Kitten

WPOV
"Oh my Gods! It's so cute! What's its name?"
Nico smiled at Drew, who had asked the question. "Bee. I found her in the woods, being attacked by some mymerkes, so I fought them off and Chiron said I could keep her." Bee was a tortoiseshell kitten. She was quite small and loved climbing on Nico's shoulder. And Nico loved it. It was nice to see him so happy, but I have to admit, I was a little jealous. Nico was paying so much attention to Bee, and I was feeling a bit left out. I knew that Nico's allowed to have other friends, and a cat would never replace me (Nico's not a furry), so I felt guilty about being jealous. But it is a bit concerning. Nico hadn't talked to me all day. Was he mad at me? Why was he mad at me? Had I done something wrong? No, I didn't think so. It must be the kitten. I needed to get rid of it. Time to devise a plan.

Okay, so I realized how ridiculous that sounded. What's wrong with me? 'Get rid of the kitten, William.' You know what? F off, intrusive thoughts. Nico can love more than one person, even if one of those people isn't a person, but a cat. That's not my decision to make. So why do I want to make it? I guess I'll talk to him about it. It's not his job to fix all my insecurities, but sometimes I need support.

He smiled at me playfully. "Let me get this straight. Er, clear. You're worried that a cat will replace you."
I nodded.
"That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I spent years in the underworld with my father, talking to delusional spirits. I dealt Jason thinking he could have saved Leo. With Hazel, blaming herself for the rising of Gaea. Don't even get me started on myself. But Bee replacing you is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing I've ever heard." I guess that was reassuring, in his own Nico-ey way.
"Thanks," I murmured. "I love you."
"I love you, too sunshine"
