Nico Di Angelo x Reader

• Chapter 3 •

It had been a week since I was reunited with my childhood friend Nico. I had realized I was one of the few people he acknowledged and actually talked to. While he was cold and numb to almost every demigod in camp, he was excited and outgoing when it was him and I.

I let out a soft chuckle as I shook my head and made my way to the Hades cabin, with a small grin on my face. Nico had told me to meet him at his cabin at noon today, saying he had a huge surprise for me. I smiled as I approached the dark, shunned Hades cabin and walked in knowing Nico wouldn't care. I felt a blade meet my neck as I walked in, and sighed moving the blade away with a bored expression.

"And here I thought you'd be used to this." I chuckled as I turned to face the Italian teen and poked his nose. I saw him crinkle his nose as I tapped it receiving a grin from me.

I saw his eyes brighten as it seemed he had remembered something big. "Hey Y/N, guess what I got a hold of!" He said as I now noticed him rocking on his heels with a excited look on his face. "What is it Ghost Boy." I replied with interest I took a seat on his bed.

I saw his smile widen as he pulled something out of his pocket and placed it in my palm. I looked down to see a small wooden sculpture of a sun and moon with intricate designs enshrined in each symbol. I smiled softly as I looked up to come face to face with a blushing Nico.

He pointed gently to the small sun, "That symbolizes you, you're always there to brighten everything up even when things seem hopeless you always help brighten everyone's day. The moon represents me, cold and dark on the outside but to the person who cares for me I brighten up. It takes someone who cares to see the good, and that person's you Y/N thanks for always helping me and understanding me. I still still don't understand how I'm lucky enough to have a friend like you." I blushed and smiled,

"And I'm lucky to have a friend like you." I gently kissed his cheek before leaving with my new gift.
