A/N: So, I wrote this yesterday because I really like the idea of Nico and Persephone having a good parent-child relationship. I just really love the idea of them bonding and stuff like that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson.
Mothers and Sons
Nico had finally had enough. This had been going on for too long and something had to be done. They had to stop this. Nothing good was going to come out of it. Not for them and especially not for anybody else.
"Persephone!" Nico shouted, walking into his father's throne room.
"Your father's not here. He just left for a council meeting." Persephone answered.
"I'm not here for my father. I wanted to see you." Nico clarified.
"Me?" Persephone asked disbelievingly. "You want to talk to me?"
"Yep." Nico said, popping the 'P'.
"Why?"
Nico took a deep breath in. "Because. You're my father's wife. My step mother and we live in the same house for a majority of the year and well I don't want to fight with you." Persephone was about to reply before Nico held up a hand. "Please. Let me speak." Nico pleaded.
The queen simply nodded; urging the boy in front of her to continue.
"I don't want to fight with you anymore and I'm sure you'll agree with me that it is getting rather tiresome. I also believe that my father will appreciate both of us greatly if we ceased our endless bickering. He is often busy and tired and we're not making him feel any better by shouting at each other when we're only three feet apart." the son of Hades proclaimed.
It had taken him a lot of courage just to stand in front of his step-mother but to actually put his point across to her? That was something else.
"Is there anything else?"Persephone inquired.
"Yes," Nico began. "I. I would really like it if. If maybe, just maybe, you could possibly be a mother to me?" Nico stuttered.
Oh did that feel good to get off his chest.
"Excuse me?"
"I want you to be a mom to me. I didn't get to do the whole 'mother and child bonding experience' thing and I think it would be good for us if we bonded and became somewhat like a,well, like a mother and son." Nico admitted.
"I'll understand if you don't want to," Nico went on. "But if you do, you know where to find me."
Nico turned to walk away but stopped when Persephone called out to him.
"Nico! Wait," Persephone stood up at walked towards Nico. "I think it would be a good idea if we stopped fighting and bonded. You're right. I am getting sick of arguing with you and turning you into plants isn't very fun either."
"Yes. I'll be a mother to you Nico." Persephone agreed, giving Nico and heartfelt smile.
"Thank you Persephone. Thank you so much. Do you think, maybe we could, hug?" Nico questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"I think, we can."
For the first time, Nico and Persephone shared a hug. For the first time in a very long time, Nico was happy and that made something incredibly rare happen. Nico di Angelo, the Ghost King,smiled.
A/N: I hope you liked reading it. Don't forget to review. I understand that both Nico and Persephone are a bit OOC, but hey, that's how I wanted to write them. It's called fanfiction for a reason.
