You deserve to date someone who’s proud to be seen with you. Who holds your hand in public and tells their friends about you. Not someone who hides you away and is ashamed. Remember that.

having “feelings” is ruining my reputation of being a heartless bitch 

[nico-of-the-angels]

“I don’t know what makes me happy! I don’t know what I’m supposed to do! Everyone’s upset and-and mad and rumors are flying everywhere and I just— I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” Nico said.

‘Maybe it would just be better if I left,’ he thought to himself, but soon forced it out of his head (for now) and otherwise remained silent.

[nico-of-the-angels]

"Of course I see it! Do you think I’m blind?" He let out a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair.

"But what do you expect me to do about it, Thalia? How am I supposed to change it? How am I supposed to keep everyone happy?" Nico said, slightly resigned.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico folded his arms over his chest and gave a quiet huff. “I thought you would have known by now that I couldn’t care less about Luke.”

He began rocking on his heels and pretended to be very interested in the ground.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico stepped into the room tentatively and stood a few feet away from the door, unsure of how great an idea this was in the first place. "Um, if you don’t want to do this, I can just go. We don’t have to talk about… All this," he said motioning to the two of them. "If you don’t want to."

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico stood there for a moment and blinked. He was expecting something a lot worse, more like a punch or a slammed door, rather than a “hey”. But he wasn’t complaining, that’s for sure.

"Uh, hey. Look, I know you probably don’t want to see me right now, but— I’m sorry. For, you know, everything. You, um… You had told me earlier that you wanted to talk? I think, um, now is a good time." Nico caught himself, trying to remember not to be so selfish. "Uh, for me anyway, if it’s not for you, then I can just come back later…"

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico just hummed against the other boy's neck, smiling a little in the process.

"Nothing really -- I just-- really like you," he said between kisses, making his way back up to his boyfriend's mouth.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico moved his hands down to Arsen's shoulders, hugging the boy closer to his body as they continued to kiss. "Hey," he chuckled quietly next to his ear before placing other kisses along his jaw and neck.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico laughed a little at his sarcasm, and pulled the door closed behind him.

He wasted no time. Nico immediately walked over to his boyfriend and smashed his lips onto the other boy's, cupping his face with his hands.

[nico-of-the-angels]

When Arsen pulled open the door, Nico couldn't help but instinctively smile, especially upon seeing that stupid crooked smile he'd grown to love.

"Hey," he replied. "Mind if I come in? Hermes is a bit too cramped right now."

Arsen was the jealous type.

There was no denying it; it was just a fact of life, and thankfully it was one that Nico had learned to live with more-or-less— but that didn’t mean that there weren’t times when he did want to go see Thalia, or Connor, or anyone else in...

Arsen was the jealous type.

There was no denying it; it was just a fact of life, and thankfully it was one that Nico had learned to live with more-or-less-- but that didn't mean that there weren't times when he did want to go see Thalia, or Connor, or anyone else in camp without Arsen by his side.

As Nico walked up the Dionysus steps, he had already devised a plan-- a bit sneaky and devious, sure, but how else was he supposed to get a little slack? He simply knocked politely on the door and waited.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico felt bad about it. He really did. It was truly an awful thing of him to do. What right did he have to disturb her peace and quiet with something that’s bound to only hurt the both of them? To talk about something that was going to bring up sore feelings? To be honest, he was just about to turn around and awkwardly walk away, praying to the gods that she wasn’t in her cabin.

But no, of course she was.

Nico looked up at her as she opened the door, and he immediately felt dread and affection and guilt and love and a million other emotions flow through him all at once, as well as something that felt like bile build up in his throat.

He swallowed it down, only to find that his mouth was bone-dry.

"Uh— H-Hey, Thalia. It’s uh… Um, it’s been a while," he said sheepishly.

OPEN

Thalia closed the door of her cabin before leaning against it and rubbing her temples. All this drama was starting to give her a headache. She walked over to her bed and plopped down on the mattress. She closed her eyes and just as she was about to doze off, she heard a knock at the door.

"Coming…" She mumbled before rolling out of her bed and sluggishly making her way to the door.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico entered quietly and wrapped his arms around Arsen and nuzzled his face into his neck, smiling widely. “Got your water,” he whispered.

[nico-of-the-angels]

i’m not sure which is ωσяѕє.  losing   you     or    the   guilt of   knowing    it’s    my  fault.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico quickly walks back over to the Hermes cabin to snag a bottle of water from one of the newbies, before heading back.

[nico-of-the-angels]

Nico laughed quietly under his breath and turned down the bed for him, before turning around and giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "You got it."
