Nico had always protected what he loved, especially since his older sister, Biance, died. So when you arrived at camp, later being claimed as a daughter of Hades, Nico knew. He just knew.

He guided you around camp, kept you safe during sparring, everything Biance would've done for him when he was your age if she had stayed.

You were too sweet for this world, and it reminded him of himself when he was that young. Naive and young.

Thunder and rain boomed on the cabin as he held you comfortingly in his arms in the warmth of his bunk.

"It's okay, you're fine..." He soothed, holding you close while your hands sheilded your ears.

Biance would be proud, that's for sure.
