'll update tomorrow if nothing comes up. But I'm taking Jujitsu classes tomorrow so.. I dunno...
