intoxicated i love you || xReader [SEQUEL] [COMPLETED]

seventeen // face down - the red jumpsuit apparatus

Y/N

we can wash down this engagement ring
with poison and kerosene
we'll laugh as we die
and we'll celebrate the end of things
with cheap champagne

At night, after Adrian left in fear of the Harpies, Nico entered through the door grinning.

"You look like someone who takes the dentist too seriously," I scoffed as he threw himself onto his bed. He seemed to be in a surreal state. I guess love does work wonders.

Nico turned his head to me with his eyes closed. In his oversized jacket, he was like a smol, smol, cinnamon bun.

"Will Solace is the best person ever," he giggled, wrapping his blanket around himself like a sushi roll. "I love him. Y/N, I love him so much."

I smiled. Nico -- he was happy around Will. They were good together. Maybe one day they'd get married, settle down with some demigod children in the suburbs because science wk.. eventually let same-sex parents have children.

Honestly, what was with the children of the Underworld and the children of Apollo? Is this a trend, now?

"Adrian's great too," Nico mumbled, as if this was something he's always been thinking of. Something of importance. "But, of course, he's not that great because not everything he's done was with his own free will."

I frowned. "What do you mean?" I asked, now curious. Is Nico on drugs? Is he drunk? What's wrong with him?

But Nico didn't reply. He kept muttering things about Will Solace.

Well that was helpful.

I laid down on my bed, curled on my side hugging a pillow. I wish Adrian were here. I wanted to hug him again. I missed him, even though the last time I saw him was less than half an hour ago.

But what if Nico was right? What if Adrian didn't make decisions with his natural instincts? What if ....

Nico was drunk, I decided, as I nuzzled my head deep into the pillow. I'd talk to him more tomorrow, though. Drunk people don't lie about their sister's lover out of the blue like that.
