I do not own Percy Jackson or any of these characters, Rick Riordan does.

Raindrops on Roses

Bianca di Angelo.

Nico di Angelo always smiled, if not beamed, at the sound of the girl's name. They were companions. They were best friends. They were siblings.

Though now, Nico can no longer say that they were any of these things. Because his best friend was gone, away with the wind.

Bianca thought Nico couldn't tell. Bianca thought Nico didn't know that he was sometimes annoying to her. But he knew. And that was okay with Nico. He had the pleasure of even being in her presence. Because to him, Bianca was the perfect person. And at the end of the day, Bianca loved her little brother.

Sometimes, when he would get scared, she would hold on to him and tell him that everything would be okay. And he would believe her, and he would be perfectly content with the rest of the scenario, no matter how scary. Because he had his big sister by his side, and damn it, everything would be okay.

Bianca would look out for Nico and put him first. Now, Nico has no one. His father could care less about him, and he had no mother. He lost both of them. To him, his first mother was Maria di Angelo, of course, but to him, his second mother was definitely and without a doubt his older sister. But both of them were gone, away with the wind.

Her bright warm smile and her affection towards him were both great qualities. Her attitude and love towards him was something extraordinary all together.

Sometimes, he would tell himself not to cry or sulk, because that's not what Bianca would have wanted. But then, just the mention of her name in the same sentence made him upset, and he would start sulking all over again. Because, damn it, it was his sister and he could cry if he wanted to.

And his sister was one of his favorite things, if not his favorite.

Raindrops on roses,

And whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things…
