Prompt 1: Can you do one where Nico meets Anubis's family (isis osiris set and nephthys)

Prompt 2: I would like to read one where it's the other way around and Anubis is introducing Nico to somebody that he considers a parents or uncle aurant of some sort. And worries about how they will react.

---

Anubis gnawed at his lower lip.

This was it. This was the day he was finally going to introduce Nico to his family, or those he considered as family. He was a bit worried. Okay, maybe more than a bit. But it wasn't his fault his family was a little dysfunctional – they were a group of gods after all.

Nico seemed calm enough, even as he was introduced to Isis and Osiris.

Anubis wasn't really worried about either of them. Knowing Isis, she would most likely treat Nico like her son, something she often did with teens. Nico was no different apparently, and she gushed over him the moment she met him.

"Oh, Anubis. He is a spitting image of you, even down to the sickly pale skin," she said. Isis was like that sometimes, spouting things that could be interpreted as hurtful, but were really just jests.

"Thank you," Nico had said, not missing a beat. "We met at a doppelganger event." He sounded so deadpan that Osiris glanced over in surprise. Isis started laughing immediately.

"He does look like you, but he is much funnier, Anubis," she said, ruffling Nico's hair.

Anubis scowled, "I can be funny when I feel like it."

Isis shook her head, "See, if you really were funny you wouldn't have protected yourself like that."

Osiris lifted his hand, "Let the boy be, Isis." He ushered Nico forward, "I am Osiris, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Nico bowed respectfully, "I am Nico di Angelo. The pleasure is all mine."

Anubis smiled, Nico was used to treating his own father, Hades, this way. It seemed like Osiris valued respect.

"What do you think of the duat, Nico?" Osiris asked.

Nico seemed to think it over before answering, "It reminds me of the area I use to shadow travel, the place between entrance and exit."

Osiris seemed surprised, "Shadow travel? That must be one of your inherited gifts from your father?"

Nico nodded.

"Interesting. I do believe the place you speak of is very similar to the duat. It might even be the same place," Osiris mused.

Anubis watched from the sideline as they spoke of the Greek Underworld and Hades – it seemed as if Osiris had met Hades on a few occasions.

"Who is that?"

Anubis turned around and spotted Horus stand behind him. Ugh, he never really got along with Horus, the god was a bit too arrogant for his taste.

"Horus, what a delight," Isis said. "This is Nico di Angelo, Anubis' boyfriend."

Horus raised an eyebrow, "This is his boyfriend? Anubis, I knew you were narcissistic and all, but this is taking it a bit too far. Making a clone of yourself?"

Anubis rolled his eyes, why did Horus always have to insult him.

"I was the one that asked him out actually," Nico retorted. "So, I guess I'm the narcissistic one." He walked over and stretched his hand out to Horus. "The name's Nico."

The god of war looked at his hand for a second before grasping it tightly, "Horus, god of War at your service." Horus then flashed Nico a brilliant smile.
