No Pain, No Gain


As he carefully walked towards the Camp's best healer, Nico di Angelo's head was buzzing with all sorts of emotions and thoughts.

He had just confessed to Percy, that he had liked him for the past four years. Had liked him being the key words, because now, someone else had filled that Percy-shaped hole in his heart, molding it so well and so perfectly, it felt like that his feelings for Percy had never even existed.

With an actual smile on his face, the son of Hades stepped forward into the healer's welcome arms, as he was stirred towards their little make-shift hospital, Will listing all of his injuries and how he would have to stay there for at least three days, because those were the doctor's 'orders'.

Nico simply just tagged along, idly wondering when Percy would propose to Annabeth already.

He wanted to be there to take pictures as blackmail material for later.

Like any good cousin, semi-younger brother would.
