Nico was a lot of things.

Impulsive, reckless, silent, moody, etc.

But despite all of that, he still found room in his heart for his boyfriend.

You two started dating a few weeks after the war with Gaia. You loved him. You really, really, loved him. But despite the fact you two were dating, he still seemed closed off and cold.

In public.

In private he was wonderful. He wasn’t much of a cuddler, but when you wanted to cuddle, he never said no. He didn’t like kissing in public but when you two were in private it was like he couldn’t get enough of you.

He didn’t seem to be ashamed of you, the whole camp knew you were together, but he wasn’t big on being public despite that.

You didn’t really care, you saw him for who he was, not what he wanted people to see him as.

Still…doubt remained.

Right now you two are cuddled up together on his bed, watching a DVD on an old player after dinner. Your head is on his chest, one of your hands on his stomach. His arm is draped over your shoulders, his thumb gently rubbing your arm.

He's not paying attention to the movie at all.
