Always You - Nico di Angelo x Reader (Oneshots)

Memes

A/N - hey all! It's been a hot minute since I posted anything, huh? But never here, for your favorite author is back here!

Contrary to my original promise of publishing my novella this september, I don't think that I can go through with that plan anymore and might be able to actually post it this october instead (especially since I have my mid-term holidays coming up).

Anyways, enough yapping. Let's get straight into the story!

This oneshot is inspired by @only_for_the_food's comment, "i was already imagining nico discovering the meme and CONSTANTLY repeating it."

Enjoy!

- Third Person's POV -

When you started dating Nico di Angelo, everybody in your friend group would always make fun of you, saying that you are in a romantic relationship with an old guy.

"You know," Percy would tease, "He's old enough to be your grandpa. Heck, he's old enough to be your great grandpa!"

Then you would jab him in the stomach.

Was the joke true? Kind of.

Since Nico has been stuck in that cursed casino for decades, he had to skip about seventy years of his life. This makes him an old soul but a young boy at heart.

And to you, it was adorable.

Your favorite thing to do when you first got together with Nico was to introduce him to all forms of media.

Not games, by the way. Since Nico is already a pro at video games.

The two of you shared a college dorm together, and you thoroughly enjoyed seeing Nico cuddling up to you to scroll through your favorite social media platforms.

Nico even worked a part time job so that he could buy a cheap phone for himself.

He would always text you with the oddest emojis, send you reels and memes, and feel fascinated with the face-time feature.

"Hi, love," Nico would grin, eyes wide as he made eye contact with you through the screen. "Hi."

However, one day, you began to notice a few quirks from Nico that he never had before.

Nico would walk around the dorm, giving out weird comments whenever he saw something funny. He would look you straight in the eye, and say "Oh no, our table... is broken" or something like that.

Were you feeling funny about all this? Definitely. You even had half the mind to take him to a psychiatrist.

On the other hand, you felt a weird nostalgic feeling every time he would quote something. Statements like "No, no, it's nice!" or "And now I'm bashful..." ticks a part of your brain in the back of your mind.

Finally, one night, Nico flopped right on top of you.

"Nico!" you squealed, trying to push him off, "I'm trying to read."

"You don't follow me on TikTok," Nico whined, shoving his phone to your face. "I want you to see the funny videos I saved."

Your heart melted. Maybe you were really the softie that your friends treated you to be.

"Alright, darling," you pecked his nose. "Get me my phone. We can even start a streak together."

When you clicked "follow" and began checking out Nico's favorited videos on his account, you burst out laughing.

Hundreds upon thousands of memes were piled up, making you realize where he gets his random perks from.

"Is this what you've been quoting to me all this time?" you giggled, "All these old memes and things?"

Nico's face fell. "Yeah? What do you think I was doing?"

His disappointed, pouty little face made you burst into a new wave of chortles. "I thought you were just being an idiot."

Nico groaned in embarrassment, covering his face in the palm of his hands. "Oh my gods, I probably looked deranged to you."

"You did."

"Then why did you laugh whenever I said that stuff?"

"It was genuinely funny, even if I didn't understand it," you shrugged.

Nico huffed and crossed his arms. You pecked his cheek.

"Love you."

"Hmph," he scoffed dramatically.

"... Love you too."

A/N - welp! That's all that I have for you today, folks.

Once again, I'm trying to get through all my writing requests as quickly as possible before the slots for this oneshot runs out.

I have maybe about 40 more slots to fill before the 200 chapter quota from wattpad limits my posting.

So yeah, requests are still always open as long as I still have the space to post them. But no worries! If you miss my writing that much, you can go check out my other oneshot collection at "Leo x Reader: Always You".
