ΞΞΞ Nico Di Angelo ΞΞΞ Sounds of Innocence ΞΞΞ

You scrubbed down the last few dishes as your boyfriend walked in to the kitchen.

"Hey." Nico Di Angelo said to you as you smiled and dipped the dish into the lava of the camp kitchen used to wash dishes. (That's how it works, right?)

"Hey." You say as you kiss his lips. "I'm almost done here, let's meet up at Zeus's fist at, noon?" You ask him.

"Sure, I'll leave you to it." He says as he gives one last kiss on your cheek and heads out.

You sigh. You quickly scrub down the dishes because you don't want to be late to your date, and nothing can ruin it.

Then of course something ruins it.

Nico was walking out of his cabin when he heard a scream coming from the woods.

"(Y/n)" He says as he starts sprinting off to the woods.

When he got to the border the apollo campers were already there. They had a stretcher and on it was a body. Your body. He did feel a life force, so he was relieved, but, there was something missing.

You were on your side so, thankfully, Nico didn't see the wound. You had a deep cut from a Drachne across your neck before you killed it.

A few days later you come out of the infirmary with stitches across your across your neck, not telling him about the problem. You wore a [color] scarf as Nico went up to talk to you.

"(Y/n), are you alright?" He says while grasping your hand.

You nod sullenly.

"What's wrong?" He asks you as you turn your head away, tears bringing in your eyes. (And in mine to. 😭)

"(Y/n) why aren't you talking to me?" He asks, holding your hands in his.

"Are you mad at me?" He asks with a sad look on his face.

You shake your head as you let go of his hands and you unwrap the scarf, the stitches in full view.

He gasps. "(Y/n),"

You put a hand to the stitchings and mouth to him, I can't talk

Tears brim in his eyes as you hug him tight.

"Don't worry (Y/n), I will always be here." He whispers into your ear as he sings softly.

The two of you sink to the ground still hugging each other as he sings a lullaby to you. One he would always sing when you  were nervous or scared or frustrated.

You take one last look back at Nico as you sniff and hoarsely say, "I love you." As you fall asleep.
