Not Dead - (Nico x Reader Imagines) {✄ EDITING ✍︎}

Chapter 70 | Seeing You Again.

You were walking at night, dagger secretly at the ready if anyone tried to come near you. It was almost 5, and the sun started to settle down. You look up and the sky's atmosphere was a color of lilac pink?
You shrugged your shoulders and kept walking. You kept walking when all of a sudden your thoughts lead you to where he took you to the city fair...

*🍥*

'Y/n you have a cotton candy stain on your chin' Nico tells you. 'Why don't your clean it up for me then?' You ask, playfully being cocky. He blushes 'y/n you know I can't do that.' He stated, put his lips on the soft and dissolving treat. 'Yeah you can. You have a napkin right in your hand' you reply, pointing to the napkin he was holding. 'Oh' He says, completely dumbfounded 'what did you think I wanted you to clean it off with?' You question, playing with him once again. 'Stop playing with me!' He exclaims 'you know I'm supposed to do that' 'Well I guess the tables are turning' You scoff.
He chuckles, taking your attitude very amusing. Your very cute y/n.
'Oh Nico look! The carousel!' You chirp. (Round and round like a horse on a carousel. Ok I'm sorry.)
'Wanna go?' He asks, taking your hand as he also threw out his cotton candy cone in a nearby trash can. You, of course ate it when you laid your fingers on it.  'Of course'

You smile thinking about those past memories. How sweet they were, how loving they were. Like that cotton candy you ate. You chuckle thinking of that metaphor. Except, it didn't leave such a bittersweet aftertaste like what your experiencing currently. You sigh as you could see white fog coming out of your mouth. You didn't notice since you were so deep in though but the temperature went up, chills running throughout your body. Water drops started falling down from the sky, landing on your (h/l) hair. Making its trails down your back. You immediately put your hood up and began heading home when another memory struck you.
And you knew exactly why.

-💧-
'C'mon Nico! I don't want to get soaking wet. Especially, with makeup on.' You complain, almost reaching the house. 'I told you not to. You should've listened to me' He scolded you. 'Hey who are you to scold me?' You tell him. He laughs the laugh you adore so much. 'I love your attitude' He comments, laughing some more. 'C'mon let's go inside' You say reaching the front door as a tint of pink started to spread across your cheeks.
~~

You bit your lip.
Snap. Out. Of. It.
He's not coming back. And he never will. You told yourself the heart hurting truth. You put your palms on your eyes to prevent any tears coming through. You looked ahead of you and found out you needed to make a turn. You did so, and when you did you felt an aura you knew very well. You looked up and saw- Nico. You saw him interlocking hands with someone else. And the thing was it was your friend, Will. You gritted your teeth. Feeling a concoction of betrayal and hurt. How must the gods be so cruel to dawn this upon you. You quickly took action. You crossed the street next to you, leading to the other sidewalk. Lights flashed before your eyes as a taxi was making its turn while you were crossing the street. Your eyes widened. Luckily, all of those years at Camp Half Blood really paid off as your speed increased and you made your way across the street. Nico took notice and squinted as if trying to figure out the familiar figure that was you.
Fortunately, you ran up the side walk and made a right turn to some more buildings. He looked down as Will reassured him that it was nothing and not to worry. He nods as he and Will began to walk again. You huff, all of the air draining from your body. It was fun seeing you again, Nico.
