What did Nico enjoy? Not much. Although.. the OCCASIONAL stargazing with you didn’t seem absolutely horrible.

So whenever he wasn’t wallowing in self pity, or trying to find pills to cope with his anxiety and nightmares… or when he wasn’t with Will.. he was with you

Being Nico’s.. companion? Friend? Whatever you two were.. it was a lot of work. The trauma, nightmares, the times he almost killed himself from shadow traveling.. it was nice to finally relax with him ontop of the hades cabin.

"…I think I’m finally coming to terms with Bianca’s.. d-death."

Spoke Nico, his voice frail and vulnerable as the cold night air brushed through his hair and your own; the stars casting maps above you two as he awaited your reply.
