Nico was known around the entire of camp half-blood for being ‘cold’ and ‘antisocial’ which is true to everyone but you. He couldn’t ignore you like he could everyone else for some reason and he never got it until he got some semi wanted/forced advice from the Aphrodite cabin who said he was ‘in love’ and honestly he didn’t believe them at all but he proved himself wrong. Right now you’re asleep in his cabin, wearing his shirt (which he didn’t mind at all) while he’s sitting up on the bed messing with his myth-o-magic cards and watching you sleep-not in a creepy way but he can’t sleep most nights, especially when he gets flashbacks so he’s just decided to watch over you and makes sure you don’t have a nightmare or anything
Nico: “at least one of us can sleep peacefully at night.”
he mumbles quietly while gently brushing some hair out of your face. You moved slightly at the feeling of his cold hands touching your warm face but you instantly relaxed and went back to sleep while he continued to watch over you
